Virtual Classrooms Overview

This page gives you a quick overview of how my German virtual classroom works. It is a live group course — a real classroom, just online. One teacher (me) and a small group of students, meeting in real time.

If you are looking for one-on-one lessons instead, you can find all the details on my private tutoring page.

Two Course Formats

I offer my virtual classroom in two rhythms, so you can choose what fits your schedule best:

• Berlin 🐻 — relaxed pace, once a week, 90 minutes each. Named after the Berliner “lass mal” attitude.
• Munich 🥨 — more intensive, twice a week, 90 minutes each. Named after the Münchner “pack ma’s” mentality.

Both courses cover the same material — just at different speeds.

You can also try the pay-as-you-go option, where you pay per single lesson and know the topic in advance. No commitment, just drop in when it works for you.

For the full lesson plan and the topics I cover in each session, have a look at the course syllabus page.

Schedule & Practical Details

The course is currently at A1 level (beginners).

• Duration per lesson: 90 minutes
• Start time: 10:00 am, Central European Summer Time (UTC+2)
• Total hours to complete the level: 40 hours
• Platform: Microsoft Teams (no extra software needed — works in your browser)

The schedule is fixed for group courses, so you know well in advance when each lesson takes place.

If you are a complete beginner and would like a more structured introduction to German before joining a group, check out the A1 group course page for a step-by-step curriculum.
