BECOME CONVERSATIONAL WITHIN A FEW LESSONS!
I have a wide range of teaching experience, from tribal schools in Thailand and Nepal to elementary schools, kindergarten and an adult language academy in Korea. I like teaching languages, because it always means cultural exchange.
Learning languages should be fun and every lesson is tailor-made according to the needs of the student.
I teach German in an integrated way, grammar, conversation, reading and writing.
I will give you homework and motivate you to learn as well at home.
My motto: There is no inapt student, only teachers who do not know how to teach the individual student effectively!My lessons & teaching style

Integrated learning method!
I have a wide range of materials, textbooks, PDF files, children's books, teenager literature, newspaper articles, games and videos for different age groups. I adjust my teaching method to my students. Students have different expectations and I try to find them out. I ask my students for feedback and let them chose the material; try to have a balanced class, grammar, conversation, quiz, games and free talking, reading and writing.
As I have learnt several languages (Russian, English, Latin, Korean, Hindi), I know about difficulties and pitfalls of learning a language.My teaching material

Another great lesson as always. Today we discussed a video that talked about ancient wisdom and its place in today's society. Through this discussion, I was able to practice and refine specific grammatical points and learn vocabulary and expressions one would not normally encounter in a textbook or other learning situations.

My kids are longterm students of Lehrer Alex by now as the lessons help building up their German language skills while living abroad. While they always understood German, they struggled to use German in a conversation. With Lehrer Alex help this improved significantly thanks to the engaging teaching method and interesting learning material.
