My teaching method aims to improve your language skills (speaking, listening, writing, reading). I firmly believe that using grammar correctly is very important, but not the be-all and end-all of language learning. Most people want to make themselves understood and be able to communicate, so that's what my lessons focus on.
Languages are directly influenced by culture. You will thus also gain a deeper understanding of German culture and customs in order to help with your learning progress.
I am a student of Conference Interpreting (with English as my main language). German is my mother tongue.
As a side hustle, I started teaching German as a foreign language in 2016. Since then, I have been teaching German on and off to teenage students at an international boarding school in Germany, preparing them for visiting and graduating from a German school and, subsequently, uni.
Language is my passion. I love passing on and gaining a deeper understanding of my own language through teaching, and helping people express themselves and communicate with each other.
