Testimonials:
“I’ve been learning with Nina for almost a year now and I can say that it’s definitely money well spent. The one-on-one instruction really helped me since she worked at my learning pace, so I didn’t feel like the lesson was going too slow or too fast. The learning materials provided are also all very helpful. Nina is very easygoing and knowledgeable. As well as the usual grammar and vocabulary lessons, she also includes some neat information about Germany or German historical figures or traditions. I always look forward to her classes and I know that I have received invaluable practice that I would never have gotten from random free language apps. It’s worth it!”

“Nina Schmidt is an excellent language instructor who is professional and well prepared for each lesson. My German has improved with her help and she has been able to tailor instruction for me based on my individual needs. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to improve their German language skills.”

For the convenience of both student and teacher, I offer lessons online with Skype.
Most of my clients have weekly or twice weekly lessons at a set time to ensure consistent results. However, if you cannot commit to a set time, you can also book in based on mutual availability. After the initial lesson, you will gain access to my online booking system to schedule yourself in as you wish.
I function as a language trainer for my clients. I use my many years of experience both learning and teaching languages to create an environment in which you can succeed. I have a deep understanding of linguistics, grammar and history allowing me to answer almost any language question you may have! Above all, I keep my lessons conversation focused, engaging and fun.
For beginner Spanish and German students I have written my own combination workbook/textbook. At the intermediate and advanced levels I use other textbooks.
As my curriculum and training is more adult focused I currently offer lessons to those aged 14 and older, or grade 9 and up.
