About Sonja
I have been tutoring English and German to students from age 10 to age 18 for ten years now and was teaching English for Specific Purposes in a Post-Secondary Vocational College in Austria for the last three years. My students have been between ten and 50 years old and the numbers of students in class differed severely - as the groups were between 12-32 students per class. Working as a teacher has galvanized my personal commitment to three things: cultivating a positive learning environment for diverse learners, maximizing their individual performance through autonomous learning, and incorporating the familiarity of their native language and the excitement of recent technologies to facilitate the students’ learning success.
I combine traditional language instruction with innovative technology and instruct my students to use their familiar social media tools. I have found that this lesson design encourages individual curiosity and discovery also outside of the classroom. Therefore I especially enjoy doing online tutoring sessions, as this helps students to utilize different technologies, a skill that's becoming increasingly important in our world and in addition it allows them to do something they do on a daily basis and love doing.

I grew up in Austria, graduated with a Master of Arts in English and American language and culture this year, am a native speaker of German and lived in Spain for a few years, which is why I am also fluent in Spanish.
My teaching philosophy is based on the fact that all students are unique and therefore should have an educational environment that stimulates their natural curiosity and helps them to discover their enthusiasm for learning. It is important to me to create an atmosphere in which students can meet their full potential. My objective has always been to encourage critical thinking and my students are invited to share their thoughts and ideas at any time. I believe there are a few essential elements that are most important to make a learning experience be successful: Firstly, the teacher is first and foremost a guide to students. That’s why I let my students try out exercises and activities first before I offer solutions. Secondly, the students’ exercises must have a connection to their actual lives. I found out that highly artificial activities only focusing on drill and patterns do not promote the students’ engagement in learning. Besides, students should be allowed to choose what they want to learn in which order and let their curiosity direct their learning. Lastly, I strongly believe that technology must be incorporated into every learning experience. We live in a highly digitalized world. So, why not using this opportunity to actually combine fun and learning to help the students to reach their full potential?!
