Hello, my name is Nicola. I am from Germany. Learning languages is one of my biggest hobbies apart from travelling and dealing with different cultures. That is why I have been a language stundent myself already many times. I can absolutely feel with you and understand the situation as a language student.
I have been working in the international sales department of an electronics company for the last couple of years. Right now I am on maternal leave with my three years old twins. During that time I would like to deal with my hobby, languages. I hope that some of my passion for languages will pass over to you. ;-)
Me as a Teacher
I studied German and English for a few semesters to become a primary and secondary school teacher.
During my studies I tutored English, French and Spanish. I helped an 11 year old pupil to pass an exam in English and French after the summer holidays. We had regular lessons during the holidays.
I spent one Ersamus semester in Spain (Cáceres) during my studies. And later I did a traineeship in Barcelona with Eurodissey.
My lessons & teaching style
In my conversation lessons I will respond to your wishes. We can just talk, practice grammar, or other topics that are important to you.
In my lessons for beginners we will work with textbooks and sometimes on the platform "blink learning".
Homeworks are possible but not obligatory.
In my lessons for preschool children we will work with children books, children songs and a lot of picture material.
I think that it is easiest to learn a language with fun. So my primary goal is to make you enjoy your language lessons.
I am looking forward to meeting you in one of my classes!

Nicola is one of the very few people who are able to make our daughter not afraid to speak German. Her lectures are always very well prepared and structured. She has an ability to understand what our daughter needs, and andjust the lessons in that way. She is also very kind and respectful.

Nicola is a wonderful teacher. She is very patient and we always have engaging conversations. She helps me to improve my comprehension, and she patiently helps me to formulate my responses in German. I really enjoy learning with her.

Nicola is a great learning partner. I enjoy conversations with her very much, as she is a great conversationalist. She is not only a very nice person, but she is also easy-going and reliable. She adapts her lessons to my needs very well.
