About us – Who is behind deutsch-vorbereitung.com?
Dear visitors, My name is Olena Bazalukova, and I am the face and heart of this project. I'm so glad you found our platform and I hope you feel comfortable here. My goal is to help you prepare for the German language exam as effectively and practically as possible.
What started as a personal idea has today turned into a growing learning platform with an active community.
Every day we work to make your exam preparation even more structured, accessible and motivating.
Why we created
this platform
Why we created
this platform
Our story began in March 2022, when my family and I — like many other Ukrainian families — came to Germany in search of safety and new opportunities.
Like all new arrivals, I had to take integration courses and pass B1 and later B2 exams.
Already during my studies, I understood: with a classical approach and a dry presentation of the material, it is very difficult to pass the exam - especially under pressure and with limited time.
We do not teach the language.
We purposefully prepare for the exam.
As a certified teacher with a university education in German, English and world literature, I knew that a completely different approach was needed.
No boring lectures. No endless repetition. Only structured, targeted and motivating exercises — and, most importantly, real preparation for a real exam.
