OUR TEAM

Anna Dudireva

ANNA DUDIREVA

  • Founder of the language school accént
  • Lecturer for German as a Foreign Language/German as a Second Language (BAMF-certified)
  • Degree in Psychology and in German as a Foreign Language/German as a Second Language
  • Qualified telc examiner for all levels (A1 – C1)

As a trained psychologist and teacher, Anna quickly connects with people. Her many years of professional experience (now over 12 years!) in teaching German at various levels speaks for itself.

Anna is our green fairy at the accént language school. She loves plants and certainly has a green heart instead of a red one.

She also loves languages and her dream is to speak at least four languages (she has already mastered three!).

Anna is very fond of animals. Her heart beats a lot faster when a cat is around. At home, however, she only has one (or only...).

Claire Racine

CLAIRE RACINE

  • Bachelor in Applied Foreign Languages
  • Assistance for customer contact
  • Responsible for telc exams
  • Qualified telc examiner for B1 – B2

Born in France, Claire not only spent a lot of time in her home city of Lyon, but also in England, where she regularly visited some of her family. This led to her interest in traveling and new countries. She has lived in Wales, Norway and now for many years in Germany.

She completed her studies in applied foreign languages in Lyon with a degree in education at the Stord University of Applied Sciences in Norway. She has worked both in office administration and as a foreign language teacher.

When she is not at home with her family, she can usually be found in her garden or pottering in her hobby ceramics workshop.

Elisa Motta

Elisa Motta

  • Bachelor of Arts in German as a Foreign Language/German as a Second Language
  • Lecturer for DaF/DaZ
  • Qualified telc examiner for B1 – B2

Elisa is a true Leipzig native. Quite clichéd, she wanted to become a teacher even as a little girl. During a stay abroad in Italy, she discovered her love of travel and languages. She therefore combined these interests in her studies at Leipzig University and studied German as a foreign language and Italian studies.

Elisa has now been teaching for almost 10 years. She attaches great importance to a relaxed learning atmosphere in which everyone can contribute their ideas and wishes. This makes the lessons informal and interactive. 

In her free time, she loves to be out and about in nature and playgrounds, discovering new locations in the city... The main thing is to be surrounded by family, dog and friends.

Robin Ortlepp

Robin Ortlepp

  • Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics
  • Lecturer for German as a Foreign Language/German as a Second Language
Robin's passion for languages knows no bounds - in addition to German and English, he also speaks Japanese and has had contact with many other languages such as French, Russian, Hausa and Basque through his studies.
 
For Robin, languages are like little puzzles that need to be solved. Proverbs, idioms and the many dialects and language variations of German particularly fascinate him - and he enjoys sharing this enthusiasm with his students.
 
Outside of lessons, you'll often meet him in the world of board or video games. Whether it's pen & paper games or skat, he's up for anything!
