Learn German in a Virtual Classroom Online

Learning German in a group is fun. And it’s also the most affordable way to do it.

My virtual classroom is exactly what it sounds like: a small group of students (max 6 people) meeting online with me in real time. We see each other, we talk, we learn together. It’s not a pre-recorded video course — it’s live, interactive, and you’re part of it.

I’ve been doing this long enough to know how to keep a class engaged. Even through a screen. And if you ever zone out (it happens!), don’t worry — I can record the session so you can watch it later.

Each group has up to 6 people. That means you get plenty of chances to speak. You’re not lost in a crowd of 20. You’re part of a small team, all learning at a similar pace.

Not sure which level you are at? My guide to German language levels explains the CEFR system and helps you find where to start.

What is a virtual classroom?

Think of it as a regular classroom, but online. Students and a teacher meet in a virtual space using video software. That’s it.

The key difference from a typical large language school: my groups are capped at 6 participants. I keep it small on purpose. It means I can actually pay attention to each person, correct your pronunciation, answer your questions — without anyone getting left behind.

If you want something even more focused, I also offer 1:1 lessons and pair classes (just two students). But the group format is the best balance of quality and value.

A bit about me 👩‍🏫

I graduated in Linguistics from LMU Munich in 2012. Since then I’ve been teaching languages — over 15 years now. Students from all over the world 🌏, all ages, all levels. You can read more about my background on my about page.

I started my online teaching service because I saw how effective it could be. The techniques and strategies I use are designed specifically for learning German remotely. They work.

The courses

Here’s how I categorize them.

1. By frequency:

• Soft. Once or twice a week. Steady pace, solid foundations. Best if you don’t have a deadline.
• Intensive. Daily, two hours. Fast progress for when you need German quickly.
• Semi-intensive. Two lessons twice a week — a middle ground.

2. By learner type:

• Children 🧒. Fun, playful, age-appropriate. Max 45 minutes per session — kids lose focus fast.
• Companies. Custom courses for employees who need German at work. Many companies sponsor this for their staff.
• Nurses and Doctors. Germany has a big shortage of healthcare workers. There are specific exams for this field, and I prepare students for them.

3. By goal:

• Holidays 🏖️. A crash course before your trip. Learn enough to get by, order food, ask directions — and impress your travel buddies.
• Exam prep 📋. Goethe, testDAF, telc, DSH. I know these exams inside out. We focus on what’s tested and get you ready fast.
• Conversation 💬. For when you already know grammar but freeze up when you need to speak. We fix that by actually talking.

No matter what you need, there’s a course for you.

On speaking German

Let’s be honest. The main reason you’re taking a German course is probably to speak the language. To hold a conversation. To be understood.

And yes, that can feel like a long road. But I don’t believe in setting goals that are out of reach. We start with where you are, assess your level, and take it step by step.

Sometimes the goal is simple: “I want to reach A1.” That’s a good goal. It’s clear, it’s measurable, and I know exactly how to get you there.

If you don’t know your level yet — no problem. I’ll guide you.
