I moved to Germany in January 2015 and learned German as an adult learner while building a life here. I passed B1 just over a year after arriving and B2 later the same year.
Arrived in Germany → 6 Feb 2016
B1 exam → 28 Oct 2016
B2 exam
That experience shapes how I teach today: understand what the learner needs, identify what is making it difficult, and practise the skills that make German more usable.
German explanations can be made clearer in the language that helps you understand them best.
B1 and B2 examination results
These are the German examinations I took in Germany while learning the language myself.
Deutsch-Test für Zuwanderer
I know the learner’s side of German.
I did not grow up speaking German. I had to understand it, practise it, pass examinations and then use it repeatedly in Germany.
Quality before quantity
More lessons are not always the answer. We work on the German that matters to you while strengthening the skills underneath it.
Focused preparation
I studied B.Tech at IIT Madras and entered through IIT-JEE with AIR 716 after preparing largely through focused self-study.
That experience influences how I organise German learning: understand the requirement, break it into sub-skills, practise deliberately and measure progress.
English & Malayalam
Lessons and explanations can be given in English or Malayalam, depending on what helps the learner understand German more clearly.
The goal is not to make explanations complicated. It is to make the German itself easier to understand, practise and use.
Tell me where you are starting from.
Tell me your current level, what you need German for and what is currently difficult. I will suggest the most suitable learning path and format. If suitable, I can also send you an invitation to a free group call.
