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.

Teacher’s pick
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!).

Alexandra ist sehr auf mich eingegangen und hat mich individuell unterstützt indem wir auch das Sprechen geübt und uns von ihr vorbereitete Folien gemeinsam angesehen haben. Ich kann sie überaus empfehlen und freue mich schon auf die nächste Stunde. Merci vie mau!

I am glad to say a few sentences about my Swiss-German teacher. Her name is Alexandra. She is in her early twenties.
I have been studying with her for more than six months and I must say that I have been absolutely satisfied with her attitude to teaching.
She is always reliable because she never cancels our classes and she starts our lessons on time. She invariably concentrates on staying focussed on the studying material. We use our time efficiently and she feels when to slow down and ease up a bit.
We study our book consistently and she patiently explains everything that seems a bit unclear to me.
She does not want to dominate the classes, instead she gives me enough time to think and she does not interrupt me. In this way, I can practice the language without being afraid of making mistakes. She taught me that through trial and error, we can master a language faster. Of course, she gives me regular feedback on the most important mistakes that I have made.

Alexandra prepared the lesson in a very short time and it was incredibly interesting! She adapted the lesson content to my needs. Thank you so much!
