About me
I am fascinated by languages and I love teaching German, my mother tongue. Learning German can and should be fun! I want my students to progress in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. Don’t worry about making mistakes! They are part of the process.

„Tonja was a wonderful teacher. Her classes were really fun and engaging. […].
She was great at adapting to the every student’s level and needs - in her class nobody would
feel lagging behind or abandoned.
She was also great at managing to simplify the German she speaks
in class just enough to be understandable by students - even in the beginners’ class. And her
enthusiasm for students’ progress was inspiring.“ Ihar M.
