Germany

Hi, Willkommen! I believe that all learning is state-dependent and that we can be far more successful with a positive mental attitude in the process. If you are anything like me, we probably agree that it is not always easy to stay motivated and committed to learning a foreign language. Most especially, if one associates the practice of it with boring classes and feelings like being uncomfortable, judged or under pressure whenever trying to use already acquired skills. As you are reading this section, I assume you have very well put some thought into the benefits of online private tutoring, so congratulations on this choice! As your teacher, I will help to keep your mood up when it comes to German. My classes are designed to provide an encouraging and safe environment for you to advance from your current level (any is fine, even total beginner) while prioritizing the joy in the experience itself. I have had a variety of students, each defining their desired progress with the German language differently. I adapt my teaching style according to your learning goals and your learning style. We can explore these together in case you are not yet quite clear in this regard. I lived in Germany for most of my life and then decided to move to Barcelona (Spain). Living abroad has challenged me to learn new language skills continuously. I’ve been through the very humbling experience of not being able to express myself fully the way I would like to. The beauty, however, is that by putting in the effort, I empowered myself to live out one of my dreams, and also open up unlimited new possibilities in the context of foreign languages. I also teach German and English locally in Barcelona. My educational background is in Sustainability (MSc) and Business Administration (BA). I have always had an affinity for languages. Although I did not pursue a degree in linguistics, I love to perform jobs requiring these skills, like writing, transcribing, translating and, last but not least, language tutoring. My intentions for our German classes is that you get exactly what you want out of them! And I have no doubt you will if you are willing to challenge yourself regularly with my friendly assistance. Remember, you are here to embark on a journey to enjoy and receive valuable lessons and outcomes. I am here to guide you! Here’s to your success, Sabine.
