I am a certified TestDaF and telc examiner. I specialise in test preparation. I am a certified TestDaF and telc examiner. I specialise in test preparation (Goethe-Zertifikat, TestDaF, telc, ÖSD, fide, etc.). I have been teaching German online since 2016. Prior to that, I taught German at one of the leading language schools in Berlin for over six years to build my teaching skills and experience. I hold a Magister (German equivalent to the master's degree) in German history and literature from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (2001) and a certificate of teaching German as a foreign language from Goethe-Institut, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (2010). Before becoming a language teacher, I was a journalist for six years at a local newspaper in Potsdam. Language lessons can be fun, but language-learning is certainly time-consuming and occasionally frustrating. I am therefore aiming at establishing a collaborative relationship with you and keeping you motivated and inspired along the way. I look forward to working together with you! I offer both general German language lessons and specific courses of grammar, conversation, writing, test preparation and interview preparation. My focus is on intermediate and advanced German learners, who need a higher level of accuracy and fluency in terms of exposition, argumentation and self-expression.

The really appealing thing about working with Robert is that in addition to being a good teacher, he is also very well read and thinks deeply about a wide variety of issues. Our hours are filled with conversations that would be stimulating and challenging in any language- that they’re in German makes it a great learning experience

He is patient, always provides creative and helpful explanations that facilitate memorizing vocabulary and grammar, is flexible and attentive to student needs and interests, approaches teaching in an organized and methodical manner, and has interesting things to say about pretty much any topic you can think of.
