About Me

InterestsTravelHistoryMusicWritingFilms & TV Series

My first profession was a photographer, which led me to a career of 23 years as a cameraman and director at Swiss National Television. I have a Swiss certificate in Adult Education, a Bachelor's in Social Work and a Master's in Coaching, plus a Certificate in Teaching German as a second language. Now at 68 years old, a happy retiree, it is important to me to pass on my love of languages and learning. As a tour guide, I also enjoy giving personal tours of the beautiful sights of my homeland.

Me as a Teacher

I am also a big fan of laughter in learning, as I believe that this emotion contributes to sustainable learning. A special feature of my offer is that, on request and if required, I can also incorporate the Swiss German dialect into the lessons. As language is considered the key to understanding the culture of a country, I can point out the revealing differences between Swiss German and standard German. As a coach, I'm a good listener as well, and I think it's essential to listen to your clients to know what they are really looking for. This is a great opportunity, especially for those who want to explore Switzerland and learn more than just about mountains, chocolate, and banking.

My lessons & teaching style

My teaching is relevant to everyday life and meets students where they are in their journey with the new language. I am a big believer in empowerment and enjoy supporting my students' enthusiasm. It is also important to me to incorporate current events and cultural creations from music, film, and art. As a director for television and theatre, I strive to make my lessons dramaturgically captivating and interesting.
