I am a native German speaker and professional linguist holding a degree in General Linguistics, German Philology, and Romance Philology/Spanish (MA) from the University of Cologne in Germany. These studies were followed by further degrees in Psychology (HDip) and Criminology (PGDip), completed in English in Ireland. Given my international experience as a qualified (online) trainer and examiner for German as a Foreign Language, I teach and provide exam preparation across all German language levels (CEFR I A1-C2). This involves that the competence areas including reading, listening, writing, and oral interaction will be covered and your individual needs will be considered. My clients include international students and institutions, such as the Heinrich Heine University or the Goethe Institute in Düsseldorf, officials employed by the European Commission, diplomats working for the Department of Foreign Affairs (DAF) but also companies, such as Dr. Oetker, Lidl, VW or Zalando in Ireland.
