Past experience in Germany
Experience in other countries
In my teaching, I pass on my many years of experience and professional know-how. I also seek to strengthen students' skills and knowledge, thereby giving them the opportunity to grow professionally, exchange ideas with other classmates and experts, as well as broaden their professional and academic horizons.
