Choose a suitable time for your free trial lesson. I will send you a diagnostic test in advance so I can prepare for the trial lesson as well as possible.
Trial Lesson
You tell me what language goals you want to achieve with private lessons, and then we do a lesson right away: Here you get an impression of the teaching methodology and I get a comprehensive picture of your language level as a planning basis for the next lessons.
Set Lesson Times
If you decide to take private lessons with me after the trial lesson, we clarify when, how often, and how long per session we will have lessons. Do your work hours vary? No problem. You can also flexibly book lessons from week to week.

Qualifications & Experience

I am Kai - the teacher behind 1zu1Deutsch. I completed my English teacher training in 2016 and my German teacher training in 2018. Since then, I have taught over 10,000 lessons to students of various nationalities at all language levels from A1 to C2 - in private lessons and group courses, online or in the classroom.
My passion lies in adapting my lessons as individually as possible to my students. I particularly enjoy teaching for very specific needs.
What My Students Say
"Kai was my German teacher for an A1 German class that I took in Freiburg in 2018. His method of teaching was very effective. We could learn the grammar, and Kai often had the explanation of why German grammar works the way it does. But we also had the opportunity to practice a lot orally with some fun games that Kai would create. I have to say that he has been the best German teacher that I ever had. He is patient, funny and always in a good mood. You can really tell that teaching is his passion. Thanks again for everything, Kai!"
