Hallo! Ich heiße Ruth, komme ursprünglich aus Wien, aber lebe schon länger in Berlin. Mit Sprache zu arbeiten, ist meine Leidenschaft - ich unterrichte seit 2018 als ausgebildete Lehrerin Deutsch als Fremdsprache, sowohl in Gruppen- als auch Einzelunterricht und bin auch in der Filmbranche als Drehbuchautorin tätig. Hi! My name is Ruth, I'm originally from Austria, but I have been living in Berlin now for quite a while. I love to work with language - since 2018 I have been teaching German as a foreign language and have experience working with groups and individual students. Further to this, I also work as a professional screenplay writer.

Ruth was exceptional! I absolutely LOVED talking with her! She's a breath of fresh air and I felt like I was talking to a friend. Ruth is down to earth and so kind; she's enthusiastic, and she gets excited about the things you're excited about. She has a way of making you feel confident in the skills you bring to the table, while also supporting you with gentle corrections. I can't wait for our next lesson! If you're looking for an introduction to German or to get reacquainted with the language, I highly recommend booking a lesson with Ruth - you won't be disappointed!

Another excellent lesson, in which Ruth encouraged me to talk and listen in German. She shared a couple of video clips and we talked about these. She gently corrects my grammar and explains the meanings of new words now in German, which helps me understand. We resort to English less and less. I use various resources to help me learn German and Ruth's lessons are an enjoyable and productive way to help bring it all together.

Another excellent conversational lesson. Never thought I would be discussing modern slavery in a German Lesson. Lots of new words to learn. Ruth's lessons are never, ever dull!

She creates an atmosphere of ease throughout the learning session. My vocabulary has improved tenfold without any associated anxiety in learning. In other words, she makes it fun to learn, and has given me the tools to have meaningful conversations in German; that's a great gift to share.
