About Silke Streit
Adults only — no children or teenagers. Want to master the rules of German sentence structure and speak German properly — not just memorize random words and phrases? I’m Silke, a professional German teacher and sworn translator/interpreter fluent in 5 languages. I teach German systematically: a structured textbook series, step by step, covering sentence structure, verb conjugation, tenses, grammar, vocabulary for everyday life and work — plus precise pronunciation correction. Your first lesson is an assessment. I determine your actual level and recommend where you should start. We build your German on solid foundations instead of leaving gaps behind. My students are adults who want real, lasting progress — entrepreneurs, professionals, scientists, students, expats and anyone who is mentally agile and ready to learn. I recommend 2–3 lessons per week, plus a small amount of practice between lessons. I provide the system, structure and correction. You do the work. I’m not the right teacher if you want to cram for an exam next week, come once a week with no practice, or choose your own level regardless of my assessment. But if you’re ready to follow a proven structure, trust my expertise and put in the work, I’ll help you build flawless, natural German that stands out. Ready to do it properly? Book a trial lesson.

I would highly recommend Silke. She takes you through all the information step by step and is very methodical about it and great at explaining things when they are difficult. She also corrects every mistake or mispronunciation and gives you ways to improve which is great for learning.

Outstanding professional. Silke let's nothing slip. If it's not 100%, she will let you know but in the nicest way possible. No room to form bad habits.

Thank you for another fantastic lesson. After a busy week and long day at work I thought I don’t have any power left but then an hour with Silke gave me the kick of energy I needed to find joy in learning german 😀.

Silke is extremely thorough in her teaching: she stops you at every single tiny mistake, be it oral or written, and I believe this approach is very beneficial to prevent you from carrying bad pronunciation/grammar/etc. habits along with your improvements. She also uses German as language of instruction as early as possible, pushing you out of your comfort zone and encouraging you to speak in German since the very first class.

Silke is clear and knowledgeable and on time.

After the trial lesson I can tell that Silke is exactly the person I am looking for to support me in my journey with improving my German skills. She is full of energy and I really like the proposed course plan! I am looking forward to our next meeting :-)
