Advice and help with problems in reading and writing for native speakers

 In the "Bunten Haus" Freiberg I am your contact person for counseling sessions in the area of literacy, you are welcome to either make an appointment or drop by during my open office hours on Tuesdays from 09:00 -12:00 am. I am also happy to help you with filling out documents or other everyday hurdles in the area of "reading & writing". Through close cooperation with the Coordination Office for Literacy in Saxony, I can also provide you with various contacts to certified course offerings. It is very likely that you are a relative or friend of someone who is illiterate. I depend on their help and mediation, because of course illiterate people in Germany lack access to information for help offers in this area.

Low-threshold German courses / German as a foreign language

You are new in Freiberg, are just trying to learn the German language and are not yet in an integration course? Then I invite you to participate in one of my low-threshold German courses. At the moment you have the choice between 2 courses, on Mondays or Fridays from 9:30-11:00 am. The participants are currently mainly from Afghanistan or Ukraine, but the courses are open to everyone, regardless of nationality, gender or religious affiliation. At the same time I would like to be a confidant for you, who also supports you with applications, documents or everyday questions about health and education. However, the courses take place without childcare, so they would have to have their children already in crèche, kindergarten or school.

Homework help

For children 10 years and older, I offer homework help every Wednesday from 03:00 - 05:00 pm, but this is done in a group and is not possible individually. If you are interested, please come in person with your child so that we can get to know each other and I can take their contact information for any emergencies. Your child must be able to independently bring the class materials that he/she needs help with. He/she must also be able to work independently for short periods of time with guidance. I am not a teacher, so I do not have any special qualifications, but I offer a place to go for concentrated, cordial and patient learning and understanding.
