Über mich persönlich. About me personally:
I was born in central Germany, which means I speak very clear and structured German. I have lived 25 years in the United Kingdom, where I studied and qualified as Modern Language teacher in 1999. For18 years I lived and worked in Ecuador, South America. Finally, I came back to my roots in Germany. I am passionate about animal welfare, nature and travelling. My hobbies are cycling, reading, walking through the forest.Me as a Teacher
Ich als Lehrerin. Me as a teacher:
I am a professional and passionate teacher of modern languages such as German, English and Spanish. I am easy-going and patient, yet very disciplined. My aim is to get you speaking, listening, reading and writing from the very beginning. I completely understand the inherent difficulties of language acquisition and know, from experience, that learning a new language can be quite a challenge. I therefore tailor my classes to individual needs and aim for optimal effectiveness to reach the required goal of my students. My lessons & teaching style
Mein Unterrichts -& Lehrstil. My lesson-& teaching style
My lesson and teaching style depends very much on the goal each student wishes to achieve. The structure and style of my lessons vary on whether the student needs to pass a particular test or simply wishes to learn the language without the final goal of a test. I have successfully trained students for the DaF test, any level of Goethe tests, TELC, IELTS, FCE, TOEFL or DELE. If, like me, you just like to learn the language we will jointly decide how and what you would like to learn with me and I will structure our classes accordingly. By the way, small groups of 2 or 3 are most welcome. Contact me if you cannot find a suitable hour.My teaching material

Rita truly knows what she’s doing. She’s quick on her feet and, as soon as she understood my goal, she found the right approach to help me reach it and adapted the lesson accordingly. Best of all, she made me feel completely comfortable speaking German and always had another thoughtful question or task ready to keep me engaged. I genuinely feel like I’m in the best hands with Rita.
