ABOUT
I love to explore our world through language and travel. Over the past 15 years, I’ve travelled extensively and have grown an understanding of culture and different perspectives from around the world. I am also able to communicate in four different languages, English, German, Spanish and Italian.
For over a decade I have been working with children, specifically children with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). I help them to concentrate better by practicing mental and body exercises and teach them how to use creativity and form that kind of space in their everyday life.
My career began teaching at three of the most reputable private/independent schools in Bristol, United Kingdom: Bristol Grammar School, Queen Elizabeth’s Hospital and Clifton High School. My passion for teaching art grew after studying “intercultural communications” in Cologne, Germany and Art at Freie Kunsthochschule in Stuttgart, Germany. Today, I use my training to teach children how to channel their creativity through art.
I am also a certified ski instructor and teach children from around the world the joy of skiing at Davos, Switzerland.
I was born and raised in Stuttgart, Germany. I am currently living in Zurich, Switzerland. I enjoy being close to the mountains, lakes and nature. I love going skiing in winter and hiking and riding in the summer. For me Zurich is the best place to be.
TESTIMONIAL
Ramona has been supporting my son in 6th grade with Math, English and German and made a significant impact on his grades and approach to learning. Last year my son was struggling in math and was very demotivated. I contacted Ramona who gave a trial lesson. Immediately she connected and understood how my son worked and since then, they have been working together successfully! Ramona is extremely competent, reliable, fun and very understanding. I would highly recommend Ramona, she will change things around for you!
«For our 9 year old daughter, we were looking for a German private tutor, who would be willing to adapt to her particular needs and language challenges and offer an unconventional style of learning that would get our daughter excited about getting tutor lessons in a language in which she is not yet too comfortable. We were therefore less interested in a structured introduction to German, where one reads from a textbook and performs boring tasks. She gets that at school. We instead needed a more open-ended approach based on interest, everyday topics and conversation meeting our 4th grader at her eye level and improving her vocabulary in addition to her grammatical understanding.
We were also seeking a teaching style that would build up her ability to speak German on a foundation of being able to write competently and grammatically correct getting comfortable with the many grammatical rules in German. We started in the 4th grade to strengthen this foundation with the intention of focusing tutor efforts on Gymi-Prüfung preparations starting from the 5th grade.
Since July 2019 under Ramona, we are happy to say that these needs have been resoundingly met. Another strength of Ramona is that, if one takes the private (one-on-one) lessons, she will adapt to one’s schedule. Our daughter has a hectic school life and many extracurricular activities so this flexibility was not just a bonus but a necessity!»
«Ramona is one of the greatest language teacher I ever had. She was always very punctual, passionate and friendly with our daughter Carolina. First we were kind of afraid that Carolina will lose interest very fast, but with Ramona she really enjoy her time and the classes were going so well. The teaching material is good and suitable for private lessons but I think it wouldn’t be so efficient without Ramona’s teaching methods (e.g. pointing at real objects when learning new words for our visual memory). I think that Carolina was learning a lot (more than expected) even without putting a lot of effort into it – outside the private German classes. I would recommend learning German with Ramona as a teacher to anyone who wants to learn and get to know more of the German culture.»
«Ramona was really lovely in teaching German to our 2 old son. She spend half a day with us two times a week mostly in the mornings. She was well educated and had a very positive attitude. Her impact and her help helped us a lot. She was a great support and very nice in dealing with our son. She speaks fluent English and Italian which also helped us a lot. She has a very funny, active, child oriented and reliable personality. Thank you so much for your time.»
«My daughter (7 years old) got coaching by Ramona due to her attention deficit that caused issues at school. During the 12 week coaching “Calm Kid” Ramona has done painting therapy, focusing exercises, etc. Together with other supporting measures, my daughter has made progress in these 3 months and we are all happy that my daughter has made such a development – not only, but also thanks to Ramona. I want to use this opportunity to say thank you for your help, Ramona.»
As an expat living in Zurich, Switzerland, I wanted to have a good understanding of the language so I could better integrate into society here. In my first year, I attended a school where I was learning high German for two and a half hours a week. I wanted to supplement my in-class learning with a private tutor and found Ramona through a facebook recommendation. She is authentic in her approach and has a good balance between teaching the language and patience for learning. We would work on my course material and supplemental lessons that were adapted to my learning style. Once we went for lunch to help me practice. If you want a straight talker, with a kind heart, I would recommend Ramona as a language tutor.
I had the pleasure of working with Ramona for over 1.5 years now teaching German to my daughter Elin (10) and my son Jean (8). We are an English only speaking expat family and I was looking for a German tutor to help expand their German knowledge as they both attend a bilingual school and need a little bit of extra help outside of the school system. She is a driven and organized teacher and I love her interaction with the children who have very different learning requirements and strengths. She is punctual and flexible with a very positive attitude which means the children are happy and looking forward to their lessons. She is also very capable of inspiring them to learn on days when they are not so much In the mood ! In conclusion I would highly recommend Ramona to you as a German language teacher without reservation.
Ramona has been working with our two boys as we transitioned into life in Switzerland, helping them learn German and further more about the culture. She has been easy to speak with and receptive to feedback from me about what works best for our boys as far as learning styles and strategies. Her openness and caring are evident in her interactions with our boys and us. Thank you so much for helping quickly integrate and make friends in Switzerland.
