My name is Alina Zakrevska, and I am the founder of the Pauker Club
The idea of establishing a German language club and a portal for its learning emerged a long time ago.
The need for video courses that my students could study from anywhere became urgent since the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine.
From a relatively homogeneous community of students who gradually or intensively start learning German from scratch, different groups with various needs have formed.
I can already speak, but I make so many mistakes that Germans switch to English...
I attend classes every day and do homework, but there is no progress!
I used to be silent, and I am still silent, even though I have a B1 certificate...
The entrance exam is approaching, and there is no sign of a B2 certificate!
Does this sound familiar to you?
Traditional classes are giving way to focused courses developed based on years of experience: mine, the teachers in my club, and, of course, hundreds of our students.
So, why such a name?
In student circles, "pauken" which means "to drum" is used to describe "studying diligently". And the word "PAUKER" means "teacher, master, guru, instructor" ironically, with a smile. Therefore, our little spider will help you learn German diligently, but with a smile.
Merry Christmas And Happy New Year!
Thank you for being with us. We wish you success in your studies, confidence in your knowledge, and many achievements in 2026!
