Gerda has a master's degree in English Philology and Linguistics. Her personality can be defined in three words - responsible, humane and self-critical. English is considered a lingua franca - it helps to communicate on a global scale, so it occupies a very important place in Gerda's life. In her spare time, Gerda is interested in movies (especially science fiction), video games, drawing and is always trying to learn something new! She believes that the most important part of teaching is understanding student's needs and capabilities, so the teacher must be able to choose the most optimal teaching methods - this is exactly what she aims to ensure for each of her students. Most importantly - you don't need to be afraid to make mistakes or ask questions - these are important steps towards progress. Gerda is looking forward to mastering the world's greatest weapon - language - with you!
