About Me
My name is Isabel. I am a native German speaker with a Master degree in Adult Education from the University of Hamburg (Germany) and a Master degree in Language and Literacy Studies from the 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 (beginner to advanced learners).
Why learn with me?
I have a passion for teaching German and have over 14 years of experience teaching languages. After studying and working in several countries I have decided to return to my hometown Ulm, Germany and focus on building my own online teaching business. Currently I teach German as a foreign language to levels A2 to C1. 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.
My teaching approach is customized to the individual needs, goals, and preferences of each student. I offer a wide range of topics and materials, ensuring that the lessons are engaging and effective. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, I can help you improve your grammar, pronunciation, fluency, and vocabulary. You can book a free 25-minute trial lesson with me to see if it's the right fit for you!

Isabel is not only a great teacher but also a nice companion! It always helps me to speed up my German a little during our conversations. Isabel seeks to listen to students' recommendations and ready to tailor the lesson according to needs. I like that Isabel mixes various books. I do love our classes! Highly recommend for teaching methods and friendly atmosphere!
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 7 months 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 notice she has experience doing this). In addition, she is a super nice person and she makes the lessons enjoyable. I totally recommend her!!
