Our teachers are looking forward to meeting you!

Simone

"Only where you were on foot, there you really were", said Goethe. I have made this quote my motto because I am on the move every day, not only physically but also mentally. My name is Simone and I come from Italy. My whole life is a journey that has led me to love the German language. When I studied German and English in Italy, I came closer to the German language. I have been living in Germany for eight years now, where I was able to deepen my knowledge through the Erasmus programme and by studying German Studies in Jena. Along the way, I taught Italian and later German as a foreign language at the adult education centre. It was then that I realised that teaching foreign languages was my passion. As a foreigner, I always wanted to teach others the language so that they could find their way and enjoy their destination in Germany as much as I did.

Janne

Hello, I am Janne. I studied German and linguistics in Hamburg and Erfurt. My fascination for languages then led me to Speakeasy in April 2023. Having fun while learning languages is especially important to me in my courses! When I'm not in the classroom, you can usually find me sitting in the sun somewhere with an exciting book.

Sarah

Hello! My name is Sarah and I have been working at speakeasy in Hamburg since 2021, at first only as a proctor for the telc exams, but now also as a teacher. Since my childhood, I have been fascinated by the world of languages and that's how I finally ended up at speakeasy after studying Slavic studies in Heidelberg and Hamburg. As a teacher, I am now happy to share my passion for languages with you and to help you on your way through the language learning process.
