About Gerrit
I have been teaching German as a foreign language for over ten years. My career began at the University of Rochester in New York, where I worked as a lecturer and gained valuable experience in university-level teaching. What sets my lessons apart from conventional language courses is the combination of linguistic precision with deep expertise in political and historical contexts.
I hold a PhD from the University of British Columbia. My field of study encompasses the humanities, with a focus on media studies and cultural history. This academic background allows me to teach the German language not just as a tool for communication, but as a complex system that is closely linked to political,
historical, and social narratives.

With over ten years of teaching experience and an academic background as a PhD in the humanities, I offer a level of depth that is rare to find. You will not just learn the language, but also understand the cultural, historical, and political nuances that shape modern Germany and its language.
Through my experience in university-level teaching and research, I provide you with a logical understanding of grammar and a precise way of expressing yourself. This is especially valuable if you need German for studies, academia, or demanding professional contexts.
We work on what matters to you, whether that is preparing for a job interview, understanding political discourse, or simply gaining confidence in everyday life
Business German:
I adapt my language lessons to your industry and business interests, making sure that everything you learn is both practical for your immediate day to day business needs, as well as for your confidence to speak German in a business environment in the long term.
Conversational German:
Drawing on my background in history, politics, and media studies, I guide you through engaging, real-world discussions tailored precisely to your level, whether you are an advanced speaker refining your nuance or a beginner building day-to-day confidence. While we converse naturally on topics that interest you, I discreetly track your grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, providing you with structured, actionable feedback at the end of each session. My goal is to eliminate the fear of making mistakes and help you to express your thoughts with confidence.

I worked with Gerrit as my German tutor while preparing to work in Germany, and he was a huge help. I started around an A1 level and reached B2 thanks to his lessons. He’s patient, explains things clearly, and always made the lessons easy to follow. I felt much more confident speaking German by the end, and I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking to improve their German!
