Hello, I'm Sophie – your German teacher for real-life communication! I'm a northern German with a degree in Cultural and Arabic Studies, and I’ve spent the past 10 years helping migrants in Hamburg learn German in a lively, practical way. My teaching goes far beyond grammar: it’s about using language with confidence in everyday life. For me, true integration begins with communication that connects people. Today I teach from my tiny house in Portugal, surrounded by nature. Here I live what I teach: cultural awareness, sustainability, and the joy of learning without pressure. Would you like your German to feel natural, authentic, and comfortable? Let’s get started!

I have been learning German with Sophie for more than 10 lessons and every time I look forward to my next class. She is very friendly and competent: during each class we alternate conversation and grammar, and she constantly prepares new questions and exercises to consolidate my vocabulary. My German has visibly improved and I am very happy to have her as my teacher.

Sophie is especially professional in adapting to her students' level and needs, I belive due to her broad experience in teaching German to foreigners. She's quite patient, elaborate, caring and understanding. Sophie speaks other languages so she's on the same wavelength with her students, and can also easily come up with examples from the languages, too. She's very punctual and organized as well. Quite a pleasure to have classes with Sophie ❤️

Angenehme Probestunde mit guter Atmosphäre. Die Erklärungen waren klar und die Korrekturen hilfreich. Für mich wäre ein noch klarerer Stundenplan (Lernziele + kurze Hausaufgabe) perfekt. Insgesamt eine gute Erfahrung – ich kann mir weitere Stunden gut vorstellen.
