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.

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.

Welcome to my profile!

During this one decade of my teaching experience, about 1000 students have participated in my classes. The most of them wanted to learn how to speak near to native for their different desires and I tailored the classes based on their requested topics!

In my classes, I use audios, videos, stories and memory telling that help students have some models and structures for speaking. After listening, it is your turn to speak. In this step, I help you to make sentences and speak with confident. If it would be required, I edit your grammatical and pronunciation errors and again I will give time to re-make sentences in true style. Moreover, during the classes, based on your needs, I teach grammar structures, vocabularies, collocations, time tense, paraphrasing, and academic writing. Therefore, with this method I facilitate your English learning and I help you to improve your language skills respectfully, listening, speaking, writing and reading. The main advantages of you after my classes is that you will be able to speak easily and fluently.

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.

I provide personalised English coaching for professionals and business people who want to communicate more confidently and effectively in international environments.
My lessons are practical and tailored to each student’s individual needs, level and professional situation. Rather than following a standard textbook programme, I focus on the English you actually need for your work and everyday professional communication.
Sessions can include Business English, conversation and fluency, presentations, meetings and negotiations, professional vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and accuracy, and preparation for interviews or important professional situations.
I also work with students to identify recurring mistakes and communication habits that may be holding them back. We then address these systematically through conversation, targeted exercises and regular feedback.
With extensive international business and consulting experience, I can also help experienced professionals develop the language, confidence and communication style needed when working with international colleagues, clients and senior management.
My approach is supportive, practical and conversation-focused. The objective is not simply to improve your English, but to help you communicate naturally, clearly and confidently when it matters.
