Hi there! I’m Sofie, a dedicated language trainer based in Amsterdam, on a mission to forge meaningful connections through language, communication, and community. With a deep-rooted passion for bridging cultures, I believe language holds the power to seamlessly integrate individuals, foster friendships, and create a sense of belonging. I teach in-person group classes where internationals living in Amsterdam come together to learn, grow, and connect. Drawing from my background in Migration Studies & International Migration and Refugee Law, I understand the challenges of settling into a new country, which is why I place a strong emphasis on the social aspects of language learning. Whether it's through interactive activities, cultural immersion, or practical language skills, my goal is to empower my students to thrive in their new environment. Beyond my role as a language trainer, I also serve as the Sales Manager of a fitness, health & wellness center, where I'm passionate about making a positive impact on people's lives. Currently, I'm furthering my knowledge in Corporate Social Responsibility for Sustainable Development, eager to apply these principles to my teaching and community-building efforts. Outside of work, I embrace an active lifestyle – you can often find me in the gym, competing on the padel court, or out with friends. If you’re ready to start a language-learning journey that goes beyond the classroom, I invite you to join our community and experience the joy of language and connection firsthand. Hope to see you in my classroom soon!
