FOCUS AREAS
Throughout my academic journey, I acquired the skills to teach and explain German to learners of all ages—children, teenagers, adults, and the elderly. I specialized in developing teaching materials, crafting lesson plans, and employing various didactic techniques and pedagogical theories.
Personally, I derive great satisfaction from explaining grammar and engaging in meaningful interactions with my students, witnessing their improvement firsthand. Teaching German since 2020, I found my vocation which fulfills me every day.
My academic pursuits also encompassed:
Psycholinguistics and Second Language Acquisition
Theories and processes of language acquisition, particularly in the context of learning a second language.
Grammar and Syntax:
In-depth knowledge of German grammar structures and syntax rules relevant to learners from different language backgrounds.
Phonetics and Pronunciation:
Training in correct pronunciation of sounds, stress patterns, and intonations in German.
Use of Digital Media and Technologies in Language Teaching
Empowering students to learn languages through interactive, engaging, and innovative digital tools that foster real-world communication skills.
Personality
I am a happy, positive, calm, yet driven, patient, and funny person. I’m always up for a good laugh and enjoy jokes—humor is important to me. I maintain a positive mindset and can easily find the bright side of almost everything. Having fun is something I value greatly, which I incorporate into my daily life, even while following my daily to-do’s.
I deeply value the human connections in my life and have a close bond with my family and friends. I’m a sociable person who enjoys communication and togetherness, so I try to organize gatherings with friends and family as often as possible.
I would describe myself as attentive, interested, curious, reflective, empathetic, strong, determined, structured, organized, understanding, consistent, sensitive, and joyful.
In my free time, I enjoy going to the beach, soaking up the sun, swimming, snorkeling, and reading while sunbathing. I find peace and calmness in yoga, with Ashtanga being my favorite style. The challenging mix of strength, flexibility, and balance floods my body with serenity and clears my mind.
Scuba diving is another activity I really enjoy. Being underwater, in general, gives me a sensation of amazement, feeling alive, happy, and peaceful.
Another hobby of mine is contemporary dance. I started dancing at the age of six, and ever since, it’s been my best mood booster. I dance whenever I can, and every time, it fills my body and mind with dopamine, purifies my energy, leaving me with a liberated smile.
Rock climbing is another challenging and fun activity I like to do in my free time.
Hiking in green, lush nature is a weekend activity that also helps me recharge.
