About Lernstudio Celle
A learning studio built for how people actually learn
We started in 2018 with a single room and a clear idea: educational support should be thoughtful, individual and free of the pressures that make school hard for many students.
Why Lernstudio Celle exists
Lernstudio Celle grew out of a frustration shared by many educators: traditional tutoring often replicates the same approaches that made school difficult in the first place — fixed formats, passive instruction and little attention to the individual.
When Dr. Hanna Berger and Marcus Vollmer founded the studio in 2018, they wanted something different: a learning environment where the pace, the methods and the goals were shaped entirely around the student. Where a 14-year-old struggling with algebra and a 38-year-old preparing for a language certificate could both feel that this place was built for them.
We have since supported more than 380 students in Celle and the surrounding region. Our approach has not changed. Each programme is designed from the first conversation, not from a template.
What we stand for
We tell students and parents what we can realistically help with. We do not promise grade outcomes.
When students understand and feel capable, results follow. We focus on understanding first.
Continuity matters. Students do not get passed between teachers based on availability.
Our studio in Celle is quiet, bright and unhurried. This is deliberate.
The people behind the programmes
Our teaching team holds qualifications from German and European universities. We do not employ unqualified tutors.
Dr. Hanna Berger

Dr. Berger holds a doctorate in Educational Psychology from the University of Hannover and a Staatsexamen in German and English.

Marcus Vollmer studied Mathematics and Physics at Leibniz Universität Hannover and holds a teaching qualification for secondary and upper secondary schools. He worked as a Realschule teacher for five years before co-founding the studio in 2018. His focus is on students who have developed a negative relationship with mathematics — a process he approaches with patience and structured rebuilding of foundational understanding.
