My name is Pauline Wolfenden and I have a vast experience of teaching German. My interest in Germany, the country and its language, really started when I stayed for a short time with a pen-friend near Frankfurt when I was fifteen. Fired with enthusiasm I went on to study German at London University and the University of Tübingen, in Germany. This study was followed by a teaching qualification (PGCE) in modern languages at Goldsmiths College, London. Although I have taught German in schools, I have specialised in teaching adults, and have taught German at all levels in Adult Education, where I have also been responsible for curriculum management, planning courses and supporting tutors. I have also provided training in several large international companies, where I have successfully taught German to employees at all levels, from those employed on the shop-floor to the managing director.
