Academic & Practical German for All Levels – From Foundations to Fluency

Van 21.79 € /h

This course is designed for learners of all levels – from absolute beginners to advanced students seeking academic precision and linguistic confidence. With over ten years of academic and professional experience in German-speaking countries, I bring both practical language competence and a strong academic background to my teaching.

As a law student at the University of Vienna with extensive experience reading, analyzing, and discussing complex academic texts, I am particularly well-equipped to support advanced learners, university students, and professionals who require sophisticated language skills. At the same time, I have worked with children (from age five) and adult learners of all ages, adapting my methodology individually to each student’s needs.

I offer structured grammar training, conversation practice, pronunciation improvement, exam preparation, and targeted support for relocation, professional integration, or academic goals. My lessons are goal-oriented, intellectually engaging, and tailored to ensure measurable progress while maintaining a motivating learning environment.

Whether you aim to pass an exam, move to a German-speaking country, or refine your academic German, this course provides the structure, expertise, and flexibility to help you succeed.

Over

I am a highly motivated and academically driven German language instructor with a strong international background and over ten years of experience living and studying in German-speaking countries. Having completed my secondary education in Germany and currently pursuing a degree in Law at the University of Vienna, I use German daily at an advanced academic and professional level.

Teaching for me is not only about grammar and vocabulary — it is about building confidence, precision, and the ability to express oneself clearly and convincingly. I value structured, goal-oriented lessons combined with an encouraging and motivating atmosphere. My legal studies have trained me to explain complex concepts in a clear and accessible way, which greatly benefits my students.

I have worked with children from the age of five as well as adults of all ages and language levels. I particularly enjoy working with ambitious learners who have clear goals — whether preparing for exams, relocating to a German-speaking country, improving pronunciation, or refining academic German.

My teaching style is structured yet flexible. I tailor every lesson individually, focusing on measurable progress, intellectual engagement, and practical communication skills. I believe that learning a language should be both disciplined and inspiring

Some Reviews:
Chevaan:
Catherina is without a doubt THE best tutor we know. She is exceptionally committed and is always looking to inspire her students. She has consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty to help our son with his German. She provides excellent study material, engaging homework and follows up to ensure that her students have really grasped the subject matter.

Brian:
Catharina has been teaching our 11 year old daughter for the past few months and we are very impressed with her excellent progress in this short space of time.
Catharina has developed a very good rapport with our daughter and is patient and knowledgeable. Our daughter always looks forward to her next lesson and even hands in her homework on time! We would highly recommend Catharina to anyone who would like to learn a new language.

Afeisha:
Very professional, friendly and informative. I feel like Catharina will help me to reach where I need to. She doesn't just teach from the book, she teaches in a way that will allow you to blend in with ease. I am excited to learn more from her.

Egle:
Great tutor! Catharina adapts lessons to ones needs, gives very clear explanations and most importantly works on the pronunciation of the language. With every lesson she provides lesson material.

Hi I am Fariël!

I've been learning English and French since I was 10, and German since I was 15. I studied in Berlin, Paris, and Bristol, and later completed my bachelor’s degree Switzerland in French (C2 – native level). I also hold two EF diplomas in English (C2 – native) and German (B2). After that, I did my master’s degree in London.

In our first lesson, we’ll chat about what you want to focus on — maybe pronunciation, grammar, or vocabulary. I’ll get a sense of your level through a relaxed conversation, and then we’ll find the best way for you to make progress and enjoy learning the language.

Ik geef Duitse les aan middelbare scholieren die tijdens de reguliere lessen op school tegen problemen aanlopen. Heb je extra uitleg nodig over bijvoorbeeld de Duitse grammatica, dan kunnen we daar tijdens de bijles uitgebreid aandacht aan besteden.
