Learn German with an experienced, polyglot teacher

From 92.73 € /h

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.

Hello, I am here to offer tutoring or English lessons for all levels. I am American and grew up bilingual in Dortmund, Germany. So, my native languages are English and High German.
I have many years of experience as an English tutor, having tutored English throughout high school and college. . I also received a TEFL "Teaching English as a foreign language" certificate in a seminar.
Through my various professional experiences as an experiential educator, workshop leader, language teacher and tutor, I can respond well to a variety of needs and have had a lot of experience with different students and groups in these areas. I have worked a lot with adolescent students from regular schools and young adult students. However, I also have experience with mentally or physically impaired students, groups of migrants and behaviorally challenged youth and am not afraid of difficult tasks as well as new challenges. I have aroused your interest ? Please contact me immediately to get to know me better and to arrange a first lesson. I also offer High German as a foreign language.
With kind regards
John

Through an approach based on my personal experience and the cases that I have already treated, I offer you:

- a (free) one-hour session, intended to learn about your personal/professional context
- if I judge that I am able to contribute to an improvement in your situation, according to criteria defined by you, we will plan the coaching sessions

Self-confidence, once it is (re)found, is projected onto all aspects of our life. Personal, emotional well-being, or what we project in a professional context.

It is based on a set of mechanisms, interdependent themes (physical form, sleep, diet, the structure of our time, our habits, the way we manage our relationships, our passions, etc.) .

My approach is not therapeutic, I will only focus on the elements of which I have effective experience and will direct you, if necessary, towards professionals able to take care of the elements requiring a specific approach/therapist.

I attach absolute importance to the confidentiality of our discussions, and will always leave you the initiative to schedule the next session.

Grab a cup of coffee (or tea!) and let's practice together in a relaxed atmosphere.

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!
