About Me
italki teacher since Sep 14, 2020InterestsPets & AnimalsTravelReading
Only available on the weekends in June. Hallo, schön dich kennenzulernen!
I'm a native German speaker who was born and raised in Southern Germany. Due to having a German Father and a Thai mother I grew up both multilingual and multicultural. After completing high school in 2017 I went on to travel the world, learn new languages and ultimately graduate in Languages and Foreign Cultures in Portugal. As of now I am fluent in German, English, Spanish and Portuguese and I study Thai. My students range from age 6 to +70 and I am open to teach all genders, ages, sexual orientations, religions, ethnicities, etc.. In my classes I create a safe, open space where you can speak and learn freely.Me as a Teacher
Only available on the weekends in June. I am a teacher but first and foremost I am also a forever student. Through my work as an Aupair in which I practised German with Kids aged 6 to 10 and through my language studies at University I learned that you can only teach others if you are also willing to learn and consistently drive to better your own skills. From learning many foreign languages myself I have developed my own personal hacks and tips on how to most effectively learn a new language.
I accept lesson cancellations or reschedules with less than 24 hours in advance. However, this depends on my current lesson demand and schedule therefore I will decide on that for each individual case.My lessons & teaching style
Only available on the weekends in June. I am a young, open-minded and flexible teacher with lots of experience in language learning. From personal experience I know that the best and fastest way to learn a foreign language is to actually speak it! If you already have a foundation in German and want to practise what you know in a fun and safe environment I am the right teacher for you! During each lesson I will take notes on what went well and what will need some further practise.
I sometimes accept lesson cancellations or reschedules with less than 24 hours in advance. However, this depends on my current lesson demand so I may decide individually for each individual case.My teaching material

My responsibilities ranged from preparing the kids for school, managing drop-offs and pickups, to handling household chores. Moreover, a significant part of my role involved supporting the children with their studies at the Deutsche Schule Bilbao. It was a rewarding experience contributing to their growth and well-being.

German TeacherSince 2020, I've been teaching German to an amazing group of over 450 students worldwide. In more than 4,600 private classes, we've delved into not just the language but also explored German culture, history, and media. From 7-year-olds to those in their 70s, my students cover a wide age range, with German proficiency levels spanning from A2 to C2. It's been an enriching experience connecting with learners from diverse backgrounds and skill levels!

Sandra is EXACTLY the kind of teacher I need to get me talking fluently and with grammatical errors removed. It's true, as a native English speaker,.. everyone seemingly switches to English to converse with me and when they hear me speaking German... I'm generally understood but not corrected with the details that are so important to fluency. I would like to keep Sandra a secret ... but no... she deserves the credit! A natural born teacher!

Sandra is a good teacher. She is very enthusiastic and passionate in teaching German. She writes down all the words and sentences that I need to review later. Best of all is that she is very welcoming me to speak the language without feeling fearful or embarrassed of making mistakes. I am confident that I will come out of her lessons speaking better German.

I could not have asked for a better German tutor. You are smart, friendly, a patient listener and also interesting to listen to. Thank you for keeping the topics and writing assignments intellectually stimulating and relevant. You really keep me engaged while also pushing me to acquire the words and grammar I most urgently need to acquire!

Стиль викладання Сандри захоплюючий і персоналізований. Вона заохочує мене виходити за межі моєї зони комфорту і практикуватися в розмові на різні теми. Я ціную, як вона допомагає мені зосередитися на найважливіших аспектах мови, таких як граматика та лексика, одночасно підкреслюючи важливість природної розмови.
Завдяки експертизі та відданості Сандри я набираюся впевненості у своїх мовних здібностях німецькою мовою і я з нетерпінням чекаю продовження навчання з нею.
