About Me
I am a Fashion Designer as much as I am an Instructor
I am very open minded and love to support new ideas
I am artsy but also very much down to earth
I am a strong believer that a garment does not have to start as in flat sketch but can also start as 3-D project

I am currently teaching German on a one on one base through individualized online teaching via zoom or any other online platform. I teach German grammar as well as conversational German and German for business and/or research. Please don't hesitate contact me to find out more about my teachings by asking questions and letting me know about your goals and concerns.
I not only speak German as my mother tongue, but I also have excellent English skills and have taught adults and children in Japan, the USA and France.
While living in Japan, I taught English to biologists of a biotech-company. For this purpose, I prepared current newspaper articles corresponding to the interests of the students and the teaching objectives for the classes.
In class, the students and I used these articles to study the language, discuss the vocabulary and grammar as well as the language style used.
In New York, I did not teach a language, but fashion design at the University (FIT Fashion Institute of Technology, NYC) for several years. All classes were taught in English with the student body consisting of international students, which required detailed preparation of the class. At the High School of Fashion Industries (HSFI), also in NYC, I taught fashion design and creation to students grade 9 - 12. Here too, the lessons were exclusively taught in English. For my teachings, I developed daily detailed lesson plans to not only make sure that the predetermined class goals were easily reached, but also to ensure that the class content was tailored to the students' needs and that a positive learning climate was promoted.
