      Private tutor with over two years of experience I got an A-Level degree in Germany. I started to study linguistics at Leipzig University in Germany. I have great knowledge of German grammar and advanced knowledge of the English language. I also have a great knowledge of different European and non-European grammar which makes it easy for me to ...

      Why choose Matthias H.
      "Matthias understands individual people, language learning, the process of learning/general brain cognition, and has the patience and empathy to match. I learn more from 1 hour of his time than in an entire week of my in-person German course. I've had other tutors previously and most follow either the Goethe curriculum, which you could do yourself, or no structure at all, which can be nice but lacks progress. Matthias is able to quickly find your strengths and weaknesses and has created much of his own resources to help you break through any barriers you have. I'm a terrible language student and he has completely changed my process of learning German so I may actually succeed. Couldn't recommend enough!"
