Hi! I am Larissa, I am 29 years old and originally from Frankfurt, Germany. I've been traveling and living abroad for over 5 years now and am currently living in Costa Rica. I love meeting people from all over the world, exploring other cultures and countries. Language learning is another passion of mine. I am perfectly fluent in English, I speak Spanish and am currently learning French and Italian. Aside from that I have a Bachelor's degree in communication science, journalism and sociology.

Me as a Teacher
Since moving abroad in 2019, I have been teaching German as a foreign language via video chat or in face-to-face sessions. My students come from all over the world, from various age groups and have different skill levels. I really enjoy meeting people and teaching them my native language. It is important to me to create a friendly and judge-free atmosphere for my students where they feel comfortable just speaking and asking questions.
My lessons & teaching style
I like to work with a variety of free online sources but am also open to work with any material that my students bring to class. Depending on your skill level, we might start at the very beginning, dig into some grammar, do listening, reading and/or conversational practices. The structure of the class is very flexible and according to the student's skill level and requirements.
