I am a German and French native speaker from Switzerland with Texas-teacher certification for German and French, a Kindergarten Certification and a Master Degree, that includes Math Algebra and Calculus, Science and Latin certifications, with major in Italian Language and Art History, minor in History of French language.

Before I came to America, I enjoyed teaching Languages and Art at the Public High School in Switzerland. When I started homeschooling my two children, I formed a parent group and I was happy to be able to teach German and Art Classes.
I think that the development of confidence in the own learning style and the promotion of independent study skills are the key for success at every academic level.

Today, I offer tutoring in German, French, Italian and Latin as well as support in all subjects at the Preschool, Elementary and Junior High level.

My teaching method promotes skills in communication and grammar as well as support in all other subject areas - from preschool age to high school - by keeping the student visually engaged and verbally interactive in a fun learning environment.

My educational background is as follows: Master's Degree, University of Zurich, Switzerland, in History of language and literature of Italian language, History of French language and Art History, Texas Teacher Certification German and French, Kindergarten Teacher Certification.
