About Me

Hi, my name is Franzi.
I am a qualified German teacher with several years of experience in teaching. German is my native language. I work in the beautiful city of Düsseldorf and mostly teach via Zoom. My goal? I want to specifically support international professionals in developing their careers and feeling at home in Germany. I love learning and I have great respect for everyone who builds a new life abroad Therefore, I offer German courses specifically for expats.

As an experienced German teacher, I can help you acclimate to Germany and your professional environment more quickly. I offer individual online German courses that focus on your professional requirements and personal goals. This includes vocabulary and grammar training, cultural background information, speaking and pronunciation training, or personal coaching, depending on what you need.

Through simulations of job-related situations, I can help you express yourself more confidently in German and overcome any fears of speaking. Additionally, we will discuss cultural aspects to help you better understand the German (business) culture.

You can work with me until you feel confident in handling all everyday and professional situations.

Frequently asked questions

1. Who offers the German courses?

I am a qualified German teacher offering courses on a freelance basis. The lessons take place exclusively with me personally.

2. Who is the target group for the courses?

The courses are tailored to the needs of expats and professionals working in German companies.

3. What is the teaching style?

My teaching approach is communicative, meaning that the focus is on conversation and the content is very practical. We work with typical conversation situations from everyday life and work and use materials and texts that you can use there. You also receive homework that you can complete digitally or analogue. Of course, I always adapt my style to your interests and needs.

4. How is the personal learning strategy created?

Before the course begins, I conduct an oral and written placement test with you. You also explain your personal goals for the lesson and what you specifically need the German language for. Information about your previous experience with learning, your learning style, your learning strategies, and preferences for certain digital tools helps me to compile the appropriate materials for you. During the course, I also support you in developing your strategies for learning a new language so that you can learn as effectively as possible.

5. What is the goal of the German courses?

The goal depends a bit on your personal goals and what you need German for. If you want to improve your communication skills in the office, this is a specific, professional goal. If you want to learn German to make new friends and feel more comfortable in Germany, then the goal is to improve your everyday German. However, taking a German course will always help you feel more competent and integrate better, as you understand the language and culture better.

6. How is the learning success measured?

I offer regular chapter tests, correct your homework, and prepare you for the official language exams from Goethe and telc. Even if you do not want to take a language exam, we can still use the model tests of the language exams and simulate the exam to see how you would perform in an official exam. During the lessons, I also give you regular feedback on your progress and show you points where you still need to work.

7. What are the benefits of a personal German course?

The benefits of one-on-one lessons are that you'll be training solely with me, meaning you'll have much more speaking time compared to a group setting. Additionally, I can focus on your accent and help you with pronunciation and proper stress. Another advantage is that I can give you more frequent feedback and correction, helping you to learn faster and more effectively. I can also tailor my exercises to your specific needs and work at the pace you require. I can better cater to your learning style and choose materials that suit you, which is more limited in a group course.

8. How is the scheduling structured?

This depends on whether you would like to take individual lessons or complete an entire level. A full level usually takes between 80 to 120 hours of lessons, depending on your learning pace, prior knowledge, and motivation. Additionally, there is personal study time and application. I will work with you until you reach your level. If you have a full-time job, I recommend 1 to 4 hours of lessons with a teacher per week.

9. Is there a guarantee for learning success?

I will do my best to help you reach your goals. I can motivate you, practice with you, and offer you suitable materials, and we'll have a lot of fun in the lessons. Ultimately, however, I can't learn for you. This means that you are responsible for your own learning success. Ask yourself: Do I really want to learn German and what am I willing to give? How much time and effort do you want to invest to reach your goal? If you are willing to participate regularly and learn a lot, I will be there for you, even if you are not motivated at times.

University graduate in German language and literature (Master of Letters in German with specialization in medieval languages and literature) with a solid experience, gives private German lessons for all levels.
My lessons are adapted according to the needs of the student. They aim to consolidate concepts, fill gaps, prepare for exams (maturity, compulsory school leaving certificates, entrance exams to gymnasiums and universities, Goethe Zertifikat up to B2). Opportunity to learn the language.

For school supports:

This is above all long-term work, which implies on my part taking the time to "learn how to learn" in an effective manner: every exercise is explained in detail, which can make its execution easier. slower. Quality takes priority over quantity in order to obtain optimal results over time.
Students bring their own course materials (notebooks, books, audio CDs, dictionaries, assessments, etc.).
Another important point: in order for my help to be beneficial, it is necessary that the student provides regular personal work between lessons. This essentially involves rereading your notes, repeating exercises similar to those carried out together or even moving forward in learning vocabulary.

For conversation classes:

The topics are based on interests and/or specific needs for exam preparation. I attach particular importance to pronunciation, fluency and vocabulary. I usually correct at the end of a conversation exercise with detailed feedback, in order to avoid any blockages and to work on fluency. Depending on the level of the students and/or their expectations (exam preparations/assessments/desire for improvement for example), I work on the choice of appropriate words, grammatical accuracy, the ability to formulate more or less complex sentences.

