Personal Description:
A few years ago, we moved from Germany to Australia, and since then, I have been teaching German to kids, HSC, VCE, IB as well as university students, and adults, with or without any knowledge of the language; for fun, for school or for business purpose.
Book your German lessons and have fun with me learning this great language!
I am a native speaker with extensive experience teaching small and large groups and one-on-one with kids and adults. My lessons are customised to suit your purpose whether it be for academic requirements or just for fun. I look forward to letting everybody know how great the German language is!
Tuition Experience:
Having a degree in Business Economics I used to work at the University of Siegen as a lecturer, supervisor, research fellow, and proofreader, and I also taught students how to write term papers and diploma theses, how to present their essays, and to give speeches in front of an audience.
In Australia, I have extensive experience with teaching small groups, kids' as well as adults' classes, with individual teaching of adults as well as children.
Tutoring Approach:
You want to pass your IB, HSC, VCE, Uni or A1-C2 exam?
You have a German background and want your children to learn reading and writing in German?
You want to travel to Germany, Austria or Switzerland or even to work there?
You want to learn one of the most popular European languages?
You want to learn more about the German culture and mentality?
Then I am the person you need to contact :)

NadiaFrom Jaquita (5/5): My daughter is very fussy about tutors and she clicked with Nadia immediately. She is very helpful, patient and focuses on what you need to improve than a rigid teaching plan.
Reply from: Nadia: Thank you, Jaquita.

From Derek (/5): Nadia was exceptionally helpful in providing short-notice tuition in conversational German before my son's HSC exam. Her communication was excellent, in both arranging and delivering the tuition. She demonstrates a deep understanding of the grammar and syntax of the language and was able to teach this in an easily understandable way. Thank you Nadia, I look forward to arranging ongoing tuition for my other kids.
Reply from: Nadia: Thank you for your kind feedback, Derek.
I really enjoyed working with your son as he was very motivated, engaged, and really keen to follow my advice and improve his German. I look forward to also supporting his siblings on their journey of the German language.

From Guylaine (/5): Excellent tutor, very organized, knowledgeable, and professional. My daughter is currently in the IB program and Nadia has been a great help and she is very enjoying her lessons with Nadia.
From Luke (/5): Nadia is an excellent German teacher. She is very patient and understanding, and provides her students with plenty of time and space to practice articulating themselves. Nadia has an extraordinary grasp of the rules which govern the grammar of the German language and is able to explain these in a way which makes sense to the student. She's not one to shirk from a laugh or an interesting conversation, which definitely adds great value to all her lessons.
Reply from: Nadia: Thank you very much, Luke! I enjoy our sessions too and also learn some Swiss German words from you :)
Having fun when learning German is essential indeed, as I believe that only then comprehending rather complicated grammar rules and sentence structures can bring joy, and the students feel motivated and inspired.
Viel Glück und noch viel Spaß!

From Rehana (/5): Nadia is a tutor who is genuinely committed to student learning. My daughter enjoys her lessons with Nadia, who helps her prepare for German (VCE). As a tutor, she is open, attentive and responsive to student needs. We have no regrets engaging Nadia to teach our daughter.
From Tina (/5): Nadia is a wonderful teacher and we look forward to keep taking lessons with her for our kids. She helped us create a great routine whilst in quarantine in Perth, very flexible and just a wonderful teacher. Thank you very much again Nadia! Lg tina
From Emilie (/5): I've studied german on and off over the years however had become lazy in my grammar, and I desired the ability to confidently read a german text or watch a movie with greater comprehension. Nadia is able to meet me where I am and set a course to suit my needs. She keeps it fun, works at my pace, and when I'm stuck on something she is able to expertly explain another way of understanding. I have two sisters who are also thinking about joining with Nadia soon because they can already see the changes!
Reply from: Nadia: Dankeschön, Emilie!
I really enjoy our lessons and also to see your progress and the 'aha' moments you have :))) Keep asking me questions and all kinds of WHYs and WHENs and WHATs

