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 (DAAD lecturer) and, previously, in Indonesia (DAAD language assistant) and Uzbekistan (PROMOS scholarship). 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.
