I have tutored German, French, Spanish and English and have always found it incredibly rewarding. It is such a joy to see people learn a new language, have fun with it and excel at it! Even though I do not teach languages as a day to day job (I am a Data Scientist / Machine Learning Engineer focusing on Natural Language Processing), I have plenty of experience in language tutoring. I tutored students one-to-one, in a small group (up to 3 people) and in large groups (whole classroom and nursery groups). I have experience working with children too - plenty of work experience and volunteering as well as being an older sister two two siblings. As a language learner myself, I am familiar with the journey of learning a new language and keeping it up. I grew up bilingual with German and Russian in Germany and have learned English, French and Spanish in secondary school. Whilst at uni, I learned Italian and Mandarin Chinese and spent a year in China after my BA. Living in Wales, I also started learning Welsh but am still very much a beginner! I am passionate about making language learning fun and engaging. Understanding and speaking another language opens up so many opportunities: get to know another culture, make friends, have adventures, and work and live in a different country. My husband, who is from Wales, is learning German (he is really good by now actually!), so I get to practice teaching German on a daily basis :) I would love to share my culture with you and help you become a confident and competent speaker of the German language!

Languages ​​are an important part of society, and learning them doesn't always have to be a struggle! I offer relaxed German and English lessons tailored to each student, addressing their specific needs and challenges. Whether you're struggling with grammar, want to improve your speaking, need help with schoolwork, or simply want to feel more confident using the language, I'm happy to help! I try to make my lessons feel less like a typical school class and more like a conversation where you can actually practice and enjoy the language. We can work on whatever you find most difficult, using plenty of practical examples and conversation along the way. I don't believe that pressure is the right way to learn; it's repetition and staying at it—while having fun—that make the difference and lead to results!

My German lessons focus primarily on the spoken language. I work with beginners and more advanced learners. Regardless your current level I'll make sure that you get exposed to day-to-day German from the very beginning. With beginners I tend to work on the most basic topics so we can lay a solid foundation for their future learning path. I provide original learning materials that fit the skills and learning needs of each individual student. This way we can pinpoint learning areas that need special attention and work towards a well-rounded German usage. With more fluent speakers I like to practice conversations which mimic real-life situations. I can help with deepening your sense for colloquial language which comes in handy when getting in touch with native german speakers. My classes are not only aimed at adults but I also help school students with their coursework and during preparation for upcoming language exams. Hope you join my classes and see you soon, Philipp
