Hello, my name Sigrid, and I live in the southwest of Germany. I speak English and German on a native speaker level of fluency. By profession I am a certified Business English Correspondent. I have been an English teacher for more than 20 years at local language schools and online and have also worked as a translator for the U.S. Government for more than 30 years.Me as a Teacher
I am very passionate about teaching English. My patience and experience will guide you at whatever skill level you are. I will encourage your passion to learn a foreign language. My teaching style is very communicative and relaxed. I seek to make my lessons fun and varied. With my guidance you will learn how to live the English language, understand the structure and apply it in daily and professional life.My lessons & teaching style
Using special techniques,a combination of paraphrasing and memorizing whole sentences with the associated, conversation, text and sentence analysis' exercises, you not only learn new vocabulary in the English language, but also understand which function words have in a sentence or in a different context. Language is about more than words. It's about conveying tone, style and most importantly meaning. I'll create individual lesson plans matching your requirements.My aim is that you grow in confidence as we work together. I cover all areas such as grammar, communication, building vocabulary, pronounciation, reading and writing. I teach General English and Business English from level A1 - C2.My teaching material

Relative clauses, their old-fashioned version vs a more stylish one. Many thanks and I am looking forward to the second part.
