Sondra Schalk MA |
Language has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I first began teaching English
as a second language while I still lived in Berlin, Germany, where I was born, raised and educated. I have taught German
as a Second Language after moving to the United States, Florida. My background has been in teaching, translating, interpreting
under contract and as an independent freelancer for many institutes, associations and individuals such as "Arena Synchron
Berlin", "Video & Sound Studio GmbH", in Berlin and "Talk International", "Alliance Francaise",
"Inlingua" (just to name a few) prior to becoming an independent language professional by starting my own business.
I earned my Master's Degree through the "Freie Universität" in Berlin, Germany while studying "Northamerican
Studies and Music/Theatre and science" with emphasis in literature and culture. While my career as an educator
has grown, so too has my continuous passion for language as the ultimate communicative "connecting link" between
different cultures and people in general. As the world grows smaller each day by faster ways of travel and communication, the
level and demand of an inter-connective knowledge of language between individuals and businesses increases more and more. I am an experienced Native-speaking German
instructor. My goal is to provide individual and efficient expert solutions for businesses and individuals.
Each lesson is tailored to the unique needs of each student. Therefore I cover a wide range of interesting topics
focusing on the widening of the cultural horizon and on building a communicative bridge and therefore language connection
between groups and individuals of all different interests and fields. Therefore I so to say serve a vast area of individuals
and businesses. On a personal level I love to teach German and
by doing this to help you to overcome a language barrier that would keep you from reaching your full potential or simply improve
your German language skills. I developed a personal teaching method focusing on the student's individual and general interests and
goals. Very patient, highly creative and possessing 15 years of experience in teaching the German language,
together we will find the best suited program for your individual needs.
