Ameli Raizman

Conflict Studies • International Communication • German and English

I was born and raised in Germany and am currently studying Conflict Studies in St. Petersburg. My interests include international communication, intercultural exchange, and project-based work. I also teach German and English. I am open to placements and collaboration opportunities in international, educational, and corporate projects.

Now

Conflict Studies

I study how conflicts work, from personal disagreements to processes within groups and society.

Tutoring

I teach German and English and help school students prepare for the OGE and EGE examinations.

International Environment

I am looking for placements and projects where languages, communication and an international context matter.

About me

I was born and raised in Germany, near Cologne. Now I live in St Petersburg and study Conflict Studies at the Saint Petersburg University of Humanities and Social Sciences.

Before moving to Russia, I attended a German Gymnasium and spent part of my school education on an exchange programme in Italy. Living and studying in different countries helped me see how language, culture and environment shape the way people communicate.

This experience became the foundation of my interest in conflict studies, international communication and projects where understanding different perspectives and finding common ground are essential.

Personal direction

The Arctic as a space for research

I am drawn to the Arctic as a place where history, nature, people and international cooperation meet. For me, it represents not only the dream of joining an expedition but also an interest in northern territories, navigation and research.
