Your advantages in one-to-one German lessons
Only your pace
No group course slows you down and nobody waits for you. We work at the pace that suits you. That way you often progress faster than you think.
No rigid textbook
I create most of the material myself and tailor it to you. Instead of working through book pages, we practise the topics you really lack in daily life or at work.
Flexible and online
All you need is a laptop or tablet, a camera and internet. Lessons run via Zoom, whether you are in Freiburg, Berlin or abroad.
Focus on speaking
After every lesson you receive notes in flashcard format. So you do not have to take notes and can concentrate fully on speaking German fluently.
Does this sound familiar?
Group course too slow
In large courses everything follows the average. Your own questions and gaps often fall by the wayside.
Understanding, not speaking
You understand a lot, but the words fail you in conversation. This is exactly where targeted speaking training comes in.
Specialist German missing
For work, an exam or your practice you need more than everyday German. You will not learn specialist language in any standard course.
Who the lessons are right for
For medical professionals who need medical German and want to prepare for the specialist language exam.
What you take away
Confident in conversation
You speak more freely and dare to use German in real situations. We also work specifically on your pronunciation until the intonation is right and the difficult sounds are in place.
Ready for the exam
Whether FSP or a language certificate such as Goethe, telc or TestDaF, you go into exam day with a clear plan.
German for real life
You use German where it counts: at work, in your practice and in everyday life. No artificial textbook German, but authentic language you can apply straight away.

About me
Your private teacher for one-to-one German lessons
I am Kai, the teacher behind 1zu1Deutsch. I completed my training as an English teacher in 2016 and as a German teacher in 2018. Since then I have taught over 10,000 lessons, with students from all over the world and at all levels from A1 to C2, online as well as in the classroom.
My passion is adapting the lessons to you as precisely as possible. What I enjoy most is teaching for very specific needs, such as medical German for international doctors or business German for work. That is exactly what individual German tuition with me is made for.
