I’m a trained tutor for German as a foreign language (Magister DaF, TU Berlin, 2009). Since 1999, I’ve taught German to thousands of people — first in language schools across Poland, Turkey, and Germany, and since 2013 on my own as SmarterGerman.

As a learner myself, I've taken 20+ courses in 15 languages, so I know first-hand what truly helps and what gets in the way. My focus has always been my students: their struggles, their joys, and the way language opens doors to real understanding.

Even though I will not teach you in person, you'll feel that I'm with you all the way. If you are sincere about learning German, I'm sincere about supporting you until you reach your goal.
