German Private Lessons in Berlin-Mitte

One-to-one German lessons at Sprachinstitut Berlin are private German lessons fully tailored to your individual needs. Unlike group courses, you work here one-to-one with a qualified teacher who adapts lessons exactly to your learning pace and personal goals. One-to-one lessons are suitable for all learners – whether you are just starting German or are already advanced and want to work specifically on certain weaknesses. Whether you are preparing for a telc or TestDaF exam, need specialist vocabulary for work, or want to prepare for a job interview: one-to-one lessons provide the right framework.

One-to-one lessons cover all levels from A1 to C2. This means both absolute beginners with no prior knowledge and highly advanced learners receive the right instruction. Your teacher determines your current level together with you and creates an individual learning plan based on it. If you are unsure of your level, you can take our free placement test in advance for a solid assessment.

One of the biggest advantages of one-to-one lessons is their high scheduling flexibility. You are not tied to fixed course times, but arrange your lesson appointments individually with your teacher. This allows German lessons to fit optimally into your daily life – whether in the morning, afternoon or evening. This flexibility makes one-to-one lessons particularly attractive for working professionals, students or anyone with an irregular schedule.

One-to-one lessons are offered in a hybrid format, which means you can choose freely whether to attend on site at our language school in Berlin-Mitte or conveniently online via Zoom. You can even switch between both formats depending on what suits you better on a given day. Online lessons offer the same quality as in-person lessons and allow you to learn from anywhere – ideal if you do not live in Berlin or are travelling temporarily.

In one-to-one lessons, you work exclusively with qualified teachers who have extensive experience in teaching German as a foreign language. Our teachers are trained to adapt lessons individually to your learning goals, pace and preferred learning style. Through direct contact with a native speaker, you benefit not only from correct grammar and pronunciation, but also from authentic language use and cultural understanding. You can learn more about your teacher on our teachers page.

In one-to-one lessons, you can pursue a wide range of learning goals tailored exactly to your situation. Typical focuses include preparation for official language exams, learning specialist vocabulary for specific professions, or targeted training for job interviews in German. You can also build general language competence, improve your conversational ability or work on specific grammar topics. Your learning plan is created individually and can be adapted at any time to new goals or changing requirements.

Yes, for one-to-one lessons at the weekend there is a surcharge of 10 euros per teaching hour. This additional fee is due to higher demand and special teacher availability on Saturdays and Sundays. During the week, lessons take place without additional costs. So if you are flexible, it is advisable to choose appointments on weekdays to use the lower rate. For individual price advice, feel free to contact us.

The key difference lies in individual support and flexibility. While an intensive course takes place in a group with a fixed timetable and is designed for rapid progress, one-to-one lessons are completely tailored to your personal needs and schedule. An evening course also offers convenient times for working professionals, but is taught in a group format. In one-to-one lessons, by contrast, you receive your teacher’s full attention, can clarify questions immediately and learn at your own pace – without having to adapt to other participants’ levels.

Absolutely – one-to-one lessons are excellent for specialised language goals such as Business German or industry-specific specialist vocabulary. Your teacher can tailor lessons specifically to professional communication, for example negotiations, business correspondence, presentations or technical terminology from fields such as medicine, law or engineering. If you want to prepare comprehensively for professional language use, our dedicated Business German course may also be an interesting addition. In one-to-one lessons, however, you have the advantage that content is tailored 100% to your professional situation.

Registering for one-to-one lessons is straightforward and possible at any time – you are not tied to fixed start dates. Simply get in touch via our contact page and let us know your preferences regarding level, learning goals and time availability. If you do not yet know your current level, we recommend taking our free placement test first. We then create an individual learning plan together with you, and you can start lessons promptly.
