Allgäu brand

Partner of the Allgäu brand

Rooted in the Allgäu, Germany. Open to the world.

My language school has been at home in the Allgäu since 2010. Today, I am also a partner of the regional brand “Marke Allgäu”, which shows my close ties to the region.

I teach people and companies from the Allgäu and from all over the world, mostly online.

Language learning with heart and experience

I have been teaching German as a foreign language and English since 2010, first in person at my language school in the Allgäu and today mostly online. As a state-certified, publicly appointed and sworn translator, I know what really matters when it comes to language.

My lessons are personal and practical and, as my students tell me, full of joy and fun.
