Friendly German Tutor – Academic & Everyday German for All Levels or German with Depth: Politics, Philosophy & Real Conversations

From 27 C$ /h

Hello! I'm Ali, and I'd love to be your German teacher. I'm not a native speaker myself – I learned German from scratch and later passed the DSH-2 exam (C1 level). So I know exactly how it feels to struggle with a new language, and more importantly, how to overcome those challenges.

My lessons are for everyone: complete beginners, intermediate learners, and advanced students who need German for university, work, or exam preparation (Goethe, DSH, TestDaF). With my background in political science at the University of Jena, I also specialise in academic German – writing, presentations, and discussions.

I design every lesson around your personal goals. We use real materials like short articles, videos, and everyday conversations, so you learn the German people actually speak. Grammar is never scary with me, and mistakes are always welcome – they show us where to improve. Most importantly, you'll speak a lot and feel comfortable from the very first session.

I have several years of online teaching experience, especially with refugees, which taught me to be patient, calm, and encouraging. If you're curious about politics, society, or philosophy, I'm always happy to bring those topics into our lessons – they're my passion.

Book a lesson and let's start this journey together. I can't wait to meet you!

Extra information

I teach online and I'm available on weekdays and weekends, including evenings. We can easily find a time that works for you, no matter your time zone.

About Me

Hi! I'm Ali – a German teacher who once couldn't speak a word of German either, so I totally get the struggle! 😄 I'm patient, friendly, and I believe lessons should feel like a cozy chat, not a scary exam. I studied politics in Germany, but I promise I'm more "coffee and conversation" than "stuffy academic". Let's make mistakes, laugh, and learn together – ganz entspannt!

Education

M.A. Political Science studies (Global Governance) –Friedrich-Schiller- University of Jena, Germany

Experience / Qualifications

Academic Background: Studied political science in German at the University of Jena after completing B.A Political Science - Shahid Beheshti University of Tehran, Iran . This gives me deep insight into formal, academic language.

Teaching Experience: Several years of volunteer online German teaching to refugees and international learners, covering all levels from A1 to C1. My students are mostly young adults (15–40 years old), and I adapt every lesson to their individual goals.

Specialist Knowledge: I read German philosophical and political texts regularly (G.W.F.Hegel, Karl Marx, Spengler, Schmitt, and others) and can support advanced learners who want to engage with complex ideas.

Language-Learning Empathy: I learned German from scratch myself, so I understand the challenges my students face and teach with patience, structure, and encouragement.

My name is Jonathan. I am a young teacher with already 15 years of experience in the field of academic support for primary and secondary school children up to rhetoric.

I also provide individual monitoring for your work method, more particularly in terms of understanding the instructions and the work schedule. If you need a helping hand, I'm here to listen.

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

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.

This class is about learning Tunisian Arabic to easily interact with Tunisians. Tunisian Arabic is not the first dialect you hear about when you start to learn Arabic, but it is indeed one of the most fascinating and useful, especially if you are working in Tunisia, your partner is Tunisian or you are into North African social studies.
It occurred to you to be told that Tunisian Arabic has no grammatical or syntactic rules because it's not real Arabic? Well, that's not true! I can reveal you some tips to speak and sound Tunisian even if you don't know anything about Arabic. We will talk, play, watch videos from Tunisian tv programs and learn about language and culture.

I also do transcriptions and translations of documents and videos into French and Italian for academic researchers, journalists, and entrepreneurs.

I am a high school teacher. I speak several languages. Arabic is my native language. I have worked with all levels. And I had training in teaching 👩‍🎓. I helped several foreigners master standard Arabic and the Tunisian dialect 🏆.

I follow an official and recognized program to prepare lessons for each learner.
I use conversations, text images, games, videos, stories to facilitate learning.

I am patient, sociable, and I listen to my learners.
In short, I help you to be able to speak, read, and write in Standard Arabic or Tunisian Arabic. 💐

Mathematics is the best way to enhance your intellect, create bridges between abstract and reality and find the hidden beauty of life.

Good day, my name is Mike. I'm studying at Shanghai University and I've had the privilege of helping over many peers and other students for 3 years. As an experienced teacher, most of my friends and peers believe that I have been doing quite well.

This course is mainly focused on GCSE tutoring, yet math problems from other legal sources may also be accepted.

By the way, the language for classes is English.

Before you go any further, let me introduce myself.
I come from Shanghai, China. I got 138(A+) out of 150 in English GaoKao.
I have no problem in English communication at all and ranked top 0.1% in the English contest for senior high school students in Shanghai.
Besides, I self-taught myself plane geometry(PG) for just 50 days from scratch and surprisingly aced the entire PG part in the preliminary contest of the CMO.

My methodology is as follows:
1. I can show the definitions/examples of a certain type of problems to you.
2. I offer you some similar problems for training and revision in class, then I analyze them.
3. I don't give homework every time, yet I might offer you some interesting problems to solve or valuable facts to know, as your interest and ability in self-directed inquiry is quite important, whose importance grows as you go on with your academic journey.
4. If you wish to bring your own problems and ask about them first, that's okay.
N.B. Please double-check which examination institution you have chosen and inform me(e.g. AQA, Edexcel and so on).

My approach combines teaching and mentoring, taking a holistic approach to ensure improvements in all aspects of a student's development. I am patient and adaptable to the needs of each student.
I adapt my teaching style to fit each student’s unique needs, helping them build the confidence and resilience necessary to succeed both inside and outside the classroom.

Through my own experiences of overcoming obstacles and achieving success, I’m passionate about helping others do the same.

Let’s work together to ensure you reach your full potential, both academically and personally! So be free to book my classes and look forward to carving a niche for yourself in your life journey!

As an experienced and passionate teacher, I put my expertise at the service of your learning to offer you a tailor-made, stimulating and rigorous language journey.

Since each learner has their own objectives, pace and interests, I fully adapt my content to your profile, level and specific needs (professional, academic or personal).

At the heart of my teaching approach:

Attentive and caring listening: During conversation sessions, I pay constant attention to the smallest details of your expression. This allows me to identify your hesitations, adjust your grammar, enrich your vocabulary, and refine your pronunciation in real time, without ever interrupting your flow.

100% authentic materials: To immerse you in the reality of the language as it is truly spoken and written, I incorporate press articles, podcasts, video excerpts and documents from everyday life.

A dynamic and playful approach: I regularly use educational games and interactive activities. Learning through play helps to unlock speaking skills, to more easily solidify complex concepts, and to ensure learning that is both effective and enjoyable.

My goal is to help you progress with confidence, transforming each lesson into a captivating and enriching exchange.

I help students build strong mathematical foundations, improve their confidence, and achieve better academic results through clear, engaging and personalised lessons.
My lessons are suitable for students who want to strengthen their understanding of Mathematics, catch up on difficult topics, or move to a higher level. I use practical examples, step-by-step explanations, guided practice and challenging questions to make Mathematics easier to understand.
Lessons can cover topics such as number and place value, fractions, decimals, percentages, algebra, geometry, measurement, problem-solving and other areas of the school curriculum. I can also support students following Cambridge and UK-style curricula.
Every lesson is adapted to the student's ability and learning needs. My goal is not just to help students get answers, but to help them understand WHY the answer is correct and become independent, confident mathematical thinkers.
