About Me

Herzlich willkommen,
I am Sophia, 32 years old and have a great passion for teaching languages, cultural exchange, travelling and personal growth. In 2024 I have passed the German teacher certificate (DLL standard) from the Goethe Institut in order to work as a professional teacher.
I also hold a master´s degree in ecology and love to be in the nature, especially to go riding with my horse. My other interests are pencil drawing, playing my electric guitar and reading books about personal development, philosophical and spiritual topics, psychology and Far Eastern teachings.
It´s my pleasure to use my teaching experience in order to take you further on your path learning German!Me as a Teacher
I have started teaching German and English in private lessons in 2014 after I have finished my high school diploma and have continued it during my master´s degree. In 2024 I have passed the professional German teacher certificate (DLL) from the Goethe Institut.
I adjust learning pace, speaking speed and lesson structure towards the needs of my students. As I have learned French, English and a bit of Tagalog as foreign languages, I know all the challenges that go with it. Learning German is a complex task, but it is absolutely possible to master it! I believe that you can achieve great competence in whatever you work on if you believe in yourself and invest some energy on a regular basis.My lessons & teaching style
It´s my pleasure to boost your learning journey with German conversations or structured individual lessons so that you reach your goals with joy!
Radiating empathy, support and patience is very important to me.
Each lesson is designed towards your individual needs, as I prepare the material in advance. Before a trial lesson, please send me information about your level, goals, which areas you would like to work on and if you want to use your own material or not.
I offer for the language levels A1 to C2

Sophia has earned a great deal of respect. She is the most responsible teacher I’ve ever met. She teaches according to your needs, tries to help, and gives advice. Everything is clear and understandable. She is the best! Vielen Dank!

Sophia is a fabulous teacher, always well prepared for my classes and at the same time very flexible.
I like that she always try to speak only german with me and can quickly identify weak spots in my grammar.
She provides me plenty of useful materials.

Sophia is a great German teacher. She asks good questions and proposes interesting topics to discuss. Sophia is able to clarify and correct my grammar and vocabulary in a way that is supportive and doesn’t hinder our conversation. I highly recommend her.

My class with Sophia was great. She was prepared and suggested how we could work on my German. She provided many useful materials for me to use and also gave me feedback on my German and tips for improving:)
