Imagine: you start speaking German without worrying about grammar...
Sounds like a dream? I'm a certified German teacher with warm personality and contagious smile who will guide you through this linguistic journey!
Hey, my name is Julia! I'm a German teacher, and a genuinely happy person because I'm living my dream life. However, the path to my dream was quite long.
I was born in Russia, and back then, I could have never imagined that one day I would live in another country. Ever since my childhood, I've been fascinated by languages. That's why I decided to study them with a focus on teaching. This passion led me to pursue a Bachelor's degree in German Studies and Pedagogics.
While completing my studies, I was incredibly grateful to win the DAAD Scholarship, which allowed me to study at Saarland University in Germany. Living and learning in Germany was an amazing opportunity to fully immerse myself in the language and culture.
After graduating, I felt driven to challenge myself by striving for native-level proficiency in German. Preparing for the Goethe C2 certificate exam while working long hours was an uphill battle. But through discipline and hard work over two intense months, I was overjoyed to finally earn that certification. It was a humbling journey that reminded me with dedication, even ambitious goals are achievable.
