Available to hire
I am a German language teacher and author with a Master’s in German Language Science and Geography. Having lived abroad since 2003, I thrive on cultural exchange, curiosity, and a patient, outgoing approach to teaching.
I’ve taught German in Berlitz and ELT programs in the US, designed engaging online and weekend courses, and enjoyed collaborating on copywriting and social media projects. I’m excited to continue helping students grow their language skills and to create compelling language content.
