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.

Patrick demonstrated confidence on the first meeting with my son, and hence the confidence spread to my son who got enthusiastic to continue the learning with him. Patrick was able to build my son’s motivation as well and knew how to establish the good interactions from the start.
Patrick is a very good and accesible teacher. We are very satisfied with the lessons.

English lessons by Native speaker from London. All ages!
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.

Homework support and foreign language courses - connect fun and efficiency
Languages connect people all over the world. Learning a language does not only mean being able to communicate in a foreign country but with languages, we also get to know a new culture and different habits or ways of life. Languages open many doors and it is never too late to learn a new one.

Accent Reduction for non-native English speakers (USA or UK English)
Welcome! I specialize in aiding non-native English speaking professionals with accent reduction. I can help you learn either the American or British English accent. I'm also able to aid a client in public speaking skills if desired. I am a native American English speaker (born and raised in the USA), and I am a professional private voice instructor. I have several years experience teaching languages and specialize in English diction. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Music Education: Vocal Performance and therefore have the ability to cater my lessons exactly to each individual student's needs. I specialize in developing a keen, discerning ear, and connecting that identification of sound to slight physical alterations that can make a big difference for you in your daily professional and social life. I can help you communicate more articulately and efficiently. First I help you achieve the correct recognition and production of the speech sounds necessary for English. I will then help you use correct intonation patterns, stress, and rhythm in conversational speech. Accent Reduction will help you speak more clearly, freely, and directly. Feel free to send me a quick message, and we can set up a lesson. I look forward to meeting you!
