Thema von InteresseTiereGeschichteEssen
I live in Costa Rica and I m a mother of a little baby. I like camping, hiking and gardening, I`m into languages, and linguistics and dialects. Occasionally I love to sing or play the guitar. And just recently I fell in love with Krav maga.:-)
Attention: usually giving clases works out, but as I am a mother of a baby it could happen that there is a delay.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I was working as a german and alphabetization teacher in Austria during 3 years, wih people of different origins, education,, adolecents and grown ups, slow- and quicklearners. So in general I m very used to different kinds of students and can easily adapt.
I prefer SKYPE over italkieclassroom, or maybe other app if you explain me early enough how it works!
If you dont come to a lesson without prior message and it wasnt an emergency (black out, hospital.. etc.) please understand that you still will have to pay the class.
If you wanna book for your kid, please write me before booking, to know if I can help you with your learning needs.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My way of teaching always depends on the needs of the client and his level. I can do grammar and send exercises for this, but we also can work very conversation based, while learning new vocabulary and explaining new grammar when talking. I m quite flexible. I personally always studied and learnt languages in many different ways- conversation/ dry grammar/ songs. etc.
At the moment in italki I offer conversation and if I feel that its useful or if u ask for it I combine it with exercises/ texts/ homework.
I like to create a relaxed atmosphere,, and I think mistakes are essential, so just let go of perfectionism and pressure :-) no need for that :-)
I really enjoyed my lesson. Sophie is able to identify errors in speech and to easily correct them. She then provides further explanation which is both understandable and easy to follow. I really enjoyed her positive and patient attitude. I look forward to learning and practicing German with her again!

If Sanny was good in our first lessons. She has really got much better now: She cares for corrections in their students, she wants them to express themselves without disastrous errors. She knows how to address feedback, provides pleasant conversations, and she even walks extra kilometers for her students: produce worksheets with important insights from their lessons and she makes her own podcasts herself. A true tutor on Italki! 5/5!!

We had a good discussion in German with a true Austrian dialect. Sanny is a rare find on iTalki if you want to learn or get better with German but live in Austria!! Really helpful and patient with trying to understand me but also with correcting and helping the structure of sentences. It feels like learning but talking with a friend rather than in a formal setting!

I had a great first lesson with Sophie. She's extremely knowledgeable about dialects in Germany/Austria and I'm excited to improve my understanding of the Austrian dialect :) Thank you
