Hallo! Happy to see you found me! My name is Rebecca, I'm from Germany where I studied International Cultural and Business Studies and did my Master's in North and Latin American Studies, when the teaching bug bit me. Há 6 anos atrás, me mudei para o Brasil e me tornei uma professora certificada pelo Goethe Institut e a universidade de Jena, na Alemanha. Me encanta bailar, conectarme con gente de todo el mundo y compartir mi fascinación por la comunicación humana. Let's get to know each other! Vamos nos conhecer? Mucho gusto!
Me as a Teacher
Among my students, I'm known for my fantastic analogies that help break down complex grammar phenomena into playfull images you won't forget. Have you ever heard about scorpions in German language?
Adoro ensinar individualmente pois isso me permite adaptar a aula às suas necessidades e preferências para otimizar seu aprendizado. Vamos?
Growing up with a dialect, but speaking standard German since high school made me realize and helps me to prepare you for the challenges you face learning German in order to actually be able to communicate in real life. I'm empathetic and have developed a profound understanding of what might be missing in your learning experience. Let's complete it together.
My lessons & teaching style
Flexibility is one of my core values as a person and you will also find this in my classes. I tailor them to your interests and preferences and you'll always leave class with a document registering your progress. We could focus on training for your proficency certificate without it feeling like endless repetition. We could make you gain plenty of confidence for your job interview in German. We could also choose a TV series to go with our classes or focus on a specific goal of yours. That's your choice. Lessons the way I love them are playfull, interactive and never boring. How about you?
