Private German lessons - Conversation, Written expression, Oral and written comprehension, Vocabulary, Grammar, Conjugation

From 38.07 £ /h

Recently graduated with a double master's degree in international relations and political science, I have already worked in German-speaking Switzerland (Grisons) and lived in Zurich, in addition to numerous stays in Germany. I am a very caring person, full of motivation and dynamism, and above all full of desire to help my students progress in this language that I love so much: German!
I adapt to all levels and am very attentive to the needs of my students. I have already had 2 students in private lessons. During a typical lesson, I have the student speak to check what they have learned from the previous lesson, then, based on a weekly theme, work on oral or written comprehension as a basis for acquiring vocabulary and new expressions. Then again I have the student speak about what he/she has understood and explain the important grammatical points. I develop this typical structure according to the needs expressed.

Experienced teacher, having lived a year in Lüneburg, I am enthusiastic about the idea of helping anyone wishing to learn German or improve their level by enjoying reading and speaking it.

The objective of this course is to offer a pleasant environment to anyone wishing to learn or improve their German, in order to enable them to gain self-confidence. We seek to create an atmosphere where the learner will enjoy coming back and seeing the progress made.

I have experience in teaching and tutoring, I appreciate the contact with the students, but especially their smiles when they regain self-confidence and feel capable of progressing.

It is a privilege to experience these moments that allow students to open up, express themselves and discover new perspectives.

I'm heading home. The purpose of this course is to be able to help people who have gaps in German and / or English.
Help with homework to help with what is difficult and difficult in German, English and French eventually.

My method is work, because work is the key to success. I work with the student on the vocabulary, the grammar etc. At the end of the course I give small exercises to make sure that the student understands !!

I arrange for a short summary of the course to the student & I give him homework at the end for the next class (if needed)

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

Hi future students! 👋

My name is Pauline, and I’m a native German speaker from Leipzig, Germany, with fluent English (American English) and Spanish, plus intermediate French.

If your goal is to speak German or English more confidently, naturally, and without stress, you’re in the right place. My lessons focus on real-life communication, not just textbooks and grammar drills.

What I offer:
- Conversational German or English to improve fluency & confidence
- Relaxed, motivating 1-on-1 sessions tailored to your goals
- Exam or interview preparation (A1–B1, travel, work, daily life)
- Personalized lessons based on your strengths and weak points

Whether you want to:
- speak more freely and sound natural
- prepare for an exam or interview
- improve pronunciation and listening
- refresh grammar through conversation

I’ll adapt the lessons entirely to you.

How my lessons work

We focus mainly on speaking and listening, supported by:

- vocabulary expansion
- pronunciation & accent training
- practical grammar (explained simply)
- reading & writing when useful

I provide engaging materials such as slides, images, short videos, music, games, and real-life texts - no boring worksheets.

Homework is optional and adapted to your schedule. If you’re busy, we keep it light and practical.

I’ve also been a student on Apprentus myself, so I know what makes lessons effective, enjoyable, and worth your time.

📩 Feel free to reach out with any questions or specific goals - I’m happy to help you start speaking with confidence!

Know the language of Goethe.
German is a language that is thought of as harsh and aggressive. It is quite the opposite, and I would be delighted to demonstrate this to you.

At least to make you want to through free, varied learning, outside of the school and academic framework

German is a complex yet beautiful language. It's a pleasure for me to teach it. I completed a language immersion program that allowed me to perfect my German, and I am available to teach it. During lessons, I can: help with German homework, prepare a lesson at home and present it to you (at your level), and create exercises tailored to your specific difficulties.
