What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my language teaching skills and passion for technology in education.

I am a dedicated and passionate German language instructor with over two years of experience teaching learners from A1 to B1 levels in both physical and virtual settings. My strong background in transcription, research, and content analysis complements my teaching skills, allowing me to create engaging and effective learning experiences. I excel in lesson planning and instructional design, adapting my teaching methods to meet the diverse needs of my students.

Currently, I contribute to a digital platform aimed at delivering German language education across African countries. I design culturally relevant materials and create interactive content that fosters student engagement. My commitment to student success is evident through my interactive lessons, consistent feedback, and a patient, communicative teaching approach. I am passionate about integrating technology into language instruction, ensuring that my students receive a modern and effective education.
