As a Language and Culture Coach my mission is to help you navigate difficulties in either English or German (though I have also taken on Hungarian and French). If you have ever had a bad learning experience in either language, felt that you are stuck somehow and can’t seem to move beyond a certain point, or if you are looking for a holistic approach to immersing yourself in the language and truly understanding it through its literature, art, and culture, please do not hesitate to reach out, via the contact form below. Equally, if you are interested in raising awareness around Holocaust survival, please also do not hesitate to get in touch.
I have successfully unblocked clients from what they deemed impossible since 1995, and have equally successfully prepared adults, children, and teenagers for a move abroad to Germany, USA, UK, France, Finland, Poland, and Hungary. My success comes from building on what you already know and tailoring each session to your individual needs. My clients tend to come primarily from a TCK / CCK background, though if this does not apply to you, please don’t feel left out and feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
I teach through the languages listed below, and also advise on cultural differences and education when moving to and from Germany, Poland, Hungary, Finland, UK, USA, and France. My experience is firsthand and comes from a combination of having lived in the countries listed combined with ethnic heritage in some cases.
At present all sessions are held online.

English
