My name is Marilena, originally from beautiful Salzburg, Austria. After spending two years abroad in Perugia, Italy, I returned to Salzburg and worked for a year as a financial instructor at a bank. Now, starting in September of 2024, I'm excited to pursue my studies in Psychology.
In my free time, I delve into art history, explore diverse cultures, and immerse myself in music. I'm passionate about traveling, meeting new people, indulging in literature, writing poetry, and cherishing moments with friends and family.
Me as a Teacher
As your community tutor I embody patience, commitment, empathy, and a positive outlook in my teaching practice. Learning a new language can be challenging, especially at the beginning when you might feel uncertain. As your community tutor, I am dedicated to providing you with the support and freedom you need to gain confidence in speaking German and to flourish in your language skills.
My lessons & teaching style
My goal is to create a comfortable and informal atmosphere where you can feel confident practicing and improving your German conversation skills. We'll engage in conversations on a wide range of topics to enhance your fluency and confidence in speaking. I encourage you to bring your interests and topics you'd like to discuss to our sessions. Whether it's daily life, travel, culture, or any other subject, our conversations will help you build practical language skills and expand your vocabulary. Feel free to share your preferences and areas you'd like to focus on during our lessons. I'm dedicated to adapting our sessions to meet your learning needs and ensure an enriching experience.

My lessons with Marilena have been really nice, she keeps the conversation flowing but is also super patient when I need some extra time to think about what I want to say. I really appreciate that she corrects me whenever I make a mistake too. Would recommend :)

Der Testkurs hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Marilena hat eine unglaubliche Ausstrahlung, die mir das Gefühl gegeben hat, mich gut auszudrücken.
