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.

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.

She provides excellent study material, engaging homework and follows up to ensure that her students have really grasped the subject matter.

Brian:
Catharina has been teaching our 11 year old daughter for the past few months and we are very impressed with her excellent progress in this short space of time.
Catharina has developed a very good rapport with our daughter and is patient and knowledgeable. Our daughter always looks forward to her next lesson and even hands in her homework on time! We would highly recommend Catharina to anyone who would like to learn a new language.

Afeisha:
Very professional, friendly and informative. I feel like Catharina will help me to reach where I need to. She doesn't just teach from the book, she teaches in a way that will allow you to blend in with ease. I am excited to learn more from her.

Egle:
Great tutor! Catharina adapts lessons to ones needs, gives very clear explanations and most importantly works on the pronunciation of the language. With every lesson she provides lesson material.

I offer repetitive courses in German and English, according to your school program or simply out of a desire 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 Nazlı, a native Turkish teacher from Istanbul, Türkiye.
I have over seven years of experience teaching Turkish to foreigners of all ages and levels.
Currently, I’m completing my master’s degree in Turkish Language Teaching and conducting academic research on modern methods that combine technology, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science to make learning more effective and enjoyable.

💬 My Teaching Style

I believe every student learns differently, so my lessons are personalized for your goals and interests.

✨ If your goal is to speak Turkish confidently, we’ll focus on real-life conversations and pronunciation.
✨ If you prefer grammar and structured learning, I’ll make complex topics simple and practical.
✨ If you want a balanced approach, we’ll mix speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities.

My students often describe me as patient, friendly, and supportive.
I always make sure our lessons are interactive, relaxed, and motivating — learning Turkish should be enjoyable! 🌸

📘 What You’ll Experience in Our Lessons

In the first lesson, we’ll:

1. Complete a short Language Goals & Objectives Form to understand your learning style and aims.
2. Do a level test (if necessary).
3. Start your personalized Turkish learning plan!

I mainly use an interactive smart book and share 100+ learning resources through Google Classroom, including:

- PDF books and worksheets
- Online exercises, games, and quizzes
- Audiobooks, stories, and short films
- Homework and extra practice after each lesson
And many more...

These materials make it easy to learn and practice Turkish anytime — even outside class!

🌟 Ready to Start?

If you want to learn Turkish online, improve your speaking skills, or build a strong grammar foundation, I’ll be happy to guide you step by step.

Book a lesson today and let’s start your Turkish learning journey together.
I can’t wait to meet you! 😊🇹🇷

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.

During our studies, it sometimes happens that we experience academic difficulties.

Based on the teacher's work, I offer tailored support. This would help the student overcome obstacles and address their weaknesses.

The ideal parent is one who can identify academic problems and communicate them to the private tutor.
Whereas the ideal student is the one who dares to say when he has not understood, without fear of judgment.

Trusting the teacher is key: they offer an opportunity not only to acquire basic academic and cultural knowledge, but also to learn how to live in a community. In this way, the student can become a good citizen and develop their autonomy and self-directed learning skills.

Each week, we will schedule a one-hour meeting. The goal will be to define a learning objective and a problem, using a specific method.

Regarding the time and duration of the work, it all depends on the student's request. I would be happy to discuss this point further by phone or video conference.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
