German for Beginners (A1–B1) | Speaking, Grammar & Everyday Communication

From 18 £ /h

Do you want to learn German from scratch or improve your level in a structured and effective way?

I offer personalized German lessons for beginners and intermediate learners (A1–B1), focused on real communication, clear grammar, and building confidence in speaking.

What makes my teaching approach unique is my own experience: I learned German myself from A1 to a strong C1 level within one year. I understand the challenges learners face and know how to guide you efficiently through the process.

I am a chemist and currently studying for a teaching diploma at the University of Bern, where my studies are conducted in German. I have also worked as a teacher in Swiss public schools and teach chemistry in German to native speakers (Swiss, German, and Austrian students).

This means I use German daily in an academic and professional context and have strong experience in teaching methods, pedagogy, and explaining complex topics in a simple way.

In our lessons, we will focus on:
• Speaking and real-life communication
• Grammar explained clearly and logically
• Vocabulary for everyday situations
• Listening and pronunciation

I am passionate about languages and about helping others learn effectively. My goal is to make German structured, understandable, and motivating — even if you are starting from zero.

All lessons are adapted to your level, pace, and goals.

About Me

Hello! Bonjour à toutes et tous! Hola! Hallo!

I'm a chemist and nanotechnologist with a passion for science and education. I’m an easy-going and enthusiastic person with a wide range of hobbies and interests — and I love sharing my knowledge in a fun and engaging way.

From a young age, I was fascinated by the natural sciences, especially chemistry. I completed my high school diploma with a focus on chemistry and biology, followed by a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and a Master’s in High Technologies.

To complete my second Master's thesis, I studied Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies in France. During this time, I interned at a start-up, where I gained valuable hands-on experience in nanochemistry methods for cancer treatment and immunotherapy.

I've also been actively teaching since I was 18 by offering private tutoring to children and university students for over eight years, and later working as a lecturer at a private engineering school in Kyiv for two years. I have also prepared students for competitive chemistry exams, including regional Olympiads.

I know how to design lessons that are both educational and inspiring. My goal is to help students truly understand scientific concepts and enjoy the learning process.

Currently, I'm pursuing a teaching diploma for upper-secondary schools (Maturitätsschulen / High schools) in Chemistry at PHBern (Teacher University of Bern, Switzerland).

I'm looking for motivated students who want to improve their skills in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, or Mathematics, and who want to enjoy learning along the way.

In my lessons, I use high-quality resources in English and German, including textbooks, scientific articles, YouTube videos, interactive tools, and molecular modeling software — whatever best supports deep and effective learning.

I speak English, German, some French, Polish and Spanish.
My native languages are Ukrainian and Russian.

Moreover, I've been teaching German language for the Ukrainians for more than a year (A1-B2 levels).

If you're interested in tutoring, feel free to contact me.
I look forward to meeting you!

Best regards,
Vadym

This course is designed especially for adults, seniors, and beginners who want to learn how to use AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or NotebookLM in a simple, safe, and practical way. No technical experience is required.

I use AI tools confidently in my own work and daily life, and I also have personal experience explaining technology step by step to people who are less familiar with digital tools. I understand the typical challenges and know how to guide you in a clear, patient, and accessible way.

In our lessons, I will guide you step by step so you can start using AI and digital tools comfortably and independently.

We will focus on practical applications such as:
• Using AI for everyday tasks and information search
• Writing emails, texts, and documents with AI
• Summarizing and understanding information

All lessons are adapted to your level, pace, and personal goals.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

I offer repetitive English and German lessons, according to your school program or simply by wanting 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.

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

✅Practical sessions aimed at providing you with tools, techniques, methods and strategies to better formulate your messages, choose the right words and arguments, and more effectively obtain what you want, by understanding the psychology of your interlocutors and the mechanisms of human communication.

You're constantly negotiating—at work, with your family, in your relationships. The difference between reaching an agreement and remaining dissatisfied often lies in how things are said, the timing, and the other person's understanding. The goal is to learn to decode your interlocutors (their motivations, resistance, and ways of operating) and adapt your verbal and non-verbal communication to be better understood, without confrontation or power struggles, with finesse and efficiency, until these reflexes become second nature.

The approach integrates the analysis of behaviors, modes of expression, and verbal and non-verbal signals (semiotics, relational dynamics, profiles, and human reactions) to identify expectations, obstacles, and motivations. This allows for precise adjustment of communication and maximizes the impact of each interaction, whether in a professional or personal context.

Rather than generic techniques, it is about understanding the real functioning of the human being and adapting one's discourse to the person in front of: capturing attention, arousing curiosity, reducing resistance and triggering action.

Objective: to concretely increase your chances of obtaining the desired result, with efficiency, finesse and respect for others.
