Friendly German Tutor – Academic & Everyday German for All Levels or German with Depth: Politics, Philosophy & Real Conversations

From 14 £ /h

Hello! I'm Ali, and I'd love to be your German teacher. I'm not a native speaker myself – I learned German from scratch and later passed the DSH-2 exam (C1 level). So I know exactly how it feels to struggle with a new language, and more importantly, how to overcome those challenges.

My lessons are for everyone: complete beginners, intermediate learners, and advanced students who need German for university, work, or exam preparation (Goethe, DSH, TestDaF). With my background in political science at the University of Jena, I also specialise in academic German – writing, presentations, and discussions.

I design every lesson around your personal goals. We use real materials like short articles, videos, and everyday conversations, so you learn the German people actually speak. Grammar is never scary with me, and mistakes are always welcome – they show us where to improve. Most importantly, you'll speak a lot and feel comfortable from the very first session.

I have several years of online teaching experience, especially with refugees, which taught me to be patient, calm, and encouraging. If you're curious about politics, society, or philosophy, I'm always happy to bring those topics into our lessons – they're my passion.

Book a lesson and let's start this journey together. I can't wait to meet you!

Extra information

I teach online and I'm available on weekdays and weekends, including evenings. We can easily find a time that works for you, no matter your time zone.

About Me

Hi! I'm Ali – a German teacher who once couldn't speak a word of German either, so I totally get the struggle! 😄 I'm patient, friendly, and I believe lessons should feel like a cozy chat, not a scary exam. I studied politics in Germany, but I promise I'm more "coffee and conversation" than "stuffy academic". Let's make mistakes, laugh, and learn together – ganz entspannt!

Education

M.A. Political Science studies (Global Governance) –Friedrich-Schiller- University of Jena, Germany

Experience / Qualifications

Academic Background: Studied political science in German at the University of Jena after completing B.A Political Science - Shahid Beheshti University of Tehran, Iran . This gives me deep insight into formal, academic language.

Teaching Experience: Several years of volunteer online German teaching to refugees and international learners, covering all levels from A1 to C1. My students are mostly young adults (15–40 years old), and I adapt every lesson to their individual goals.

Specialist Knowledge: I read German philosophical and political texts regularly (G.W.F.Hegel, Karl Marx, Spengler, Schmitt, and others) and can support advanced learners who want to engage with complex ideas.

Language-Learning Empathy: I learned German from scratch myself, so I understand the challenges my students face and teach with patience, structure, and encouragement.

My name is Jonathan. I am a young teacher with already 15 years of experience in the field of academic support for primary and secondary school children up to rhetoric.

I also provide individual monitoring for your work method, more particularly in terms of understanding the instructions and the work schedule. If you need a helping hand, I'm here to listen.

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

Firstly, this lesson ensures that you as a student feel at ease! We will first get to know each other a little bit, and then you can tell me what you expect/want in a lesson, or what you specifically need. Step by step, I will ensure you, that you as a student, will learn the Dutch language. You will come to me for different reasons, for example for an integration exam, or because you live temporarily as an expat in the Netherlands and want to learn the language, others enjoy it as a hobby and others come to the Netherlands for love... There are so many reasons! My lessons are tailored to your wishes, you indicate what you want, and I will help you with it, which will make you feel more at ease. From teenage to adult students, from beginner to advanced and in between, I enjoy teaching my classes all over the world! Curious?! Then I hope to see you in my class! Greetings Carolina

Good day, my name is Mike. I come from Shanghai, China. I'm now studying at Shanghai University.
Chinese is the language of the east, connecting people from many nations.

Does Chinese scare you? The tones, the characters, such a different grammar... You might not know where to start.
Good news: With the right method, it's much less intimidating than it seems! So don't hesitate to contact me!

