The Struggle is Real - come and learn German from someone who understands!

I love all things German and my aim is to encourage my students to feel the same. I've been teaching German for 5 years. My students go from knowing no German to being able to hold conversations to eventually completing their grad studies in a German speaking country! Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to introduce yourself and before you know it be a German whizz. I try to base my lessons around modern German pop culture typically using current events as inspiration. My lessons feature video links, audio, worksheets, textbooks, and more. I offer different time options to suit your needs and am also happy to discuss group lessons if you wish to learn with your partner/family member/friend. Please reach out to discuss pricing options for those.

Guten Tag, I'm Sam and use the pronouns she/her. I was born in England but have been living and teaching in the USA since 2014 where I studied for my MA in German Studies at the University of Florida. I began teaching with Takelessons in 2016 and never looked back! Last year I became a USA permanent resident and am working my way to becoming a citizen. I started learning German in school at 11 so, as well as teaching German I also know what it is like to learn it. I firmly believe this background aids my teaching. After school I went on to study German as my major at undergrad level, studying in Düsseldorf plus living and working in Berlin multiple times. Ich liebe (I love) all things Deutsch, would also love to pass that on to you. German can be a tough language to learn but that is what makes it extra rewarding. I consider myself to be an approachable teacher who will always strive to make you feel comfortable in our lessons steer them to cover things that interest you personally. I'm currently located in Asheville, North Carolina, so if you're a local feel free to contact me regarding in-person lessons. Danke!

Sam is the most incredible German teacher you could ask for. She is knowledgeable, flexible, funny and patient. I would recommend her to anyone looking to learn German.

Sam is AMAZING. So much so that I hesitate to write this review, because I don't want her to ever get too busy for me! (ha). I had taken (a few) lessons prior to her but was just as lost as ever when I gave her a try. I feel like I have learned sooooo much now since having lessons with her! She's super friendly but just.. get it when it comes to teaching a language. I don't know how to put it into words, but she just knows how to make it stick without it being so overwhelming. Love having you as my German teacher, Sam!!!

At UF I taught intensive beginners German to a range of students. They went from complete beginners to being at a high enough level to study abroad in only two semesters. Courses were taught both in classroom and online.
