About

I founded LingoMinds to offer personalized German and English learning support for children, teens and adults. Through one-on-one classes, school support and online learning resources, LingoMinds helps students build clarity, confidence and independence in their language learning journey. Before founding LingoMinds, I studied and worked as a physiotherapist, an experience that shaped my understanding of individual support, patience and human development. Over time, my lifelong connection with languages grew into my teaching path, leading me to specialize in German and English education.
