"Teaching is the greatest act of optimism."

And I truly believe that. And for me, that optimism shines through in every lesson helping students build confidence, curiosity, and real-world communication skills.

I'm a passionate and enthusiastic teacher with extensive experience working with learners of all ages from curious 4-year-olds to motivated seniors. I especially love working with young children and creating playful, engaging lessons that make learning feel like an adventure.

I specialize in preparing students for German language exams at every level A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2, as well as the AP German exam. Whether you're studying for a test, boosting your academic performance, or getting ready to relocate to Germany, I'm here to help you succeed.

My teaching style is interactive and conversational, designed to keep learners engaged and motivated. I believe grammar doesn't have to be dry in fact, I'll show you how fun it can be to master even our famous four German cases! I love bringing in real cultural insights about Germany and its people, so you're not just learning a language you're understanding a way of life.

Lessons are personalized and goal-focused, with a strong emphasis on exam techniques, confidence building, and real-world fluency. I also provide support in calming nerves before big test days or big moves so you can show up as your best self, every time.
