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 Irene Groißböck

Team leader teachers, German teacher

+ 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.

Nina Schrott, BA MA

German Teacher, Social Media Manager

+ more infoI discovered my passion for teaching through a social project with refugees, which led me to do a coaching course and a master's degree in German as a foreign and a second language. It is important to me to meet learners at eye level and to create a positive, welcoming atmosphere – both in face-to-face sessions and in online courses – in which German is learned with joy and interest and learning blocks can be broken down. I have been teaching at the Deutschothek since 2019 and have also been managing the language school's social media channels since 2025.

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.

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 Ingrid Schweighofer

German teacher

+ more infoIn my groups we learn with and from each other. The focus is on a clear structure of the lessons, a high proportion of real learning time and balanced practice of the 4 skills, while communicating in a meaningful way always has priority. In general, I rely on understandable language and a high degree of task clarity. Supporting individual potential in diverse groups is the biggest challenge in the process. I have been teaching full-time since 2010 and have been at Deutschothek since 2019, with some interruptions. I originally studied Romance languages at the University of Vienna and have been continuing my education ever since.

Stefanie Heinzl, MA

German teacher

+ more infoBorn and raised in Vienna. After studying art history (University of Vienna), she took a detour that led her to Paris, among other places, and came to teaching German in 2021. Likes to focus on the word and how it relates to a text. Loves the improbable questions learners ask about the German language and language in general, and then the moments of understanding that are occasionally expressed with a long drawn-out “Ah”. She also loves leisureliness and the mulberry tree outside her window.
