About Theresa Lentfort
Since October 2023 I have been working as a LfbA for German with a focus on digitalisation at the University of Paderborn and teach German courses (semester and intensive courses) for international students of all subject areas at all levels. I have teaching experience in the internation higher education sector, most recently at Cambridge University in the UK (2018 - 2023, DAAD lecturer) and, previously, in Indonesia (DAAD language assistant) and Uzbekistan (PROMOS scholarship). I am also a Fellow of the British Higher Education Academy (FHEA). It is my personal motivation to strengthen international exchange by teaching German as a scientific language and to enable students to immerse themselves into the culture through their language skills.
