As a freelance English trainer, I primarily specialize in teaching English to native German speakers, focusing on IT English, Business English, Company-Specific English, Abitur/Matura English, Exam Preparation, and more. My services are offered online to learning institutes, language schools and companies worldwide.
With over 20 years of experience, I have developed tailored content for approximately 100 companies, educational institutions, and private clients across Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. My expertise includes creating and delivering targeted courses in IT English and exam preparation for Abitur and Matura, partnering with institutes like Oxford School for English, Rampitsch, GFN, and others. Primarily catering to native German speakers, though not exclusively, I support ongoing learning through free access to Virtlantis, a virtual world language learning platform I initiated in 2006. Virtlantis will be reconceptualized, rebooted, and expanded in 2025 to attract new language learning and teaching enthusiasts. Additionally, I create and maintain online learning gateways to promote continual and lifelong learning. I offer extensive experience in content creation and custom English training for diverse industries, including retraining programs and advanced e-learning solutions.
