Work History

Online English Trainer

Freelancer

As a freelance English trainer, I specialize primarily in teaching English to native German speakers, with a strong focus on IT English, Business English, company-specific English training, Abitur/Matura preparation, exam preparation, and professional communication skills. My services are offered online to learning institutes, language schools, companies, retraining providers, and private clients in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and beyond.

With more than 25 years of experience, I have created and delivered tailored English training content for approximately 100 companies, educational institutions, and private clients. My work includes specialized courses in IT English, Business English, academic English, and exam preparation, as well as customized training for professional retraining programs and industry-specific workplace communication.

I have partnered with a wide range of educational providers and institutions, including Oxford School for English, Rampitsch, GFN, and others. While my training is especially designed for German-speaking learners, I also support international learners and organizations that require flexible, practical, and goal-oriented English training.

In addition to live online instruction, I support continuous and lifelong learning through personalized online learning gateways, custom learning materials, and digital resource collections. These tools help learners continue practicing before, during, and after lessons.

I also bring long-standing experience in virtual world language learning through Virtlantis, a virtual world language learning community I initiated in 2006. Virtlantis provides opportunities for immersive language practice, teacher collaboration, community-based learning, and creative e-learning experiences. The project is currently being reconceptualized and expanded to attract new learners, teachers, and educational partners.

My broader expertise includes e-learning content development, online learning community management, virtual learning environments, mobile-supported training, and custom English course design for diverse professional, academic, and technical contexts.
