Study German with Steffie

Welcome to Study German Online!

I’m Steffie, the person behind this website. I teach German online, and I also write the blog here.

Are you looking for an excellent online German teacher? You’ve found the right place! I’m certified by the Goethe Institut, and I teach German to adults at all levels, from total beginners to advanced (A1-C2 on the CEFR/GeR scale).

I’ve been teaching for over ten years in different schools and online for more than seven years. I love teaching German, not just the grammar but also showing how beautiful this language is.

I speak more than just German – I’m fluent in English and Hebrew, speak upper intermediate Dutch, and know a bit of French. All these languages, besides German, I learned as foreign languages. This experience helps me understand what it’s like to learn new languages and the challenges that come with it.

I make sure my classes meet what each student needs. Whether you want to improve grammar, pronunciation, or spelling, I tailor my classes for you. It’s important that you can use what you learn in real life, not just in the classroom.

I am looking forward to helping you on your journey towards mastering German!

Study German with Andrea

Hello! I'm Andrea, a German native currently residing in the UK. I joined Study German Online as an online teacher, specializing in teaching beginner adult learners at the A1 level.

I hold a Diplom-Dolmetscher degree in Interpreting and Translation for English and Russian from the University of Leipzig. My language proficiency extends to fluency in both German and English, complemented by Russian skills. Drawing from over a decade of diverse translation experience, including freelance work and roles with an embassy and a prominent language service provider, I possess a deep understanding of linguistic nuances.

For the past two years, I've passionately dedicated myself to online German teaching, leveraging my expertise to simplify complex grammar and facilitate practical language application in real-life contexts.

My classes are designed for adult beginners, such as expats, their partners or family members, travelers to Germany, and those learning for personal interest. We'll discuss your goals and needs to ensure the classes are perfectly tailored for you. My teaching approach is structured yet relaxed, covering all aspects of language learning: conversational skills, vocabulary expansion, and step-by-step grammar lessons. The classes also include homework to reinforce your learning, and I make notes of new vocabulary and grammar during the classes.

I'm excited to start this language-learning journey with you!
