About Me
italki teacher since Jul 7, 2017InterestsFoodFilms & TV SeriesScienceTravelHistory
I am a Goethe-Institut certified German as a Foreign Language (DaF) instructor with over a decade of teaching experience, specializing in tailored, objective-oriented instruction. My academic background includes a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Political Science, which allows me to incorporate historical and political perspectives into lessons for students with such interests. As a polyglot fluent in three languages, I bring intercultural competence to my teaching methodology, ensuring practical and engaging German language acquisition. My approach focuses on transforming learners' objectives into measurable outcomes through structured yet dynamic lessons.Me as a Teacher
I have over 10 years of experience as a language teacher, specializing in one-on-one private instruction. As a self-employed educator, I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds, tailoring each lesson to their unique needs and goals. This personalized approach allows me to focus on the specific challenges and strengths of each learner, whether they are beginners building a foundation, intermediate students seeking to enhance their skills, or advanced learners refining their fluency. My extensive experience has given me a deep understanding of effective teaching strategies and the ability to create engaging, customized learning plans that ensure my students' success. My lessons & teaching style
My classes are thoughtfully structured to meet your individual needs, using scientifically backed teaching materials that support the progressive development of your German skills. Together, we focus on all key areas of language learning: reading, writing, listening, and, most importantly, speaking, through a variety of engaging exercises. While grammar plays an essential role, I emphasize its practical application to enhance your communicative abilities. To reinforce and deepen your understanding, I provide tailored homework after each session, ensuring you can review and practice the new material effectively.My teaching material

Sina is a fantastic language teacher. I've just come back from a trip to Germany after 6 months of lessons with her, and I was blown away with the amount I was able to understand and with how well I could already express myself. I highly recommend working with her if you're interested in learning German!

My wife and I began learning German together as a “coronavirus lockdown hobby”, but never made any meaningful progress until we began our lessons with Sina. She’s friendly, patient, attentive in gently correcting any errors whilst always encouraging our efforts at communication. Her guidance helped us both to pass our A2 Goethe exams this year and greatly increased our confidence in speaking German. Thank you for everything this year, Sina!

Ich danke Sina von ganzem Herzen! Wir haben in 5 Unterrechten einen großen historischen Abschnitt der deutschen Geschichte besprochen und ich konnte dadurch meinen Wortschatz erweitern. Sina hat mir immer ein ausführliches Feedback zur Grammatik gegeben. Ich bin fasziniert von ihrer Art, den Unterricht zu gestalten.
