Güezi! Ciao ✨ I’m Pavy, a Swiss German teacher based in Zürich. I grew up bilingually with Swiss German and Italian, both are my mother tongues. Born in Ticino and raised in Zürich, I speak both Züritüütsch and Standard German. I’ve been teaching on italki since 2020, working with students from all over the world. Whether your goal is conversation, integration into Swiss life, or exam preparation, I adapt each lesson to your needs. My lessons are structured but relaxed. I create custom materials based on your level, your goals, and topics that genuinely interest you. You’ll have a space where you can speak freely, make mistakes, and build real confidence. I teach both Standard German and Swiss German (Züritüütsch), with a clear focus on helping you communicate naturally in real-life situations. I prepare every lesson carefully and design my own documents, so you always know what you’re learning and why. 👉 My goal: you enjoy the process and make real progress.

Pavy is an amazing teacher. I’ve been taking lessons with her for almost a year now, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. She prepares a structured plan for every lesson and always introduces me to new topics and concepts. What I especially appreciate is that the lessons go far beyond just learning the language itself. We also talk about Swiss culture, places, and many interesting aspects of life in Switzerland. I can suggest topics that interest me personally, or we simply discuss current events to practice pronunciation and conversational skills. Pavy is always patient, calm, and supportive. She never hesitates to explain things multiple times if needed, which makes learning feel comfortable and encouraging. I notice clear progress after every lesson and feel more confident speaking the language each week. I’m truly grateful to have found Pavy as my teacher, and I’m looking forward to many more lessons with her.

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 :)
