I have varied experience in producing printed and online materials in German and English, specialising in language teaching. My latest projects include:
Co-Author of textbook for AS German (Oxford University Press, 2008)
• Researching and writing texts for the Students’ Book, including scripts for audio material
• Creating grammar and extension exercises
• Writing Teachers’ Notes in English
Author of i-c@fe Deutsch (published by Oxford University Press )
• Creating a lively online magazine for teenage learners of German, with up-to-date, accessible articles and enjoyable interactive exercises
Development Editor for Nelson Thornes Ltd, working on the A2 German textbook, published in 2009.
“Ann Adler was closely involved in the preparation of the Nelson Thornes A2 German
Student Book and online resources. As part of this work, she was
instrumental in coaching the authors to achieve content of the
highest standard, and she undertook additional research to help develop ideas and ensure clear presentation of concepts. Her friendly, approachable and supportive manner ensured our writing team enjoyed collaborating with her, and the company greatly appreciates her input to the project.”

Tuition
After teaching German in inner-city comprehensive schools for 15 years, I now specialise in Business German and private tutoring at all levels, preparing students for GCSE, AS / A2 and CBLC examinations as well as offering general conversation lessons.
“Ann Adler has been working with us since July 2007. On a weekly basis, she teaches individual students and groups at prestigious large companies in the City of London; she has successfully prepared them for the Oxford Cambridge and RSA CBLC (Certificate in Business Language Competence) examinations. We have found Ms Adler to be very professional, reliable and competent in her position as a teacher of Business German at all levels.”
I can offer translations in a wide range of fields. Recent assignments include the translation of websites from German into English for a gallery in Zurich, as well as a sports equipment provider in Gloucestershire.
