About Me
italki teacher since Apr 18, 2014Interest topicSports & FitnessTravelMusicFoodTech
I'm a globetrotter and language nerd from Southwest Germany. I've lived in many countries, and I love traveling and learning languages! I'm fluent in English, Portuguese, Dutch/Flemish and I have an intermediate level in French and Spanish.
I'm also a UX designer and passionate about everything related to technology, art and culture.Me as a Teacher
I started teaching German when I moved to Portugal in 2013 and I have over 6 years of experience teaching German online. In 2014, I became an official examiner for the telc exams, which means that I'm certified to act as an examiner for the telc A1-B2 exams as well as B2-C1 Medizin and B1-B2 Pflege.
I'm also a certified instructor for medical professionals and I've worked as a learning designer developing German language courses for nurses and material about integration and intercultural skills.My lessons & teaching style
The most important thing in language learning is to speak from day 1. Therefore, I put special emphasis on communication, working with real-life material and simulating situations that you might come across in a German-speaking country. For example, I work a lot with Youtube videos and other free internet resources but I also have several textbooks that I like to use.
Most importantly, language learning is an individual process and no technique works for everyone. I try to customize my lessons as much as possible to your needs and interests and I can help you to build an effective language learning routine that works for you.

she's indeed a gifted teacher, I recommend her to everyone who wishes to learn german, I guess she's that talented with all the languages she knows, she's patient, and explain things so clearly it makes it look easy to learn german (even if we know it's not), lessons are so interesting we lose track of time

Durante a aula exploramos as dificuldades de se pronunciar as palavras em alemão, seguindo algumas regras que a professora sugeriu. Pelo fato de a professora falar Português, também facilitou em alguns momentos. Fizemos simulações de compra através de diálogos. Muito proveitosa a aula.
