Teaching with purpose

committed to fostering independent learners

I am a state-certified (BAMF-) German instructor with several years of experience teaching German as a foreign and second language in adult education, as well as an experienced university lecturer in courses on linguistics and intercultural communication.

My goal is to support learners in a practical, action-oriented way, building on their individual skills and strengths. Encouraging lifelong, self-directed, and independent learning—in everyday life, in higher education, and in the workplace—is my highest priority.

“Your teachers are all around you. All that you perceive, all that you experience, all that is given to you or taken from you, all that you love or hate, need or fear will teach you— if you will learn.”

(Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler, 1993/2012: 280)
