You understand German.
Now let's get you speaking it.
I'm Thomas - a native German speaker from Berlin. I've been helping adult learners go from understanding German to actually using it since 2018. Online, flexible, and always focused on what you really need.
Most learners hit the same wall
You've done the courses. You've learned the grammar. You understand what people
say - but when it's your turn to speak, something stops you. You search for words, second-guess yourself, or just switch back to English.
That's not a German problem. That's a speaking practice problem. And it's exactly what I focus on - getting you past the point where you understand the language, to the point where you can actually use it.
How I help you
Two ways to learn with me - a self-study course built around real everyday situations, or personal 1:1 lessons adapted to exactly what you need.
Real Life German
100+ everyday situations with real dialogues and audio you can speak along to. Built for people who live, work, or want to thrive in Germany.
Real dialogues for real situations - doctor, landlord, workplace, Amt and more
Phrase handouts with the most useful sentences per situation
Private German lessons with me
Personal online lessons with a clear focus and structure - built around your goals, your level, and what will move you forward fastest.
Speaking practice in real conversation situations that you have in daily life
Grammar explained clearly and directly - when you need it
German for work, exams, or everyday life in Germany
Online via Google Meet - flexible scheduling, materials included
What makes this different
Clear, practical explanations
Complex grammar broken down to what actually matters - explained directly, with real examples you can use immediately
Structured around your goals
Every lesson starts with what you need. The focus is always clear - speaking, grammar, exam prep, or German for work
I know both sides
Native German speaker who has learned three languages - I understand the process and know exactly where learners get stuck
About me
I'm Thomas, 35, born and raised in Berlin. German is my native language - and I've spent years learning others. I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese, which means I know exactly what it feels like to study a language for months and still struggle to hold a real conversation.
I've been teaching German since 2018 and have helped thousands of learners get to the point where they can actually speak the language - in everyday situations, at work, and in German exams. My approach is direct, practical, and always focused on real progress.
