Sophie K.
www.***
The german Sophie K. is one of the most promising cellists of her generation in Europe. Since 2014 she studied with Prof. Alexander Gebert and Prof. Xenia Jankovic in both – artistic and pedagogical studies at the University of Music Detmold, Germany. In 2017/18 she studied as an exchange student through the Erasmus program at the Royal College of Music Stockholm in the chamber music academy Edsberg with Jakob Koranyi , Mats Zetterqvist and Torleif Thedeen. She received her Bachelor degree in spring 2019 and started her master studies in September at the London “Guildhall School of Music and Drama” with Prof. Louise Hopkins. The University offered her the "Child memorial award", a financial award for her studies.
Born in 1995 near Augsburg (Germany) in a family of professional musicians, for Sophie K. music was always a part of her everyday life. After her first cello lessons at the age of five she had successfully won various competitions for Singers and Cellists, as the Germany-wide competition „Jugend Musiziert”. In 2013 she received first prizes in two categories - as a soloist and with her Piano quartet. Moreover her chamber music ensemble also won the „WDR 3 Klassikpreis” (“Prize of Classics”).
Before her studies she had lessons with Edgar Gredler, the Solo Cellist of the “Bayerischer Rundfunk” (the Bavarian broadcast orchestra in Munich) and Stephan Haack, the Solo Cellist of the renowned “Münchner Philharmoniker” (the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra). In her music and art focused High School, the “Pestalozzi Gymnasium”, she could benefit from its wide spectrum of musical education.
Sophie attended masterclasses with Professors like W. Boettcher, M. Carneiro, N. Eppinger, L. Fenyö, G. Gnocchi, N. Gutman, F. Helmerson, L. Hopkins, Z. Plesser, E. Rovner, G. Schiefen, T. Thedeen, W. Yang as well as Alban Gerhardt and Jan Vogler. Additional she visited festivals all around Europe as for example the Cello and Chamber Music Festivals at the Kronberg Academy. Furthermore she took advanced classes in baroque and contemporary music techniques with Dmitri Dichtiar and Prof. Andreas Lindenbaum and currently studies baroque cello as her second studies at the Guildhall with Joseph Crouch.
As a Soloist, Sophie gave concerts in all big concert venues in and around Munich. For example did she perform the Dvorak Cello concerto in November 2016 and Tchaikovskys “Rococo Variations” in 2019 in the “Herkulessaal” of the Residence of Munich, one of the biggest concert halls in Germany. She worked with conducters like C. Adt, S. Gauer and B. Koch and played with various student and semiprofessional orchestras as well as professional orchestras like the “Bad Reichenhaller Philharmoniker”. More solistic concerts are planned for the upcoming seasons with various orchestras in Munich ( www.*** ).
Sophies focus lies on chamber music and orchestra playing. Through numerous courses, projects and especially the education at the Edsberg chamber music academy with Prof. Mats Zetterqvist in Sweden, she was able to increase her repertoire and her ability in ensemble play. Her latest success was shown in receiving the first prize in the “Auryn Competition” with her ensemble. She joined the bavarian youth orchestra in 2009, the young “allgäuer” philharmonics in 2014 and played in Europa Musicale´s “womens orchestra” in 2018. Moreover did she play in the Edsberg as well as in the Australian Chamber Orchestra under the leadership of Richard Tognetti. Sophie played under conducters like Mariss Jansons, Daniel Blendulf, Han-Na Chang and Kristiina Poska.
Besides the traditional concert venues Sophie gave performances in elementary schools with a youth Orchestra, which was founded by her and Anna Handler in Munich, to make music accessible to children from elementary schools in near-illiterate social classes. The Orchestra also performed in various refugee camps. Furthermore she joined “Musethika” in spring 2018, a music project with concerts in hospitals and rest homes.
As a child of two music educators and authors of various instrument methods Sophie learned right from the start the basics of educational teaching. Already in High School she was assigned to teach younger students in groups, as well as in the music school of Munich. In the last five years she was employed at the music school “Musikschule Schieder - Schwalenberg”as the main teacher for all Cello students. Furthermore she could benefit from her science of education studies.
Sophie K. plays a Cello of “Giuseppe Pedrazzini” made in 1942, Milano, which is placed at her disposal from the “Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben” Hamburg.
I enjoy teaching German and French and am based in Clapham in South London. I teach ONLINE ONLY - it works very well for one-to-one lessons and avoids the problems inherent in getting to a venue! It also means that you can take your lessons, even when you're away from home.
I have a PGCE (Post-graduate teaching certificate in Education) in German and French. I have been tutoring for the last 8 years, with considerable successes among my GCSE students, who all improve by several grades - usually mostly to Level 8's and 9's.
I am bi-lingual in German and speak excellent French. I conduct lessons in French or German right form the start. Adult learners are very welcome: I teach adult students who work for overseas companies, have German or French partners, or need to pass language exams in order to live and work abroad.
Before we start, we will discuss your goals, class frequency and the time you have available for homework between classes. I offer a free, no obligation half hour conversation and assessment, so that I can suggest how we best proceed. If you are happy we can start straight away!
Do book a video appointment if you would like to find out more or get started.

