My name is NICOLAS JACOBI and I am the founder of JacobiTeacher. To me, a language is a tool for social interaction, however, German is a very rule-based language that often seems to limit the opportunity for free social interaction.

 But don't worry, you can learn how to focus on the social aspects of the language and it will make speaking the language much easier.

 

There are many different reasons for learning German, and speaking German is one of them. Other people learn German to read it, write it, sing it, or maybe just to pass a test. I can organize your learning process, support you in focusing on your individual goals, and push you forward.  

We can create an individual and personal approach that includes your favorite topics and, especially fits into your schedule. I have studied at the University of Cologne under Professor Kersten Reich and he has shaped my teacher personality with the philosophies of John Dewey and constructivist teaching methods. Other influencers were Vera Birkenbihl, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Ayn Rand, Bernd Feuerherm, and Dr. Jürgen Zepp.

​

During class I often switch between different teaching styles, mostly coach style, activity style, and blended style. I personally enjoy Hybrid teaching the most, but will adapt my methods to the individual needs and interests of each student.

​

I teach children aged 7+, teenagers, and adults of all ages.

I’m Julia, a certified German language teacher with Bachelor's degree in German Studies and Pedagogics and a genuinely happy person because I’m living my dream life, though the path to get here was quite long.

My dedication was rewarded when I won the DAAD Scholarship twice, allowing me to study at Saarland University in Germany. Living and learning in Germany was an incredible opportunity to fully immerse myself in the language and culture.

 

While I was abroad, I reached a high level of fluency and passed the Goethe C2 (native level) exam in Washington D.C. all on my own.

With over 5 years of teaching experience, I’ve become skilled at creating personalized lesson plans and worksheets that fit each student’s needs. I specialize in teaching beginner to intermediate levels (A1-B2), conversational German practice, and exam preparation for the Goethe Zertifikat, TestDaF, and TELC certifications. My students love my lessons because I inspire them to grow and learn by setting a positive example. My students often tell me that my smile is contagious, and they enjoy our lessons because they are always engaging, humorous, and informative. As a professional German teacher, I guide my students with dedication and expertise.

 

Whether you prefer in-person lessons in New York City or online classes, I'll make sure you get a rich cultural experience along with top-notch language instruction. My unique teaching method is designed to help you start "thinking in German" from day one.

​

I teach adults of all ages.
