Kids don't need lectures about "good money habits." They need to feel what money does.
While adults debate finances at home, kids are already using money, without actually understanding how.

In this course, we learn by playing. And by thinking.
We'll explore together:
✓ Simulate a real shop: handle actual money, practice spending and saving, discover what it feels like
✓ Create a personal budget: not boring spreadsheets, but visuals, games, and real challenges
✓ Ask the real questions: Need vs. want. Why save? How do people earn? What's debt?
✓ Discover how systems work: Banks, loans, digital money, and financial security
✓ Think like an entrepreneur: What services can I offer? How do I create value? How do I turn an idea into money?

Why this is different:
Most kids think "money is complicated." This class shows them that money is a tool, not a mystery, not something to fear.
And, more importantly: that they can control it.

What they take home:
A personal budgeting system they actually understand. Answers to questions they've been asking. And the mindset: money is a means, not an end.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60-min sessions | Small group or one-on-one

For curious kids who ask questions about money.

I have over 5 years of experience teaching English in language schools and over 10 years working in bilingual corporate environments, call centers, and providing technical support for cloud-based products. I have helped students and colleagues improve their English for interviews, promotions, and client communication. In my classes, we use a quick check-in process, highly practical role-plays, specific feedback, and clear assignments between sessions. I adapt to your goals and level (A2–B1, B1–B2, C1; adults and young learners), focusing on five key areas: confidence, clarity of listening, useful vocabulary, pronunciation, and real-world practice.

Complex academic and professional goals become manageable when the objective is clear, the methodology is sound, the work is properly planned, and decisions are based on structured reasoning rather than improvisation.

I am a PhD-qualified engineer, university professor, published researcher, former senior academic leader, project practitioner, and multidisciplinary mentor with more than 30 years of experience across teaching, research, supervision, engineering, project planning, management, professional development, and decision support.

This class provides personalized guidance for university students, graduate researchers, engineers, professionals, managers, career changers, and adult learners. Depending on your objective, we can focus on one of three clearly defined pathways or connect them when your situation genuinely requires an integrated approach.

RESEARCH METHODS, THESIS & DISSERTATION
• Defining and narrowing a research problem
• Developing research questions and objectives
• Formulating hypotheses
• Building conceptual and theoretical frameworks
• Literature-review strategy and source evaluation

• Problem solving and critical thinking in leadership situations
• Emotional intelligence and interpersonal effectiveness
• Managing change and organizational resistance
• Coaching, mentoring, and developing others
• Professional presence, credibility, and influence
• Transitioning from technical specialist to team or management roles

My approach follows a common structured logic:
define the objective → diagnose the current situation → identify constraints → select the appropriate methodology → build the plan → execute → monitor → evaluate → communicate the result → improve

We can work with your research proposal, thesis plan, supervisor feedback, conceptual framework, questionnaire, methodology chapter, project schedule, WBS, risk register, MS Project or Primavera file, CV, job description, interview questions, or professional-development challenge.

I do not simply provide generic templates or ready-made answers. I help you understand why a method or strategy fits your situation, what assumptions it depends on, how to evaluate alternatives, how to detect weaknesses, and how to defend the final decision clearly.

Academic and professional integrity are essential. I provide teaching, methodological guidance, critical feedback, analytical support, planning, coaching, and supervision-style mentoring. I do not write assessed theses or dissertations, complete examinations, fabricate research results, or misrepresent a student’s or professional’s experience.

My goal is to help you become the genuine owner of your research, project, or professional path—able to explain your decisions, manage complexity, communicate clearly, and move forward independently.

Greetings - I am a native English speaker from Canada, but have lived in CH for the past 38 years. I speak CH German, so if you get stuck on words, no problem! I have taught in the Canton School of Thurgau and also in Migros Klubschule (Business English and Children 6-16 English). I enjoyed these lessons and made many friends. I teach in a way to make it seem fun and have certain procedures to almost force you to remember how to pronounce words and also how to spell them. I was always successful with my students and I hope you will allow me to teach you a World language for travel, business and simply for networking in the international community. Thank you.

All my courses are intensive and personalized, focused on your goals.

During our lessons, we will primarily speak Russian, as this allows us to learn the language as quickly as possible. We will read articles and discuss current events. If you don't understand something, I will be happy to explain it to you in French or English.

