Expert German Teacher for Bilingual Children, Teens & Adults – Tailored Lessons for Every Age!

Learning German with Petra has been a wonderful experience. She explains grammar clearly, makes lessons engaging, and always encourages me to speak. Thanks to her guidance, my confidence in speaking German has grown so much, and I can now express myself much more freely. I’m very grateful for her patience, kindness, and expertise.

highly recommend Petra as a German teacher. As an adult learner, I took several lessons with her, and my speaking skills improved significantly. She helped me feel much more confident using German and explained grammar in a way that was clear and easy to understand. Her teaching style is supportive, engaging, and effective.

Raising my child bilingually has been important to me, but I struggled to spark his enthusiasm for speaking or writing in German - until we started working with Petra.
Her warm and motivating teaching style completly changed that. My 5-year-old not only began enjoying speaking German but also learned to read and write remarkably quickly. This transformation is entirely thanks to Petra's encouraging and effective methods. She has a remarkable ability to connect with children, fostering engagement through creativity and playfulness. On top of that, she's an absolutely wonderful person!

Petra has been the German teacher of our 3 bilingual kids for years and we are very lucky/happy to have met her and fully recommend her!

When I told my kids they were having German lessons after school, they almost cried. But once they started classes with Petra everything changed. They even looked forward to each class.

Petra is very professional and knows how to handle kids of different ages. In my case 7, 10 and 12 year olds.

I wanted to improve my German conversation skills - I found Petra extremely welcoming, knowledgeable and patient. Her 15+ years of experience teaching are evident in the methods and confidence she shows during the lessons. Petra is able to understand strength and weaknesses and create tailored lessons for me to continue to improve. She is also very patient and would clearly and carefully explain topics. The lessons were very engaging with multiple activities and 1 hour always flew by! I would 110% recommend Petra to anyone looking for German lessons.

During an extended stay abroad, we looked for ways to improve our eight-year-old daughter’s written German. We are very happy to have discovered Petra! Our daughter has been her student for a year now. Although not the most diligent by nature, she looks forward to the weekly lessons. Our expectations have been exceeded: learning here is fun! The lessons are well-structured and varied, covering entertaining topics with a contemporary focus, while also considering the students' individual interests.

The instruction is excellent—highly professional and challenging. Our daughter is engaged without being overwhelmed. In a positive atmosphere, she is motivated to concentrate and take pride in her work. She now finds reading even difficult words easy, and her reading comprehension has improved significantly. Her spelling has advanced greatly, and she has learned a lot about grammar. Writing short essays has also improved her handwriting. Fun games lighten the lessons and help students express themselves fluently in conversation. We wholeheartedly recommend Petra!

Petra has been a fantastic German tutor for my child. Their lessons are engaging, clear, and fun, making it easy for my child to stay motivated. What really stood out was the extra effort Petra put into recommending books suited to my child’s level and interests. This has been a big help for learning at home.

Thanks to Petra, my child’s confidence and German skills have improved greatly. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a patient, supportive, and dedicated tutor.
