How do online lessons work?

Lessons take place online via Microsoft Teams or Zoom. You receive a personal link and join your individual session – no extra software required. Each lesson is tailored to your language goals.

Can I book a trial lesson?

Yes, you can book a free trial lesson to get to know the structure and teaching style. Just click the 'Book your trial lesson' button on the About Me page or use the contact form.

Which levels and languages do you teach?

I teach German and English at all levels (A1–C2), including business and conversation classes. Lessons are fully customized for each learner.

How do I pay for my lessons?

Payments can be made easily via bank transfer or PayPal after booking. Details will be sent once your lessons are confirmed.

What is your cancellation policy?

You can cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before your lesson without charge. Cancellations made later will be billed in full.

Can I learn while traveling?

Absolutely! All lessons are fully online and accessible from anywhere. Many of my students continue learning while traveling or living abroad.

I’m Nina Buschmann — language trainer, intercultural coach, writer, and lifelong traveler.
With more than 25 years of teaching experience globally, I don’t just teach a language — I help you live it.

My Unique Approach

Having spent decades living in various countries (USA, Japan, Middle East, Latin America, Caribbean, Europe), I bring culture into every personalised online lesson.
My goal: not just accuracy, but confidence — language you can feel, use, and own.

In some cases, language challenges are less about vocabulary or grammar and more about confidence, inhibition, or emotional blocks.

What others say

“Nina really masters the method like no one I have ever seen before. The combination of video, chat notes, and Dropbox is an absolute winner!”

Yasser Helmy, Singapore

“While getting older, people usually have their own routine and ways to deal with what they want. My target is understanding and speaking with people where I live. Nina is an amazing teacher and the most impressive thing about her, she can adapt herself and the class following exactly what the student asks for.”

Raphael Rigobeli, Brazil

“Learning with Nina has been a real please. She has been very encouraging and seems to have endless patience. I wasn’t sure about Skype video calling at the start, but it has worked just as well as actually being there and I get to converse to a native German speaker.

I couldn’t recommend Nina more highly.”

John Rainford, UK

“For me this class is the better one I’ve ever taken, you are maybe the best teacher, you know how to teach and this is one of my best experiences,

I won’t forget you!”

Jose Incer, Nicaragua

“I think you were the best teacher of my life. You taught us not only how to study but the pleasure to study.”

Narita Yoichi, Japan
