Hello everyone.
I’m Steff and I’m a 33-year-old German, living on a tropical island, called Sri Lanka.
Learning a new language not only allows us to understand the world in a new way but also enables us to interact with people we usually wouldn't interact with due to the existing language barriers. Learning a language is fun, frustrating but so rewarding :)
I would love to be part of your German journey and be your iTalki tutor.
Please keep in mind that i only teach adults and no children. Thank you very much.
Me as a Teacher
I want to show you that German is maybe not as hard as you think, and I want to make sure you have fun learning German.
I will focus on each of you individually according to your needs, goals and interests.
Besides helping you with your German, I love to meet new people, surf, travel and learn about different lifestyles and cultures. I also recently found my passion for baking so please share all your best recipes with me :)
Please keep in mind that i only teach adults and no children. Thank you very much.
My lessons & teaching style
My main objective is for my students to learn while having fun :)
I want to provide for you a safe, fun and non-judgmental environment during my lesion - without any pressure.
I would consider my teaching style as an informal and natural way, basically I will teach you German while having an easy conversation with you like I’m having with my German friends :)
I'm confident that we can find amazing topics to talk about and we will find the right method for you and your needs.
Please keep in mind that i only teach adults and no children. Thank you very much.

Talk with a nativer speaker/ Conversation Practice
It has been around 6 months I have started learning German with Steffi. My German has been improve tremendously because of her. I really like her style of teaching, kindness and patient. She helps me with speaking, pronunciation, grammar and more. When I don't quite understand of what she said, she always speaks the sentence slower and writes it down on the chat for me so that I can read and understand better. I love how patient she is and her compassion. With that, I have more confident to express myself in German without feeling afraid of being judged. As time pass by, I totally feel that I can express more in German and feel more confident speaking German with other people here in Zurich. We usually have a class talking about our everyday life in German and other topics which related. In that way, it's much easier to relate and use the things I have learnt in daily life. All in all, I really like her class and highly recommended for those who would like to improve their German :)

Eine super Unterrichtsstunde! Heute haben wir z.B. über Religionen diskutiert. Ich finde es schön, wie offen und tolerant Mensch Steffi ist. Es ist immer einfach und motivierend mit ihr zu reden. Ich freue mich schon auf die nächste Stunde!

Ich hatte eine fantastische erste Stunde mit Steffi! Ich habe so eine positive Energie gespürt und habe mich wirklich wohl beim sprechen gefühlt. Sie hat mir auch sehr einfach geholfen, wenn ich Wörter nicht finden konnte. Ich kann Steffi nur empfehlen :) bis bald und danke schön!

Steffi ist nicht nur eine Lehrerin für mich, aber eine so freundliche Freundin mit dem über alles sprechen kann. Sie passt sich immer meinem Niveau an. Sie gab mir mein Selbstvertrauen zurück, Deutsch zu sprechen. Sie hilft mir sehr. Jetzt frohe mich für jede neue Treffen ! Danke sehr Steffi.
