Learning with fun & structure UNIVERSITY CERTIFIED 21 yrs EXPERIENCE Specializing on KIDS & EXAMS Structured tailor-made classes and progress checks plus feedback! University certified teacher! With 20+ years teaching globally in schools, German institutes, kindergartens (Austria, Germany, Thailand, South Korea, Nepal, Laos, India), I specialize in children/teenagers, exam preparation, conversation, and cultural fluency. My research-based methodology combines structured grammar instruction with immersive, real-world application, ensuring rapid progress for students of all levels. I teach German in a communication integrated way, grammar, speaking, reading and writing with a wide range of materials for different age groups. I adjust my teaching method to my students. Students have different expectations and I try to find them out. I ask my students for feedback and let them chose the material; providing a balanced class, grammar, conversation, quiz, games and free talking, reading and writing. As I have learnt several languages (Russian, English, Latin, Korean, Hindi), I know about difficulties and pitfalls of learning a language. Learning languages should be fun and according to the needs of the student. I had several ADHD students with special needs and could help them to achieve their learning goals. My motto: There is no inapt student, only teachers who do not know how to teach individual students effectively!

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.
