Individual online Writing and Language Coaching for Expats
A picture of me will follow soon.
What’s important to me:
That expat students not only master their exams and their next goals thanks to good German.I hope that the 1:1 and the group meetings likewise with me will make them feel more and more at home in our language: imagine you can joke around in German.
Anoushka, expat in Zurich:
«I spent about half a year improving my German with Gaby. Both my skills and my self-confidence have improved a lot during this time. As a student, it makes a big difference when your teacher has confidence in you. Since we didn't have much time, Gaby showed me how to improve what I already knew. Thanks to her guidance and detailed structure, I was able to do well on both the German oral and written Matura exams. Her lessons were never boring, and I would recommend her to any prospective student.»
Fe, from Zurich:
«I was preparing for the Matura essay with Gaby. Thanks to her preparation, I received a 6 on this essay. Gaby gave me the support I needed to pass this exam in just a few lessons. She is an incredibly talented writer, but also a very motivating and empathetic person. I highly recommend Gaby, not only because she gives good advice, but the meetings with her are simply fun.»
Tiziana, Mother of a secondary class student from Zurich:
«Hey! Laura is really loving it. She's excited to actually learn something (finally 🙈).»
