About Me
Passionate about teaching and full of energy, I believe that learning is most effective when it is driven by curiosity, confidence, and the enjoyment of discovering new things. I am also very active and enjoy sports, particularly cycling and badminton.
I have always sought to develop original teaching methods tailored to my students’ needs. I particularly enjoy using videos, digital tools, and a variety of learning materials to make lessons more engaging, practical, and stimulating.
I also have extensive experience working with teenagers. I understand them well, know how to listen to their concerns, and adapt my communication style to their individual personalities. This personal connection helps them feel understood, build self-confidence, and make progress in their learning.
My multidisciplinary academic background, language skills, and educational experience enable me to teach a range of subjects, including German, Italian, Spanish, philosophy, biology, and religious studies. Above all, I aim to inspire every student to enjoy learning, help them discover their own abilities, and support their success through personalised and encouraging guidance.

Experience / Qualifications
I studied German, Spanish, and philosophy at the University of Lausanne, where I obtained a Master’s degree in Arts in all three disciplines. I subsequently earned a PhD in Arts from the University of Geneva, specialising in the philosophy of biology.
Since 1993, I have also gained extensive experience working with young people through my ongoing involvement in the management and organisation of youth clubs.
Having worked in Ticino over the past two years, I am also highly proficient in Italian.
My multidisciplinary academic background, language skills, and educational experience enable me to support young people in a wide range of areas, help them with their learning, and share knowledge across various subjects.

German Lessons – Personalised Support to Help You Make Progress
Drawing on my experience teaching German at lower secondary level, I offer lessons tailored to each student’s level, needs, and goals. I am also familiar with digital learning tools such as Quizlet, which can be very effective in supporting German language learning.
My approach goes beyond language learning: I also help students improve their study skills and working methods more generally. We can focus on vocabulary retention, understanding grammatical rules, organising revision sessions, and preparing for tests and exams.
My aim is to help every student improve their German, become a more independent learner, and develop effective, long-lasting learning strategies in a supportive and encouraging environment.
