About the tutor:

My name is Hannah Goerges, and I have a Bachelor of Primary Education as well as a Bachelor of International Studies, with Germany as my major focus country. I have lived and studied in Germany, immersing myself in the language and culture, and have completed a teaching languages subject as part of my degree.

As both a teacher and a language enthusiast, I am passionate about making German engaging and accessible for beginners. My lessons focus on practical communication, helping students build confidence in speaking, listening, and understanding everyday German. While grammar plays a role, the emphasis is on interactive and enjoyable learning experiences, including real-life scenarios and cultural insights.

Whether you’re learning for travel, personal interest, or simply to challenge yourself with a new language, I look forward to helping you on your German learning journey!
