This one-to-one coaching could be useful for you if you... - want to create a clear picture of your desired future and your individual path - want to activate your unique resources and strengths - want to transform inner insecurity into confidence in order to focus your inner power - want to expand your scope of action - want to use your gifts to co-create the transition towards a life-affirming and vital lifestyle in harmony with nature. I combine hypnosystemic, solution-focused and embodiment methods that are particularly well suited to quickly develop coherent solutions and to support you in living a vibrant, authentic and life-affirming life. In addition we get inspiration from our intuition, as well as elements from positive psychology, permaculture and nature.

German as a foreign language, second language for foreigners
The course is particularly useful for students with a foreign background. Since my native language is Russian, I can be particularly helpful to Russian-speaking students. The price for group lessons is reduced. Course in German language. Object grammar in t. ч.

Berta
Law student teaches Spanish classes for children and adults
Do you need Spanish for your studies or your job? Is your child struggling with the Spanish language at school? I offer face-to-face or online classes in Berlin. The lessons are designed according to the communicative approach by practicing speaking, listening, writing and reading. Besides the traditional worksheets, I use comics, games, music, videos in class. ¡Vamos a por ello!

Tutoring / support with e-schooling in all subjects in grades 1-10.
Tutoring in all subjects in grades 1-10 During this difficult time, it is very difficult for the children and the parents to acquire the subject matter for themselves or their children. Either you don't have time to look after and support your child or you simply lack the skills of a teacher. I am happy to help your child in individual and group lessons.

Sandra
German, math, English, French, music, grammar, spelling, fashion marketing
I like to help all students who now need support in homeschooling with their tasks and cannot explain things to themselves without a teacher. I am also happy to help children with tutoring needs. It is important to me to work out a structure with the children so that they do not have to rely on my help in the long term, but learn how to deal with new, unknown and challenging tasks themselves and how to master them successfully, because this also increases motivation and the curiosity about new things, but above all the belief and trust in / in one's own abilities. Up to 10th grade, regardless of the type of school, also upper level by arrangement. Apart from this focus, I am also happy to help in all other age ranges by prior arrangement.

Guillaume
French course / literature / philosophy / tutoring
Student in Berlin in master of philosophy, mention TB at the baccalaureate, I speak English and German, and I master Greek and Latin, I offer courses at all levels (primary, middle school, high school and adult) in French, English, literature and philosophy. Especially for French, I favor oral skills and gaining confidence in the language to be learned. Using videos, authentic written or oral documents, I hope that in each hour the four skills are implemented. Speak, write (active), understand text and understand audio. By operating in this way, with the help of textbooks operating by language level, I hope to encourage students and show them that a language can be learned, with gradual and well-defined progress! the goal is to learn little by little, and to trust each other!

Iin
German as a foreign language A1-B2 & exam preparation
I am a qualified teacher of German as a foreign language and have studied and completed German (teaching) in Indonesia. In addition, I obtained the Green Diploma for Teachers at the Goethe Institute in Jakarta and also worked there as a teacher and examiner for several years. I design my lessons in a communicative and fear-free learning atmosphere. Due to current contact restrictions, I only offer classes via Skype or Zoom.

Elvira
German classes at all levels, A1-C2. Children, adults, students, companies
I teach German in all levels and ages. I have also had teaching experience with companies and students, in addition to teaching children and young people. I am always guided by the wishes and skills of the student. This means that everyone is picked up from where they are. Then the knowledge gaps are closed and the skills expanded. We work in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and don't forget that should be learned.

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

Andrea
Individual exam preparation for telc German B1, B2, C1 or the Goethe certificate for B1, B2, C1 or C2
As a certified examiner and experienced trainer for German (foreign language), I prepare you individually for the telc German and Goethe certificate exams. Why with me? I know the telc German exams and Goethe certificate exams in detail. You will not only learn the parts of the exam, but also the best strategy for solving each part of the exam and the tasks. Efficient preparation: As a rule, 10 appointments are enough if you already have good prior knowledge. We focus on you passing the exam. Ideal if you already have good previous knowledge. In just 10 appointments you will learn the exam format, the tasks and the best strategy. Do you need more time before the exam? Do you still have gaps, your knowledge of German is not sufficient or you have been living in Germany for a long time and it has been a long time since your last course? We will then add the most important topics relevant to the exam so that you are optimally prepared.

William
Repetitive German language course for all ages and levels
I offer repetitive courses in German and English, according to your school program or simply out of a desire to develop in these languages. Having obtained my gymnasium maturity certificate in June 2020, I have an intermediate level B1 in these two languages with a small advance on English. I have vocabulary in both languages very favorable for improvement in the language we work.

Sophie
Individually tailored German and English Lessons with native speaker
Hi! My name is Sophie I am 26 years old and originally from Cologne, Germany. Currently I am studying at the Politecnico di Milano. I have been lucky to study abroad for my University education in the Netherlands and Italy. When learning new languages the most important part for me has been practising together with native speakers. Often the most important factor for mastering a new language is confidence. I can help you reach this confidence by practising English or German in a relaxed setting. And don't worry I also speak Italian so when really necessary I can also explain things in Italian.
