A Bit About Me
I am an enthusiastic educator who not only possesses a deep understanding of the German language but also empathizes with the challenges students face when learning a new language. As a passionate native German speaker with a Master's degree in Educational Studies (expected in June 2024) and a Bachelor's in German Language and Literature, along with firsthand experience navigating the complexities of language acquisition, I bring a unique perspective to the classroom. With a background in supporting special needs students and a degree in Occupational Therapy, I am adept at creating inclusive and supportive learning environments.

Cultivating relationships with 106 students, I provided personalized support, fostering a positive atmosphere where each student felt valued and empowered. Implementing tailored instructional strategies, I ensured that every learner's unique needs were met, whether they had a 504 plan, an IEP, or were ESL learners. It is a fulfilling experience to contribute to their growth and development, and I am eager to continue making a difference in the lives of students through education.
