Ivana - Southampton tutor






Information About Ivana:


Personal Description:

I graduated from University of Vienna with a M. Phil in Teaching German Language and completed my Undergraduate degree in German Language and Literature from the University of Belgrade. I am currently involved in a part-time PhD research in German Philology at the Institute of German Studies, University of Vienna, Austria.
For the past 10 years I have been working as a Secondary and Primary German Language Teacher and as a lecturer in Further/Adult Education. During my MA Thesis in Vienna I also completed an internship at the Language Centre of the University of Vienna.
As a qualified German Language teacher and tutor I design and plan every lesson for each student individually. Depending on student's current level of German and his/her goals I always take into account individual learning style, needs and interests. I can help with controlled assessment, exam preparation or general improvement of your language skills.
