Language teacher

Learn German or Swiss German?

Learning a new language opens up new opportunities and gives you new perspectives – personally and professionally. It gives you the ability to step inside the mind and context of another culture and sparks learning in so many more areas – like art, history, politics and customs.

Because I consider this aspect of language learning as so central I have developed my own method, introducing people to the German language on the basis of timeliness and key issues in their immediate living environment. In addition to the conventional teaching tools I am working with individualized materials. Not only to teach language, but to let you experience it. So that you learn what you can apply directly in your everyday life. I give private lessons in the center of Zurich or in the comfort of your office.
