Private German Tutor in City of London and Online

Native German Speaker with State-Certified Teaching Degree in German as a Second Language (DaZ) offering professional, effective, and personalised online German lessons

Hi,

I’m a qualified German educator from Bavaria, Germany, with a background in secondary education, counselling, experiential education, and learning support.

I studied Teaching for Middle School at the University of Augsburg with a specialisation in:

* German as a Second Language (DaZ)
* German Language & Literature
* History
* Sports Education
* Educational Counselling
* Experiential Education

After university, I chose a different path than the traditional school system. I travelled, explored alternative educational approaches, and worked in a variety of educational settings — including as an experiential outdoor educator, substitute teacher, and learning coach. These experiences helped me grow not only professionally, but also personally.
I am a native German speaker with a state-certified teaching degree and a university specialisation in German as a Second Language (DaZ).

In 2024 I completed my teacher training in Germany (Referendariat), which means my teaching approach is modern, interactive, and based on current educational methods.

My lessons are personalised, structured, and adapted to your individual goals, learning style, and language level. I want you to truly understand and actively use German — not just memorise grammar rules.

I explain concepts clearly, use practical examples, work through exercises together with you, and integrate digital tools and modern learning methods to make lessons effective, motivating, and enjoyable.

At the beginning, we discuss your goals, strengths, challenges, and what kind of support you need. Together, we create a learning strategy that works for you personally. I also help you become more confident and independent in using German in everyday life, school, university, or work.

I create a supportive learning environment where you can ask questions freely, gain confidence in speaking German, and make real progress step by step.

In addition to German as my first language, I also speak fluent English, which allows me to explain concepts clearly and makes lessons especially effective, efficient, and accessible for English-speaking learners.

# My Approach

I believe that effective learning only happens in an atmosphere of trust, respect, and emotional safety.

My lessons are:

* individually tailored to your needs
* clearly structured and motivating
* supportive, patient, and encouraging
* focused on building confidence and real communication skills

I combine educational expertise with psychological understanding and mindfulness-based methods. Especially for sensitive learners, children, teenagers, anxious students, neurodivergent learners, or adults who have struggled with traditional education, this creates a supportive and empowering learning environment.

My background in counselling, experiential education, and psychology allows me to support not only language development, but also confidence, motivation, and personal growth.
