Meet your Teacher Relations Team

Marine Piplas

Bonjour! My name is Marine and I am French. I’ve lived in many different countries (Lithuania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, France, Belgium) and I am currently based in Tirana, Albania. I speak French, English, Bosnian, a little bit of Spanish and I am currently working on learning German. I studied languages, political science and international relations. In my free time, I love hiking, travelling and eating (what? It’s not a hobby?). I am really happy to be part of your Teacher team at Lingoda and look forward to exchanging more with you all!

She lives in Albania but works for Lingoda Berlin She does not speak Albanian, why Albania? Working on learning German? Try Lingoda? Nobody says like eating. Foodie, Passionate about Food, International Cuisine, ...

Her English ist not the best - intermediate. Do you know French people? How many people would introduce themselves as a native French person without mentioning anything about their beloved French country?

Do you know why she is living in Albania? Simple. Lingoda set up the teacher team in Albania. They set up some fake profiles to create the impression of an international teacher team based in Berlin. Fake profiles to hide their real names that would indicate their nationality. An illusion. A support emplopyee in Albania, Mazedonia, Bosnia earns 300-400 Euro per month.

Nemanja

Hi, everyone! My name is Nemanja and I come from Serbia. I've studied English and Spanish at University of Belgrade and apart from those two languages I also speak Serbian and I'm currently learning Korean and German. I love getting to know more about different cultures and visiting as many new countries as I can - especially if there's some spicy food involved! I'm very excited to be able to talk with you more on a day-to-day basis here at Lingoda!

Shanti

Hello everyone! My name is Shanti and I come from Germany. Languages, traveling, and experiencing new cultures were always my passion, so I studied Tourism and Spanish in the UK. After finishing the last year of my degree in the Canary Islands, I stayed there for seven years. I speak German, English, and Spanish and, as I recently moved to Catalunya, I'm now learning Catalan. I used to teach German as a second language, both online and offline. In my free time, I enjoy following research in the field of language teaching, and I also love climbing, hiking, and skiing. I'm happy to be here and glad to work with you, dear Lingoda teachers!

Shanti again in outdoor clothing, another Stockimage. No idea why she moved to Spain working for a German company. All these profiles just another Lingoda created illiusion. The multi national teacher team.

Melina

Hola everyone! 

My name is Melina and I’m from Spain, but I’m half-German on my mother’s side. I studied Modern Languages in Gran Canaria, which is where I’m from and currently live, and did a master’s in Cultural Management in Edinburgh. I speak Spanish, German, English and a bit of French (currently brushing up on that one) and am learning Italian. A little more about me, I love baking and have conquered sourdough bread, I’m an avid traveler and I love education, having been teaching languages on the side for the past 6 years, which is why I’m excited to be a part of the Teacher Team at Lingoda!

Manon

Hello all, I am Manon and I come from France. Although I studied to be a French teacher in the UK, it was fate that made me move to Germany.
