Grown from experience – for families abroad
Assadé was founded by Maike Rulfs-Zoua to give families abroad real confidence in academic language skills.
Maike Rulfs-Zoua
Founder & teacher
Maike studied German, Romance and American studies at the University of Augsburg and has over 30 years of experience as a teacher and examiner.
Roles such as the Goethe-Institut, the telc examiner licence for German as a foreign language, the German School Barcelona and the American International School of Riyadh shaped her view of schooling abroad.
As a mother of five and with German, French, Spanish and English, she knows the challenges of international families first-hand. Assadé grew out of this combination of expertise and lived reality.