To make our courses more effective, I use the following approaches:
1. Communicative approach (as soon as we learn a word or grammar structure, we begin to use it in our communication)
2. Linguistic repertoire (we will make references to languages you already speak to make memorization easier and more lasting)

If you want to learn Russian for work, business, official exams, everyday communication, or simply out of love for Slavic languages and cultures, you've come to the right place. If you have other goals related to the Russian language, don't worry. Send me a message describing your situation, and I'll create a program specifically for you.

I’m a certified Chinese teacher who enjoys helping learners discover that Chinese can be both practical and enjoyable. With a strong interest in communication and people, I am especially good at working with teenagers, building trust with them, understanding their learning needs, and encouraging them to express themselves with confidence. Rather than focusing only on textbooks and grammar, I like to make lessons lively, relevant, and connected to real life.

I also enjoy working with adult learners, whether they are beginners, professionals, parents, or simply people who have always wanted to learn Chinese. I understand that adults often have different goals, learning habits, and concerns, so I adapt my teaching style to each individual. I’m particularly good at teaching adults through sharing and meaningful exchange. I place greater emphasis on listening and guiding learners rather than relying on a one-way, input-based teaching approach. I hope to be not only a teacher, but also a supportive learning partner who helps you make steady progress—and enjoy the journey of learning Chinese along the way.

I'm a Swiss citizen with a background in banking and wealth management, plus years of experience in recruiting. I've coached candidates specifically for job interviews in Germany and Switzerland — from the initial application all the way to a successful offer.

Unlike a typical language teacher or generic career coach, I understand both sides of the process: how hiring managers in the DACH region actually think and decide, which answers land well, and the typical blind spots international candidates miss — both linguistic and cultural.

What you can expect:

Tailored preparation for your specific interview (industry, role, company)
Realistic interview simulations with direct, honest feedback
Sharpening your self-presentation, body language, and answer strategy
Support with language nuances if German isn't your native language
Insight into cultural expectations in the German and Swiss job markets (punctuality, communication style, salary negotiation)

Whether you're applying to the DACH job market for the first time, or you've had several rejections and want to know what's actually missing — I'll help you show up convincingly when it counts.

Ich bin Schweizer Bürger mit Hintergrund im Banking und Wealth Management sowie langjähriger Erfahrung im Recruiting. Seit Jahren coache ich Kandidat/-innen gezielt auf Vorstellungsgespräche für Stellen in Deutschland und der Schweiz vor — von der ersten Bewerbung bis zum erfolgreichen Abschluss.

Anders als klassische Sprachlehrer oder allgemeine Karriereberater kenne ich beide Seiten des Prozesses: Ich weiss, wie Personalverantwortliche im DACH-Raum tatsächlich denken und entscheiden, welche Antworten überzeugen und welche typischen Stolpersteine internationale Bewerber übersehen — sprachlich wie kulturell.

Das erwartet dich:

Individuelle Vorbereitung auf dein konkretes Vorstellungsgespräch (Branche, Rolle, Unternehmen)
Simulation von echten Interviewsituationen mit direktem, ehrlichem Feedback
Optimierung deiner Selbstpräsentation, Körpersprache und Antwortstrategie
Unterstützung bei sprachlichen Feinheiten, falls Deutsch nicht deine Muttersprache ist
Einblick in kulturelle Erwartungen im deutschen und Schweizer Arbeitsmarkt (Pünktlichkeit, Kommunikationsstil, Gehaltsverhandlung)

Egal ob du dich zum ersten Mal auf dem DACH-Arbeitsmarkt bewirbst oder nach mehreren Absagen wissen willst, was wirklich fehlt — ich helfe dir, im entscheidenden Moment überzeugend aufzutreten.

Extra information for the student:

Sitzungen finden online statt (Zoom, Google Meet oder Microsoft Teams) — bitte für stabile Internetverbindung, funktionierendes Mikrofon/Kamera und ruhige Umgebung sorgen.
Bitte vor der ersten Sitzung die Stellenausschreibung (falls vorhanden), deinen Lebenslauf und das Datum des geplanten Interviews mitteilen.
Ideal ist mindestens 1 Woche Vorlauf vor einem echten Vorstellungsgespräch, um genug Zeit für Übung und Anpassung zu haben.
Bitte mindestens 24 Stunden im Voraus stornieren oder verschieben.
