Lina Kühn - Head of Education

As a trained education professional who holds the German title Studienrätin, Lina Kühn ensures that instructors use age-appropriate teaching methods, address students in ways that suit their developmental stage and take their actual capabilities into account. The respective subject instructors also carry responsibility for subject decisions and the concrete design of their lessons.

Warm, human guidance is central to the way students learn new content. They should feel that their questions and uncertainties are taken seriously and that they can learn within a dependable setting that combines academic expectations with personal care.
