Geertruida de Rooij-Mohle
Part-time Lecturer
Born and raised in the Netherlands, I have been fascinated with languages since I was very young. After studying translation and interpretation in Antwerp, Belgium, I came to the Université de Montréal for a M.A. in Linguistics. I settled with my family in Ontario in 2006 and started teaching Dutch at the University of Waterloo in 2011.
Vera Schielein
Part-time Lecturer
I am a German native speaker who started working as an adjunct lecturer at the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies in September 2016. I teach beginner German language courses and participate in the Certificate in University Language Teaching.
I studied teaching English as a foreign language and physical education in Germany. Being very passionate about both my disciplines, my final thesis paper investigated the effects of physical activity in the foreign language classroom.
