Kursleitung: Barbara Vitrai

I am a CELTA certified English language trainer and I have been teaching English to children and adults in the past 5 years. Having lived and graduated high school in the US, I am a near native speaker of English. I have 4 children, and they all learned English naturally, it is a part of our lives. We have lived in Vienna for over 7 years.

In the 2019/2020 school year, I worked as an English Teacher at a private Montessori school in Vienna. During this time, I completed the AMI Elementary Assistant Course, and made observations in a Montessori classroom.

In the past 2 years, I worked with several children’s groups in three elementary schools, as well as a kindergarten group. In addition, I support children of all ages on their adventures with the English language.

I believe my role in the classroom is to provide a safe environment in which children can thrive and achieve their full potential. Using a wide range of homeschooling material and having needs driven lessons allows young learners to have a positive experience with the new language, while also having fun. To make lessons memorable, I enjoy playing games, singing songs and saying rhymes, reading stories to children, as well as doing arts and crafts.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my children, hiking in Wienerwald, doing yoga or visiting one of the many museums in Vienna.
