Methodology Student wants to learn or improve German 1) evaluate level of potential student to know where to start from using old official exams 2) mixed approach: using well approved material from top German editorial AND correcting students text in class with a very visual methodology and conversation part with engaging and motivating questions + short videos and questions + listenings audios and questions and reading text +question 3) The mistakes of e.g. writing are used for grammatical explanations and exercises (partly in class, part as homework)to beat the forgetting curve 4) As conversation is often top priority I put a big effort from the beginning into explaining and tirelessly repeating the pronunciation rules. I have access o a pronunciation database explaining for every sound the position of tongue and lip form and mouth opening and voice cord activity. 5) Clear-cut grammar explanation, but as a tool, not as an aim in itself. 6) Hints to interesting podcasts, videos, and easy reading books from level A1 onwards, including Duolingo, which i use myself to learn Italian for 800 days and language exchange possibilities accessible for you References: 2000 hours delivered online in 6 years (since 2016)/more than 1100 reviewed hours The explanation can be given in English, German , Spanish or intermediate Italian, preferring German to to help your learning process.(full immersion) Students need between 50 (extremely fast learner and very young ) and 220 classes to get to B1 (intermediate) level If you like to work more on your own and you are motivated I can support you as well as a language coach.I offer classes for absolute beginners of German as a native. I think a correct pronunciation is key to be understood by natives in Germany. I am a native German. I like to see how my students are getting empowered and can open new doors for personal development. I have alreday teaching experience since 2014 in civic centres in Barcelona and since 2016 i give online classes for German learners in Germany or worldwide. I have a wide reange of didactic materials and books and audiovisual materials like Lyricstraining , learning with music which keeps the motivation of my students high. Preparation for job interviews / typical questions Conversational classes in German Topics: wide range of topics: Environment and and Sustainability Philosophy Technical topics like energy and its saving at home , sustainable production Sustainable mobility (biogas, electrical cars, carsharing, ride sharing, hitchhiking) Recycling and reusing resources Ecodesign Confronting changes and fears Trustful relations Hitchhiking techniques and experiences, safty issues for girls Travel experiences : India, Albania, Montenegro, Italy, Morroc Money creation by banks, social currencies , Time banks Direct exchanges Collaborative economy, Gift economy Cave houses and bioclimatic construction The Commons Permaculture Transition towns Communities y co-housing

Great classes so far!
Rocío Ponce
Stefan es muy simpático y paciente, siempre busca la manera de que entiendas en caso de tener dudas. Al menos en mi caso que ya sabía algo de alemán desde antes, Stefan va dirigido a las cosas en las que me encuentro más débil, por lo que creo que me es más útil. Además siempre tiene material de gramática, lo cual es súper bueno.
Aitor

He will focus a lot on the way you say your words. He is nice and understanding. I feel I have gotten better at German with his lesson. Great teacher.
Cristina D'Introno
I find Stefan a good teacher because, besides being very kind and attentive to each student's need, he is very serious regarding the punctuality in attending the lessons. I immediately found myself at ease with him as a person and professional teacher because when I had the first interview with him he showed genuine interest in what my goals were by asking me questions. In addition, when we exchange messages for communicating something, he cares about correcting my mistakes in German. For whoever wants to improve in German, either in writing or in speaking, I highly recommend this teacher.
Bellisima Mendoza
Stefan communicates very well. He explains examples in a custom way. For example, I speak English and Spanish so when teaching German he tries to use examples in both languages to help me understand the words. He is patient and demonstrates the pronunciation in a way that is easily attainable. I enjoy his class and he challenges me to put in the effort necessary to achieve my goals.

Es un excelente profesor, prepara en forma ordenada cada clase. En cada sesion Stefan evalúa la pronunciacion, corrige y explica muy bien los errores, envia material de estudio y tambien de autoestudio. Como soy principiante , él tiene paciencia. Repite la informacion hasta que es aprendida. Estoy muy contento con su metodologia de aprendizaje. Lo recomiendo al 100%.
