Sobre mí
*PhD holder in German studies, 20+ years of teaching experience*
-The reason I change my availability is that I accepted the director’s position of the Austrian Institute Bratislava (yes, it’s like Goethe Institute and yes, it also provides internationally recognized German exams, but it’s under the Austrian government). Although my availability will be limited, I am willing to support you, should you need an advice regarding learning German or regarding exams. Should you be able to book classes at my current rate on a regular basis, we shall find time slots that would fit us both.-
Hello, I have a PhD from the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany, and I have been teaching German and the subjects related to German language, culture and literature for more than 20 years. My jobs included preparation of exams which were in line with the CEFR. At the same time, I led intensive German courses (DaF) for students who started with German from scratch and needed to be prepared for their studies in Germany.
I started teaching during my studies at university. Most of the jobs I was given back then involved working with teenagers and adults. It was a challenge for me but I loved it! Later on, I spent 17 years in Southeast Asia, where I worked at various universities and gained enormous experience in working with multiethnic and multicultural groups. Apart from that, I also had the opportunity to participate in the development of study programs. In addition to German, I communicate in English, Czech, Russian and I speak a tiny bit of Malay.
We all are different learners and we shall find the most suitable way for ourselves! At the beginning of my teaching career, I considered being a non-native German speaker as my weakness. However, growing experience in teaching and co-working with German mother tongue speakers, I realized that it is actually my strength. I went through the whole process of learning German from zero to the highest level, which included all sorts of fun, confusions and frustrations. That’s why I understand the needs, progress and questions of my students very well.