From Donna (/5): Nadia was very prompt to get in touch, she is extremely organised and understands my daughter's curriculum and what she needs to improve. I would highly recommend Nadia.
From Kalai (/5): Highly approachable ! My son enjoys her teaching .Definitely Akhilan has improved since he started the tutoring
From Mark (/5): Ausgezeichnet!. Just the right mix of structure, targeted exercises and conversation to build confidence, grammatical understanding and feel for the language at my level. Nadia is patient, knowledgeable, interested in language and speaks German in a way the rank beginner like myself can (mostly) understand. She is really good at making sure each lesson delivers the right mix of challenge, instruction and fun that encourages the student that constant progress is being made (no matter how many grammatical and syntactical errors are made each session). Vielen Dank Nadia.
Reply from: Nadia: Vielen lieben Dank, Mark!
Our lessons are always a pleasure for me - to challenge you and to see your progress is both so satisfying and fun for me :)
Thank you and I look forward to teaching you every week :)

From Aaron (/5): As a adult learner, I was looking to gain a much better grasp on my German studies. Nadia is an excellent tutor, who invest so much effort in ensuring lessons are planned and a good learning experience is achieved. Nadia plans the lessons individually tailored to whatever needs you may have and for all levels. Overall I find Nadia to be a pleasant individual with her lessons being fun, interactive and highly engaging, I highly recommend Nadia as a Tutor!
Reply from: Nadia: Thank you very much for your feedback, Aaron :) Our lessons are always fun for me and I enjoy supporting you and seeing your progress. Gute Arbeit!

From Ines (/5): Nadia has been teaching my three children for a term now and all three of my kids are very much enjoying their time with her. Nadia puts a lot of effort into providing fun and interactive lessons. I would be happy to recommend Nadia to anyone looking for a German tutor for their children or as an adult alike.
Reply from: Nadia: Thank you very much, Ines :-)
Your kids are pleasure to teach, they are really motivated and smart, and I’m sure they will be reading and writing in their mum’s native language in no time!

From Tracey (/5): Nadia is an amazing tutor! I would highly recommend her to anyone who would like to learn German. Nadia is professional, organised, enthusiastic and has an extensive knowledge of both the English and German languages. She is always punctual and prepared for every lesson.
Above all - Nadia is very kind, understanding and patient. Before starting my lessons with Nadia, I found German to be quite overwhelming and difficult to learn. I am a first year student at Macquarie University and before now, have never studied German. Nadia has understood this and has made sure that the content I cover is broken down into easily understood terms. Because of Nadia, I feel more confident in my studies and find learning German very enjoyable.

Reply from: Nadia: Thank you very much Rani. It's pleasure for me teaching your son and I'm sure he will have great results at his IB exams.
From Debbie (/5): Nadia immediately put me at ease with a phone call before our first session so we had already spoken before the day. Our first session was great and I didn't feel self conscious as she is such a great teacher and we had fun with the subjects. I am looking forward to many more sessions with her.
From Emily (/5): I am so lucky I found Nadia on the First Tutor’s site, after an **E-mail Address Removed**search for German Tutors catering to students at a Tertiary level. Nadia is an amazing tutor. She is punctual, enthusiastic, always prepared and truly a font of knowledge. It was time to find a new perspective on how to tackle the topics I struggled with most, and Nadia delivered. She excels at breaking complex concepts down to their bare fundamentals and providing examples that are easily understood. I was provided with plenty of content and worksheets that complemented my sessions, so that I could practice in my own time. Apart from one-on-one tutoring, I organised a group study session with Nadia and a few of my classmates in preparation for our exam. She reviewed our past exam papers, and prepared activities and materials that would best help us prepare. We had never left a German exam feeling so confident in our performance, and that was thanks to Nadia. After 2 months under Nadia’s tutelage, my marks showed a significant and rapid improvement. I would highly recommend Nadia to students of German at any level.
