Need help with a multilingual event?

There are two main types of interpreting

  • Consecutive Interpreting – the speaker talks a couple of minutes and translation is rendered afterwards
  • Simultaneous Interpreting – the interpreter translates what the speaker says in real time

Especially for simultaneous interpreting, certain tech is required for smooth interpreting. The tech requirements are unique to the type of event and setting it takes place.

If you don’t know what type of interpreting suits your purpose best or you need a team of professional interpreters, I am happy to advise you.

When training as an interpreter, everybody faces different challenges, because communication is tied to our psyche. I can help you find out what your personal hurdles are and advise you with appropriate training methods on how to overcome them.

German Tutoring

The way how language is taught in school traditionally doesn’t agree with most people, and neither did it with me. Throughout my time at college and now in professional life, I have devised my own approach based on learning that I consider more natural and more engaging.

As human beings we learn through stories and experiences, not through stale vocab lists. Therefore my classes are based on engaging with culture and storytelling. So just the things that truly bring language to life.

Another important aspect you will find integrated in my classes is going bit by bit and continuously reviewing them. As a foreign language learner, this is difficult to do, as you are sitting on the other end. Let someone who sees the bigger picture really take care of your learning curve by not only teaching you new things, but also nurturing them over time.

What you’ll get out of tutoring sessions

  • Non-traditional engaging methods of learning German through storytelling from the great Austrian-Hungarian empire to alpine pagan customs
  • Grammar and vocab learned in context, naturally
  • Space for creativity while learning
  • Continuously reviewing and nurturing what you have learned to consolidate skills
  • Tailored classes
