About Me

I am a German language teacher with many years of experience teaching students of all age groups and across A1 to C2 levels. In the past, I have worked at the Goethe Institut in Bangalore, India and Prague, Czech Republic. I now work as a freelancer in various prestigious institutes and universities in Germany - primarily in the Berlin and Brandenburg region, both in classrooms and online via Zoom, Google Meet, BigBlueButton, and other platforms. My approach blends communicative practice with clear structure, so learners build confidence while mastering grammar, vocabulary, and real‑world skills.

As a qualified examiner and TELC trainer, I also support institutions with examination sessions and help teachers develop practical, engaging lessons. My teaching methodology emphasizes interactive learning, where students actively participate in conversations, role-plays, and real-world scenarios that prepare them for everyday communication in German-speaking environments.

Whether you're preparing for a language exam, need German for professional purposes, or simply want to improve your conversational skills, I tailor each lesson to your individual needs and learning style. In my free time, I enjoy running, playing the guitar, cooking, and spending time with my two kids.
