Not yet being able to properly express your thoughts in English does not mean that your thoughts are not complex and interesting, so it is frustrating when learning material seems to imagine that you are much simpler than you are.
These courses and the choice of current Berlin-based cultural material are designed considering the intelligent adults of all ages and cultural and professional backgrounds who visit these courses which can never be the same as the last.
I am using my experience to the best of my ability to increase your confidence and skills to help you communicate your thoughts better and to have a positive social and cultural experience while learning.. My experience includes studying art in Mexico, San Francisco, and finishing in the Rebecca Horn Class at the UdK, with a Master's degree, and nearly 28 years experience teaching English, and having been a local language learning immigrant myself 3 times throughout half of my life. In live courses we will also be connecting to benefitting from city around us and what is currently on offer to be sure we will be inspired and intellectually stimulated in the process.
All of my courses are inclusive and safe spaces where everyone is welcome and all participants are expected to treat one another with respect. Diversity really enriches these courses.

English course exploring the many cultural opportunities of Berlin
Developing skills at communicating without the cultural misunderstandings that divide us, is about more than simply learning a linguistic system and new words. What better learning environment is there than a city so rich in culture and diversity, like Berlin?
In this course, we explore some of the many exhibitions in museums, galleries, and the streets of our city. Participants help choose from current viewing options, so every course is a new adventure.
Language work, pronunciation and vocabulary building revolve around relevant exhibition texts, simultaneously broadening our knowledge of what we see. This is a valuable course for all who wish to develop communication skills and gain perspective.
