Flexible German courses in Berlin – in-company with a private teacher

Flexible private German classes – at home, in-company or online

Our German courses are built around private classes, allowing professionals and companies to learn efficiently without the limitations of fixed group schedules.

• Private one-to-one classes with a dedicated teacher

Lesson schedules are fully flexible and adapted to your availability. This makes it possible to combine language training with demanding professional schedules.

Learning portal for audio and writing practice

In addition to live classes, learners use a structured learning portal designed to support steady progress between lessons.

• Audio training with real German speech at your level
• Writing exercises with personalised corrections
• CEFR-aligned modules connected to your exam or professional goal
• Clear guidance on what to study next

The learning portal ensures that listening and writing skills are trained consistently, while live classes focus on speaking, interaction and feedback.

If you are preparing for an official German language exam, exam training is integrated directly into your private or team classes.

• Targeted preparation for Goethe-Zertifikat, telc, TestDaF, DSH
• Preparation for DTZ (integration and residence)

• Practice with real exam formats, timing and task types

Your private teacher helps you plan realistically towards your exam date and ensures that exam preparation remains connected to real professional and daily communication.

Teacher assignment is carefully matched and flexible. After your application, a qualified teacher is assigned based on your language level, professional background, learning goals and availability. All teachers follow a structured, CEFR-aligned methodology supported by the learning portal.

Case study: IT engineers integrating into a German-speaking team with a Bildungsgutschein

A small team of international IT engineers in Berlin needed German language skills to integrate better into a predominantly German-speaking workplace. Although English was used for technical documentation, daily communication, meetings and informal coordination were increasingly conducted in German.

The team enrolled in a private, small-group training programme, funded through the Bildungsgutschein. Training combined flexible private classes with access to the learning portal for audio and writing practice, allowing engineers to study independently between sessions.

• Weekly private classes focused on meetings, stand-ups and internal communication
• Writing practice using real work emails, tickets and documentation
• Listening training with authentic German workplace audio
• Flexible scheduling to accommodate sprint cycles and deadlines

After three months, team members were able to participate actively in meetings in German, handle informal workplace communication with confidence, and collaborate more smoothly with German-speaking colleagues. Team leads reported faster onboarding, fewer misunderstandings and improved team cohesion.

The combination of private instruction, self-study support and public funding via the Bildungsgutschein made the programme both effective and accessible for the company and its employees.
