German language coaching for expats and internationals

Learn German in one-to-one. Online, or in Düsseldorf. With a learning program tailored to your personal goals and wishes. At your individual pace and according to a flexible schedule that best suits your life situation.

Confident in German, in private and business life

Does this sound familiar?

🏠 You already live as an expat, or international in Germany or you are planning to move to a German city.

💬 You would like to be able to converse fluently in German. With your colleagues and clients, with your neighbors and with the teachers of your kids.

🇩🇪 For that, you intend to improve your language skills. But you are sceptical about a standard group course can suit your needs.

🌟 You want to have fun while learning and make good progress quickly.

What if ...

... you had a private language trainer at your side, who responded exactly to your requirements and supported you effectively in learning German?

... your language training was exactly tailored to the topics that acutally play a vital role in your life?

... you wouldn't have to follow a set schedule, but could plan your lessons to fit individually to your routine?

... you would soon be able to converse confidently in German in any private or professional situation?

Good news – by my German language coaching all this will be possible!

"Before I started learning German with Natalie, I had limited vocabulary, very little confidence and hesitant to respond. Natalie has been a fantastic mentor in learning to speak and understand everyday life in Germany. I am much more comfortable with my daily life in Düsseldorf, now.“

Business German

Ein SprachCoaching Deutsch für Fach- und Führungskräfte. – Als Diplom-Kauffrau mit langjähriger Erfahrung im Coaching von Mitarbeiter:innen internationaler Konzerne und mittelständischer Unternehmen, unterstütze ich dich mit Business-Deutsch fürs Management. Ab Sprachniveau A2.

Du lernst, in Meetings und in Gesprächen mit Kund:innen und Mitarbeiter:innen genau die professionellen Worte und Redemittel auf Deutsch anzuwenden, die du in deiner Muttersprache einsetzen würdest. Sei es im direkten Dialog, am Telefon, in E-Mails genau so wie auf Zoom.

Dazu gehört auch ein interkulturelles Mentoring. Hier zeige ich dir worüber beim Business Small Talk in Deutschland gesprochen wird und was ganz allgemeine „Does“ und „Don’ts“ im deutschen Geschäftsleben sind.

Wenn du in einer Führungsposition tätig bist, geht es auch um ein Führungskräfte-Coaching. Möchtest du dich beruflich neu orientieren? Wir optimieren deine Bewerbungsunterlagen und machen dich fit für Vorstellungsgespräche. Wenn es dir darum geht, überzeugend auf Deutsch zu präsentieren, erarbeiten wir gemeinsam die Inhalte deiner Charts und bereiten dich gezielt auf deine Präsentation vor.

Du siehst, es wird ganz individuell mit exakt den Themen, die für deinen persönlichen Erfolg wichtig sind.

Ich bin riesig gespannt darauf, welche deine Herausforderungen und Ziele sind, bei deren Umsetzung ich dir helfen kann.

Gehe den ersten Schritt zu deinem selbstsicheren, souveränen Auftreten im deutschen Business und buche dir ein Kennenlern-Gespräch mit mir!

„When German language skills became more and more necessary for my job in a German company, I started private lessons in Düsseldorf. With Natalie’s individually tailored intensive course, her expertise and method, that really makes German language easy to learn, I was able to progress fast and speak fluently with my customers and colleagues after four month. Thank you so much!“
