About 👋

Hello!

I am Paula, a mum of 3 children (aged 11, 4 & 2) who are growing up multilingual.

After my studies, I worked as a teacher for German as a foreign language in adult education. I taught various language courses from A0- C1. There was the standard language course, but also conversation courses, writing courses, exam preparations and one-to-one tuition. I also offered German coaching at a vocational school for nursing professions.

After the birth of my two youngest children, it quickly became clear that I would not be able to go back into my profession as before. My job is my vocation, so I looked for ways to combine my professional and private life.

My offer "Learn German and your child is with you" starts here. I can organise my courses and one-to-one lessons individually, coordinate them with the parents and hopefully do something good for the families with my work.

I have experienced in a wide variety of contexts how important linguistic competence is for social, cultural and professional participation. Especially the sensitive time with a baby and toddler often represents a turning point in parents' lives (also) from a linguistic perspective. The hurdles become higher, expectations increase, unprepared situations have to be mastered.

It is therefore a matter close to my heart to provide an offer here.

Offerings ❤️

View Paula's services and/or packages

In addition to language classes for small groups of parents that I offer at the family center (see events below), I also offer 1:1 lessons or exam preparation for parents with children.

With this offer, there is no need to find childcare. Instead, I teach the parents in a familiar environment while the child is present. You can also join together and be taught by me as a small group.

Prices for online classes start at €25 and in-person at €30. Please contact me for exact prices as it depends on where you live, how many people join the lesson and if a child is present or not.

Insurance Coverage

Many of our guide's services are covered by insurance. Please check with your insurance provider to see if you are covered.

If you are receiving unemployment benefits (ALG1 oder ALG2) then private languages classes with your child present can be covered by an education voucher.

My studies and my personal life took me abroad, so in addition to travellng around the world, I also lived in Israel and Morocco for a long time.
