She is currently continuing her post-graduate studies in Psych-Social Studies working towards a Master’s Degree at the University of Graz. Her own children were students at Vienna International School, a leading IB World School, and it was then that she began working with VIS students, referred by the school, who required support for their German A and B at MYP and DP levels when referred by the School. Her grown children now live in the USA in Philadelphia and Washington, so she maintains her international community identity! Martina is fluent in German, English, Italian and Spanish. She has some Japanese and acquired the highest level of Latin possible in Germany (grosses Latinum). We are pleased that Martina is able to work with our German MYP students.
