Hello! I’m Verena, originally from Germany and living in Switzerland. I’ve lived abroad in the UK and I know what it feels like to adapt to a new culture. I love languages, travel, and photography—because they connect people and stories. My studies in linguistics and literature reflect my passion for languages and communication.
Hallo! Ich bin Verena, komme aus Deutschland und lebe in der Schweiz. Ich wohnte einige Jahre in Großbritannien und weiß, wie es sich anfühlt, in eine neue Kultur einzutauchen. Ich liebe Sprachen, Reisen & Fotografie – weil sie Menschen und Geschichten verbinden. Mein Studium in Linguistik & Literatur spiegelt meine Leidenschaft für Sprache und Kommunikation wider.Me as a Teacher
I am a lively, empathetic, and well-structured teacher with more than five years of experience in teaching German as a foreign language. My students appreciate my humorous, motivating style and the relaxed atmosphere that helps them feel confident to speak freely. Learning should be lively, personal, and effective — that’s my goal.
Ich bin eine lebendige, empathische und strukturierte Lehrerin mit mehr als fünf Jahren Erfahrung im DaF-Unterricht. Meine Schüler schätzen meine humorvolle, motivierende Art und die entspannte Atmosphäre, in der sie sich trauen, einfach zu sprechen. Lernen soll lebendig, persönlich und effektiv sein – das ist mein Ziel. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are communicative, creative, and practical. They are fully tailored to your personal interests, goals, and needs. We learn through real-life situations, games and reading texts, grammar excercises, and lots of conversation. I choose the approaches that fit you best. I also offer test preparation & job application coaching.

I really enjoy my German lessons with Verena. The classes always feel comfortable and relaxed, which makes learning much easier. She explains everything clearly and in a way that really makes sense, even when the topic is challenging. We learn a lot of new things in every lesson from vocabulary to grammar and I can truly see my progress.
