When I was 14 years old I left Germany for the first time to travel to another country alone. I felt terribly homesick, but I definitely enjoyed the experience of living in a different culture, and it was then when I caught the travel bug.

Ever since then I've traveled continents and countries and realized language is the key to a deeper understanding of people, their culture and customs.

Now, with a master's degree in German, Portuguese, Italian, and Education Science from the University of Cologne, Germany, I combined my passion with my profession.

I feel very fortunate to share the excitement for languages and foreign cultures with my teachers and students, and I am very thankful to the teachers, who have created a unique place where everybody has their own teaching style, but share the same vision of a place, where human encounters are possible, cultural experiences are exchanged and last but not least languages are taught in a professional and very personalized manner.

I sincerely hope you enjoy your time at LanguageArts .
