How I Work
I believe learning is most powerful when it’s personal and practical. That’s why I:
-
Focus on individual strengths and challenges.
-
Use creative, engaging methods to make lessons memorable.
-
Ensure that every learner feels supported and motivated.
Why It Matters
Language is more than words; it’s a gateway to new opportunities. My greatest joy comes from seeing students unlock their potential—whether it’s acing an exam, landing a dream job, or simply enjoying the confidence that comes with mastering a new skill.
A Personal Touch
I hail from the beautiful Black Forest, a region that continues to inspire me with its natural beauty and traditions. I’m an avid fan of Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest Gateau) and love introducing others to this iconic dessert.
My favourite German words? Honigkuchenpferd—a delightful term for someone grinning ear to ear, much like how I feel when I see my students succeed. And then there’s Kopfkino—the perfect word for those vivid, imaginative daydreams that play in your mind. Both words capture the joy and creativity that language brings to life!
