FAQs
Can you tell me more about your online German teachers?
We accept only about 10% of the applications we receive. Whilst we look at qualifications and experience, we place equal value on communication skills, as well as reviews received from students. Other requirements are that the teachers are native German speakers who can also speak English.
We believe our rigorous selection process is the principal reason why the German tutors our site have an average rating of 4.9 stars on an independent review site. Whichever online German teacher you pick, you can be assured that they know what they’re doing.
Of course, each teacher is different and there may be one or two that you click with better than others. So we recommend you check out the videos of each German teacher and book a 30 minute trial session with the one you like the most!

Can you tell me more about the lessons?
You’ll learn 1-on-1 with a dedicated tutor. This enables you to get considerably more speaking practice in, when compared to group lessons. Each lesson lasts 55 minutes and is taught via video call (Skype or Zoom, depending on your preferences), allowing you to communicate with your tutor & share learning materials as if you were in the same room.
As well as Skype and Zoom, many of the German teachers use additional technologies and resources to enhance the learning experience, for example Google Docs (for real-time collaboration), videos, and PowerPoint slides.
During your trial session, your German tutor will assess your level and discuss your goals with you. Then if you decide to take lessons, they’ll tailor them to your individual needs.

What learning goals can online German tutors help with?
1-on-1 lessons are possibly the best way to improve speaking skills, and for this reason many students use Lingoci to learn to speak German fluently. But if you have other, more specific goals, the German teacher you choose will aim to tailor the lessons to your needs. Most of the tutors can help with all of the following:
- Goethe exam preparation
- Practical German for travelling or integration.
- Business German
- Grammar (at all levels)
- Preparation for school exams – A Levels / Baccalaureate etc.
- Reading, listening & writing
Whatever your background and motivation, consider signing up for a trial session to see how it feels to learn with a German teacher online.

When can I take lessons?
You can learn at a pace that fits your schedule and objectives – it’s totally up to you when and how often you take lessons. When you book your trial session, just make sure that the German tutor you choose has booking times that fit your schedule. Some of them have a lot of students!
Have very limited weekly availability? When choosing a tutor for a trial, simply complete a form to ask our support team to suggest an appropriate tutor. You can also change your tutor later on if required.

How does learning with a German teacher online differ from learning face-to-face?
Students are occasionally unsure about learning online because they think it’ll be completely different to learning face-to-face. But when they give it a try, they usually find that the experience is almost the same. Once you’ve connected with your online German tutor on Skype/Zoom, you’ll be able to see them and communicate with them as if you were in the same room. They’ll also share learning resources with you and you’ll be able to collaborate in real-time.

How fast can I learn German?
Learning a language is a complex process. There are several factors that will impact how fast you can learn German, including:
- Languages you already know
- Intensity of study
- Your motivation
- Your level of experience learning other languages
- Your ability to learn and memorise
- How you’re learning
Depending on all of the above factors, it could take anywhere between six months and five years to go from beginner to fluent! If you stay committed to practicing regularly, you’ll generally make fast progress.

How much do German tutors charge?
Looking at the wider market, the cost of a German tutor varies significantly – from 15 euros up to 60 euros per hour. On Lingoci, German tutors cost between €18.90 and €21.90 – with the price varying based on the volume of lesson credits bought (5 up to 40). So Lingoci German tutors are at the lower end on the cost scale. One reason why learning via Lingoci tends to be a lot cheaper than learning face-to-face is that travel and classroom costs are non-existent.
Of course, learning 1-on-1 with an experienced German tutor is still not the cheapest way to learn. For example, you could start learning via a free app instead. But once you know a few words, nothing beats 1-on-1 German lessons with a great teacher. You can see pricing via this page.
