About Spielingo Studios
Spielingo Studios is an innovative English school that uses individualized teaching methods and interactive games to make lessons fun and educational. My services include English therapy for students with dyslexia, tutoring, courses for adults, game nights, book clubs, exam preparation, and business courses.
I am bilingual (German and English), hold a Bachelor of Arts from Germany, a Master's degree in Science from the US, and a language diploma from Italy. I am CELTA-certified and have additional training as a pronunciation and dyslexia trainer. After 15 years in the USA and 3 years in Italy, I now live back in my hometown of Ahrweiler.
I am trained in working with people with dyslexia (reading and spelling difficulties), auditory processing disorder (APD), and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Through my time abroad, I have gained exposure to many learning methods from around the world and over 30 years of teaching experience. When I'm not teaching, I develop language learning games, create learning materials, and write stories that make it easier for you to understand and use English.
So... what are you waiting for? Sign up for a free trial lesson and see for yourself.
