HI, I am Nadia

I make your German exam-ready.

You can take a standard German course.
But if your goal is to pass the exam,
a more direct way simply makes more sense.

Time is precious.
And you probably don’t want to spend it on endless exercises
that have little to do with the actual exam.

That’s why I chose to work differently.
With a clear focus on preparing you, not teaching you everything.

„Adding more and more rules is not the key. Perfect grammar isn’t either. Clarity, structure and simplicity are. And the confidence to actually speak. That’s what I focus on when we work together.“

WHY I CAN GUIDE YOU

I’ve seen the exam from the other side

I’ve been working for more than 15 years with people who have made Switzerland their new home.
Over the years, I’ve helped many people feel ready for their exams.

As a former certified TELC examiner, I’ve seen the exam from the other side. I know how it’s assessed and what examiners actually look for.

Over the years, I’ve helped many people feel ready for their exams. TELC, Goethe, SDS, FIDE. Yes, there are quite a few, I know.

This is one part of what I bring into our work. Let me tell you about the other.

You probably know what happens when nerves take over. You forget words you normally know. You speak less clearly than you usually do.

Trained in Neurolanguage Coaching®, I understand how stress, pressure and lack of orientation can affect how you use your German.

That’s why I work with clear structure, clear guidance and a strong focus on what you actually need.

I take the time to understand where you are. And support you step by step, in a way that feels simple and manageable.

A bit more about me


Beyond my work, I’m also a mom and a language learner myself.
I lived abroad for several years.
So I know what it means to build a life in a new country and to navigate daily life in a language
that isn’t your own… and how humbling it can be when a five-year-old speaks better than you.

I grew up in a bicultural family in a very international neighbourhood in lovely Bern.
Language, culture and identity were part of my everyday life long before they became my profession.
I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Social Anthropology,
which shaped how I understand communication, culture and human interaction.

When I’m not working, you’ll most likely find me with my son or dancing.
I have a passion for Latin dance and love to move whenever I feel the rhythm.
It keeps me grounded and probably also says something about how I work:
focused, but never stiff.

She finds you precisely where you are, regardless of your ability; and then knows exactly which levers to pull to get you to the next level. But you won’t hardly notice that she’s pulling them: the hours will fly by.

Uno de mis retos cuando empecé a trabajar con ella fue aprobar el examen B2 de alemán. El compromiso, la empatía, la coherencia y reflexiones no solo me llevaron a aprobar mi examen de alemán, sino que también a tener seguridad en mí misma que antes no tenía.
Giselle I.Educator, Zürich
She helped me overcome this block in my head with learning new concepts and grammar in german. I felt as a teacher she is kind and super motivated to help me achieve my goals.
Narayan R.IT-Professional, Bern
Nadia is an excellent Germancoach. She provides a unique balance of structure and communication while keeping the sessions interesting and fun. I highly recommend Nadia, as she will tune in to one’s particular needs.
