About Me

Hi, my name is Alex, I'm from Switzerland. I like to read books, listen to music and I'm into Fashion, language history (etymology (origin) of words throughout the years)Me as a Teacher
It is important to me that the student understands the language, so I will be explaining a lot of background information (which I also had to learn and that had helped me). Like that it will be easier to remember. I'm patient and a good listener. I insist on correcting the mistakes a student will be making ( a lot of teachers, just let them slipping by, but I find it important to tell them when they make mistake, so they can learn.)
I've read and seen some videos on memory technique and how to best learn new information (spaced repetition) so I will try to include that into my teaching as well.My lessons & teaching style
A lot of those classes will probably just be speaking, but I can also prepare a PDF and we will/ can work through that together. (We should communicate first what exactly is the best method for you.) I normally try to find out what a person need in the trial lesson, so it's not a lesson with a lot of theory.
We can also work on pronunciation, on reading (reading aloud is always hard in a foreign language), conversation or grammar.
If you want to, I can assign homework, but I'd advise you to just quickly repeat what we discussed on class and you ll remember it well.My teaching material

I have completed a couple of lessons with Alexandra.
There’s always “homework” for both us, and I appreciate her time invested on her side. For me that reflects a commitment.
I started from zero with German Language, and she’s been a great teacher, always bringing additional material to the lesson (which helps a lot!).

Today’s lesson with Alexandra really showed how skillfully she can build on what I’ve been studying independently and connect it back to the structured material we’re covering together. She has a great way of weaving my self-study into the lesson so it feels cohesive and reinforces everything I’m learning. What I love most is how practical and real-life her teaching is — it’s never just textbook phrases, but language I can actually use in real conversations and situations in Switzerland. She makes the material come alive and ensures it’s directly applicable, which keeps me motivated and excited to keep learning. She always has cool resources like native videos and music that I study on my own.

Today’s lesson with Alexandra was incredibly thoughtful and practical. She created a beautifully organized Google Doc that pulls together everything we’ve covered so far — it’s clear she put a lot of time into it, and it’s going to be an amazing tool for review. She also shared a bunch of extra resources I hadn’t seen anywhere else, from dialect-specific videos to tools that actually make learning Bernese feel doable. On top of that, she gave me a ton of insider tips for visiting Switzerland — places to go, how to blend in a bit more with locals, and little cultural details that make a big difference. She goes above and beyond every time, and it makes learning with her feel genuinely personalized and exciting.

Today’s lesson with Alexandra showed again how talented she is at connecting all the pieces of learning. She takes what I’ve been studying independently and weaves it seamlessly into her structured material, so everything reinforces itself instead of feeling scattered. It makes the progress feel natural and steady. What I really appreciate is how practical she keeps things — we focus on language that actually applies to real-life situations I’ll face in Switzerland, not just textbook drills. Every lesson feels useful, relevant, and tailored, which makes the learning stick in a way I can immediately use.

Alexandra consistently goes above and beyond to make sure I really understand everything we’re covering. She’s incredibly thorough and always comes prepared with clear explanations and plenty of extra resources to reinforce the material — videos, notes, practice tools, you name it. What I really appreciate is how she strikes the perfect balance between keeping the lesson fun and making sure we stay focused and actually learn. The pace is just right, and she’s great at reading when to push and when to pause to review. Every session feels productive, but also enjoyable — I always leave feeling motivated and more confident in my Swiss German.

Alexandra is an incredible Swiss German teacher who makes learning the language feel both approachable and genuinely fun. She has a great way of breaking things down so they actually make sense, especially when it comes to the tricky parts of Bernese dialect.
What really stands out is how supportive and encouraging she is — I always feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions, which makes a big difference when learning something this challenging. She clearly knows her stuff, but she also brings warmth, humor, and structure to every lesson. Thanks to her, I’ve not only made real progress with the language, but I’ve also come to enjoy the process. I can’t recommend her enough.
