Marlene Danner

I studied Comparative Literature in Vienna and completed a teacher training programme in Russian and German. My studies have led me to the Aristotle University in Greece and to the two Russian Novgorods. During my studies I worked as a secondary school teacher and librarian. 

As a Fulbright Teaching Assistant in Atlanta, I began teaching at university level. I first came to the UK to join the University of Kent, followed by three years at King’s College London, during which I completed an internship at the Austrian Embassy to Moldova and obtained a postgraduate diploma for German Language Teaching in International Higher Education.

I teach German to undergraduate students and bring with me a focus on the Austrian approaches to life and culture.