I’ve been learning languages since I was a child and taught them for many years, most recently German and English. I have an Honours Modern Languages Degree from Trinity College Dublin and spent my year abroad in West Berlin. I'm proud to say I have achieved a near-native speaker level competency in German. Over the years, I've developed my own way of doing things and I've found by experience that the best way to learn a language is by consuming interesting and useful material, such as video clips, audio recordings with transcripts, dialogues, articles and other material. That's what I use to help my students both during tuition and in self-study. To learn, you need to actively engage with the material, not passively watch it, skim over it or try to listen to it in your sleep! You need to work intensively with the text or transcript and do follow-up exercises. You need to hear it as well as read it. Too many course books neglect audio and rely too much on the written word. As well as a tutor and content creator I am also a content curator. I select media from YouTube and the German-speaking media and carefully produce transcripts, exercises, side-by-side translations, vocab lists and grammar explanations, all saved electronically in my Mediathek or media library. I have built up several course books' worth of material. For beginners and new learners, I can provide samples of course books that you can purchase online and can recommend online language learning services that you can use as part of your German language programme. By the way, I consider the concept of ‘homework’ to be outmoded. Instead, you need to do lots of self-study as well as group or 121 lessons. I provide audio, video and written materials to students in advance of the lesson rather than during the lesson. Students can study them and prepare them at their own pace. Then in the lesson, we can concentrate on practice, consolidation and having a fun time reading aloud, acting out dialogues and roleplay as well as looking at interesting grammar points. I provide follow-up materials, including lesson notes, translation and writing assignments, recommendations for further study. I often talk about good language learning methods as well as some questions about the underlying principles of language learning Fun, flexibility, fluency. That’s what I aim for in my courses and tuition. Language learning should be fun. It should be an interesting, stress-free, enjoyable activity, not a chore! I’m flexible, that means I always try to accommodate the interests and ability of my students. If there are occasional last-minute changes of plan, that's not a problem. Payment is flexible too. Fluency is a key goal, but accuracy is important too. You can be fluent in a language, but make lots of errors. You can have a high level of accuracy, but lack fluency. We should aim for a good balance between the two. I have developed a different approach to grammar. It's better to learn grammar within the context of the material that you’re working with. Every word, phrase and sentence of the foreign language provides you with examples to learn from I encourage my students to be like Sherlock Holmes, to actively look out for patterns and clues that will help them to learn. In mid-2021 I started to do short themed courses on specific topics. The first one was for intermediate level students on the subject of the police in Germany, using video clips and roleplay and articles. Further course topics include 'Simplifying the German cases', 'Living in and escaping from the GDR' and 'Differences between Germany and Austria'. My courses and tuition are open to anyone, anywhere via Zoom. I offer all my courses via Zoom and despite its occasional technical shortcomings, it works extremely well. I can teach students anywhere and in the Age of Covid, it’s 100% safe. For all sessions, I write notes as we go along and display the file on screen. That serves as my whiteboard and as a diary of everything we’ve covered. Where necessary I can record audionotes, a mini-podcast of around 5 minutes summing up the main points of the lesson, including pronunciation of difficult words. I'm tech-savvy and make full use of present-day technology. My journalistic experience is useful for language learning. I also have experience with filmmaking and drama. In group sessions, we often adopt a theatrical approach with dialogues, as if they were the script of a play or movie. That makes it more fun and more challenging. You don’t have to have great acting ability, although speaking a foreign language is actually a little like acting.
By the way, air travel is a favourite theme of mine. You'll see it in my profile photos and videos. I used to work at an airport. It's a theme that's very relevant to language learning. So why not join one of my group courses or become one of my one-to-one students? And you can try one of my themed short courses as a taster. Just get in contact, I can usually reply straight away or within a few hours. Vielen Dank, many thanks!

Hi, I´m Helena, I am a native German and I simply love tutoring. I am enthusiastic about languages, and I hope I can inspire you. At school, I learned 3 foreign languages and so I was also in the position of being a second-language learner myself and can relate to the struggles, but also the passion, of learning new languages. I would love to help you improve your German: whether spoken, written, improving your accent, or simply building your vocabulary. I also help with or conduct German translations. I will first find out the level of German you are currently at and what you intend to learn. I will measure your strengths and weaknesses and create a tailored lesson plan. The focus of my tutoring will be set on the area which is the most difficult for you to learn, whether that is grammar, vocabulary, conversation skills or other. I work with a great variety of materials, ranging from traditional documents and task sheets to films, articles, and language games. In my opinion, it is very important that you have fun during lessons, so I always try to come up with new ideas. I give my best talking slowly and understandably, so you will see progress quickly and benefit from the lesson. I have already recognized my passion for teaching as a German, Maths and English tutor and as a sports coach in Germany. More recently I began teaching German here in the UK both in person as well as virtually. To make sure that I support my students in the most effective way, I informed myself about the UK school system and the existing expectations regarding both curriculum and exams. Additionally, I could already gain some tutoring experience for international students. I have a great deal of satisfaction when I see students building confidence, becoming competent and being able to speak German more and more fluently. I am from a small town in Bavaria, the southern Germany. After my studies of health promotion and 3 years of gaining work experiences, I decided to do one year off and spend it in the UK. I love to travel and doing sports like playing soccer, going running and hiking.
