About Me
Let me introduce myself briefly. I am a citizen of USA, Switzerland and Peru. I speak five languages fluently. I have the proficiency certificate in English and German. I have previously studied my BA and MA in International Relations and Political Science in Paris, France and London, UK as I wanted to be a diplomat at first. In my early adolescence I grew up in Switzerland and in my early teens my parents decided to venture to Singapore where I graduated in the German School Singapore.I slipped into the educational world pretty much by accident 5 years ago. Before, my career was in the business world in Singapore. I started as a tutor pretty much by chance and then followed up with a fast track teaching course in the most widely recognized teachers school in Zurich (PH) Switzerland. There I was trained as a primary teacher with the latest cutting edge tools in Pedagogy. Nevertheless I decided to focus on private teaching for the most prestigious international school in Zurich (Zurich International School) and other local Swiss Schools.
My overall aim is to nurture children from any age and background in almost every subject. What I am passionate the most is to be able to have a wide variety of kids who give me their trust to learn at their own pace with their wants and needs. It is essential to me that the child comes first. My overall teaching methods evolve around identifying and promoting the strengths of the childs personality and not focus on the deficits using my intuition and wide experience and background. In my experience, the most important outcome of any teaching assignment is for the child to create his or her own new learning strategies.

A very supportive and encouraging teacher, able to engage them fully at various ages and build their confidence and enthusiasm for German. It's been a fantastic experience!
Patrick demonstrated confidence on the first meeting with my son, and hence the confidence spread to my son who got enthusiastic to continue the learning with him. Patrick was able to build my son’s motivation as well and knew how to establish the good interactions from the start.
Patrick is a very good and accesible teacher. We are very satisfied with the lessons.

English teacher with plenty of experience and patienceIf you want to learn English language, I am here to help you. It is not difficult as it may look, but you have to be persistent if you want to reach your goal. Let me show you that English classes can be fun and studying can be interesting.
I'm an English teacher for more than six years and I have plenty of experience. At the beginning of the course, studying material is particularly selected for each student depending on their level of knowledge. After the type of course is determined, focus is on the weak spots and improving whatever skill a student is lacking in. Speaking is always emphasized. In class students can suggest other materials, books etc and ask for lessons they want to study. Asking questions is always a good thing and cooperation between teacher and a student is crucial. If you agree, contact me and start your English course today!
I'm looking forward to helping you learn English!
