The tutor Swiss expats trust

Hello! I'm a university graduate in language education, fluent in German, English, and Hungarian. Over 24 years, I've helped hundreds of students—but my speciality is expats building a life in Switzerland.

With examiner training under my belt, I know exactly what assessors look for and how points are awarded at each level. More importantly, I understand the Swiss naturalisation process deeply: which level you need for permits, what's required for citizenship, and how different cantons vary. I've guided countless students through every stage.

My teaching is practical and personalised. No textbooks—just lessons built around your real life in Switzerland, from navigating bureaucracy to chatting with your neighbours.

I came to Nora with a pretty unrealistic request: "Can you get me from A1 to A2 in two weeks?" She didn't hesitate. She started lessons the next day and built a plan completely tailored to what I needed. A few days before the test, I already felt confident. And I passed.

Elle est très pédagogue et très pointue notamment en ce qui concerne la grammaire. J'ai obtenu mon B2 avec le score moyen de 88% (et 100% en expression écrite!). Nous la recommandons à toute personne souhaitant progresser en allemand.

I have been working with Nora for many years. She took me from a relatively beginner level to a more advanced level and also helped me prepare for the B1 Goethe exam. She's always well prepared but also very flexible.
