Dear Families,

A warm welcome to Grade 5! My name is Cindya Limantara-Plähn, and I look forward to being your child‘s German teacher this school year.

I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I’m originally from Germany and grew up bilingually (German & Indonesian). I have taught elementary and middle schools in Germany, as well in ZIS as a substitute teacher (lower school). I graduated from the University of Hamburg (Germany) with a teaching degree.

Before my husband and I moved to Switzerland 7 years ago, we lived in Singapore and India, where my first daughter was born. It was in India where I discovered my passion for yoga, and enjoyed qualifying as a yoga teacher. My second daughter was born here in Switzerland, and both my children enjoy being at ZIS.

Aside from teaching, I also love to be in nature with my family (especially water activities), photography, creative arts, learning something new, and of course, hop on my yoga mat.

I am really excited to be a part of ZIS and am very much looking forward to working with you and your child this year.

Kind regards,

Cindya
