Nicola M.

My name is Nicola, and my journey with German began on the streets of Berlin, where I lived for 10 years. I learned the language as an adult and turned it into my profession. Because of this, I know exactly what it feels like to be frustrated by grammar or to be afraid of making mistakes.

Today, I am a qualified teacher specializing in Language Acquisition with several DaF (Deutsch als Fremdsprache) certifications. I combine my academic background with real-world experience to offer you a natural, modern method that moves away from boring, traditional school patterns.

What can I do for you?

- I offer personalized lessons for A1, A2, B1, and B2 levels, covering a wide range of goals:

- Exam Preparation: I will help you successfully pass the Goethe-Zertifikat, Telc, TestDaF, and ÖSD exams.

- Career & Work: Together, we can prepare for job interviews, presentations, or the technical language needed for your professional field.

- School & University: Targeted support for university exams, school assignments, and grade recovery.

- Relocating to Germany, Switzerland, or Austria: Practical advice and everyday language for those who have decided to change their lives (just like I did!).

I have about five years of experience teaching both children and adults, in person and online. Over the years, I have worked with various educational methodologies (including Montessori, Waldorf, and more flexible approaches), learning how to adapt the method to the person, not the other way around.

100% Personalized Lessons Every lesson is built around:

- Your starting level

- Your personal interests

- Your ultimate goal (travel, work, integration, or conversation)

I firmly believe that the most effective way to learn a language is to use it actively.

For this reason, my lessons are primarily based on guided conversation, tackling topics that truly interest you: current events, music, sports, culture, or daily life. 👉 My goal is to help you transform curiosity into fluency with a practical, human-centered method adapted to you.

German isn’t difficult: it’s just often explained the wrong way. With the right strategy and a structured path, it can become much more accessible than you imagine.

As your teacher, I don’t just offer isolated lessons, but a personalized journey designed to help you speak with confidence and consistency. What you will achieve by working with me:

🎯 Personalized Strategy We will analyze your current level, your goals, and your available time together to create a realistic and effective study plan.

🗣 Clear and Natural Pronunciation Since I learned German from scratch myself, I know the most common hurdles. We will work on sounds, rhythm, and intonation to make your speech more fluent and understandable.

💬 Practical Conversation from Day One We will use real-life scenarios so that you can immediately apply what you learn to your daily life.

🚀 Concrete and Measurable Progress Within just a few months, many students are already able to handle everyday conversations with significantly more confidence.
