What do clients and participants say about me?

  • “Ms. Tilton and KI Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis have been working together successfully for three years. During this time, Ms. Tilton has developed and delivered several training courses for KI for the target groups of volunteer German teachers and language mediators—always to our fullest satisfaction. Ms. Tilton creates a friendly and motivating learning atmosphere and is able to convey even complex content in a clear and accessible way. Her experiential seminars are characterized by a wide range of interactive methods and playful activities, through which Ms. Tilton enables participants to discover key insights themselves or develop them through discussion with others. I am already looking forward to the next seminar with Ms. Tilton.”

  • “Natalia, the two days were really, really good. I enjoyed the webinars very much—both the technical setup and the content, as well as your methodology. I was never bored. I followed your presentation with interest—actually, even with a certain curiosity—and I’m happy that I was able to learn so many new, interesting, and genuinely useful things from you. The group work, the interactive tasks, and above all the way you engage with people and convey knowledge—that was adult education at a very high level. Respect! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!”

It is always a great pleasure to be part of it and to see how, step by step, the participants prepare together with you for their upcoming work as language mediators—learning about tasks, boundaries, and possible challenges. With fun, great exercises, examples, and many impulses. In the end, everyone takes away a wealth of new knowledge!”

  • “Dr. Tilton impressed us above all with her high level of expertise and her varied, engaging seminar design. We received very positive feedback from the participants. With her approachable, competent, and relaxed manner, Dr. Natalia Tilton conveys practice-oriented theoretical content and works with volunteers on concrete examples that they can apply directly in their teaching practice. Our participants especially appreciated being able to try out many playful exercises themselves and to receive a wide range of ideas and ready-to-use teaching materials. We thank Dr. Tilton and are already looking forward to the next seminar!”
