***In SEP 25 - NOV 25 I have helped students to pass these exams with excellent results: telc, Goethe***

✔ Interview Preparation & Business - certified for Business English (I can help with Business German) / Job-coach

✔ Medical / Medizin - telc certified for doctors

Additionally, I offer pronunciation classes with targeted exercises to get you to a native-like pronunciation (a topic often neglected).

My native tongue is German. I speak accent-free Standard German and I am fluent in English as well.

My background is linguistics (Master of Arts) with many years of language teaching experience and an understanding of the structure of languages. During my studies and in my final thesis I explored how cultural differences are manifested in languages and how they are mistakenly carried into target languages by learners.

I have worked as a language teacher on almost all levels (except with toddlers and children). I have taught groups and individuals at university and school level as well as in business environments. Many of my current clients are from Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Furthermore, I love languages and constantly try new methods for my own language learning to put me in the shoes of the learner.

My teaching style is goal-oriented and suited to individual needs and my classes are well-prepared and structured with the freedom to adjust to your progress.

It is most important for me that you feel safe and free to make mistakes and at the same time experience a sense of achievement.

After defining your needs I make sure to help you achieve them through:

- A thorough analysis of your sticking points

- language teaching for your conversational or job-specific needs

- using authentic and grammar focused materials

- huge emphasise on your pronunciation and the application of relevant phrases
