About Me
italki teacher since Oct 23, 2020InterestsTravelFoodMusic
My name is Martha Heckel, and I was raised in a bicultural environment, which has granted me native proficiency in both German and Spanish. I hold a degree in *Germanistik* (German as a Foreign Language) from Kassel University in Germany, completed through a distance learning program. With over 20 years of teaching experience, including roles at the Goethe Institute and preparing students for DAAD scholarships, I specialize in helping learners achieve fluency efficiently—whether they are beginners starting from scratch (A1) or advancing to intermediate levels (B2). Currently residing in Mexico, I integrate cultural context into my structured, results-oriented lessons.Me as a Teacher
In 2001 I began to teach German as a Foreign Language at the German Cultural Center which is the official representative of the Goethe Institute in the City of Monterrey- Mexico.
In 2012 I taught German at the University Regiomontana. It was very satisfactory to prepare students to obtain the Scholarships offered by the DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) to study and to do their Internship in German companies My lessons & teaching style

It is a nice experience. Instead of boring reading textbook, Ruth makes the lesson lifely and time flies.

It was only the introduction class. I just booked 30 minutes. I wanted to introduce myself and what I expect about next classes. We have spoken about the goals, how the classes will be and what I want to achieve. We had time to do one activity.

L'application es un désastre. Se queda colgada. Horrible. No hay vuelta atrás, hay que reiniciar el teléfono para volver a entrar.

Muy bien estructuradas las clases, además que son una combinación perfecta de gramática y conversación, la profesora se toma el tiempo para responder nuestras dudas y la verdad hemos estado muy satisfechos.
