Max Hardter – Online German Tutor for Expats
Your Tutor

Hi, I'm Max — a native German speaker from Hamburg

I know firsthand what it feels like to navigate life in a language that isn't your own. Living in Poland, I experience it every day. That's why I teach with patience, real understanding, and zero pressure.

My lessons are calm, structured, and always focused on real-world progress — not grammar drills for their own sake.
