I am Hannes, a Goethe-certified German teacher with more than seven years of experience. Born in Germany, raised in Argentina, and fluent in five languages, I know how learners progress best. With my unique method inspired by the Growing Participator Approach, you will learn German naturally – through listening, participation, and authentic communication.
About Me
My academic background in Sociology and History, combined with Montessori training, shapes a creative, learner-centered teaching style. Living in Córdoba with my family, I bring both international perspective and personal warmth into my lessons.Having learned several languages myself, I know the challenges of starting from zero. This experience allows me to guide my students with empathy and clarity, helping them overcome obstacles and stay motivated.
Want a first impression of my teaching style? In this short video, I introduce myself, share my approach, and show what you can expect in our lessons. It’s the best way to decide if we are the right fit before booking your first class.
The Growing Participator Approach (GPA) makes language acquisition intuitive. Instead of memorizing grammar tables, you begin with listening and understanding, and then grow into speaking with confidence.Through images, stories, and real-life dialogue, German becomes living communication. This structured yet natural process builds fluency step by step, without unnecessary pressure.
Learners
I work with children from age six, teenagers, and adults – especially at beginner and intermediate levels (A1–B2). With the Growing Participator Approach, you begin by listening and understanding, supported by images and simple interactions.Step by step, you grow into active speaking: first describing, then retelling, and finally taking part in lively, free-flowing conversations. Grammar and vocabulary emerge naturally along the way, always connected to meaningful communication.
What to expect
Every lesson is designed to help you grow into German naturally. You will begin with listening and understanding, then gradually move into speaking and creating your own stories. Therefore you can expect:○ A clear progression from comprehension to confident use
○ Interactive tasks with images, stories, and role play
○ Vocabulary and grammar unfolding in real communication
○ A professional yet relaxed atmosphere where learning feels natural

He’s attentive, thoughtful and puts genuine care into planning each session. Every class feels purposeful and tailored, and I leave each one feeling more confident. Highly recommended!"Ana, Berlin, Germany
"I really enjoy my lessons with Hannes! His teaching style is very interactive, combining vocabulary exercises on a shared whiteboard coupled with more freestyle conversations about daily life. This mix keeps the lessons fun and helps me really remember what I’ve learned. He’s always positive, brings great energy to each session, and makes learning German surprisingly fun!"T., Zürich, Switzerland
"Hannes's teaching method is excellent and super didactic. I love learning with stories, as I feel I remember new vocabulary and grammatical structures more easily because I associate them with the content of the stories. I had never spoken so much in German during a class, and with each passing class, I feel more comfortable with the language. Hannes is very patient, makes the classes entertaining, and celebrates every new achievement. Highly recommended!"Lucía, München, Germany
