I am an enthusiastic German teacher and the founder of the Smilingua Academy with 10 years of professional experience in online teaching and here locally in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where I have lived since 2014. In addition to my mother tongue German, I also speak English and Spanish fluently.
It is not only important to me to teach grammatical content, but also to use the language in a playful way.
In addition to my private students, I also collaborate with various official language schools and other teachers.

What our students say:
Patxi Jaime
Silvana's exercises were always very fun and practical and she always had an explanation for my grammatical doubts. She uses playful methods and repetitions that allowed me to learn the language quickly and naturally. I can now communicate with German people, which was my main goal. I recommend her 100%.
Jay Wang
I enjoyed learning German with Silvana. It's fun with her and we talked about lots of interesting topics. So I can say that I have not only learned German, but much more.
Paula Thornburrow
Silvana has been my online German teacher for several years. During this time she has been so professional that I have recommended her to my friends, family and boss. We are very happy to learn German from A2-C1 with Silvana.
