Guten Tag!
Ich bin Viola und möchte Ihnen dabei helfen, dass das Deutsch lernen für Sie ein Vergnügen wird!
My name is Viola and my passion is teaching – with me you will enjoy learning German!
My credentials:
- more than 20 years of experience in teaching and tutoring
- multilingual expert in learning languages (mother tongue German, English like mother tongue, Russian, Latin, Hebrew, some Spanish, Ladino and Yiddish)
- experience and knowledge in studying, traveling and moving/immigrating to Germany
- Historian and Language Teacher
- German expat with experience in re-inventing yourself in a new country
My professional career:
Already while I was still at school, I tutored my first students in German language: I worked with asylumseekers and their children. Later, while I studied History, Hebrew and Russian at University, I taught immigrants in Berlin. After that I studied Pedagogics and specialized in Teaching German and English as foreign languages. This was in a multi-cultural setting in Stuttgart together with fellow students from around the world. Finally I worked as a Language Teacher at a School in Nohfelden-Walhausen, close to the French Border. Eventually, I moved back to Southern Germany, where I was born and my familiy still lives. I settled in Munich and worked for a Russian Travel agency. On the one hand, I helped Russians to prepare for their trips to Germany: vacations, business and also medical tourism (e.g. if they wanted to get first-class medical treatment in Germany and needed somebody to organize it for them and to translate their health documents). On the other hand, our customers were Germans who wanted to travel to Russia and Eastern Europe. In addition to that, I provided Language Tutoring in Munich and got a qualification as a City Tourguide.
