Hello, my name is Martin.
In 2010 I did an internship at the Japanese International School 日本人国際学校 in Berlin (my hometown). This was my first teaching experience and it inspired me to become a teacher. In 2014 I started my first part-time teaching job at a public high school (German and English), while I was still a student. Since 2015 I have been teaching full-time in Germany, Japan, and China. I have taught at high schools, universities, and private schools 英会話. I hold a licence which allows me to teach German as a foreign language to adults for the German government and also did a TEFL training online.
I came to Japan in 2016 and taught German and English at two high schools in Yokohama. After one year, I went to China to teach German at a university in Qingdao. I returned to Japan in 2018 and have since been teaching German and English in Tokyo.
German is my mother tongue, but I am also native fluent in English (C2 level, Cambridge CPE). I hold a Master's degree in English Literature from HU Berlin and also studied Japanese studies as a minor during my B.A. My Japanese level is lower intermediate (about N3 JLPT).
