AND THIS IS OUR
WONDERFUL TEAM!

All of our teachers are native speakers specializing in different academic fields. Our different backgrounds help us provide a flexible and open minded approach to language teaching. We teach with heart and mind and are always open for new ways to work with language, but never lose sight of what’s essential to language learners.

Claudia

has always been passionate about language. Whether studying English and History, living in Florence, working as a copywriter or when traveling – she dropped the Berlin dialect early on and practiced foreign accents instead. Through her work with refugees, she discovered her passion for German as a foreign/second language. After two years and further training, she started teaching at Transmitter and supports the office team in organizational and editorial matters. She has a heart for ‚Kiez’ flair, curiosities and Berlin’s cultural and musical landscape.

Mechi

originally comes from the charming „Ruhrpott“ but has now moved to Berlin for the third time. After completing her master’s degree (German as a Foreign Language) at FU, she combined her passion for traveling with her profession as a DaF teacher and moved to Denmark. There, she taught German at the University of Copenhagen for two years and developed projects on foreign language teaching together with her students. She brought her love for ice bathing, cycling, and cinnamon buns with her to Berlin and spends as much time as possible at lakes, by the sea, or in the swimming pool. She is also always up for a game of table tennis or a dance night.

In addition to the local forests, she also likes to explore the world on her days off, always carrying her camera and e-book reader with her.

Francesco

grew up in Emilia, Italy, where he was fed delicious tortellini, lasagne and tigelle. Divided between theater and foreign languages, he opted for the latter and first studied interpreting and later German as a foreign language in Berlin. He could hardly survive without wine, books and jazz music.

What our students say about us:

”I have done three courses with Transmitter and I couldn’t be happier. The combination of classes with a lot of group conversations (and fun games), create the right atmosphere to learn German in enjoyable and interesting way. Their teachers are friendly and always happy to help. I recommend this school to all my friends. - Bianca A. (2023)”

”Truly the best language school, with smart and caring instructors. I've taken a diverse array of classes: online and in-person, beginner and middle-advanced, with five different teachers. With TRANSMITTER I'm always excited to go to school. I am so thankful to them for helping me improve my German. Will always enthusiastically recommend. - Dana M. (2023)”

”I took a 4 weeks intensive German class with Transmitter and loved it! My fellow classmates were really nice and eager to learn, Vu our teacher is great, very patient and friendly. The class really helped me improve my skills and feel more confident in speaking so I decided to extend for another 4 weeks. I’d highly recommend this school as the price and quality are really good! - Anais C. (2023)”

”Best language school in town. Katja is a great teacher and will help you with any question you may have. The school atmosphere is very nice, lots of great encounters there. I 100% recommend :) - Penélope de M. (2023)”

”This is a great and welcoming place to study! Small classes allow a more personalized experience and the teachers are so kind and invested. This school was recommended by an expat friend of mine who recently moved to Berlin and I will continue to pass along the recommendation! I plan to take as many courses as I can here, they're wonderful. - Taylor U. (2023)”

”A really lovey place to learn German. The teachers are truly amazing, the classes are super nice, cosy and modern. I have made lots of new friends along the way too which is amazing. I’ve recommended this place to so many people, it’s such a wonderful school and I’m so happy to be part of the class. Learning German has always been absolutely awful for me, (...) until I joined this school. I look forward to the class every morning. Thank you so much! 🙏🏼🥹 - Sorcha H. (2023)”

”Absolutely the best course in Berlin. I’ve tried some before, but they are all extremely boring, only following the book and not really interested in trying anything new to help with the learning process. Transmitter cares about making thorough reviews of the content, every class there’s a bit of a review of what we have learned. This is extremely important to help fixating the content. Besides, it’s always very dynamic and you don’t get tired of the subject. There are games and activities developed specially for every content. Another great thing is that every teacher there is incredibly good. - Manoela (2023)”

”I have done two courses at Transmitter now and I have always found the teachers to be encouraging and enthusiastic and thorough. You will also meet some great people when you attend a class at Transmitter. I can't recommend this school highly enough! - Alan M. (2023) ”
