About Me

Let me introduce myself briefly. I am a citizen of USA, Switzerland and Peru. I speak five languages fluently. I have the proficiency certificate in English and German. I have previously studied my BA and MA in International Relations and Political Science in Paris, France and London, UK as I wanted to be a diplomat at first. In my early adolescence I grew up in Switzerland and in my early teens my parents decided to venture to Singapore where I graduated in the German School Singapore.

I slipped into the educational world pretty much by accident 5 years ago. Before, my career was in the business world in Singapore. I started as a tutor pretty much by chance and then followed up with a fast track teaching course in the most widely recognized teachers school in Zurich (PH) Switzerland. There I was trained as a primary teacher with the latest cutting edge tools in Pedagogy. Nevertheless I decided to focus on private teaching for the most prestigious international school in Zurich (Zurich International School) and other local Swiss Schools.

My overall aim is to nurture children from any age and background in almost every subject. What I am passionate the most is to be able to have a wide variety of kids who give me their trust to learn at their own pace with their wants and needs. It is essential to me that the child comes first. My overall teaching methods evolve around identifying and promoting the strengths of the childs personality and not focus on the deficits using my intuition and wide experience and background. In my experience, the most important outcome of any teaching assignment is for the child to create his or her own new learning strategies.

Italy has a lot of charm because of its diverse culture: the language, the Renaissance, the opera music, but also Laura Pausini and the Bolognese sauce :-)

Italian, with a degree in "Languages and Literatures" (I am fluent in French, English and German), I have extensive professional experience as a language teacher.
My strengths:
- Since I am multilingual, I know all the good tips to really master a language (if I can do it, you can too!)
- I'm serious, but I also have a sense of humor. During my classes, we never get bored.
- I'm open to different solutions: I can also teach you another language at the same time (verbs in Italian and English at the same time? Compare their usage? No problem!) or even cook with you: Bolognese sauce? Why not?
Bye for now !

I specialize in teaching children and adults. I make learning creative and fun and completely tailor made to each student's learning style and strengths. I place a strong emphasis on intuitive learning through speaking and reading and I let the grammar and vocabulary knowledge build naturally. I do follow textbooks when required but I also lesson plan around it, using the student's interests to make the class interesting.

Hello,
I am currently studying biology at the University of Zurich. I speak english and french as mother tongues and am also fluent in german and italian. I give tutoring services in maths & science, french and english but can also tailor to more specific needs. As I have previously studied in a french international school and then passed my Maturité in a swiss "collège", I have a good understanding of these two academic systems and of their expectations. I have 4 years of experience behind me and can give classes for students at different levels, from primary school to high school. Don't hesitate to contact me for more information. I would love to help you in any possible way!

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Basic knowledge of German is recommended.
Vocabulary and knowledge of German grammar are transferred to Swiss German, and new vocabulary is developed. Pronunciation is a particular focus, enabling confident and fluent speaking. Formal and informal speech, as well as informal writing styles, are part of everyday Swiss life and are also covered. Enjoyment of Swiss German is paramount, as the goal of this course is to achieve free, natural speaking and writing without inhibitions.

Hi there! My name is Jana and I am excited to be your tutor! I teach English, Business English, French and Italian but my professional background is in renewable energy, sustainability and public policy. I always saw languages as a tool to open new opportunities and will be happy to guide you on your journey to fluency. Over the years, I have worked as a mentor and educator, helping students and young professionals develop their confidence, communication skills and academic or professional goals. I particularly enjoy helping people become more comfortable speaking and expressing themselves in a foreign language. As a teacher, I prefer a conversational and personalised approach. Rather than relying on textbooks, I focus on real-life communication and creating a relaxed environment where students feel comfortable practicing and making progress. If that's something that resonates with you, I will be happy to see you in my class. I can also help with exam prep for IELTS, CAE, CPE, GMAT and GRE:)
