Welcome aboard!
Level: Beginner
For beginners and those with little prior knowledge who can introduce themselves, talk about themselves, and ask the most important questions. This section covers pronunciation, the most frequently used vocabulary, the three most important tenses, and simple sentence structure.
Travel
Level: from A1
Looking forward to your holiday. Wonderful! And if you combine it with an English course, it'll be even more fun. My travel course covers everything you need for your holiday: restaurant visits, itinerary, transportation, reservations, shopping, small talk, asking for directions, and, just in case, doctor's visits, accidents, and emergencies. You never know.
Ready, Set, VACATION !!!
Level up!
Level: A2
Those who travel frequently and with pleasure may have noticed that the English language is full of idioms and phrasal verbs. "You just made this up , didn't you?" and "they made up " have very different meanings. In the first, someone came up with something, while in the second, two people have made up. This could potentially be awkward. Similarly, Denglish: bodybag, handy, and public viewing are English words, but can often have completely different meanings. This, along with fluent English speaking, is the focus of this course, alongside two other tenses.
Chill & Chat
Level: from A2
This is all about talking, talking, talking. Laughter included. We'll cover various topics that we can discuss or laugh about. A dash of grammar (and a glass of wine for those who want it) is included if needed and requested by the participants. Those who speak English regularly will find it easier to travel because they don't have to think for long.
Business & Co
The advantages of having English-speaking staff are manifold: no misunderstandings and therefore no complaints, returns, and dissatisfied customers. It's a real draw for new customers when they see "We Speak English" on the shop door. Faster processing of business transactions and positive word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied customers.
Business Hybrid Course
A tailor-made course for working professionals.
on-site or online
in individual lessons or in a group
Presentation preparation, offers, emails, small talk...
Negotiate effectively, have better career opportunities, operate internationally...
Those who speak English can participate in the discussion.
Crash courses for companies
Whether you are an owner, manager or entrepreneur, the likelihood that your customer base or suppliers do not always speak German is constantly increasing, and the need to communicate in English is becoming more and more frequent.
But learning a new language is time-consuming and can be expensive. Most companies, however, only need a few expressions and standard phrases that are common in their industry.
Let me compile an industry-specific vocabulary list with suitable conversations for you. This will ensure targeted employee training that quickly yields results.
German language courses for your employees (German as a Second Language)
Powerful language. Strong employees. Strong company.
Our German as a Second Language (GSL) courses transform language barriers into clear communication – for greater efficiency, less friction, and sustainable business success.
Whether it's crafts, healthcare, logistics, trade, gastronomy, automotive sector... we focus every course on your industry.
Would you like the course to take place at your company? No problem (within a 30 km radius).
Clubs
Sitting together comfortably and chatting, reading, playing games and learning new things, all in English of course. Whether with a good book, a funny film or an exciting game.
Relaxed and without pressure – that's how you learn languages sustainably.
We will choose the book, game, or film together.
Duration 90 minutes, Movie Night approx. 2 hours
Monthly fee €9 per club or become a club member
Club meetings take place once a month, always on Thursdays, alternating between the two dates.
Book Club
Level: from A2
"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.... the man who never reads lives only one." George RR Martin
People who read a lot not only have a much larger vocabulary, but they also live longer. (according to statistics)
Together we not only read thick tomes, but also short stories, comics and song lyrics.
Movie Night
Level: A2+
Watching films in English is almost as effective as taking a vacation in an English-speaking country. But it's all about choosing the right film. Action films usually have very little dialogue. Older films are often easier to understand but have outdated vocabulary. Fantasy films use many invented words.
The right film at the right level: priceless!

Italian, German as a Second Language and Learning Disabilities
DAZ: German as a second language
Level: Starter A1
Starting a new life in a foreign country can be difficult, even daunting. Let me help you. Learning German is your first step, even if you don't live here yet. In online sessions, you can prepare yourself, which makes the transition much easier.
New home, new friends, new customs, new languages. Dealing with authorities, exams, applications... If you want to feel at home in your new country, start with the language.
LRS: Reading and spelling difficulties
Those with dyslexia don't just encounter problems in German class. Almost all subjects are affected. A child with dyslexia often needs more time and has fewer opportunities to complete tasks within the given timeframe. This leads to poor grades and erodes self-confidence. The earlier you begin dyslexia therapy, the greater the impact. I use the Reuter-Liehr method to give you confidence in reading and writing. After an initial assessment, I start where you're struggling. Basic training is followed by rule-based training. By the end of therapy, you'll be able to read and write every word.
This therapy is also suitable for adults.
Italian for Beginners
Level: Starter A1
Knowing Italian has many advantages, aside from wonderful holiday experiences. Italian is based on Latin, and traces of this can be found in German as well as many other languages, especially English. Furthermore, Italian is phonetic, meaning that almost everything is pronounced as it is written. Dai, vieni!
Focus: Pronunciation, basic vocabulary, standard phrases that you can use in a variety of ways.
