Theo Spaeth

I have had several lessons now with Theo. I give him a 5-star rating as a community tutor because: (1) he smiles a lot!; (2) he allows the student to speak, but gently interrupts to correct mistakes; and (3) he writes down corrections and suggestions that I can review later (my last 45 min lessons included 25 notes made by Theo).

Theo is one of a kind. Even after not being consistent with German and taking a long break he makes you feel comfortable to get back to learning and he creates a very inviting and welcoming atmosphere.

An awesome teacher with lots of patience and knowledge! Can carry interesting conversations and helps correct sentences and words. Would recommend him above everyone else! Thank you 😊

Ich habe in den letzten zwei Monaten Online-Unterricht bei Theo. Er ist sehr energisch, kreativ und sehr hilfreich bei der Beseitigung von Zweifeln. Ich finde seinen Unterricht sehr nützlich bei der Vorbereitung auf meine Deutschprüfungen.

Now after about 10 lessons I can say that the conversation with Theo never lags. He writes corrections as I make mistakes rather than to interrupt, which has the double benefit of helping me build confidence when speaking but also allowing me to speak more correctly next time. Looking forward to more conversations!

Theo is a great teacher! He is very knowledgeable and encouraging. Highly recommend!
