About us
PROFESSIONAL
Our courses are taught by highly competent teachers with many years of teaching experience.
They are not just teachers, but helpers, friends, guides and supporters for the learners.
As the African proverb says: "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, you have to go with others."
Together we can go far and master even the trickiest aspects of the German language.
We also only use established methods, textbooks and worksheets in our lessons. These have been carefully selected or even newly developed and adapted to the needs of the learners.
HUMAN
Every person is unique. This applies not only to their personality, but also to the way they learn. We value each individual and respond to the needs and wishes of our participants.
We treat everyone like a member of our ever-growing language family!
Our relationships are based on mutual respect, tolerance and acceptance.
We try to treat each person as an individual case and find individual solutions for all issues.
We organize regular meetings for our members outside the school. There, participants from different courses can get to know each other.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
We attach great importance to environmental protection and sustainability. We therefore pay great attention to the economical and conscious use of all resources.
Our whiteboard markers from the edding EcoLine series are made from more than 90% recycled materials. When they are empty, we refill them with special ethanol-based ink that contains no environmentally harmful additives such as butyl acetate.
We use recycled paper in various places, whether for worksheets, in the toilet or for taking notes during lessons.
What comes out of the socket at the accént language school is pure nature! Our LED lamps light up, our computers calculate and our coffee machine runs on green electricity.
OUR TEAM

ANNA DUDIREVA
Founder of the language school accént,
Lecturer for DaF/DaZ
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
Bachelor in Applied Foreign Languages,
Assistance for customer contact
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 exploring 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 Stord University 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
Bachelor of Arts,
Lecturer for DaF/DaZ
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
Bachelor in Linguistics,
Lecturer for DaF/DaZ

JUAN EZEQUIEL VELIZ
Bachelor of Arts,
Lecturer in Spanish and English
En el norte de Argentina Juan vivió treinta años, donde se graduó de profesor de idioma y trabajó en diferentes instituciones. Lleva ya 15 años en la profesión.
Hace cinco años vive en Leipzig y comparte en sus clases de español su lengua y su cultura, lo cual ha encontrado increíblemente gratificante.
Su estilo de enseñanza está impregnado de su personalidad e intenta que en las clases siempre haya humor y variedad de actividades, especialmente juegos, canciones y espacios para compartir historias.
Conoce la ciudad bastante bien, habiendo trabajado de guía turístico. También disfruta todo lo relacionado con comida, gatitos y cine.

ZACHARY HOUSER
TEFL certified,
Lecturer for English
From the student of language school accént to quality English lessons, Zach has made a worthwhile career pivot to excite and charm his students. A passion for people and his patient, personal approach are the soft skills he brings to fun and fulfilling language learning.
You can usually find Zach either biking around the city, playing his bass guitar or lost in the online world of gaming. He also has a knack for saying and expressions in both English and German, and would gladly give you his mustard!
