Swiss-German is the first language spoken at work in Switzerland. Perfectly bilingual, I worked for more than 15 years in German-speaking Switzerland in managerial positions.

If you are brought to speak this language in your work, we can practice together by
- 30 min. (or 60 min.) on Skype, Telegram or Signal
- 60 min. at the student's home or other place of his choice *

To you to share with me your topics (sales, administrative questions, job interview), failing that I will bring topics adapted to your professional context.

Teacher with great experience and particularly motivated, I have always advanced my students and brought them successfully to their exams.

After completing a full education in Germany and advanced training in Swiss law in Geneva, I want to put my skills at the service of students or students of any level in Geneva.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

I did my first year of studies in the Faculty of Arts (French and German), more precisely in the section of French Language and Literature and German Language, Literature and Civilization.

I also spent six months in Hamburg, which allowed me to reach a C1 level in German. I have been teaching German for about ten years now. The feedback on my profile, as well as certificates, provided when necessary, from the parents of my former students, will tell you the level of satisfaction of each student.

Therefore, I can teach both the main foundations of the language, such as grammar or spelling for example.

I can bring all kinds of learning methods, always adapting to the needs and pace of my students.

I also worked for 5 years as an ASE (without training) in a school specializing in mental disabilities. As a result, I am accustomed to and aware of the specific needs of each individual and am very happy to take care of any type of student.

All other requests are welcome, I am happy to adapt to everyone's needs.

German course - online or face-to-face in the greater Geneva area. All age groups and levels, preparation for exams, tests or tests. Tutoring/homework help in German or geography (in German).

Learn German in a playful way with play groups for preschool children and to get started with the new language.

Learning à la carte, private and intensive for teenagers and young adults:
We work together to achieve previously defined learning goals. The variety of tools I offer allows you to progress in your own way and at your own pace. Regardless of whether you are more of an auditory, visual or kinesthetic learner type.

The composition of the training media makes the lessons more attractive: the inverted classroom allows you to anticipate the next live session and progress faster; the micro-learning refreshes your most recent knowledge. The learning content is tailored to schools and universities.

Do you have a learning partner or even a homogeneous study group? Great, because the unit price for an hour is significantly reduced. Just ask!

By choosing a course with me, you learn German with exercises in grammar, conjugation, vocabulary, but also through oral expression. For beginners/false beginners, I suggest learning with lively dialogues.

I can guide you with a selection of resources to progress in the language.

Know the language of Goethe.
German is a language that is thought of as harsh and aggressive. It is quite the opposite, and I would be delighted to demonstrate this to you.

At least to make you want to through free, varied learning, outside of the school and academic framework