Ramona teaches our 6 year old son High German. She teaches in a playful manner and my son is always eager to meet her. She visits us twice a week and we see positive changes in his language understanding and speaking abilities. I would recommend Ramona for integrating into a new language and a new culture.
Miss Ramona Feyrer is a professional and to the point language teacher. She delivers a quite pleasant lesson maintaining a positive vibe.. I chose her because she made me feel that she is a qualified teacher who will help me improve my German language skills. She offers a goal-oriented language instruction and above all she makes me feel more confident as a German language learner.
Ramona teaches our 6-year-old daughter English. She always brings a lot of positive energy and excitement and her teaching process is very playful. She visits us once a week and our daughter is always looking forward to meeting her. After only a few months, we can already see great improvements in Anna’s language understanding and speaking abilities.
Working together has been a pleasure for us. We are very pleased with Ramona as our German Tutor. Our 5-year-old son is very happy with Ramona, too. He started the lessons only 6 months ago, and we appreciate the progress made by our son with Ramona’s help. Her teaching methods through games and her positive attitude always makes our son stay focused and enjoy every lesson. They have a lot of fun together and laugh very much. We have been looking forward to the three lessons every week / every time. We highly recommend Ramona as a teacher, coach and tutor for kids.
«Ramona tutors my 10-year-old daughter in German. We speak English at home and my daughter needs additional support to help her succeed in 4th grade at our local school. Ramona has been flexible with our schedule and also in her approach to teaching. I think that working together will help her feel comfortable with speaking and understanding grammatical concepts. I would unquestionably recommend Ramona as a tutor for any child in any age.»
Our kids (4 & 6) take lessons with Ramona and really enjoy it. We saw improvements even after a few lessons and the kids are happy with her playful approach. Ramona is very professional and friendly. We have stopped looking for other tutors since seeing our children become much more confident in their German after lessons with Ramona.»
«Ramona is super professional and accommodating, we’ve been pleased working with her, and she’s great with kids, so they find learning fun. We happily recommend her to everyone.»
Ramona teaches our 6-year-old son German once a week at our home. She teaches in an informal, relaxed and playful manner which our son likes very much. She has many ways of conducting the class and allows the child to choose what they want to work with. This makes the child feel included and more in control of their learning. Our son looks forward to the lesson, and we can highly recommend Ramona.
If you start from scratch, or you would very much like your child to improve his or her knowledge, it’s a must-have to contact Ramona. She is perfectly structured and following all her steps you will learn proper grammar and all the required words and expressions that reflect the respective level of your child. Ramona has put a lot of efforts in creating her programs, and you will be impressed with what she can achieve in such a short time period. She prepares lessons and activities as well as helpful exercises & videos. We highly recommend her as a German tutor. She is a thorough, helpful and organised instructor and makes the lessons fun yet challenging for our girl Chloe. We started off working with Ramona as a skiing instructor in Davos. In Zurich city we continued to keep her as our German tutor for our 5-year-old who was raised in English as her first language. Chloe goes to ZIS.
We first met Ramona while skiing in Davos in 2016, with our children Nicholine (6) and Wilhelm (5). We signed the children up for the ski school and noticed very early that Ramona had a special connection with children. The way she spoke to them, respected them and trained them, with a strict but loving hand, was very nice as parents to observe. She taught our children how to enjoy the art of skiing and to always have fun in the slopes. She also spoke both english and german with the kids during the ski lessons. We always requested Ramona as the ski teacher every time we returned back to Davos. She is always positive, smiling, talented and fun to be around. After all this time together, we all consider her as a good friend. There are no other ski teacher we would recommend more than Ramona!
It’s my pleasure to recommend Ramona as a great teacher for German. She’s been teaching our 7-yr. son for 8+ months now. As nobody had been speaking German in our family prior to relocating to Switzerland, our son initially had difficulties understanding the school program (conducted in High German) and interacting with other children. With the help of Ramona, he was able to make a noticeable progress that’s been recognized by the teachers and our German speaking friends. Ramona knows the school requirements for German, is able to tailor her teaching methods to the child’s needs, and is always very flexible at accommodating our requests. No matter how tired our son is after classes, he is always looking forward to a lesson with Ramona. We’re happy to continue our cooperation with her as long as we can and she is not fully booked 🙂
Ramona teaches our 6 your old boy as he transitioned from ICS to the local Swiss schooling system. She helps him learning high German in a playful and entertaining way so that he is always happy to meet her and eager to learn. We are seeing improvements in his language skills and especially in his confidence. I highly recommend Ramona as a teacher and tutor for kids!
We recently moved to Switzerland and our 5-year-old daughter couldn’t grab enough German at school. The teacher proposed to get her additional private German lessons, and this is how we met Ramona.
After 6 months of intensive lessons, we noticed huge progress in our daughter’s ability to speak and understand German. With big surprise, this also confirmed her school teacher.
Ramona is professional and very flexible. Her teaching methodology is fun and active, with lots of various materials to adapt to the child’s needs. Our daughter loves her and is always looking forward to lessons with Ramona.
Ramona has been working with my two daughters (4,6) for nearly a year. After moving to Zurich without any basis in German, my daughters have tremendously benefitted from her method, which is intense but fun. She has a natural warmth and affection that makes the children feel very at ease and open to learning. They look forward to their sessions with Ramona and have become much more enthusiastic about the German language as a result.
