Natacha Schwarz

Passionate and friendly German teacher

Hallo, Bonjour, Hello, Hola, Olá!

I’m a professional and experienced German teacher specializing in German as a foreign language, that means I teach German to people who speak other languages. I am very passionate about helping students not only learn German, but truly enjoy the process.

I have many years of experience teaching German. Since 2018, I’ve been working with learners of all levels and backgrounds. Over the years, I’ve developed a personalized, student-centered approach that focuses on your individual goals and learning style.

My experience includes teaching small groups at Goethe Institutes, from beginners to advanced students. I also teach specialized courses for professionals, helping them learn the German skills needed for their jobs and their careers. Because of this experience, I’ve developed a dynamic approach that adapts to each student’s goals – whether it’s mastering business vocabulary, preparing for exams, or simply becoming more confident in everyday conversations.

I grew up in a bilingual home speaking both French and German, and later became fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
This multicultural experience gave me a deep understanding of what it means to learn (and sometimes struggle with!) a new language—and the joy that comes with finally speaking it with ease.

My multilingual background allows me to understand the challenges you might face as a language learner. I can tailor my explanations to best suit your needs. My aim is always to create a warm, friendly, supportive, engaging and fun environment where you feel encouraged to speak up, ask questions, and grow.

Whether you’re learning German for work, travel, or personal enrichment — I’d love to support you on your journey.
