German with a twist. Creative learning: convresation plus+

From 128 C$ /h

conversation +

Conversation + is a new conversation based format that combines grammar, syntax, understanding vocabulary and expressions as well as the practice of correct pronunciation and intonation with the reading of a text of your choosing. On the basis of a selected text the conversation evolves around the topics at hand; parallel to this, we discuss anything language-related that comes up. Any question, any problem can be addressed. In this way, linguistic issues can be explored in greater depth, based on your specific field(s) of interest. This fosters a stronger engagement, promotes enthusiasm, and openness that oftentimes fall short in a classic language course situation.

Fields of interest include

literature - we read a book, poem, short-story, etc
philosophy - we read german philosophy in the original, or secondary work on the subject
art - texts concerning art, theater, music etc.
science - scientific articles, specialized literature about science
politics - newspaper articles, essays, etc.
contemporary culture - articles, esssays, etc.

Do you want to improve your grammar, vocabs, writing, listening, and conversation skills? Do you want to speak like a native speaker and reduce the foreign accent? I can help you to achieve your goal.

I have International Certification where I obtained the outstanding qualification in Buenos Aires; and I also have experience teaching my native language in person and online, in one to one and group classes; and different levels and ages.

- Accent reduction (pronunciation exercises, phoneme formation, and modular structures), vocabulary (word family, games, didactic activities), Teach grammar (Present of the indicative, perfect and imperfect past tenses, etc.), and conversation (oral practices with the support of triggering videos and audios); are my focuses in my classes.

-I am an interactive and very dynamic teacher. Students have fun while learning. I like to create challenges and new experiences.

-I also like to create a warm and familiar environment so that the student feels safe and confident for their learning process.

-My objective in each class is to create at least one memorable moment so that the student remembers it forever.

-I use the communicative method and incorporate in my classes different learning styles (auditory, visual, kinematic).

I offer drawing, painting, and 3-dimensional sculpture courses and opportunities for students to explore the different mediums and create an impressive portfolio. I will prepare students to develop their interest in three-dimensional work. Students will be creating work with Cray and 3-dimensional materials. The course will begin withdrawing lessons, model building, and work in clay. Later students will experience mixed media sculptures with other materials. I can help students who wish to create an impressive portfolio for their university preparation. I have fine arts degree from Chicago and works as a studio artist and art teacher.

Hi there, my name is Toby and I am a professional TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) tutor and native English speaker from London based in Berlin. I have been teaching English for 5 years to pupils of all ages and levels and can give lessons in English, Russian, French or German.

I provide a balanced class including vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and discussion but can also focus on any area in particular and have prepared students joining an English-speaking school, adults working in an English-speaking workplace and public speakers amongst others.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any further questions.

I am very satisfied with the English lessons and can only recommend Toby. With his teaching style, he creates a wonderful working and learning atmosphere in which I come out of class motivated every time. He conveys structure, explains connections and a certain logic in terms of grammar. He is excellently able to adjust to the respective level of the student. He quickly recognized my weaknesses, which he specifically focuses on. What more could you want?

Toby is an excellent English teacher. I wanted to focus on my pronunciation and accent. He patiently worked together with me using various methods. I loved so much how he taught me English. And I started hearing from multiple friends that my English had improved. Significantly! These compliments made my days :) I would be pleased to recommend him.

These days photography is present in every aspect of our daily lives. We photograph more pictures than in every past point in history, yet how many of those images are good? Understanding the key elements of photography and camera operation can make all the difference between "just a photo" and a meaningful one.
With an experience of 15 years working as a professional photojournalist, my goal is to pass forward my knowledge and enthusiasm. It takes no more than a few meetings to notice the improvements in your photography.

Who is it for?
- If you are taking your first steps in the world of digital photography.
- If you recently got a new Digital camera and feel lost in the sea of options, configurations, and operations.
- If you just want to get better at taking photos of your next trip or some free time with the children or grandchildren.
I can guide you through the way to make much more from your newly purchased camera or even smartphone,
from the basic steps of the operation to the point you will be able to take beautiful and creative images.

Are you willing to learn drawing or painting? Do you wish to improve what you already know?

I graduated from an art school where I learned all the important classical techniques of drawing, painting and sculpture. I would like to pass on the knowledge I have acquired through my studies and practice and give those who so wish the opportunity to go on a journey into the world of art and improve their language and technique.
The lessons are open to all levels.

The techniques covered range from drawing with pencil, charcoal and pastel chalk to all painting styles (watercolor, oil, acrylic, tempera). You have the opportunity to experiment on different types of paper (with different weights and colors) and canvases.

