Grüezi! Ciao ✨
My name is Pavy and I’m from Switzerland. I grew up speaking both German and Italian, so I consider both to be my native languages. I was born in Ticino (Locarno), which is Switzerland’s Italian-speaking region and I grew up in Zürich City, where Swiss German is spoken. I speak both Swiss German (Züüritüütsch) and Standard German.
One of my biggest passions is learning languages. I speak French and English fluently and I'm learning Spanish, Serbian and Portuguese. I like finding interesting ways to practice my languages and I like sharing my experience with other people.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I'm a qualified German teacher from Zürich, Switzerland. I have been teaching on italki since 2020 and have worked with students from all over the world. My students have a variety of goals – from improving conversational fluency and integrating into life in Zürich to preparing for exams.
As a Züri City native, I offer lessons in both Standard German (Hochdeutsch) and Swiss German (Züritüütsch), the local Zürich dialect. Depending on your goals, we can focus on Hochdeutsch or dive into authentic Züritüütsch so you can speak like a local. I adapt to all levels and learning styles and I know how important it is to practice actively in a supportive and friendly space.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I take good care of preparing my lessons in advance and create documents based on specific topics and on your level. I'm very patient and kind. :) My aim is that you've fun whilst practicing Swiss German or German.
I've been working with Pavy as a private tutor for nearly a year - she has really built my confidence in speaking in German. She is very patient, and always easy to work with. Definitely recommend!!

Pavy is simply the best! I have been studying with her for more than a year now, and in the course of these two years, I passed the Goethe B1 and then the Goethe B2 tests. She is not only the best at explaining things and tailoring lessons to your exact level and needs, but she also offers tailor-made materials. The lessons are very packed and interesting. I have tried various approaches to learning German, and learning with Pavy is by far the best. Highly, highly recommended.
Pavy ist einfach die Beste! Ich studiere jetzt schon seit über einem Jahr mit ihr, und im Verlauf dieser zwei Jahre habe ich die Goethe B1- und dann die Goethe B2-Prüfungen bestanden. Sie ist nicht nur die Beste darin, Dinge zu erklären und Unterricht genau an dein Niveau und deine Bedürfnisse anzupassen, sondern sie bietet auch massgeschneidertes Material an.Die Unterrichtsstunden sind sehr intensiv und interessant.Mit Pavy zu lernen ist bei weitem das Beste von dem, was ich ausprobiert habe.Sehr empfehlenswert.

Pavy is super good. Her style matches mine very well, flowing conversations in which we can discuss fun things while practicing speaking, plus dedicated exercises for the things I don't get well yet. Highly recommend :)
