📖 Bio : I have been teaching at Ecolint for nearly 20 years, and I often support the German Department, primarily as an IB MYP teacher. Originally from Austria, I enjoy helping students maintain and improve their German language skills, which is particularly relevant in Switzerland. As I mainly teach at the High School level, I also enjoy giving private German lessons to Primary School students, as it allows me to stay connected with younger learners.
