Mit über 18 Jahren Erfahrung im Unterrichten von Deutsch als Fremdsprache sowie 15 Jahren Berufserfahrung als Primarlehrerin und schulische Heilpädagogin in der Schweiz biete ich klar strukturierten, individuellen und lernzielorientierten Deutschunterricht an. Ich begleite Lernende aller Niveaus und bereite gezielt auf verschiedene Prüfungen vor: Goethe-Zertifikate (alle Stufen), FIDE, SDS, TELC sowie auf Einbürgerungstests. Zudem habe ich Schülerinnen und Schüler erfolgreich auf die IGCSE-Prüfung und das IB-Diplom vorbereitet. Im Zentrum meines Unterrichts stehen immer meine Schülerinnen und Schüler. Ihre persönlichen Ziele, Bedürfnisse und Lernschwerpunkte bestimmen den Unterricht. Neben den klassischen Kompetenzbereichen Sprechen, Hörverstehen, Lesen und Schreiben lege ich großen Wert auf praxisnahes und lebendiges Lernen. Ein besonderes Anliegen ist mir auch die Vermittlung der schweizerischen Kultur. Ich unterrichte auch Bärndütsch, der Dialekt, der im Kanton Bern gesprochen wird.

Goethe certificate in methodology and didactics: Trained teacher with over 8 years of experience I am very lucky because I love my profession. But passion alone is not enough to be a good teacher. You also need didactic, methodical and pedagogical skills. For this reason I decided to attend the distance learning course "DaF Methodik und Didaktik" at the Goethe Institute in June 2019. I successfully passed the final exam. I am convinced that teachers need to be constantly trained, too. So they are able to offer their students the best teaching performance.

✔ Take your German to the next Level I’ve started private teaching in 2014. I have no accent, and I teach in standard German. In the beginning I taught people from East Asia, but today my students are coming from all over the world. I'm particularly interested in languages like Japanese, Chinese and Korean. Right now I'm trying to master Japanese. Understanding how these languages are structured gives me the opportunity to teach you German in a more understandable way. In addition, I can help you, to pass the TestDaF, which is the general German language test for foreigners, who want to start studying at a German University. I've also experience in preparing students for the DSH language test and the Goethe-Zertifikat.

As your tutor I will help you: 1. to feel comfortable in everyday conversations in German. 2. to maintain motivation and to enjoy the process of acquiring a new language. 3. to become "your own best teacher" so you can make the most of learning on your own. I see value in a lot of different methods of language learning. However, the best method is useless if you lose motivation halfway, and even with a less efficient method you can be successful in learning a language if you have fun doing it. That is why I am convinced that maintaining passion and motivation should be on top of our priority list.

Certified German Teacher: 15+ Years of Inspiring Language Journeys Native Swiss Teacher & Linguistics PhD | German & Swiss German | Beginners, Conversation & Exam Prep I'm Ivo, a Swiss teacher of German, trained educator, and PhD researcher in Linguistics. I explain why German works the way it does, so it makes sense instead of feeling like rules to memorise. Most students come to me for one of these: › Starting from zero (or nearly). Complete beginners welcome. We build a foundation step by step, at a pace that suits you. › Speaking more naturally. Conversation with real feedback: pronunciation, phrasing, the small things that make you sound like a person, not a textbook. › Swiss German. Understand the dialect and start speaking it. As a native, I teach genuine spoken dialect. Ideal if you live in Switzerland or plan to. › Preparing for an exam. Goethe, telc, TestDaF, or the Swiss fide test and naturalisation interview. We work backward from the format and date, together. › Settling into a German-speaking country. Everyday German plus citizenship and integration prep. I explain the customs behind the language too. › Making it stick. Review efficiently: flashcards, spaced repetition, a system that keeps you improving between lessons. Structured lessons, conversation, or a mix: I adapt to your level and goals. My aim is to make German, in every variety, challenging, enjoyable, and useful. 華語學習者:我可用中文解釋德語,並持有對外華語教學碩士學位。歡迎預約。 📅 I open next month's availability mid-month. If nothing fits, message me and we'll arrange something.
