German with Ricarda

“Understanding a language opens the door to other people”

I offer private online lessons and exam preparation (TELC, Goethe) for all levels of the German language. After considering your personal learning preferences, I will propose a specific textbook that meets your learning objectives.

Language is my passion. Most important for me is communication from person to person. A common language enables us to get to know each other and helps us to actively participate in social and cultural activities. It gives us the chance to act independently and autonomously.

I very much enjoy teaching German in a professional way. For my teaching, I have two top priorities. First, my classes are clearly structured and goal-oriented. Along with promoting active communication, providing a solid understanding of grammar is important to me. Second, I want to create an atmosphere that sparks the joy of learning and encourages curiosity for finding out more about culture in German speaking countries.