The topics change from lesson to lesson and can range from the human body to the landscape to the wildlife, depending on your preferences and desires.

Particular attention is paid to the method so that the finished work is clean, pleasant and as expressive as possible.

art is a way of knowing the world for me. My course is based on observation and motivation, and an individual approach helps everyone feel like a creator. In addition to practical skills, I am also well versed in art history. Visiting museums and cultural events becomes part of the educational course

Hi
I'm Delfina, I'm a stained glass artist and would love to teach you how to create anything you can imagine with glass.
I personally dedicate myself to working with glass and pressed flowers and leaves for beautiful frames and jewelry but we can also build terrariums, glass boxes or anything that sparks your imagination

I have all the supplies at home so all you would need is an active mind and some creativity, if you then find that you enjoy creating with glass I can help you find the right tools so that you can make stained glass at home.

Illustration, traditional drawing and digital art course. This course focuses on the search for a personal language or the student's style, in which different techniques and styles, both traditional and digital, will be worked on to help the student find a language with which they feel comfortable and make it their own.
All this through traditional techniques as well as digital ones, such as Photoshop, Zbrush, Cinema 4D, Illustrator, etc.
Specifically, we have extensive experience in using Photoshop.

In addition, advice can be provided on specific projects to be developed, graphic narration, conception of ideas and concepts about a project, development of characters, unification of style of a long project.

The idea of this course is the search and focus of the student's personal language through references and the exploration of different techniques until reaching their own unique language.

My courses are aimed at students of all levels.
I also offer an exceptionally dedicated plan for first year baccalaureate students, offering ongoing support throughout the year for preparation and revision for exams, including the regional exam. This specific program aims to strengthen necessary skills, consolidate knowledge and provide strategic guidance to excel in assessments.

All material is provided

Let your kids express their inner artist and make friends in a very nice and warm environnement !

We speaks French / German / English.

Do you love to draw and create? No matter what stage you’re at, let me help you feel confident in moving closer your creative goals!
If you’re looking for fun, engaging, comprehensive guidance for your creative project or process, you’re in the right place. We can tailor the course to your particular desired outcome 🎨

Creativity is an extension of play, and creativity flows best in an encouraging, relaxed, and fun environment, so that is a priority to me in my approach to these lessons. I want to guide you in the practical aspects but also provide dynamic support (the creative process is not always straightforward!)

I have a BA in Illustration, 3 years experience teaching a comics class for kids aged 6+, and 10 years as a professional working artist specialising in narrative and comic illustration.

Suggested topics include: basic drawing, and using tools, style, colour, movement, composition, writing, character design, anatomy drawing, storyboarding, and lettering.

Let’s connect!

I offer private, personalized art sessions for children and teenagers in Berlin, designed to nurture creativity, confidence, and emotional expression in a calm and supportive environment.

With a Master of Arts in Textile Design and experience teaching creative workshops at private schools, I bring both artistic expertise and a sensitive, intuitive approach to working with young people.

My work is centered around creating a calm, secure and attentive environment where children and teenagers can express themselves freely and confidently. I combine artistic knowledge with an approach that respects each child’s individuality and emotional rhythm.

I provide a safe and inspiring space for drawing, painting, storytelling, and open-ended creative exploration. Alongside artistic development, the focus is on strengthening focus, patience, emotional awareness, and self-trust through the creative process.

Each session is tailored with care to the personality, interests, and developmental needs of the child or teenager. Trust is always the foundation of my work, as creativity unfolds naturally when a young person feels safe, understood, and at ease.

Sessions take place in the family’s home, allowing the child to remain in a familiar and comfortable environment.

✨ I work with a limited number of families to ensure a consistent, attentive, and highly individualized approach.

Open to travel upon request.

This class is open to all ages and experience levels, from complete beginners to those with an existing painting practice. The sessions can be shaped around your individual interests and what you would like to explore through painting.

For those interested in developing technical skills, we can focus on materials, paint handling, color, composition, and different approaches to building a painting. For those drawn to abstraction, the class can take a more exploratory direction, helping you discover your own visual interests through experiments with color, form, composition, and material.

Rather than following a single method, the aim is to develop a more personal and intuitive understanding of painting while building practical skills along the way.

I offer introductions to both black and white printing (with the silvergelatin process) and film processing, in my studio darkroom. The workshops run for a minimum of 2 hours.

2hours - film development using Rodinal with a preshot reel of 35mm

4hours - I will demonstrate first how to shoot a test reel to determine the exposure range of the film. Then we will develop it using Rodinal.
