Could not be happier with the lesson - Katharina is fabulous, and the trial lesson was very fun!

Through my job I have met people of all ages and from all around the world with interesting stories to tell.

I speak fluently German, English and French, my Spanish is ok.

Teaching Approach
My teaching approach is very customer-oriented and I adapt my teaching styles and material to the student's needs and learning goals.
During our first session I will evaluate your level of German. Based on your skills and your personal goals I will then either propose a coursebook or will provide you with teaching materials. I always give homework.
Oral communication and vocabulary are my main focus.
