​
Our promise:

About us
We are both teachers and mothers of bilingual children.
Elle has teaching experience as a primary school teacher in London, Shanghai and Berlin and holds the IB Primary Years Preparation". Christin has more than ten years of teaching experience as a high school teacher in Berlin and since 2015 also as a school coordinator for academic and career guidance in Berlin.
​
With FamiLingua we want to provide orientation in the German school system and close one of the existing gaps: adequate English lessons for English-speaking children that do not attend international schools in Germany.

School Support
We are insiders in the German education system and navigate you through the jungle:
-
We support you in finding a school in Germany that fits your child.
-
We assist you with the paperwork around the school registration.
-
We help with the communication with the school.
Christin is in charge of school counselling. She has more than ten years of experience as a secondary school teacher and has children of school and pre-school age herself. Christin benefits from Elle's know-how regarding international and bilingual private schools.
In an approximately 60-minute talk, you will get an introduction to the German school system and state-specific features; in addition, advice on the types of schools that come into question and the opportunity to ask your individual questions.
