Test preparation, beginners of all ages, technologically & culturally interested advanced students. I currently hold a teaching position for German literature, linguistics and philosophy of language, work as a German examiner for universities partnering with the Goethe-Institut and speak clean Hochdeutsch. I began teaching German at the private Colegio Humboldt Caracas in Venezuela, where I had moved to collaborate with musicians from the "El Sistema" national orchestras. At the Colegio, my responsibility was the preparation of pupils for their German Language Diplomas (DSD) I & II and university entrance exams (FSP). I closely follow scientific as well as technological developments, so we will never be short of interesting topics. BEGINNERS: You will get a free account on DEUTSCHFUCHS, which is a German learning platform recommended by Germany's BAMF and Austria's OeAD. There, I will assign you targeted homework exercises to help you consolidate and practice what you learn. ADVANCED STUDENTS: We will improve your fluency and vocabulary by talking and/or writing about topics that interest you, and/or by discussing short articles that we read together or in preparation. Targeted grammar exercises will iron out your weaknesses. EXAM PREP: You will learn and practice a highly structured approach with official exams and supplemental materials, until the most challenging exercises become routine for you. To keep things simple, all my lesson types and durations are priced the same. Choose whatever fits your preferences best without worrying about cost differences.

✹PROFESSIONAL NATIVE GERMAN TEACHER WITH PASSION✹ I started teaching German to international students in 2009 as a private tutor during my university studies. During that time I realized that this is my true passion, because I love to work with people and seeing progress in my students makes me feel proud and truly happy. After graduation I took several courses to become a professional teacher and soon got a job at a reputable high school in Taiwan. Besides teaches classes, I still tutor private students and currently I am on a temporary leave to travel the world, while still tutoring online and funding my dream through italki.

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. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT • Proficiency evaluation • Lessons at your own individual needs and learning style • Various learning materials • Conversation oriented lessons • Error correction of your written texts

Goethe certificate in methodology and didactics: Trained teacher with over 8 years of experience I am very lucky because I love my profession. But passion alone is not enough to be a good teacher. You also need didactic, methodical and pedagogical skills. For this reason I decided to attend the distance learning course "DaF Methodik und Didaktik" at the Goethe Institute in June 2019. I successfully passed the final exam. I am convinced that teachers need to be constantly trained, too. So they are able to offer their students the best teaching performance.
