你好!Grüezi!Hola!Hello! I'm a Confucius Institute (the ONLY globally recognized official institution for teaching Chinese to speakers of other languages) certified Mandarin teacher. I'm also an official YCT (Youth Chinese Test)/ HSK (Chinese Proficiency Test)/ HSKK (Chinese Proficiency Spoken Test) test examiner. In addition to giving private lessons, I also teach Chinese at international schools and lead Mandarin immersion Spielgruppe (playgroup) in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. My speciality is teaching children between the age of 2.5 and 12 in an immersive and interactive learning environment. By means of guided game-playing, painting, story-reading, drama activities, song-singing, dancing, and handcraft-making, kids achieve organic language acquisition while having a lot of fun. The predominant features you will find in my class are tailor-made teaching materials and methods that are customized to best suit your specific study objectives (Preschooler Chinese, K-12 Chinese, YCT, HSK, Beginner Chinese, Conversational Chinese, Business Chinese...etc.). As a language learner myself (B.A. major in Spanish and currently studying German), I have great patience and willingness to help you on your journey towards Chinese proficiency, because I know how frustrating it could get at times. Being in the shoes of a linguistics student for years also enables me to better instruct you, as I understand very well what are the things a learner would find helpful. I welcome students of all age groups and prior proficiency levels. Looking forward to sharing my knowledge of Chinese language and culture with you:)

You didn't relocate to Switzerland to speak textbook French. Whether you're navigating deals across the Röstigraben, preparing for a board meeting in Geneva, or simply building the professional credibility that comes with confident spoken French — I help you get there efficiently and without wasted effort. I'm a native French speaker, based in Zug, with a professional background spanning security, entrepreneurship, and the Swiss business environment. My lessons are built around your reality: your industry, your level, your schedule. This isn't classroom French. It's the language your Swiss-romand clients actually speak, the phrasing that signals competence in a meeting, the confidence to stop second-guessing yourself before you open your mouth. What we work on: → Professional conversations and negotiations in French → Business vocabulary specific to your sector (finance, real estate, law, tech) → Swiss-French cultural nuances — what separates fluent from merely correct → Pronunciation and rhythm for native-level fluency → DELF/DALF preparation if certification is part of your goals Who I work with: Executives, founders, and senior professionals based in Zürich and Zug. Typically C1-adjacent learners who know enough French to get by — but not enough to feel sharp. Also strong intermediates (B1–B2) who are serious about accelerating. Format: 90-minute focused sessions, with optional preparation materials between sessions. In-person in Zug/Zürich, or remote via video. I work with a limited number of students at any one time to keep quality high. First session is a diagnostic conversation — no textbook, no homework, just a real exchange to calibrate where we start and where we're going.

The lessons will be done in a pleasant and educational way. There is a great variety of educational material available and plenty of exercises that can be adapted to the needs of the students. Through frequent repetitions the learning procedure is enhanced along with the corresponding material for better consolidation. In the end of each month, we will see where we stand in order to emphasize on possible difficulties that we could face.

Olá! My name is Dina and I come from Portugal. I have lived in Switzerland since 2013 and have been passionately teaching Portuguese since 2015. Would you like to learn Portuguese with ease? One of my strategies is that I focus on different topics in the lesson, eg conversation, grammar, pronunciation, etc. You can tell me beforehand what your goal is and I will implement your wishes didactically. I offer online classes or at my home. The most important thing for me is that I can convey to you the joy of learning the Portuguese language. I look forward to meeting you.

With my tutoring sessions, I will consolidate language skills through consistent vocabulary training, sentence structure exercises and other various techniques. The main thing is to find out what type of learner you or your child are. Once we have determined together which method suits you (visual, auditory, etc...), we can also determine how to learn correctly. I would be happy to work with you or your children and support you.

I teach adults and children of any age and any level, The core of my approach is: - Practice, practice, practice! Language proficiency is not knowledge but a SKILL. Every single theoretical topic should be practiced. For that reason, all my courses are full of practical tasks. - Having fun while learning. Only by having fun can your studying be effective. That’s why the practical tasks of my courses are interactive games. Another crucial point is 100 % clarity of the course theory — learning objectives for every course is made clear from the start. - Focus There is too much information nowadays. It’s more and more difficult to navigate through it. So it’s important to have high-quality curated information for your studies: precisely what you need to address your specific needs: a real language for real life. - Authentic language. I provide only genuine language spoken by people in real life. - A teacher’s mission is to inspire and to give direction, not just transfer knowledge into a student’s head. The best result is when students can learn by themselves, and when they are motivated to use every opportunity to master a foreign language. I will readily share strategies and resources for independently studying foreign languages. - Result vs process. A foreign language is not about good grades. Its real purpose is to improve your life. That’s why each lesson is another step toward your better life. No unnecessary information but precisely what you need to achieve your goals.
