I'm Simona, 28, grew up in Switzerland and currently living in the USA. I have a bachelor's in social work and teaching certifications for English (TEFL) and German (DAZ/DAZ). I'm a passionate language learner, I master English (TOEFL), German, and Swiss German (both Native). Furthermore, I speak an advanced level of Spanish because I traveled and lived in Central and South America for about two years. My current language projects are French intermediate level and American Sign Language (ASL). I'm also a passionate rock climber and traveler, and interested in nature, culture, science, linguistics, history, and much more.
Ik als leerkracht
I completed a postgraduate certification to teach German as a foreign or second language by the Goethe Institute and the Friedrich Schiller University of Germany (DAF/DAZ).
I always have been inspired by methodology and teachers, who make you enjoy the class and keep it diverse. I've helped and taught kids and adolescents in projects in South America and worked with adolescents and adults in Switzerland and Online. My experience made me aware of the importance of asking questions and listening carefully to each other. I would evaluate your personal needs, as well as guide and correct you in a friendly manner.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
You learn a language practicing all it's forms (speaking, reading, writing, and listening). Fun fact: Modern science has shown that pleasure reading has a way higher influence on reaching fluency, than regular grammar classes.
To learn a language means: to learn about the foundation of a language, experiment with the language, and connect the language with emotions and experiences that form memories. If you are struggling to learn German in a classroom, my methodology can offer various tools and new customized pathways to language learning.
I only teach adult learners. My curriculum is designed for adults. For German lessons for adolescents, please contact me in advance to discuss.

It was a great lesson. I talked most of the time. She corrects me when necessary and writes down the mistakes.
She is a very good and friendly teacher.

Simona is truly an excellent teacher! She is kind and funny. She always lets me speak and writes down my mistakes so I can learn from them. The lesson time always flies by! It's a pleasure to talk with her and learn together. I highly recommend her lessons to anyone who wants to improve their German in a pleasant and engaging environment.

Simona makes learning German fun. She is very nice and when you make a mistake she writes it down in the chat and let's you know in a nice way. Conversation is very smooth and easy.
