German and Irish basic, I spent all my childhood (from 3 years until the end of high school) in Italy and Ticino. So I speak Italian fluently, but not only, I also benefited from an education in relation to grammar and Italian literature. Thanks to the fact that I grew up there, I feel even more Italian than anything else! I can, however, teach you this wonderful language also if you are not French speaking, because I also speak German and English fluently. If you speak Italian already as your mother tongue, I would be happy to help you with everything related to writing essays and literature.
Spero di vedervi presto!

A certified trainer, I offer tailor-made French lessons, that is to say according to the needs of each learner (conversation, grammar, written French, preparation for exams, etc.). I also give tutoring courses to pupils schooled in Switzerland.

During the first meeting with the learner, we set the learning objectives together. Over the lessons, I adapt the program according to the difficulties and specific requests of the learner. The tools I use promote independence. I give homework after each lesson and regularly provide reports on progress and areas for improvement.

In order to facilitate learning, I try to always speak French with the learner. In case of misunderstanding, I will gladly explain in English, German, Italian or Spanish.

Looking forward to reading you.

Korea is a country with dynamic culture. Globalization and diverse platforms introduced K-pop, K-drama, and K-movies to a broader context. These very interesting entertainment contents can also be utilized as great language learning materials. I've designed this course as a practical guide to conversational Korean language as well as Korean culture.

You'll learn how to communicate in Korean, learn the meanings of lyrics of the songs, and understand embedded cultural meanings of vocabulary as well as expressions in Korean dramas and movies.
