Hi! I am Sophie language enthusiast from Berlin with a passion for travel and cultural exploration. I've been learning languages since childhood and spent much of my 20s living abroad and immersing myself in different cultures. To date, I have visited 35 countries, broadening my understanding of the world and its people.
I studied languages at Humboldt University Berlin and have worked as an interpreter and translator (mostly Spanish/German). My fluency in multiple languages and almost 4 years of teaching and learning on italki coupled with my extensive travels, has given me a unique perspective on the world and the ability to communicate effectively with people from all walks of life.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I am excited to share my language expertise with you! With almost 4 years of experience as an online language teacher, I understand the challenges that language learners face and am dedicated to supporting you in your journey towards fluency. I am a patient and enjoy connecting with people from all over the world. My creative approach allows me to tailor my teaching methods to meet the unique needs of each student. My background in linguistic studies has given me a deep understanding of languages and their related etymology, which I incorporate into my lessons to provide a more engaging and memorable learning experience.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I offer fun, individual classes that will help you to increase your confidence when it comes to speaking in a foreign language. My classroom is a safe space for you to express yourself. I always write down all the new vocabulary in the chat or a separate document for you to access after the lesson. I will make sure that you speak as much as possible in your target language and feel comfortable doing so. If you want to improve your writing style, I gladly correct your texts as well.

Deutsch für Anfänger | German for Beginners (A1-A2)
I discovered Sophie's profile after working with several other language tutors. I've been an off-and-on language learner my whole life, with some not-so-successful experiences in classroom settings and university language classes. From the first session, Sophie was able to validate and demonstrate how much I was already knew and pushed me to expand my conversational skills to more complex topics, while introducing complex grammar. Since working with her, I've completed several group language classes, had job interviews in German, and worked in Berlin. Without her support and guidance, this would not have been possible. She guided me out of a dead-end routine of constant memorization and grammar exercises and showed how language learning is about connecting with people. I highly recommend her classes to anyone who wants a genuinely human approach to language learning and to learn from someone with an enormous amount of experience in learning various languages and exploring cultures.

Sophie is simply a magnificent person and I can't believe how lucky I am to have struck gold on my first German lesson here on iTalki after a long absence. Behind her most affable demeanour hides an extremely sharp spirit, ebullient intellectual vigour and deep insights and knowledge regarding the German language. My first 1-hour lesson with Sophie was simple yet stupendously effective - definitely one of the most productive hours of my life! She provided such efficient pronunciation tips ("huge") and gave sense to all the words. Sophie also displayed such patience and kindness towards a beginner, which really motivates me to get to a better level as soon as possible. Above all, I'm so grateful for how naturally Sophie was able to adapt to the way I learn, and for the connivance we share with regards to our approach to language-learning. Sophie radiates with an inner shine, and I have the certainty that I will be able to progress with her help. I cannot wait for my next lesson!
