Skype Coaching

It’s flexible, but here are some topics in which I have loads of experience and expertise:

• Settle in Germany: a step-by-step guide of what to do when
• What type of residence permit can I get to stay in Berlin?
• Preparing for your visa appointment in Berlin (any type of permit)
• Setting yourself up as a freelancer in Germany
• Filling out the form to get a freelance tax number (this one usually takes around an hour)
• How to get married in Berlin
• Applying for the Gründungszuschuss (a government grant to get out of unemployment by starting your own business)
• Filling out paperwork (Künstlersozialkasse, ALG I, ALG II or Hartz IV, health insurance, pension system, Elterngeld, Kindergeld, etc)

Coaching is very flexible. If you have specific questions, I am happy to answer them and you can use your time however you wish! If I don’t know the answer, I will be able to find someone who does. But I’ll never say yes to a coaching if I don’t feel confident in my knowledge on the topic. I can’t help with complex tax questions or legal issues and will most likely send you straight to an expert instead.

You can keep remaining time in credit for up to six months. You can also use that credit towards other services like translation or Telephone Time. Keep in mind that when you book a coaching slot, you will automatically use at least 30 of your 60 minutes.

It can be hard to pin me down at the Red Tape Translation office because I’m always travelling across town to interpret for people. If you would really prefer to meet in person, just ask. If it’s possible, I’ll make it work!
