German Courses – A Competence-Oriented Approach
From 76.2 € /h
As a qualified teacher with experience in primary, secondary, high school, and vocational education, and a Master's degree in German studies, I adopt a pedagogical approach based on the development of linguistic and transversal skills. The objective of my teaching is not limited to simple language acquisition, but aims for lasting, functional, and contextualized mastery of German.
What is competence-oriented learning?
A student is proficient in German when he or she is able to:
✔ Mobilize your knowledge: rely on your knowledge or independently search for the necessary information.
✔ Understand and use linguistic and cultural concepts: express ideas clearly and use appropriate vocabulary and structures in various situations.
✔ Solve problems and accomplish tasks: Use linguistic, communication and cultural skills to analyze, understand and respond to situations effectively.
✔ Plan and organize your work: establish learning strategies, make appropriate decisions and demonstrate perseverance and rigor.
✔ Adopt an active and methodical approach: use varied learning strategies and exploit educational opportunities in an autonomous and thoughtful manner.
✔ Working collaboratively: interacting with others, cooperating and adapting skills to different contexts and modes of communication.
Active and Interactive Pedagogy
My approach is based on dynamic teaching methods, which encourage active student involvement:
📖 Contextualized learning: real-life situations, case studies and exploration of authentic documents.
🗣 Development of oral and written skills: dialogues, role plays, written production and text analysis.
🌍 Intercultural approach: discovery of German-speaking cultures through literature, history and the media.
🛠 Learning strategies and autonomy: using effective methods to memorize, structure ideas and express yourself with confidence.
🔍 Formative assessment and differentiated support: personalized monitoring allowing each student to progress at their own pace and according to their needs.
Teaching Objectives
🎯 Develop strong language skills for fluent and relevant communication.
🎯 Promote student autonomy by giving them the methodological tools to learn effectively.
🎯 Encourage a reflective and critical approach to linguistic and cultural content.
🎯 Prepare students for academic and professional requirements (exams, certifications, multilingual professional contexts).
This competence-oriented approach allows us to go beyond passive language learning to use it as a lever for communication, reflection, and cultural integration. It develops in students not only linguistic knowledge, but also the ability to adapt and learn independently, essential in a constantly changing world.

About Me
I'm originally from Lucerne and have always been passionate about languages, as they open up new perspectives and allow us to better understand the world. A graduate of the University of Applied Sciences in Lucerne, I have been teaching German for over ten years at various levels, from primary to secondary school, including vocational school and high school. I also earned a Master's degree in German Studies from the University of Lausanne and a Master's degree in Globalization and Political Science from Brighton University.
As a mother of two, I know how important it is to inspire students to learn. My teaching approach relies on engaging and interactive methods that encourage intrinsic motivation, especially among younger students.
Thanks to my fluency in several languages, I help my students understand German by making connections with other languages, which facilitates their learning. My teaching is inspired by my own language learning journey, which allows me to offer a creative and stimulating approach. My primary goal is to give students confidence and introduce them to the cultural and expressive richness of German.
