Ms. Harahap taught teenagers at the Goethe-Institut in Germany and worked with children with language development delays. She taught at Leipzig University, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, and the National University of Yogyakarta.

For the last six years, Larissa Harahap has improved the quality of teaching German as a Foreign Language (DaF) at 29 partner schools in Indonesia as part of the PASCH initiative run by the Foreign Office of the Federal Republic of Germany at Goethe Institut. She has motivated more than 13,000 students every year to learn German as a Foreign Language and organized educational training for more than 80 DaF teachers. During this time, she also got to know DSJ with its extraordinary possibilities.

As the head of the DaF department and as a teacher at DSJ, her aim is to inspire and motivate students with her background in music (state-certified ensemble director), speech training, art of speech, and phonetics (B.A. Speech Sciences), and German as a Foreign Language (M.A. German as a Foreign Language) for a lifelong learning with passion.
