Nathalie V. Fairbanks is the author of "The Birkenbihl Approach: Brain-Friendly, Accelerated Language Learning" and the German course "SpeakEZ German I & II" as well as "The Birkenbihl Approach explained by Vera F. Birkenbihl".
She has taught students from all backgrounds and education levels since 1993 in a variety of settings, including Columbia University, Queens College, Montclair University, Manhattan College, NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies, TU Berlin, Chinatown Manpower, Indochina Sino-American Community Center, Berlitz International and the law firm Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson.
She worked as a Financial Analyst for Hewlett-Packard in Germany and as a Senior Project Manager for Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein on Wall Street for a total of 5 years. This only confirmed her lingering suspicion that she loves working with students while spreadsheets make her cranky.
She is grateful for the breadth of her international education, which includes an M.A. in Foreign Language Teaching from New York University, Dipl.-Kauffrau from TU Berlin, an M.S. in Management from Stevens Institute of Technology for which she was awarded a DAAD scholarship, a B.A. in Recording Engineering from Hochschule der Künste Berlin and a European Baccalaureate (French mother language) from European School Karlsruhe.
After spending her entire adult life in two diverse and exciting cities, Berlin and New York City, she is currently adjusting to life in the desert of Death Valley, CA with her husband Daren, her baby daughter Catherine and Silver the Cat. Her personal interests range from playing chamber music and practicing Iyengar yoga to discovering languages and traveling the world. |
