My name is Debi and I’m from Germany. I am an A1 to C2 level German teacher and have 5 years of teaching experience.

Furthermore, I offered German language courses to adults of various educational and professional backgrounds and helped them to achieve their desired learning goals. Many of my students started as beginners and were able to reach C1 level in less than 12 months.

I help you SPEAK Spanish. Are you learning a language just to accumulate random knowledge or to communicate, experience the culture and the people, and travel? I am pretty sure the latter is true, right?
In our lessons, you will communicate, eliminate mental blocks, and learn vocabulary and grammar that you will actually use. After each class, you will be able to apply in your conversations what you have just learned.
My lessons are fully personalized to your goals, needs, and interests. Every student is different and so are their goals, interests, and way of learning. In order to make the most of the sessions and help you to develop fluent Spanish skills, I customize my lessons and materials to every one of my students.
I am a grammar freak and that would make me a terribly boring teacher if I didn't also loooove to chat about everything possible. So I find it quite easy to find a good balance between theory and praxis.
I love people, that is why I am a teacher: I will love to know more about you, about your interests and your culture, as well as sharing mine with you.
I am also known among my students to make the best recommendations about series, films, books, and events to keep improving your Spanish in a fun and relaxed way.
A little more serious info: I am an Online Spanish Teacher with more than 10 years of experience teaching privately, in High Schools, Language Schools, and online. I am also a certified DELE Examiner.
I am a language learner too: I speak German, English, a little bit of French and I am currently learning Japanese. Thanks to this experience, I understand perfectly the difficulties and needs of my students and I adapt to them so that you can make the most of each lesson.
And the important stuff: I live in Austria, have two dogs and a toddler; I love reading, traveling and cooking; I am a Hufflepuff; I try to keep my beautiful plants alive; I collect stationery stuff; I love learning new things and when I start a series I love, I have a huge urge to finish it as quickly as possible.

I’m a Finnish language trainer in Helsinki, and I offer one-to-one lessons for people learning either language. I have four years’ experience teaching adults from all around the world with various backgrounds and vastly different levels, skills and individual difficulties.
Companies I have worked for and with include:
- Cartus
- EF Hult
- Kieliavain
- Nordea
- Metso
- Vaisala
- Stora Enso
My qualifications include:
-- MA in Scandinavian Languages from the University of Helsinki
-- BA in Finnish and European Studies with Swedish from University College London
-- Finnish National Certificate of Language Proficiency (YKI) in Finnish and Swedish
My approach is both academic and practical. Having studied both languages independently as well as at university level, I am intensely aware of the difficulties learners have. I clarify things in simple terms that the student can understand. I explain how things work and why to ensure the learner understands exactly what’s going on and can use it confidently. I give ample opportunity to practice it actively and passively in tailored lessons with games, music, videos, writing exercises, grammar drills and conversation.
I provide most learning material electronically from my expansive library, but also purchase physical copies of textbooks for students when possible and necessary.

I used to teach elementary school children through non formal education methods: games in particular. Also by sharing experience through story telling.
I also have experience in teaching highschool students and youngsters. The methods are both non formal and formal education methods. When I teach in formal way, I use interactive tasks since most of the students like to acquire communication skills.
I adapt myself to a student's needs and let them suggest me what would they like to work on.
