Bio

I am an older woman with a mixed German-South African background. After about 30 years in Europe I've come home and aim to do what I am good at!

I am a natural facilitator and have usually taught administrative or computer skills, languages, or music. I have coached university students, have a diploma in group work and a certificate in Adult Education. Besides being patient and good-natured, I usually find a way around problems. I am willing to work hard on syllabus requirements so that you can be sure to benefit!

Education

• Music in Basel, commercial certificate, administrative and teaching work experience, psychodrama/sociodrama diploma (Zurich), adult education certificate (Zurich), MA social anthropology and history.

My Proudest
Achievements

• I am very proud of having been able to guide two young adult refugees through the complications of studying in a foreign language right up to their MA thesis. I am also proud of having finished studying the second time around with an average of over 80% for my MA degree ... in my mid-fifties!

Subjects

  • School Tutoring

German

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I have taught beginners and intermediate students love to teach. I lived in the German speaking part of Switzerland for about 30 years and am totally bilingual. Having worked with refugees I have experience with people from different backgrounds.

History

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I love history almost more than anything else and would enjoy opening it up to students and scholars. Everything matters - location, economics, culture and the time one is looking at. History is the best way to undertand the world around us!

French

Grade 1 - Grade 8

I speak reasonably good French, having lived in Switzerland where one simply can't do without it. I can teach grammar and pronunciation to beginners and students at intermediate levels.
