Learn German at your own pace in a safe, nurturing environment. I specialize in helping students overcome language speaking anxiety. Together, we will explore the beauty of the German language in a comfortable space, making every lesson a rewarding speech practice.
I value patience and kindness the most in any situation, especially a learning environment. There is no rush and no need for perfection. Every mistake is a great opportunity.
I was born in a small town near Hamburg and I am living in Spain. I speak Spanish, German and English and I’m always trying to learn new skills, especially languages.
Me as a Teacher
I always prioritize my lessons to be as fun, engaging and comfortable as possible. I strongly believe that everyone can learn languages. There are no bad students, only bad teachers. So it’s my goal to help you reach your desired level stress-free and in a comfortable environment.
My lessons & teaching style
I prefer not to have a fixed method but to adapt to my student's personality and preferences. I do like to keep my lessons in the target language because I strongly believe that’s the only way to really learn a language. Depending on your level we can jump right in with your target language or we may start with building blocks. As we talk I try to detect deficiencies and gently introduce new concepts. Patience is very important: Trying to recall words yourself instead of being given the right words is key in any learning process.
Lessons are 55’ and 25’ long to allow time for administrative tasks between students. If the student doesn't show up within 15 minutes, the lesson is forfeit.

Thank you Fenja for everything that you have done for me, I have learned a lot of new words and phrases and my German is much better. I have also just realized that you have never been nervous or inpatient with me. I am truly grateful for knowing you and having such a great teacher.

Excellent! Super excited to continue with Fenja, the conversation was natural and gently pushed me to think harder without being too overwhelming for me.

I love having lessons with Fenja, because she is good at making conversation. She's just an interesting person. I learn a lot, and she gives the right amount of corrections, so that I still feel good about my speaking ability.
