More About Bella
Bella is originally from Vienna, Austria, and is a native speaker of German. She is passionate about helping students grow in their language skills and continues to learn new languages herself. This ongoing learning journey keeps her connected to the experience of being a beginner, allowing her to empathize with her students. Over the years, Bella has added one new language per decade to her “collection,” and she is currently learning Dutch, hoping to practice it in the Netherlands one day.
Bella is married to Roman and is the mother of two children: one in primary school and one in high school. The family began their educational journey with flexi-schooling before transitioning to full-time home-education in 2023. They moved to the UK initially to train as Christian workers at the Faith Mission Bible College, and today, they run a Christian counseling business and offer workshops for couples looking to strengthen their marriages.
Bella will be tutoring World Languages Exploration Taster and German.
