My name is Lea, and I would love to accompany you on your educational journey! I teach German, English, and various business and environmental subjects. Having lived in Germany, South Africa, the UK, Switzerland, and Hong Kong, my diverse background has given me a unique and multicultural perspective. My lessons always aim to be inclusive, sensitive to cultural differences, and, in group settings, a platform where students can learn from each other's cultural richness.
With a PhD in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, and an undergraduate degree in Hospitality Management with a financial focus, I have extensively trained my communication, presentation, and writing skills. During the four years I spent teaching German in the German language and culture discussion group at a university in Hong Kong, the focus was on improving conversational language skills, thereby enhancing students' confidence in communicating in German. The lesson design I learned from this teaching experience is equally applicable to tutoring in English. Students of varying age groups and backgrounds enhanced the diversity of the group. My position gave me the opportunity to discover ways to integrate various skill levels into my lesson plans to maximise the educational potential for all group members.
I always aim to keep lessons fun and informative, trying to uncover personalized ways to motivate different students. I have also helped prepare candidates for the Deutscholympiade, a speech competition in Hong Kong. Furthermore, working as a teaching assistant at the university has given me valuable insights into presentation techniques, course design, and addressing student concerns. I have also held various teaching jobs during my undergraduate program. As part of an honours society, I tutored groups of students in varying subjects, ranging from Legislation and HR to Statistics. I have also always enjoyed tutoring fellow students one-on-one. Read less
