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 gets you there faster.
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.
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.
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.
People come to me after trying different approaches.
A course that felt like school.
Too many rules, or too little structure and no direction.
They didn’t see where it was going.
Mental check-out after three weeks.
Speaking postponed to ‚later‘.
With me, that changes.
As a Neurolanguage Coach®, I don’t just teach German.
I guide you, but don’t overload.
I build with you, not on top of you.
You speak and think: okay, that actually sounded like something.
Not perfect, but just saying it.
With a small but powerful number of structures
that already let you say a lot.
And when you sit in the exam,
you’re not guessing.
Not because you learned everything.
Because you finally learned the right things
and know how to respond.
You don’t need to memorize more and more rules
or a thousand fancy words.
I help you say a lot with little.
So speaking in the exam feels like something you can do,
not something you just survive.
This is also me
I’ve been on your side too
Beyond my work, I’m also a mom and a language learner myself.
I’ve 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 it probably says something about how I work:
focused, but never stiff.
