About Me
italki teacher since Jun 24, 2021InterestsMusicPets & AnimalsEnvironment & NatureWritingReading
I'm Stefanie, I'm 39 years old and I live in Bavaria, in Germany. I've always been interested in foreign languages and studied English and Spanish to be a translator, even though I work as a freelance teacher and artist these days. At the moment I'm learning Dutch and Polish, and I have a long list of other languages I still want to pick up. I'm also interested in art (mainly drawing), hiking, playing the piano, photography, and basically anything creative. I'm also a very tolerant and easy-going person.
Please note that I do not teach children.Me as a Teacher
I'm a very patient teacher, because I'm learning languages myself and I know how frustrating it can be sometimes. I enjoy helping my students and I make sure my lessons are focused on you and your individual needs.
Unfortunately, because it keeps happening, I need to point out the following:
** No-shows and late cancellations **
According to the italki rules, cancellations are not possible within 24 hours before the lesson. I understand that sometimes unexpected things happen, so I grant students one exception every three months. After that, the student will have to pay the full amount. I hope you appreciate the concession but also understand the limit. My lessons & teaching style
I encourage you to actively use the language you are learning from the beginning as that is the best way to progress fast. Any mistake is a chance to learn something new, so I want you to not be afraid of mistakes.
In case you are struggling with listening comprehension, please don't worry, it is totally fine for me to speak extra slowly or repeat words as often as necessary.
I will always adapt the lessons to your needs.
We will speak in German as much as possible, but we can always switch to English, Spanish or Dutch whenever it is needed.My teaching material

Stephanie is a breath of fresh air and a ray of sunshine. Genuine, patient, and caring are words I use to describe her. Super knowledgeable about teaching as she is a lifetime learner of languages herself. I always enjoy her customized lesson.

Fantastic teacher, attentive and gives really useful feedback in lessons but without interrupting the flow of conversation so that you get practice to build your confidence and also useful feedback and knowledge to help you improve. I’m really enjoying the classes.
