Hi there! My name is Sharon, and I’m a native German speaker. I’ve been living in Bolivia, South America, for 13 years, so I know exactly what it feels like to be ‘lost in translation’ ;-) As a former trilingual assistant, I’ve always enjoyed studying languages. However, learning a new language also introduces you to a new culture. Since living in Bolivia, I’ve come to appreciate the positive aspects of both cultures. I love the German values of punctuality and reliability, but now, I also cherish the laid-back Bolivian lifestyle and no longer feel stressed out all the time. When I’m not teaching, I love to bake German cakes and pastries, as I miss them dearly from Germany!

I always look forward to my German class with Sharon. She has a way of encouraging me to talk even though my German is so ungrammatical! She has a way of correcting you without making you feel dumb, and I really appreciate her friendly but very professional style of teaching. She has introduced me to various cultural and historical topics of interest that has widened my understanding of Germanic culture.

Sharon is a fantastic teacher! I've really enjoyed learning from her and already feel like I'm progressing. She is patient, caring and asks open-ended questions that make me think critically. I really like her creative approaches to teaching and the atmosphere in every single lesson has been welcoming and supportive. Thank you Sharon!

Fantastic lesson! Over the years of taking lessons from Sharon, I have noticed a distinct increase in my son's confidence, vocabulary and fluency in German. She gives him so much opportunity to speak and expand on his ideas and always challenges him with more complex vocabulary. His lessons with her are one of the highlights of his week! Thank you Sharon!
