Experience
I have Certificates for TEFL (CELTA) and DaF (German as a Foreign Language. I've been working as a tutor and language teacher for the last 12 years in Germany, Spain and England.I started tutoring German and English during my studies in Duisburg (Germany) in a well known institution called "Studienkreis".After my studies I lived in Zaragoza, Spain, for three years and worked full-time as a German and English teacher in a privat Language Academy. I gave classes to children, teenagers, adults and also taught at the military base in Zaragoza, preparing officers for a peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, and giving one-to-one lessons to the General and Chief of Staff.I am an enthusiastic and dynamic person, deeply passionate about languages and highly motivated to teach/ tutor German, English and Spanish in a communicative approach.This means that I motivate my students to ´use´ the language, rather than just ´learn´ grammatical rules and complete written exercises. In my classes I use a variety of materials and tailor lessons to students' needs, according to age, aim and learner style.
