I grew up in 2 cities: Hamburg, Germany and Austin, Texas. I studied at 2 universities: University of Texas and University of Cologne. I work and live in 2 different cultures. So, I am truly bilingual, and I am also a pioneer at heart. This has given me the ideal background for what I do.

I teach business people the language and communication skills they need to excel and perform in their professional life.

Also, I am curious about people and how they learn best. This was the motor that led me to develop my special teaching methodology and start my own school for business English in 1998 in Cologne.

In my spare time, I do yoga, go out with my dog, ride my bike and look after the ducks, swans and all the other water birds in Cologne.
