German & Swiss German teacher with 6+ years of experience Hallo, ich bin Ben! Ich bin in der Schweiz geboren und in einer mehrsprachigen Familie aufgewachsen, was wohl zu meiner Liebe zu Sprachen beigetragen hat. Ich habe schon immer gerne Sprachen gelernt und unterrichtet, und bin mittlerweile ziemlich gut darin! Hi, I'm Ben! I was born and raised in Switzerland in a multilingual household, which contributed to my love of languages. I've always loved both learning and teaching them, and I like to think I've gotten pretty good at it! I've been teaching German in various settings for 10 years. I'm a calm and patient teacher who always tries to take the learner's point of view. Don't worry about making mistakes - that's how you learn! My teaching experience goes beyond the classroom - I've also been a football (soccer) coach for close to a decade. Additionally, I'm a trained architect, a profession where I have to communicate complex concepts simply and clearly - a very useful skill for teaching languages! My lessons are driven by my students' needs and interests. I like to teach using questions, helping you make connections from what you already know. I've found this approach to be a lot more engaging and effective than rote memorization.

Last year I started taking some Swiss German lessons with Benjamin to feel more comfortable speaking with my Swiss colleagues. It has helped me a lot. Every week Benjamin helped me with words I heard and didn’t understood at work and explained me the basic grammar rules. Now I feel much more confident and at ease at work. I can definitely recommend Benjamin as a teacher. He always prepared the lessons well and can explain the language in an easy and fun way. He is a good listener and has a lot of patience. Danche vielmal Benjamin:)

Der Lehrer war sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Er hatte PowerPoint-Folien vorbereitet, die wir durchgingen und zu denen wir interaktive Übungen erstellten. Sie waren sehr hilfreich.

Benjamin war in den letzten Monaten ein grossartiger Lehrer. Er ist sehr geduldig, freundlich und geht individuell auf die Bedürfnisse seiner Schüler:innen ein. Besonders positiv finde ich, dass er jede Unterrichtsstunde auf die persönlichen Lernziele abstimmt und immer bestens vorbereitet ist. Ich habe mich im Unterricht sehr wohl gefühlt und konnte viel profitieren. Vielen Dank für die tolle Unterstützung!
