Learn German using a full immersion-method! In my lessons, we speak German! :) Learn German using a full immersion method! :) I am Austrian, and have a passion for my mother tongue. German is a beautiful language, and it is key to master it well if you plan to live, work or study in one of the German-speaking countries. I have been teaching German since 2000 to people who need German for their work, for their studies and for travel. I have work experience in teaching business German and test preparation for all levels. And I follow polyglots because they have interesting learning techniques! In my lessons, I use videos with topics that the students prefer, because I think that we learn best when we deal with topics that we love to talk about. PLEASE READ: I am happy to help with rescheduling classes up to 1 day before the scheduled time, but I do not accept last minute changes. I do not teach children on italki - people under 18 years. I teach German and do the lessons mostly in German. Before each lesson, the student works with a video, makes a summary according to their level and learns the vocabulary. During the lesson, we will speak about the video, make role plays and correct the text together. Like this, the student gets trained on hearing, writing and speaking German. :) Two of my articles are published on italki: 5 Top Mistakes even German Speakers make in German: https://www.italki.com/article/1175/Top-5-Mistakes-Even-Native-Speakers-Make-In-German.

Simply the best! Stefanie is a great teacher, and I wholeheartedly recommend her. The lessons are interesting and productive, and after each one I'm even more motivated to learn German. My only regret is not starting six months earlier.

Die Zusammenarbeit mit Stefanie hat mein Deutsch enorm verbessert! Ich kann mich jetzt viel selbstbewusster unterhalten als zu Beginn unserer gemeinsamen Stunden. Ich finde es toll, dass sie nie ins Englische wechselt, um Konzepte zu erklären. Es hilft mir wirklich sehr bei der Sprachgewandtheit, ausschließlich Deutsch zu sprechen! Sie kennt sich sehr gut mit der deutschen Grammatik aus und kann mir erklären, wann eine grammatikalische Regel zwar im alltäglichen Deutsch nicht verwendet wird, aber für das schriftliche Deutsch oder in beruflichen Kontexten wichtig ist. Ich habe das Gefühl, die beste Nachhilfelehrerin gefunden zu haben, und freue mich darauf, mit ihrer Hilfe noch höhere Deutschniveaus zu erreichen!

Stefanie's lessons are very comprehensive - I get to practice from listening, speaking, to writing. I definitely learned a ton!

I would highly recommend Stefanie P. as a language teacher. She is professional, patient, and genuinely committed to her students' progress. She explains linguistic concepts clearly and simply, using practical examples and useful terminology. She also provides links and resources for independent learning. What I particularly appreciate is her structured approach. She patiently guides the student throughout the lesson, identifies and corrects mistakes, and systematically works on improving weak areas. Most importantly, she adapts the difficulty level, topics, and exercises to each student's individual abilities and progress, making every lesson productive and effective.

I find classes with Stephani very productive. In each lesson she helps me improve stylistically, points out mistakes I'm making in both speech, and gives me targeted exercises to improve my weakpoints
