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.

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.

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
