Elena Vasilieva
Magister Artium (M.A.) in German Studies
I have been a certified German teacher in Germany since 2005 and accompany German learners from level A1 to B2, prepare for exams of all levels and also conduct interactive training in grammar and conversation.
My story
I was born and raised in Russia and have always been interested in foreign languages. I am fascinated by the fact that you can learn a foreign language and communicate with people from all over the world, which I find very exciting and enriching.
I started studying German in 1998 and successfully completed my degree in German Linguistics, Pedagogy and Slavic Philology at the Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen in 2004. Since then I have been teaching German as a second language at various schools. In my work, I am constantly developing new projects that make learning languages effective and, above all, fun.
My philosophy
In my lessons, I place particular emphasis on practical and interactive learning and use a variety of teaching methods that allow students to relax and lose their fear of speaking a foreign language.
Role plays, group discussions and multimedia materials as well as psychological support contribute to a varied and motivating learning process.
My aim is to create an open and supportive learning environment in which everyone feels comfortable and enjoys language learning. I am convinced that learning a foreign language opens up new perspectives and can change and expand certain aspects of our personality. After all, along with the foreign language, we also get to know the culture of the people who speak it. Learning a new language strengthens our self-confidence, enriches our thinking and our perception.
It is a process of continuous growth and a valuable enrichment for everyone.
