Online German lessons with a native tutor
One-to-one German lessons delivered online, taught by the same native German tutors who teach our in-person students in London. Lessons follow the same syllabus and method as our in-person tuition, and online students progress through the CEFR levels at the same rate as those learning face to face.
Since KKR made an investment in a German company, I have been taking lessons to better communicate with management and the Board. I started out with in-person lessons, and after relocating to Europe, I’ve been doing online lessons, which work just as well. I feel more comfortable speaking and my listening skills have improved. We also touch on grammar and discuss current affairs, and I pick up new vocabulary each lesson. My routine is doing some form of German each morning before work and then I can message Stefan if I have any questions on what I read or heard. There is still work to do, but I’m really happy with my improvement.

How online German lessons work
Course material, exercises and texts are shared on screen and worked through together, which suits written work and grammar practice well. Corrections happen in real time, and homework is set at the end of each lesson, as in person.
Lessons run for 60 or 90 minutes on Zoom or Microsoft Teams, with the same tutor each time.
Speaking takes up most of the lesson. Your tutor corrects you as needed and keeps a running note of new vocabulary and phrases. You receive the note after the lesson, for revision before the next one.
Before your first lesson, test your level online.
Who online lessons suit
Online lessons give professionals outside London an experienced native German tutor. Learners studying German for a move abroad can continue with the same tutor after relocating.
Lessons also suit those who want to continue with lessons when away.
Corporate teams spread across several offices learn together, with each delegate joining from their own desk.
The same lessons, delivered differently
Our tutors are native German speakers with professional teaching experience. Courses run from complete beginner through to advanced and business German, following the recognised CEFR levels from A1 to C2.
Lessons focus on active use of the language. Speaking and listening form the core of each session, supported by the grammar and vocabulary you need, whether for a business meeting, a citizenship exam, a relocation or personal interest. Progress is reviewed regularly and the plan adjusted as you go.
Self-study between lessons matters as much online as in person. We recommend roughly the same time again on homework and regular exposure to German, which keeps progress on schedule.
Questions about online lessons
Do you teach online, and where can I join from?
Yes. We teach German online at all levels, anywhere in the world, within the same hours as our lessons in London: Monday to Friday from 8 am to 8 pm and at weekends from 9 am to 5 pm, UK time. Online lessons are one to one, with the same tutor throughout.
How long is an online lesson?
Online lessons are 60 or 90 minutes. In our experience, 90 minutes is the length at which adult learners make steady progress without losing concentration.
How much do online lessons cost?
Online lessons cost the same as private lessons: £65 to £90 an hour, depending on the time of day and the length of your commitment.
Which video platform do you use?
We teach on Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
Can I continue online if I move away from London?
Yes. Students who began lessons in London and have since moved, in the UK or abroad, continue online with the same tutor.
