About Me
italki teacher since May 17, 2019
If you want to begin learning or improve your English or German, you've come to the right place! I am a native speaker of English and a fluent speaker of German (DSH-3 / C2 certificate) and French (C1). I'm very passionate about language learning and I'm excited to help you reach your goal. I myself am learning Dutch and Yiddish at the moment. As for my hobbies, I'm really into history, ecology, cooking and conscious living. Since October, I've been working in France as a language assistant in a public high school. I can't wait to get to know you and help you improve your English/German at the same time! What distinguishes me from other teachers is my passion as well as my strategy. I like to prepare conversation topics, songs, news articles, philosophical questions that have the relevant vocabulary and grammar structures to improve your speaking skills.

I am here to help you hone in on your skills and succeed in your interview, writing an essay or reading a book in English or German. My lessons are completely flexible. I'm here to help you reach your goal as a learner of English or German. If you'd like to improve your conversational skills, we can discuss your interests or current events. If you'd like to prepare for an exam, we can do grammar and reading exercises. Or even a mixture of both! I even have mem...

Our lessons are always very interesting and enjoyable, we learn a lot of new words and phrases, we speak on different topics. Ryan always corrects my mistakes and explain it. I like these lessons.

My session with Ryan was all I had hoped it to be; it was delightful. I had difficulty connecting at the first and he extended our session ending time in order to compensate for lost time at the beginning. His comments to me were precise, careful and gentle. He discovered areas I needed to improve and created (spontaneously!) brief exercises to learn and practice. He posed questions at the end of the session which forced me recall material we had used at the beginning.

One of the best language teachers I've ever worked with. Ryan was patient and very encouraging, and was very good at leaving me space in which I could work out what I was trying to say before he corrected me or gave me the answer. I found it was a more effective way of helping me to recall words.

Great lesson with Ryan. He is extremely patient, friendly and helpful in explaining grammar concepts at a level I understand. He also has excellent materials for students to use. Thanks for the awesome first lesson and I look forward to having more!
