My teaching in the field of German as a second and foreign language is action-oriented, practical, and tailored to the needs, strengths, and areas for growth of my students. I value a positive and respectful approach to mistakes, viewing them as an essential part of the learning process. Through individualized support, interactive methods, and authenticity, I help learners gain the confidence and skills to use German effectively in everyday life and at work, while also developing into independent, self-directed, and lifelong learners. Sensitivity and mutual respect are, for me, just as essential as linguistic progress.

Transparency, reliability, and continuous reflection are the cornerstones of my university teaching.

Early in my own educational journey, I experienced firsthand how much a clear structure, logical explanations, and transparent expectations can facilitate learning. At the same time, I know from experience how a lack of guidance and support can hinder both personal development and, most importantly, academic progress.

As an instructor, I see my role as that of a guide in the learning process. My goal is to provide students with better conditions for their academic and personal growth than I myself had. This includes reflecting on learning paths together, giving regular feedback, and collaboratively identifying targeted opportunities for improvement.

In my courses, I not only teach academic content but also help students develop skills in self-organization, personal responsibility, communication, and navigating expectations with confidence. Above all, I want my students to gain the subject knowledge, self-confidence, and methodological tools they need to successfully complete their final projects and theses—and to carry these skills into their professional lives. In my experience, reliability and diligence—on both sides—are essential to achieving these goals.
