Learn German with an experienced, polyglot teacher

Hi, I'm Michael. I'm from Switzerland but I spent most of last year in Brazil, where I was doing research for my PhD in history and where I was once again in the position of learning a foreign language – a valuable experience for any language teacher. Languages are my passion, whether learning or teaching them.

I have over 10 years of experience in teaching German as a foreign language on the most diverse level, in language schools, high schools and even a prison. Thus I can offer tailor-made individual classes. The pillar of my practice-based method is that the students use the language on topics and situations that are really important for them, be it daily-life situations or specific topics they need vocabulary for. Of course, grammar explanation and practice is important, too. And there is also a place for fun, through learning games, German songs etc.

[RE]find self-confidence - at work, and in everyday life
Through an approach based on my personal experience and the cases that I have already treated, I offer you: - a (free) one-hour session, intended to learn about your personal/professional context - if I judge that I am able to contribute to an improvement in your situation, according to criteria defined by you, we will plan the coaching sessions Self-confidence, once it is (re)found, is projected onto all aspects of our life. Personal, emotional well-being, or what we project in a professional context. It is based on a set of mechanisms, interdependent themes (physical form, sleep, diet, the structure of our time, our habits, the way we manage our relationships, our passions, etc.) . My approach is not therapeutic, I will only focus on the elements of which I have effective experience and will direct you, if necessary, towards professionals able to take care of the elements requiring a specific approach/therapist. I attach absolute importance to the confidentiality of our discussions, and will always leave you the initiative to schedule the next session.
