Residence Tutors Goerzallee
My name is Shakila and I am a tutor in the Goerzallee hall of residence, where I also live. In this role, I support the residents and organise various activities to increase community life.
I'm originally from Iran, where I grew up. However, ‘home’ for me doesn't necessarily mean a geographically defined place. Rather, it is the people around me who give me a feeling of security and authenticity. Wherever I can be myself, I feel at home.
I speak Persian, German and English and study Geodesy and Geoinformation at the Technical University of Berlin. In my free time, I like to go jogging, attend opera and ballet performances with great enthusiasm and read a lot and passionately.
As a tutor, I am currently planning various events, including walks, jogging meetings and an open dance format entitled ‘Time for dancing: from Persian dance to hip-hop’. This event is intended to be a relaxed setting in which we can move and have fun together. In the past, events such as cooking together or games evenings have already taken place - always with the aim of promoting togetherness in the hall of residence.
If you want to stay informed about upcoming events, you can follow the Goerzallee hall of residence's Instagram page, where all the latest news is shared.
What makes the Goerzallee hall of residence special is its quiet location in the green and the friendly, international atmosphere. On the one hand, you have a place to retreat to, and on the other hand, you have numerous opportunities to socialise with others - be it in the communal kitchen, during sports activities or at the regular events. It is precisely this successful mix that makes the dorm a very special place for me.

My name is Sunbla Khan, and I am both a tutor and a resident at Goerzallee Residence Hall. I grew up in Karachi, Pakistan, a vibrant city often called the "City of Lights." I speak Urdu, Hindi, English, and German.
To me, home is more than just a place. Home is where you feel welcome, build meaningful friendships, and create lasting memories together. That's exactly the feeling I hope to help create here at Goerzallee.
I am currently studying Data Science at the Berlin University of Applied Sciences and previously completed my Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering. Through my work with people from many different countries, I've learned how enriching it is to connect with different cultures and perspectives. That's why I enjoy bringing people together and creating an open, supportive community.
In my free time, you'll often find me outdoors. I love flowers and gardens, enjoy visiting art events and language cafés, and like relaxing by Berlin's beautiful lakes, where I can recharge. I also enjoy meeting new people and learning about different cultures.
As a tutor, I'd love to organize a variety of activities, including cooking and BBQ evenings, picnics, game nights, language cafés, creative workshops, and group walks. I'm especially excited about our "Exploring Berlin Together" series, where we'll discover parks, lakes, museums, cafés, and other hidden gems around the city. It's a wonderful way to get to know Berlin while also getting to know each other.
You can stay up to date with upcoming events through our Instagram page and WhatsApp community.
What I love most about Goerzallee is its people. Students from many different countries come together here, support one another, and turn a residence hall into a home away from home. That sense of openness and community is what makes Goerzallee so special to me.
I look forward to meeting you!
