I help students turn German from something they understand into something they can actually use. My lessons are practical, clear, and focused on real communication—from everyday conversations to exams and professional life. I work mainly with intermediate and advanced learners preparing for German exams or planning to study or work in Germany. Expect clear explanations, lots of speaking, and steady progress toward confident, natural German.

Students can expect practical, clearly structured German lessons focused on real communication. My classes are designed to help you turn German from something you understand into something you can actively and confidently use—in everyday conversations, exams, and professional or academic settings. Lessons are student-centered and highly interactive, with a strong focus on speaking. You’ll practice German through engaging discussions on everyday, academic, and work-related topics, supported by clear explanations and targeted feedback. The goal is steady progress toward confident, natural German, not just theoretical knowledge. I mainly work with intermediate and advanced learners who are preparing for German exams or planning to study or work in Germany. Drawing on my experience teaching German and English since 2016—in schools, exam preparation, private tutoring, and academic skills courses—I structure lessons to be efficient, practical, and confidence-building. You can expect a relaxed and supportive learning atmosphere where mistakes are part of the process. Over time, you’ll speak more freely, think faster in German, and feel comfortable using the language in real-life situations.

I have been teaching German and English since 2016, working with learners at lower and upper secondary level. During my postgraduate teacher training, I taught German and English in grades 5–11, including independent teaching responsibilities in grades 7, 8, and 9. In addition, I have several years of experience providing private tutoring and exam preparation (intermediate secondary school certificate and German university entrance exam) for students in grades 5–12. Alongside school teaching, I have worked as a lecturer for academic skills courses, supporting Bachelor’s and Master’s students in developing academic writing and study skills. My teaching is structured, student-centered, and focused on building confidence, clarity, and effective communication in the classroom.

Beyond teaching, I offer expert-level intercultural competence shaped by years of living, studying, and working across Europe. I have studied and worked in the UK and Poland and lived in France, gaining first-hand insight into different academic systems, work cultures, and communication styles. Combined with my in-depth experience of studying and working in Germany, this allows me to prepare learners not just linguistically, but culturally and strategically for success in German universities and workplaces. Whether you are planning to study in Germany, relocate for work, or navigate an international academic environment, I bring clarity, empathy, and insider knowledge—so you can move forward with confidence.
