My name is Christina Divendal and I am ready to work for you as a German teacher or as an educational author.
Born and raised in Vienna, I have lived and worked in the Netherlands for more than twenty years.
At the University of Vienna I completed my studies in French and English linguistics and literature. I obtained my teaching qualifications for German, French and English at the University of Amsterdam. Thanks to a distance learning course at the University of Kassel and training courses at the Goethe Institut Amsterdam, I have increasingly specialised in German as a foreign language.
I have broad educational experience: from lessons for young people to adults, from individual lessons to group lessons, lessons for private purposes to business German. At the moment I mainly focus on online lessons and language walks.
As an educational author I also have many years of experience. I have been writing teaching material for various Dutch publishers and institutes. I also have a number of grammar and vocabulary books to my name and I am co-author of several German secondary courses.
Languages are my passion. That is why I keep learning a foreign language myself. A useful side-effect of this is that I also know the other side of the learning process. So I know from my own experience what it takes to master a new language or to maintain the language level achieved. Moreover, I am aware that motivating and good teaching material can make a big difference.
It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I pass on my knowledge and expertise to you through my one-man business interlingua.
I look forward to meeting you!
