Frau Kerstin

Kerstin Buelow is our teacher at the Rio Terrace DKK school location. Kerstin comes from a little town in the heart of Lueneburger Heide, Lower Saxony, Germany. Coming to Canada in 2007, she has been nurturing curiosity and inspiring imagination in the DKK family since 2009.

Motivating the children to actively participate in all classroom and outdoor activities, Kerstin believes that learning through mistakes contributes to building each child’s independence. It brings her joy to see the children joyful and engaged!

Frau Lotta

Lotta Buelow is our teacher assistant at the Rio Terrace DKK school location. Lotta is Kerstin’s daughter and moved to Canada in 2007 at the age of four. She completed the German bilingual program here in Edmonton and later earned her Bachelor of Education from the University of Alberta, majoring in German with a special focus on Second Language Acquisition.

Since 2018, Lotta has worked with the German Language School of Edmonton. She began as a Kindergarten aide before teaching Grades 2, 3, and 4. This year, she will be teaching the Grade 10-20-30 class. In addition, Lotta works as a substitute teacher with Edmonton Public Schools.

Lotta is passionate about teaching German as a second language and believes that everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the gift of speaking another language. She values creativity, movement, and hands-on learning as important tools for engaging children and fostering a lifelong love of learning.

In her free time, Lotta enjoys baking, rock climbing, and travelling. She loves exploring new places, learning about different cultures, and studying new languages.
