About Me

Interest topicTechScienceReading
Hey, I am Linus, 28 years old and I love languages. I was born in Berlin and thus my native language is German. I also speak English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Esperanto.
Over the past 8 years, I've invested a lot of time into learning languages and met many magnificent people on the way, who I taught and who taught me. Especially over the last few years I've developed many different methods with my students and changed my teaching style quite a bit as a result of trying out new things and adapting to the ideas and suggestions of my students.
Me as a Teacher
After trying out a great deal of methods and approaches as far as language learning, I started teaching on italki 5 years ago to pass on what I've learned through a lot of experimenting and language immersion.
I have now lived in many different countries and each time immersed myself in the language and while this is a good approach, it is not enough on its own and its not a possibility for everyone. However, speaking to native people using video calls is possible for anyone. That's why I am happy to teach my native language on italki and pass on my knowledge.
My lessons & teaching style
Lessons will be customized individually. Depending on the students preferences, we will practice writing, reading, speaking, comprehension, grammar and much more. Most importantly, lessons will be fun while at the same time challenging. I am open to suggestions and wishes from students but can provide step by step instructions and lessons for students who need more guidance.

Linus was very thorough and a pleasure to have a lesson with. He also provided helpful documents that you can refer back to after the lesson which I find very useful. It was a great first meeting and I look forward to the coming lessons!

Very interesting lesson, I like that Linus can adjust to student's needs. Notes after lessons are very structured and easy to use.
Thank you Linus and see you soon!

Excellent way to practice german conversation. Linus writes down the sentences you say and we review them afterwards to see what could be improved, in terms of structure, grammar or vocabulary.
The downside of this approach is that it can slow the session down a bit. I think splitting the session in two parts - pure conversation, and conversation with note taking - would be perfect.

It was a great first class. I really liked the approach of using a mutually editable Google Drive document for each student and creating a live notebook. :)
