Hello dear students 🙂
I'm Catharina, a qualified German language teacher from Hanover, Germany, with experience in teaching students from the US, UK, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Brazil, Middle East, etc.
Apart from teaching, I'm passionate about travelling and learning languages through classes and self-study. I am excited to teach my students German through a variety of approaches and exercises. Together we can read, write, and most importantly speak the language in class. I’m excited to learn about your country and culture.
I’m also fluent in English, Spanish, Italian and French. So, if you’re a complete beginner in German, I could help you out in these languages, too.

Catharina is a fantastic teacher and really helped me understand concepts that I didn't quite get before. We prepared for my German exam and I passed with a great score thanks to her targeted approach of areas that I was weaker in. I can only recommend Catharina!

Catharina is an excellent teacher. She is doing a great job of catering the lessons to my needs. I asked for everyday conversation practice and she speaks slowly and enunciates very clearly, which really helps me to understand. And she's great at making conversation. I also asked to learn more grammar and she explains it very clearly with examples and then gets me to practice using the grammar by asking me everyday questions. I like that she type ...s everything I'm learning up in the notes (that I can see in real time) and then sends them to me so I can review them later. I highly recommend her!

Catharina es la mejor profesora de alemán que he tenido. Se adapta totalmente a las necesidades de sus alumnos y he aprendido más en un par de clases con ella que en 4 años de universidad.

Catharina war bei mir Lehrerin für eine Woche. Wir haben uns für der Goethe C1 vorbereitet, und das sogar sehr gut! Sie hat mich ständig mit grossen Geduld geholfen und meine Vertrauen angehebt. Ich wünsche Ihnen alles bestens :)

I am preparing for the Goethe C1 exam and happy that I chose Catharina. She is very structured in her teaching and makes sure that the hour covers speaking, reading, and a listening exercise. She checks my writing exercise before the class and we discuss the corrections in the class. Her feedback is very helpful and targeted towards my common mistakes. When I make mistakes in my speaking, she takes note of them in the chat and a separate word doc ...ument that is available after the class. While I have had only four classes so far with her, I feel like I have learned so much. I would highly recommend taking a class with Catharina, definitely an hour well-spent.

Catharina's teaching style was unique for me: she knows how to teach while keeping the student motivated to improve; she is very structured and technical while still gentle and adapting to the student's learning path and needs. She is the best German teacher I've ever had!

J’aime beaucoup les cours, elle explique très bien. J’ai fait 10 séances et je m’améliore déjà. Elle est aussi très à l’écoute et si je lui demande certains exercices en particulier elle va toujours les préparer pour le prochain cours. 10/10

Ich kann nich beschreiben wie gut Catharina war. Sie bemuht sich so viel werrend und ausser den Unterricht. Damit versteht sie auch wie man effektive Information an ihrer Schulern uebertragen kann - nicht nur mundlich, sondern auch schiftlich oder durch extra Resourcen. Ausserdem ist Sie sehr lieb, sprachlich bewusst, geduldich, und erklaert alles. Mehr alls ich mich je vorstellen koennte - die perfekte Lehrerin :)
