About Me
My name is Isabel. I am a native German speaker with two Master degrees - Adult Education (University of Hamburg, Germany) and Language and Literacy Studies (University of Cape Town, South Africa). I hold a German teaching qualification (240 hours) and a TEFL certificate (120 hours). I have been teaching German as a foreign language since 2012 and gained teaching experience in various countries, language schools, a university and private tutoring.
I offer individual, engaging and professional online one-to-one lessons for levels A1 to C1.

I have a passion for teaching German and have over 14 years of experience teaching languages. My aim is to tailor my lessons individually to each student, create a safe and engaging teaching environment and help my students to improve their spoken and written German and improve their confidence using German in every day life situations.

Isabel is not only a great teacher but also a nice companion! She always helps me to speed up my German a little during our conversations. Isabel listens to students' recommendations and is ready to tailor the lesson according to your needs. I like that Isabel mixes various books. I do love our classes!

Testimonials
Yoon, South Korea
I learned German with her for about two years. She is very sincere, patient, and supportive to my individual needs related to learning German. I initially studied German textbooks with her, and later, after my German improved, I was able to discuss various topics with her. Above all, I practiced a lot of presentations in German with her for my own personal needs, which was very helpful for my career.

I`ve been learning German with Isabel for over two years and I hope there will be many more because I´m very happy with her. In this time I´ve noticed real progress. I like her methodology. She has a lot of material and she knows how to teach the language (you can tell she has experience doing this). In addition, she is a super nice person and she makes the lessons enjoyable. I totally recommend her!!
