Who is Ursula?
Ursula – your certified German language teacher. As a former executive, an enthusiast, a traveler, a learner, a teacher, a tutor, a coach, a wife, a mother, a friend, and an ex-pat, she has combined all her passions into her work to help others to learn German and create a great life that her students truly love and enjoy.
What does she believe in?
Moving from Germany in 1997 on a Manager’s Visa, then a Green card, to immigrate to the US in 2007, was a very enriching experience for her, which she believes is a great gift. It is a gift for us and those who are asked, sent to go abroad, who’ve been given the opportunity to learn and teach something new, by growing and sharing our skills and experience. And it is a gift that we give to others – by enriching their lives through our knowledge, different perspective, and personality.
