Hi, my name is Agnese and I am Italian. I have more than 10 years of studying the humanities, from high school to master's degree! Over these years, I have developed a personal method of studying these subjects that has proven to be successful. I love studying and this is why I will not end my studies with the master's degree: I want to undertake a doctorate!

I have always combined my studies with teaching support, both at university and privately.

Need help with the IELTS speaking test?

I can offer one-on-one tutoring to help you learn more about the speaking part of IELTS and help you achieve the band score you need. I can help you identify areas to improve, like:
- how many and what kind of grammar mistakes you're making when speaking
- how to improve your pronunciation to be more accurate in clear
- how to hold a conversation and meet the examiner's expectations
- how to expand your vocabulary to be more appropriate for the test

I am a native English speaker and have years of experience as a university academic English lecturer (including IELTS workshops). I know university's expectations for students' speaking abilities and how the IELTS tests this.

Together we can cover the structure of the test and practice so that you gain some experience before the actual test date. I can offer you guidance for areas you need to work on and set your expectations for the test date. Just a few sessions together online can help get you on the right track to achieve the IELTS speaking band score you need!

Hi, I'm Michael. I'm from Switzerland but I spent most of last year in Brazil, where I was doing research for my PhD in history and where I was once again in the position of learning a foreign language – a valuable experience for any language teacher. Languages are my passion, whether learning or teaching them.

I have over 10 years of experience in teaching German as a foreign language on the most diverse level, in language schools, high schools and even a prison. Thus I can offer tailor-made individual classes. The pillar of my practice-based method is that the students use the language on topics and situations that are really important for them, be it daily-life situations or specific topics they need vocabulary for. Of course, grammar explanation and practice is important, too. And there is also a place for fun, through learning games, German songs etc.

Interested in learning one of the most widely spoken and influential languages in the world? Whether you're preparing for travel, work, or simply curious about Chinese culture, my lessons will help you speak real, practical mandarin — the way native speakers actually use it.

You'll learn how to communicate naturally and confidently with Chinese speakers, understand cultural nuances, and gain insights that go far beyond textbooks. Speaking Chinese can unlock new personal and professional opportunities, broaden your worldview, and connect you to over a billion people.

I'm based in Zurich and offer personalized lessons tailored to your goals and pace. No matter your starting point, I’ll help you build a strong foundation in the language — and have fun along the way.

Let’s get started!

1. For Absolute Beginners (Category: Italian, Basic Grammar, Basic Conversation)
Class Title: Italian from Zero: Your First Step!
Description:
Have you always dreamed of speaking Italian? Let's start from zero together! This class is designed for those with no prior knowledge of the language.
We will learn the essential basics in a clear and enjoyable way: how to introduce yourself, order at a café, ask for directions, and use the most important verbs in the present tense.
We will use images, real-life situations, and simple conversations. Don't be afraid to make mistakes—this is the perfect place to do it! My goal is to give you the confidence to express yourself from the very beginning.

2. For Conversation and Fluency (Category: Conversation, Vocabulary, Italian)
Class Title: Let's Talk! Everyday Conversation Lessons
Description:
Do you already know some Italian but are afraid to speak? This class is for you! The goal is to improve your fluency, enrich your vocabulary, and finally overcome the fear of conversing.
We will choose topics that you are passionate about: current affairs, travel, culture, Italian cuisine, or TV series. I will gently correct you and teach you natural idioms to help you sound like a true native speaker.
Grab a cup of coffee (or tea!) and let's practice together in a relaxed atmosphere.

3. For Grammar and Precision (Category: Grammar, Academic Italian, Writing)
Class Title: The Secrets of Italian Grammar: Clear and Stress-Free
Description:
Do the subjunctive mood, reflexive verbs, and prepositions confuse you? This class will transform grammar from an obstacle into a strength.
We will tackle one rule at a time with clear explanations, practical examples, and targeted exercises. Each lesson focuses on a single topic (e.g., "The Subjunctive Today" or "Why do we say 'a me mi'?") for solid and deep learning.
Perfect for students of all levels who want to write and speak with precision and confidence.

Hi there! I'm a native Chinese speaker from China, and I'm currently finishing my master's degree in Zurich, where I’ve been since the autumn of 2023. I will be staying in Zurich after graduation, so I'm excited to share my language and culture with you!

My Mandarin is standard and accent-free. I have experience teaching both one-on-one and in group settings. My teaching style is lively, engaging, and very approachable. I believe learning a new language should be a fun and positive experience!

I'm comfortable teaching in both English and Chinese. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to advance your skills, I'll tailor the lessons to your specific needs. Let's start this exciting language journey together!

[Teaching Method]

Structured & Interactive: No More Boring Grammar!
My methodology combines academic precision with real-world application. I don’t just teach memorization; I explain the "Why" behind the language to ensure long-term retention.

Zero-to-Hero Foundation: I ensure perfect pronunciation and a solid grammatical foundation from Day 1.

TOPIK Specialist (I & II): I create customized roadmaps focusing on your weakest areas, especially the challenging 'Writing' section.

Business Excellence: Leveraging my Master’s and Marketing background, I teach the professional etiquette and honorifics essential for career success.

Premium Support: I provide customized PDFs, worksheets, and ongoing WhatsApp support between lessons to track your progress.

Maximum Flexibility & Personal Choice:
I understand the busy lifestyle in Zurich. We coordinate our sessions on a weekly basis to ensure they fit perfectly into your schedule. I offer engaging online sessions as well as in-person lessons at selected quiet cafes in Zurich city, providing a comfortable and focused environment for your studies.

Do you speak English at work, but feel your message loses impact in meetings, presentations, or high-stakes conversations?

If you want to communicate with confidence in leadership or client-facing situations—without second-guessing yourself—this class is for you.

This class is designed for professionals in leadership or client-facing roles who already use English at work and want to communicate with greater clarity, confidence, and impact.

Sessions focus on how you present ideas, participate in meetings, and communicate in high-stakes professional situations. We work on structure, phrasing, tone, and delivery so your message is clear, professional, and easy for others to follow—without sounding rehearsed or overly formal.

This is not general language instruction. It is targeted communication coaching for professionals who want to refine how they speak, present, and lead in English.

By the end of this course, you can expect to:

✔️ Explain ideas and decisions clearly in meetings and discussions
✔️ Present information in a structured, confident, and professional way
✔️ Communicate with authority without sounding aggressive or unsure
✔️ Participate more comfortably in leadership-level conversations
✔️ Feel more confident speaking English in high-visibility situations
