The speakeasy spirit is equally important to our office team, who, above all, is here to make your life easier as a student here. Whether you're at the stage of booking a course, or perhaps before that you need advice about getting a visa to come to Germany, or once you've started your class you need help after missing a lesson – our staff will help you!
We have already helped many students learn German and other languages and assisted with all sorts of issues along the way, so don't be afraid to come talk to us or drop us an email if we can possibly be of service.
The team is truly international and speaks German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Cantonese, Chinese and Portuguese!

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.
