About

My name is Sybilla. I was born in Germany, but left my home country aged 25 to live and work in France. There, I taught German and English in different language schools to adults as well as to children. After 7 years in this lovely country, my destiny took me to the UK, where I have lived and worked for the last 27 years. I used to teach German and French at a local Rudolf Steiner school which closed in 2019, and I also had several private students, most of whom I lost at the start of lockdown.  We tried moving online, but this doesn’t suit everybody. I had a few groups with younger kids as well, but working online with children who are used to playing, singing, hiding and seeking and having fun with the various props I used to bring to the classroom just didn’t feel right.

While teaching at the school, I had already worked as a translator online for several years. So I made this my main line of work during lockdown and beyond.

And all that time I thought that I would like to get back into teaching. So I decided to extend my offer to an international community and go online. Currently, I work on Preply, an online teaching platform, where you can find me quite easily. 

My method is a taylor-made approach that takes into consideration the starting point, requirements and learning goals of each of my students as well as their learning style and preferences. My students’ satisfaction and success is my first and foremost objective at all times.
