Experience
As our world becomes more and more connected through modern technology and globalization, it’s critical for today’s students to become fluent in the languages and cultures of others. As a native speaker of German, I can help you build language skills, express yourself with confidence, clarity, and provide you with (inter-) cultural awareness. I am a professional translator with an academic background and proficient knowledge of the German and English language as well as Russian. I have given private English language classes to German students while still living in Germany. In the last years of living in the United States, I have provided private tutoring lessons to High School students to prepare them for exams or for living abroad. I have worked and studied with many different cultures and can convey aspects of intercultural communication and formal language requirements in a business setting, for instance. I can help you brush up on your German to have a proper conversation in a foreign language or make new friends abroad. Whether you are studying German in Elementary, Middle or High School, I can help you advance your language proficiency by using the right grammar and building a vocabulary.

Hobbies
People have described me as a social, open-minded, and curious person. I am very interested in other cultures and ways of life. As far as my hobbies are concerned, I love traveling, cycling, and spending lots of time with my family. My two children are also raised bilingually. I enjoy working with other students to help them make progress and learn from them as well. I am excited to meet you to help you achieve your goal.