Before you go any further, let me introduce myself.
I come from Shanghai, China. I got 138(A+) out of 150 in English GaoKao.
I have no problem in English communication at all, and thus I ranked top 0.1% in the English contest for senior high school students in Shanghai, surpassing more than 15 contestants from the Top 4 elite high schools, which includes Shanghai High School. Surprised? That's true.
I have been teaching Chinese down-to-earth in offline training institutions for over 3 years as a professional teacher.
Besides, the HSK exam might be helpful to you(e.g. for overseas students in China/for foreigners working in China).
An organized, systematic course for HSK prep is also free to go!

I offer grammar lessons, conversation practice and/or exam preparation through dynamic and practical classes.
Moreover, if you wish to have a firm grip on this language, thinking in Chinese rather than just reciting the grammar rules is quite crucial.
Anyway, if you're looking for a friendly, patient and dedicated teacher, I'd be delighted to help you achieve your goals!

My methodology is as follows(may not all be included, as your needs go first):
1. I can show the examples of certain pronunciations/tones to you and you can read after me if you want.
2. I can provide you with vivid conversations and fulfill your curiosity by Q&A interactions.
3. I can present you the past papers of HSK and analyze them if you wish.
4. Instead of giving you homework, I hope that you can search more interesting videos and passages from the web, based on your own preference.

My approach combines teaching and mentoring, and I take a holistic approach to ensure improvements in all aspects of a student's development, so no worries at all!

It's okay and normal that my students come from all walks of life. As long as you are willing to learn, there is a way.
I believe that interest is the best teacher, so I'll try my best to prepare before classes and make them effective to students.

Through my own experiences of overcoming obstacles and achieving success, I’m passionate about helping others do the same. Let’s work together to ensure you reach your full potential, both academically and personally!

German Exam Prep & Native-Speaker Coaching (TELC, Goethe, ÖSD – B1/B2)

I'm a native German speaker (Swiss citizen) with close to a decade of teaching experience, specializing in oral exam preparation for TELC, Goethe-Institut, and ÖSD at B1/B2 level. My lessons focus on what actually gets tested: speaking confidently, pronunciation that examiners understand clearly, and the specific question formats used in these exams.

Beyond exam prep, I coach students preparing for job interviews in Germany and Switzerland — helping you sound natural and professional in a real workplace conversation, not just pass a test.

What you can expect:

Structured practice for the oral TELC/Goethe/ÖSD exam formats
Individual phonetics training to fix pronunciation issues holding you back
Interview simulation for job applications in the DACH region
Flexible, interactive lessons adapted to your level and goals

Whether you're preparing for an exam next month or building the confidence to work in a German-speaking country, I'll tailor the sessions to exactly what you need. Available online.

Process Engineer (Chemistry).
I offer English and Arabic lessons as well as homework help, tailored to the level, needs and objectives of each student.

I have already had the opportunity to accompany children of different ages and levels.
I also worked as an English tutor at the university for four years. This experience allowed me to develop a real knack for individual support, with very different profiles and levels.

I can help you learn or improve your English or Arabic, work on grammar, vocabulary, and comprehension, improve your speaking skills, or simply gain more confidence in the language. I also offer homework help, with explanations tailored to the student's level and support to better understand lessons and develop effective study habits.

I adapt to each student's pace and above all, I try to make the lessons simple, clear, and enjoyable. The goal is not just to do the exercises, but to understand, progress, and gradually become more independent.

The courses are open to children, teenagers and adults, from beginner to advanced level.

I primarily offer in-person lessons in Lyon 3 and Villeurbanne. Online lessons via videoconference are also available. I generally prefer an initial in-person lesson to get to know the student, understand their needs, and develop a personalized learning method. We can then continue in person or online, depending on preferences and availability.

I offer engaging and personalized online Math lessons for children from Year 1 to Year 6. I can support students following British, American, or National curricula, with lessons adapted to their school syllabus and individual learning needs.

Students will build a strong understanding of mathematical concepts through clear explanations, practical examples, exercises, and interactive activities. Lessons can focus on schoolwork, homework support, exam preparation, revision, or strengthening specific Math skills.

My goal is to make Math easier and more enjoyable while helping students become more confident and independent learners.
