Teachers in the German classes

In class the dedicated teachers help you to successfully learn German and to quickly improve your German skills.

Some of our teachers introduce themselves:

Mag.a Julia Galimova, BA

German teacher, team leader, recruiter, specialist for interdisciplinary language education, examiner

+ more infoAs a certified DaF/DAZ teacher (University of Vienna) and art and design educator (University of Applied Arts Vienna) I teach grammar, vocabulary as well as various means of expression using interdisciplinary methods and humour. Thanks to the trained eye and ear as an examiner I always make sure that language skills are properly trained. I have gained several years of experience as a teacher at higher secondary schools, in adult education and teachers’ education in addition to conducting German language examinations in Austria and abroad. I have been teaching at the Deutschothek since 2016.

Mag.a Irene Groißböck

German teacher, specialist for exams and exam preparation

+ more infoIn my lessons it is most important to me that the participants learn a lot in a nice, relaxed atmosphere and use the language in situations that are as close to reality as possible. Learning German and of course grammar should be fun, this is crucial for motivation. I also want to take away the learners' fear of making mistakes, because you can learn a lot from mistakes. I studied German with a focus on German as a foreign language and have years of experience teaching German abroad. I have been teaching at the Deutschothek since 2017.

Ursula Hochauer

German teacher

+ more infoFrom theory to practice! From textbook to life: We learn together and from each other in a relaxed atmosphere. We talk about topics from our everyday life and exchange our opinions respectfully. With music and current videos in German, lessons never get boring. Creative language games provide variety. New grammar and vocabulary are actively trained in a playful way. Individual support for learning success and motivation through group dynamics is always in focus. I am trained as a trainer for German as a foreign language and have been teaching at the Deutschothek since 2015.

Martina Bohrn, BA MA

German teacher

+ more infoI find a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, in which the learners feel both comfortable and safe, extremely important. This is the only way to make learning fun and the group gets the feeling that it is absolutely natural and allowed to make mistakes and to learn from them afterwards. I focus not only on communicative, interactive and creative exercises, but also on authentic language and linguistic peculiarities of (Austrian) German. Variety and a certain degree of learner autonomy are also important to me in my teaching. I have a university education (including a master's degree in German as a foreign and second language) and have been teaching at the Deutschothek since January 2019.

Mag.a Sandra Monte

German teacher

+ more infoIn my classes I think it's important to support and encourage people in their linguistic advancement. The focus is on useful content for everyday (professional) life and topics that are based on the realities of life of the participants. A varied class with a lot of empathy, respect, know-how and humor is important to me. It is allowed to make mistakes and by experimenting with the language the fear of the (error-free) use of the language is to be alleviated. I am a certified DaF/DAZ teacher (University of Vienna) and studied linguist. I have several years of teaching experience in Italy and at the International Office of WU Vienna. I have been teaching at the Deutschothek since 2021.

Mag.a Mirjana Malovic

German teacher, specialist for business and legal German

+ more infoIn my teaching, I attach great importance to linking the content of the lessons with the realities of my participants' lives - theory and practice always go hand in hand for me, as what is learnt should above all be applied in everyday and professional life. I am a qualified linguist and certified trainer for German as a second and foreign language and have been teaching at the Deutschothek since July 2019.
