Berlin Book Nook Language Tutors grew out of The Berlin Book Nook, the book shop in Neukölln whose website you are currently visiting.
A few years ago, Alexander Hamilton, the shop’s founder and owner, and a linguist by profession and inclination, started offering one-to-one German lessons at the book shop. Alexander grew up speaking English, Russian and French, studied Russian, Czech and Slovak at Oxford University, where he earnt a degree in Modern Languages, and spent many years working in the translation business, having set up his own agency in 2006. He has amassed decades of practical, academic, and professional experience with language and languages.
An
enthusiastic language learner himself, Alexander also spent years developing
his own language-learning techniques, and his eventual plunge into teaching gave
him the opportunity to try these out on others. The number of students grew
quickly, mostly by word of mouth. Feedback was very positive, with some
students saying that they had learnt more in just a couple lessons with him
than they had in months of German classes.
The years of practical experience allowed Alexander to refine his techniques further and integrate them into a comprehensive language-teaching method, one that could be applied to other languages. Working with other – and very carefully sourced - Language Experts and Conversation Trainers, Berlin Book Nook Language Tutors offers one-to-one language lessons to beginners, false beginners, as well as lower-to-upper intermediate level students.
The following languages are currently offered:
German (in-person in Berlin and online)
French (online)
Italian (online)
Spanish (online)
Portuguese (online)
Catalan (online)
Russian (online)
