Hi, there! My name is Bella and I ... am a teacher, obviously, but I'm also a language learner myself. I'm sure my professional and personal experience will be helpful to those who are on their way to become confident speakers.
Currently I live in Germany and work with refugees. I teach German and also learn a lot from my students. There as well as in my personal life I try to show practical solidarity with people who were forced to leave their country.
Apart from languages I enjoy travelling, hiking, music, yoga, reading and spending time with my friends and family :)Me as a Teacher
The thing which makes my teaching helpful is that I pay attention not only to the lesson itself, but also to the preparation and follow-up tasks which you can receive as a homework assignments. As I work as a teacher in everyday life too, I know how important it is to consider different aspects of methodology and language learning and acquisition such as spaced repetition, student talking time, different kinds of approaches, i.e., lexical, and other.
I see learning a language through the lens of a learner as well. I fluently speak 3 languages and am at the moment learning 2 more!My lessons & teaching style
I always strive to make every single lesson efficient, so that you really feel that you've learned something. In our classes we'll engage in all sorts of activities from watching Vox pops to discussing culture.
I always seek to indicate topics which give my students a hard time. It is a challenge for me to help you understand something you weren't able to understand before.
I try to dedicate equal amounts of time to all four aspects of language learning and, of course, strive to make it fun!My teaching material

We had serious problems with the internet, but that was nobody's fault. Bella is helping me move to new tenses this week.
