About Me
italki teacher since Oct 28, 2021Interest topicTravelReadingWriting
Hello, my name Sigrid, and I live in the southwest of Germany. I speak English and German on a native speaker level of fluency. I have been an English tutor for more than 18 years and also worked as a translator for the U.S. Government for more than 38 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 I seek to make my lessons fun and varied.My lessons & teaching style
Thru my special techniques, a combination of translating and paraphrasing, you not only acquire new vocabulary in the English language, you also will learn how to transition the meaning of your native language. Translation is about more than words. It's about conveying tone, style and most importantly meaning. You will actually understand the structure of both languages better. 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
