Profilo di Nadin Mai

Hi,

my name is Nadin. I'm a private tutor and freelance researcher with roots in Germany. Since 2007, however, I've been living abroad - first in Scotland (United Kingdom) for eight years, then briefly in Belgium, and now I'm living with my cat and my husband in the West of France. 

My original background is Film Studies and I've been writing about "Slow Cinema" for ten years now. Since 2018, I've been working as a festival programmer for the Slow Film Festival (UK) and I published my first monograph, "Human Condition(s) - An aesthetic of cinematic slowness" in April 2021. In 2022, three more publications (in English, Portuguese and Arabic) followed. 

Fourteen years abroad have put me in touch with a multitude of people from other cultures, other social backgrounds, people speaking other languages. It truly is a fascinating world and I use this knowledge and the passion, which I have gathered, in my classes. 

Why teaching? I started teaching during my PhD in 2012, when I became a teaching assistant at the University of Stirling in Scotland. I quickly realised that teaching wasn't so much about helping others to learn, but also about learning a lot yourself. Teaching is a two-way process, especially when it is done across geographical frontiers, languages and cultures. 

I have learned a lot thanks to those people I met along the way. I met people who are passionate about the same subjects I am passionate about: languages, culture, art, society, and much more. 

So, I'm sure you ask what I can offer. The best way forward is to tell you what I have already done in the past:

  • simple daily conversations for those who seek to practice their everyday German/English
  • theme-focused conversations based on a subject of the student's choice
  • job interview preparations / CV check
  • pronounciation exercises
  • help with translations
  • language test preparation
All my classes are easy-going and flexible. If you need a lot of help, I'm there to help with adequate corrections and encouragement. If you're already fluent in German/English, then I'm there to listen to you and give you small hints here and there.

My classes always depend on the level of the student, and what you see in my Lesson List is not necessarily always the best for you. This is why I encourage you to take my 15mins free class in order to get to know me and discuss your learning goals with me. This allows me to see how I can help you best and I can, if required, create individual courses for you. 

I'm looking forward to getting to know you and to having my first class with you!  


P.S.: All my classes are safe space for LGBTQIA+. 



PPS.: Thank you to all students who regularly vote me into the Cafetalk Ranking for German classes!!
