Speakeasy office team

Jennifer | Head of School speakeasy berlin west

My goal used to be to visit every single country in the world. I haven't quite managed to do that yet, but I have already travelled to a large number of them. The key to people and culture is language, which is why I am an enthusiastic language learner myself. I am just as happy to pass on this enthusiasm in my German lessons. What is the best way to learn a language? A pleasant atmosphere and above all a lot of fun and humour! Outside of class, I take care of all kinds of projects related to learning German.

Timothy | Student Service & telc Exam Coordination speakeasy west

Hi, I come from Hong Kong and am now a Master student in German as a foreign language in Berlin. After my Bachelor’s studies I worked in the PR field for years. I have been with speakeasy since April 2021, and teach German in private. You can find me at the Front Desk, if you have any questions regarding our language courses.

Nicky | Head of School speakeasy berlin east

Hi, my name ist Nicky and I’m originally from Hessen (middle part of Germany). Before having studied Modern Languages, Cultures and Business with a major in linguistics (English and French), I was an Au-Pair in the US. I have been living in Berlin since 2016 and worked as an educational consultant in different schools. My biggest passion is traveling - I haven't been everywhere yet, but it's on my list. Other than exploring the world, I like reading, hiking and discovering new (vegan) restaurants and cafés. Leading speakeasy Ost means focusing on quality and making sure everything runs smoothly. Above all, I want students to feel comfortable while mastering German in a cozy setting. And equally, I aim to foster a work environment where my wonderful team feels happy and is able to evolve and learn.

Heike | Senior Customer Service Agent

I am German with a penchant towards non-standard. After a long time in Germany, I made my way to India and worked there for many years. I like to travel, enjoy learning new languages, and deal with the respective culture and countries while learning a language, of course with the food as well. Now in Berlin, I will take care of your inquiries and look forward to being in contact with the whole world.

Lara | Course coordination

When I first left Italy to study in Sweden, I would have never imagined to still be living in Berlin 10 years later. It is a privilege to be working with people from different cultures and backgrounds, and it is a pleasure to be coordinating language courses at speakeasy. Every day is a challenge, an adventure! As course coordinator, my focus is on the well-being of our teachers as well as making sure that all courses are taking place successfully. When I am not answering e-mails, you can find me nose deep in a book or haunting my local gym.
