About Me

I was born in Chile and lived there until 2013, after which I moved to the UK, then Germany, and now Switzerland. I have been teaching all things Spanish since 2007 at high schools, universities, and as a private tutor. Second Language Acquisition has always fascinated me, and I strongly believe that anyone can master a new language, regardless of age.
In my classes I help you develop all language skills (reading, speaking, listening, writing) and the linguistic contents of the lessons are taught within a given context or language task. You are also welcome to suggest topics for us to talk about, or to work on a specific linguistic form: grammar, vocabulary, or pronunciation.

I am a native Russian speaker and have a Master's degree from the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, where I studied languages and history together with international students. Since foreign students did not possess the knowledge of the Russian language when they came to study, I worked with them as a tutor.

Thanks to this experience I know how to teach Russian to foreigners and will help you too to improve your level by applying specific methodologies. We will work on grammar and vocabulary. All lessons will be tailored exactly to your individual needs to help you progress quickly.

I look forward to meeting you!

For me, the best way to learn French is first through conversation. I believe that speaking about simple topics, personal interests, and subjects that truly motivate the student is essential. When learners talk about what they are passionate about, they feel more confident and engaged, and progress comes more naturally.
In a second step, I like to create personalized modules and materials adapted to each student. When I identify areas for improvement, I design specific exercises and activities to help them grow. However, I always keep the student’s needs and interests at the center of the learning process. My goal is to make learning French enjoyable, motivating, and meaningful.

I offer personalized lessons in both English and Serbian for students of all levels. Whether you want to learn English as a global language or Serbian for travel, work, or personal reasons, lessons are tailored to your goals and learning style.
In English lessons, we focus on speaking, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and real-life communication.
In Serbian lessons, you will learn practical conversation, essential grammar, everyday phrases, and correct pronunciation step by step.
My teaching approach is supportive, structured, and interactive. I create a comfortable environment where students feel confident asking questions and practicing speaking. Lessons can be adapted for beginners, intermediate learners, or advanced students.
My goal is to help you build confidence, improve fluency, and make steady progress in a clear and practical way.

As a native English speaker and certified Montessori Teacher, I am flexible in the Zürich area to help you with homework, lessons, or speaking practice in English.
