Six weeks.

I'm Vicky, a native German speaker. Join my live evening classes and start speaking from day one. We have six weeks together.

Students

You already have lectures and assignments, maybe a job too. I get it. We look at your timetable together and find room for German without leaving you feeling behind.

Working professionals

You can get home first. I start classes at 7:30pm, and we plan what you can do between them. When work gets busy, you still know what to focus on.

Busy mums

You join me from your living room for ninety minutes, three evenings a week. And if your child is sick or the day gets away from you, those two extra weeks free at the end give you time to catch up.

Anyone with a deadline

Maybe your visa appointment is coming up. Or you have an Ausbildung start date, or an au pair family waiting. Tell me your date. We work backwards from there and plan each week around it.

I plan your week with you, so you know what to do.

You learn by speaking.

Think about how a child learns to talk. They listen, have a go, get a few things wrong and try again. That's how I teach you. You hear German as people really speak it, and you start using it in the first class. Then, when we look at the grammar, you already have something to connect it to. There are only seven seats, so I hear from everyone. You won't spend the class sitting quietly at the back.

Week 1You introduce yourself, say hello and use numbers.
Week 2You talk about your family, your work and your day.
Week 3You ask for what you want to buy, order food and talk about prices.
Week 4You make appointments, tell the time and ask for directions.
Week 5You talk about things that happened and write short messages.
Week 6We practise speaking, writing, listening and reading for your exam.

You join me live on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 7:30 to 9:00pm WAT.
I help you make a learning plan that fits your week.
You get my DeutschWeg ebook to use between classes.
You speak in every class. I make sure of that.
We do mock exams, so you know what to expect.
I help you prepare for Goethe, telc and ÖSD.
We choose the exam that fits your goal, and I help you book the date.
We practise for your visa, FSJ, au pair or Ausbildung interview too.

What my students say.

Emmanuel, 30 · A1

I started learning German and quickly worked out how hard it was going to be. Then I thought about the people who already speak it. If they can master this thing, why can't I.
Then a video came up where she went through “I eat” in all six tenses, one after the other, in under a minute. Nobody had ever laid it out like that. I understood it right there. That was the video that made me message her.

Mariam, 18 · passed Goethe B1 in Lagos, having never taken a B1 class

I had already booked my exam date at the Goethe-Institut in Lagos and I couldn't move it, because everything else was sitting behind that one date. I had never taken a B1 class in my life. My mum went looking for a German teacher and found Vicky.
We did four days of intensive training. She kept checking whether I was actually following instead of just nodding along. She was smiling the whole way through and she made it sound easy, and somewhere in there I stopped panicking. On the last day we sat a full mock exam.
Then I travelled to Lagos and wrote the real one. The strangest part was how familiar it felt. Same shape, same rhythm, different topics. It was like a rehearsal of something I had already done. Without that week I don't know if I would have passed.

[NAME, DETAIL]

I could survive in German. I could not have a conversation in it. Three years in the country and I still froze, because I would start talking before I had worked out what I was going to say, and then the words came out in the wrong order and I would hear myself and give up halfway.
The school I went to here made it worse. Five days a week, a new topic every single day, and nobody stopped to check whether we had understood the last one. If you asked, the teacher told you it was covered at the previous level and you should research it yourself. She spoke properly only to the students from her own country. I sat in that room for months feeling invisible.
What made me finally reach out was a video where she said she could teach you three thousand words in under a minute. My husband was not convinced. He thought I was about to be scammed by somebody claiming to be German. He sat right beside [PASTE THE REST OF THE TEXT HERE]

You have two extra weeks, free.

We plan for six weeks. But honestly, work, family or travel can get in the way. If that happens, you have two more weeks of classes with me at no cost. I want you to have the time to finish properly.

Questions people ask me.

Yes, you can. I start from zero, and most people who join haven't spoken a sentence of German before. In our first class, I help you introduce yourself, and you say it out loud before we're done. You don't need to know anything beforehand.
Yes, at A1 level. By week six, you can introduce yourself, talk about your family and work, go shopping, make appointments and write short messages. You practise with me in every class, starting on day one. So by the end, speaking German feels familiar.
I teach on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 7:30 to 9:00pm WAT, so you can finish work first. Before we start, you and I plan your week together. And if a late shift, a sick child or a power cut gets in the way, you have two extra weeks free at the end to catch up.
Yes. In week six, we focus fully on your exam: speaking, writing, listening and reading, including mock exams. You and I work out whether Goethe, telc or ÖSD fits your goal, and I help you book your exam date. If you have a visa, FSJ, au pair or Ausbildung interview coming up, we practise for that too.
You can carry on straight to A2 and B1 with me. And if you're planning to move to Germany, I can guide you through FSJ, au pair, Ausbildung or university applications too. You can ask me for help along the way.

Let me show you Germany.

About Vicky.

Honestly, I know how frustrating it is to spend months on an app and still freeze when someone speaks German to you. You probably have something bigger waiting on this: a visa, an Ausbildung place or an au pair family. And when the German takes longer, that plan has to wait too.

German is my first language. When you join my class, you speak from day one, and I check that you understand before we move on. After the course, I'm still here to help with your exam, your interview and your plans for Germany.

I have seven seats in this group. I'd love to have you in one of them. Bis bald!
