A powerful blend of time-tested teaching methods and cutting-edge technology that will completely transform how you approach and master the German language.
More than just passionate, Anna is a certified Telc examiner, making her a true German language expert.

Over a decade of experience teaching German to expats in Vienna and Zurich has given her a deep understanding of the unique challenges and goals faced by learners adapting to a new environment. She can anticipate the roadblocks you might encounter and provide the targeted support you need to succeed.
Beyond the classroom, Anna’s wanderlust led her on a digital nomad adventure.

This means you’ll learn German through real-life scenarios and interactive activities, focusing on communication and fluency from day one. Get ready to ditch mindless memorization and embrace a dynamic learning experience that will have you speaking German with confidence!
When she’s not meticulously crafting dynamic lessons or conquering new languages herself, you might find her exploring a new city, soaking up its culture and hidden gems. Or, you might spot her curled up in a cozy cafe, not just indulging in a good book, but perhaps picking up a few new phrases in another language.
