One-on-one lessons designed around your schedule, your goals, and your level — from complete beginner to advanced.
All CEFR Levels
Which Level Are You?
Kerstin teaches all levels from A1 (complete beginner) through C1 (advanced). Not sure where you fit? She will assess your level in your first session.
Beginner
You have little or no prior knowledge of German. You will learn to introduce yourself, use basic greetings, and handle very simple exchanges.
Elementary
You can understand and use familiar everyday expressions. Lessons focus on building confidence in simple, routine communication.
Intermediate
You can handle most situations while travelling and produce simple connected text. Lessons develop fluency and broader vocabulary.
Upper Intermediate
You can interact with native speakers with a degree of fluency. Lessons focus on nuance, idiomatic expression, and professional language.
Advanced
You can express yourself fluently and spontaneously. Lessons refine precision, register, and the ability to handle complex academic or professional contexts.

Common Questions
How do I know which level I am?
If you are unsure of your level, Kerstin will assess you in your first session through a brief conversation and a few exercises. There is no pressure — it is simply a way to ensure lessons are pitched at exactly the right level for you.
What do I need for online lessons?
Just a computer or tablet with a camera and microphone, and a Zoom account (free). Kerstin will send you a meeting link before each session. All materials are shared digitally.
How often should I take lessons?
Most students progress well with one or two lessons per week. Kerstin will recommend a frequency based on your goals and availability during your first session.
What is the trip fee for in-person lessons?
The trip fee varies based on your location within the Greater Seattle Area. Kerstin will confirm the exact amount when you get in touch — it is always discussed upfront with no surprises.
