Unterricht Deutsch als Fremdsprache / Deutsch als Zweitsprache – German as a foreign or second language

I have got 29 years of experience of teaching German as a foreign language and I offer privat lessons.

My experience ranges from:

  • children and teenagers from 7 to 18
  • young adults and adults
  • seniors (courses at Vantaan aikuisopisto and Arbis)

The types of institutions where I have taught:

adult education institutions (Wirtschaftsförderungsinstitut in Austria; Vantaan aikuisopisto and Arbis in Helsinki, Goethe-Institut), universitites of applied sciences (Haaga-Helia UAS, the last 18 years) and universities (Technical University of Tallinn, Aalto University)

Groups I have taught:

journalists, company executives, students, private customers, ministers…

My students have been from around the world, from the US to Kasachstan.

I have helped Finnish persons to train for their exam to get the Swiss nationality.

The most common course I have taught is German for beginners. I explain German grammar in English or Finnish, as you like. If needed, only in German. Puhun myös suomea.

Types of courses I have given:

grammar courses, conversation courses, „Learn German with German wines“, excursions to Berlin, „Parlieren und Spazieren“ (walk and talk, during Covid) and „normal“ German courses levels A1-B2

During Covid, I have done a training to teach online (in Finnish: digi-peda) and even before Covid, I have already taught online lessons. I also teach how to use AI as your private teacher (no, I won’t be out of work soon, but you will love it to be able to get more souveranity in your language learning).

Get in touch with me. Whatever you want, one lesson to finally understand the German dative or if you want to train to finally get your Swiss passport. You can also check me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeltsch/
