About Me

Learn German with Confidence, Structure, and Purpose

My Experience :
I have professional experience as a German language instructor in adult education, with a focus on German as a Second Language (DaZ) and German as a Foreign Language (DaF). I have taught both group and individual courses at levels A1 to B1 (GER), including BAMF-approved integration courses. My responsibilities included lesson planning based on structured curricula, language assessment and placement of learners, exam preparation (telc and g.a.s.t.), and learner support in academic and everyday communication. I have worked with learners from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds and place strong emphasis on communicative competence, methodological clarity, and learner-centered instruction.

Guidance to Students :
Learning German opens the door to education, professional opportunities, and meaningful integration into German-speaking society. In my classes, I create a structured, supportive, and respectful learning environment in which students feel confident to actively use the language from the very beginning. Through clear explanations, practical exercises, and real-life communication, I aim to help learners achieve their goals efficiently and with lasting confidence.

One-On-One Personlized Courses

The German A1 course focuses on building a strong foundation in the German language by introducing learners to basic pronunciation, the German alphabet, and essential phonetics, including umlauts and common sound patterns. The course develops fundamental communication skills such as greeting others, introducing oneself, asking and answering simple questions, and using polite expressions in everyday situations. Learners are taught core grammar concepts including personal pronouns, present-tense verb conjugation, noun genders, articles, plural forms, basic sentence structure, and simple negation. Vocabulary is expanded around practical themes like daily routines, family, food and beverages, shopping, travel, numbers, dates, and time. The course also strengthens listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills through simple conversations, short texts, forms, and basic written messages. In addition, learners gain introductory cultural awareness of German-speaking countries and everyday social etiquette. By the end of the A1 level, learners can understand and use familiar expressions, communicate in simple routine tasks, and interact confidently when the other person speaks slowly and clearly.
