Aspiring fluency in German?

German Course

Willkommen!
Welcome dear!

Whether you are just starting to learn German or looking to sharpen your skills, you've landed in the perfect place.

With me, whether online or in-person, learning German is fun and the lesson content is tailored to your needs! I guide students from A1 through C2.

However due to experience, I recommend beginners to sign up for a small group course, because this has proven way faster and more efficient learning than individual lessons.

Learning a new language is not always easy, therefore don't just think of me as your new German teacher, but also as your cheerleader (Yes, that's me!) celebrating every breakthrough along the way.

B2 - C1 - C2 Learners

I am particularly specialised in helping advanced learners (B2, C1, C2) refine their proficiency. At this level, individual lessons are of greater advantage and essential to give full attention to the nuanced details that make all the difference—whether that is expanding your vocabulary, diving into advanced grammar, or sharpening your pronunciation.

Writing Courses

Beyond traditional lessons, I also offer writing courses. They are either designed to help students professionalise their German, overcome fears of any sort, or achieve that polished, native-like precision in German writing. Some of my former students have found a new voice of their own thanks to guided writing.
Most of all, joy and personal expression reigns this class.

Student Testimonials

Student Testimonials

  • Samantha is a fantastic teacher and I am having lots of fun on the course. She is very engaged, makes sure I don't get left behind as the only online participant, and takes time to answer all the questions and correct homework submissions so I can get better at writing. She puts a lot of emphasis on us talking and encourages us to enrich our language and try things out; I feel a lot more comfortable speaking German already!

    Nika, Poland

  • Samantha’s teaching is systematic which suits me as an adult learner. What I appreciated most was the aesthetic side of her German speaking, be it glass clear pronunciation or tonal sensitivity which makes listening to her a joy.

    Klara, Singapore

  • Meine Lehrerin war sehr geduldig und hat mir Adaptierungen gegeben, wenn ich brauchte. Sie war immer flexibel, wenn wir etwas anderes oder bestimmtes lernen wollten.

    Ana, US

  • Samantha‘s approach to teaching German is very focused and as a result most productive. I felt my learning the language was accelerated because she knew exactly where to focus the emphasis. Her classes covered a wide range of basic information and at the end I felt able to hold a conversation with confidence and to write better correspondence in German. Can highly recommend one of her classes.

    Chris, US

  • I’m sure you know that feeling of being afraid to approach someone and ask them something in German. I can confidently say that after lessons with Samantha, speaking to people in German turns from a struggle into pure joy! With Samantha’s help, I prepared for and passed the B2 exam with a "sehr gut," but that’s not the most important part. What truly matters is that the world around me has been filled with color and the happiness of communicating in German.

    Ilya, Russia

  • Es war eine sehr schöne Zeit. Ich habe viel von Ihnen gelernt. Sie haben Respekt und die volle Geduld, um jemand anderen zu verstehen. Sie geben den anderen nicht auf.
