Ich unterrichte seit dem Jahr 2005 und durfte ganz viele Erfahrungen sammeln in der Unterstufe, in der Mittelstufe, in der Oberstufe, in Kleinklassen in einer Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie u.s.w. Die letzten fünf Jahre habe ich in einer Primarschule im Raum Zürich unterrichtet, dort war ich als DaZ (Deutsch als Zweitsprache)-Lehrperson tätig, wo ich auch noch die DaZ-Ausbildung absolviert habe. Das Unterrichten macht mir sehr viel Spass, ich bin sehr motiviert und zielstrebig.

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
