Teaching & Education

Education Background

I went to school in Romania but I went to a German school in Romania, meant for the German minority there, so I studied all the subjects in German. However, I have forgotten a lot and have trouble finding my words in that language. I'd love to study more about how to help students with learning difficulties and with social integration difficulties cope with school.
