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
Bachelor of Arts,

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.
Wenn Katrina nicht im Kursraum oder beim Tanztraining ist, schaut sie gerade Netflix. Für eine Diskussion über Serien und Filme ist sie immer zu haben.

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.