For exam preparations:

The courses offer to acquire solid tools to learn to write, to comment on literary texts and a methodology to work on oral comprehension. The student must bring their own exam preparation brochure, available in all bookstores. For Goethe Institute model exams, the exam books from Cornlesen are particularly suitable. The other alternative would be to download and print before the start of the course a copy of the Goethe Institute exam available on the institute's website.

For the oral comprehension:

Work from audio-visual viewings downloaded from the Deutsche Welle site, which offer various recordings adapted to all levels, with a very concrete approach. In the long term, the student acquires ease not only in oral comprehension, but also enriches his basic vocabulary through exercises. I also work on the Goethe Institut oral tests to familiarize myself with speaking.

For the work of the written expression:

I begin by explaining in the first lesson some methodological tools to acquire writing skills. The student has the opportunity to start writing during the course or do a writing exercise on duty and give it to me to correct (send by email or at the beginning of the next lesson). The corrections are explained in detail. In addition, at the time of booking, the student can send me a draft copy before the lesson so that I can meet his needs even more quickly.

Apart from my presence with the student, every lesson involves preparation time before and after the lesson, particularly for the work that I correct. My goal being to design an individualized course, I take the time necessary to write detailed comments on corrected work or advice to ensure maximum success for everyone.
In addition, each student can contact me at any time outside of class by email if necessary.

Feel free to contact me for more information. :)

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.

My methodology is to base myself on the courses in a structural and clear way, accessible to my learners to give them quality teaching and a total understanding of the courses in a cordial and satisfying atmosphere.
My method is very simple, I start by teaching you the most common and most used words and expressions. Then slowly the formation of sentences, conjugation, grammar but also how to pronounce each word well and know their positions in the sentence.
Thanks to my very simple and effective teaching methodology, the student can form sentences in Wolof very easily from our first lesson.

Wolof is the most spoken language in Senegal, Gambia where it has been enriched with contributions from other dialects, Arabic and French, which remains the official language. It is experiencing cultural expansion in the country and is also present in Gambia and Mauritania.

So to facilitate your integration into Senegalese society; it is essential to use this language because it is the vernacular language although there are several beautiful local Senegalese languages but Wolof remains the most used language. This is why I offer myself to teach the beauty of this language which is my specialty and my mother tongue, I also teach Senegalese and Gambian culture and civilization.

Learning Wolof offers anyone who wishes to know Senegal, in a professional, cultural or tourist context, the opportunity to establish privileged contact with its population.

I would also like to inform my learners that apart from online courses, I organize language visits and tours in Senegal; for those who wish to travel to practice and discover Senegal with special packages.

DON'T HESITATE TO BOOK A COURSE DIRECTLY SO THAT I CAN EXPLAIN AND INTRODUCE YOU TO THE WOLOF LANGUAGE.

High School Math can be confusing for students. Often there is not enough time in school to repeat the content and practice enough, for the students to gain confidence and a routine in solving mathematical problems. With my help and guidance, any confusion will be cleared and we will practice problem solving until you are confident and understand the material.

The lessons will be tailored to your needs and their structure depends highly on you: usually it is a mixture of repeating the content, solving exercises together, summarising important concepts and talking about exercises you tried yourself at home. The topics, content, pace and methods of learning will be adjusted to your needs, ensuring that you get the most out of my lessons. Besides the lessons, you will get "homework" to work on to strengthen your skills and independent working.

Topics include, but are not limited to:
-Linear Algebra
-Calculus
-Trigonometry
-Geometry
-Probability
-Set Theory
-Analysis

If you have another topic in mind that you really need help with, just send me a message!

Whether you need someone that explains the concepts to you or just someone to practice exercises with - I am sure I can help you. You have an exam soon and want to review the main topics? No problem! You have a very specific problem, question or topic that you need help with? I'm here to answer any questions! You need help with preparing for your A-levels/High School diploma? Don't fret, I will guide and prepare you!

The most important part of my lessons is, however, to ensure a safe and comfortable environment - I have no issue with explaining the same concept over and over again until I am convinced that you have understood it. It is important to me that you feel comfortable in asking any questions - I want to show you, that Math is more than a subject and that it can be fun!

The German language is currently in high demand in the labor market, and Germany accepts scholarships for study or work, so learning the German language has become necessary for anyone who wants to study or work at an advanced level.
The German language is not difficult, but it requires effort, regularity, and follow-up with the teacher, as well as making sure to attend classes with concentration.

German is often perceived as a complex language, but it is above all a logical and powerful tool for boosting your career or traveling with confidence in Europe. Whether you are a complete beginner or want to refresh your knowledge, I have designed this course as a practical immersion to break down the language barrier.

You will learn to construct correct sentences from the very first lessons, master pronunciation, and understand key grammatical structures without getting bogged down in theory. Together, we will work on real-life scenarios (daily life, professional settings) so that you can express yourself with confidence and fluency.
