ANNA DUDIREVA
Founder of accént language school,
Lecturer in DaF/DaZ

As a trained psychologist and educator, Anna quickly connects with people. Her many years of professional experience (already 10 years!) in teaching German at different 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 master at least four languages (she has already managed three!).

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

CHRISTIAN OEHLENBERG

Lecturer for DaF/DaZ

Christian has studied foreign languages and is therefore valued for his competent performance in class.

He creates a relaxed atmosphere at our language school. Have you seen his entire collection of memes and videos?

He builds and crafts everything you can imagine (but also what you could never imagine!).

Ecological? Christian writes it in capital letters. He simply doesn't know any other way.

KATRINA BADAWI
Master of Arts,
Lecturer for DaF/DaZ

Katrina knew from the age of 15 that she wanted to be a German teacher.

At that time she learned Korean with different tandem partners and discovered the fun of teaching. 

She hasn't lost that to this day and brings that joy into the classroom with lots of language games and a relaxed atmosphere.

When Katrina isn't in the classroom or at dance practice, she's watching Netflix. She's always up for a discussion about series and movies.

ELISA MOTTA
Bachelor of Arts,
Lecturer for DaF/DaZ

Elisa is a true Leipzig native. Even as a little girl, she wanted to become a teacher. During a stay abroad in Italy, she discovered her love for travel and languages. Therefore, she combined these interests in her studies at the University of Leipzig and studied German as a Foreign Language and Italian Studies.

In the meantime, Elisa has been teaching for almost 10 years. She attaches great importance to a relaxed learning atmosphere in which everyone is allowed to contribute their ideas and wishes. This makes the lessons familiar and interactive

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

FRÉDÉRIC BALMÈS
Master of Arts,
Lecturer for DaF/DaZ

Frédéric studied German, English and literary translation in Aix-en-Provence, Leipzig and Strasbourg. As a translator, he has already been able to use his language skills and his joy of juggling languages in many fields.
 
Along the way, he also discovered teaching at an early age, and language teaching has been a central part of his professional life ever since. His personal ultimate goal? To show that grammar doesn't have to be so scary after all, and can even be fun!
