Hi, I’m Yvonne! I studied English and literature in Berlin, then worked in continuing education for many years. But it wasn't until I shifted my focus toward working with children and teens that I discovered my passion. After spending time developing creative, educational projects for international youth, I realized what I enjoy most is supporting children who struggle with math and numeracy. Now I’m a certified dyscalculia therapist and a member of the First Austrian Governing Body of Dyslexia (EÖDL), working directly with children and teens in and around Berlin. Beyond my one-on-one work with the kids, I love giving teacher training sessions to help teachers learn concrete strategies for reaching struggling mathematics learners in their classrooms.

My specialties include: math, numeracy, dyscalculia, and number dyslexia.

I am German and I speak German and English.
