I grew up in Austria, graduated from Cambridge and love tutoring German!

My Approach to Teaching German

German is my mother tongue. I have tutored more than 50 people in German, from total beginners to highly advanced and from small children to octogenarians. I try to tailor my teaching approach to the individual needs of the student as much as possible. Speaking should be at the centre of a German lesson. Learning German requires fun and discipline. I think my German lessons contain both.

My Biography

I grew up on a farm in a small village in Austria. There was not much to do there, but when I attended my Gymnasium (secondary school), I discovered my love for ancient languages (Latin and Greek). Reading about the ideas of those times, I got into philosophy and the big questions. My first extended essay at school dealt with the question of free will. Then I worked as a paramedic for 9 months. This was an exercise in character-building and real world experience! Afterwards, I studied Philosophy at Cambridge University for four years. Now I live in London, pursuing a PhD in the Philosophy of Political Economy at UCL. Teaching German is a privilege for me: I can share my love for languages and new cultures and help my students learn a new skill that could open new doors for them.
