Hello, I’m Thomas from Switzerland 🇨🇭, currently living in Tokyo 🇯🇵.
I help learners understand and speak real Swiss German in everyday situations — and feel more confident and comfortable in conversation.
I’m a professional Swiss German & German tutor with 5+ years of experience on italki.
👉 My lessons are for students who already speak German (A2+) and want to improve their speaking, listening, and communication skills. (I do not teach complete beginners.)
Many learners understand High German but struggle with Swiss German in real life. I know how challenging that can be, and I’ll guide you step by step through it.
My main focus is Swiss German, but I also teach High German (Standard German) and help you move naturally between both.
My method is simple: we speak a lot. Through relaxed, natural conversations, you improve step by step and build real confidence.
During lessons, I support you with:
• clear corrections and helpful feedback
• vocabulary & natural expressions
• grammar explanations when needed
I create my own Swiss German learning materials, designed specifically for learners, and run the YouTube channel “Swiss German Storytime”. I also share additional practice and learning resources on Patreon.
My goal is to help you feel confident speaking and understanding Swiss German in everyday situations.
Feel free to book a lesson — I’d be happy to work with you.
Thomas

Informal Tutoring | German Lesson with Learning Materials & Homework
I’ve been learning with Thomas for about two years now, and I’m really happy to keep going. He’s very patient, always well prepared, and you can tell he genuinely loves languages. Every lesson feels different in a good way, as he puts a lot of thought into creating varied exercises that help you improve across all skills.
His lesson notes are incredibly helpful, always clear and a great support for reviewing afterwards, and he does a lot of valuable work with interesting videos and transcripts.
Thanks to Thomas, I’ve made huge progress in understanding and speaking Swiss German. I can definitely recommend him without hesitation.
Merci viilmol, Thomas!

Die Gespräche mit Thomas sind immer interessant, und die Notizen sehr nützlich. Ich bin überrascht, wie sehr sich mein Deutsch im letzten Jahr verbessert hat. Thomas ist ein sehr geduldiger und hilfreicher Lehrer.

The lessons with Thomas are always a pleasure and they help a lot with my understanding of Swiss German. He speaks a "level of dialect" that I can still understand, which is perfect for active learning. He also provides plenty of high quality materials that cover my needs: listening, grammar and more, with solutions suitable for independent study. He also helps with any questions that came up after I worked through them at my own pace.
