FLUENT KID
Language lessons – the joy of being multilingual
Our ability to understand and be understood can have a positive impact on our experiences. By giving the gift of language to your children, you’re training their brains to solve complex problems, boost creativity, build self-esteem and increase attention span.
Learning a foreign and new language involves effort, for both children and adults, but the younger you are the easier it is – after all, do you remember learning to speak English?
My approach is to use different teaching techniques, catered to the individual child to allow them to explore the language and enjoy the process of speaking and learning this new skill. But it always has to be fun!
I use the MPF technique – Meaning, Pronunciation and Form. The lessons will use all three of these so children are able to learn new words and understand grammar structure.
We usually begin a lesson with a short review of previous, prerequisite learning or with a short discussion about a topic of interest to get the children talking and to feel comfortable. I present new material in small segments and always review to ensure comprehension. I use games and fun exercises for better retention.
The most important part is to overcome inhibitions in a safe and comfortable environment and practice speaking about subjects that are interesting to them under the guidance of experienced native speakers like me.
Currently I speak and teach four languages:
- German (my mother language)
- English
- Spanish
- Italian
Due to the current situation, I am able to teach lessons online using different apps such as What’s App, Facetime, Skype or Google hangout. My schedule is flexible to allow for the best time that meets your needs.

ART KID
Art lessons - a colorful self-expression
In collaborating with your child, we will find out together what is fun for them and how they can transform their ideas into a creative masterpiece.
Encounters with art give us new stimuli and ideas, which we can implement creatively in our work. Together with your child, we will decide which technique is most suitable:
- acrylic paint
- poster/collage
- wet in wet technique
- pastel chalks and oil chalks
- gouache (water-dilutable)
- hot wax drawings
- watercolor pencils
- watercolors
It’s important that your child enjoys this process of creating. My enthusiastic and admiring way of communicating allows the children to let go of some inhibitions and open themselves up to self-expression through the meta-language of art.
The benefits of art and being creative for kids, is just a fun activity, but it also helps them further develop their fine motor skills and can allow them to process and deal with their emotions in a safe way.

CALM KID
ADHD / ADD – a natural approach
Does your child have difficulty focusing and controlling impulses? Are they glued to their technology? Do they find it difficult to move from one activity to another? Or do they seem disorganized?
Living with ADD myself, I can attest to the challenges and struggles your child may be feeling. Fortunately, I discovered tools and techniques to support and motivate me through my schooling and everyday life and have now developed a new program to support kids in similar circumstances.
In my 12-week program I use reward-based behaviour to help kids learn and bring calm to their lives. Studies show this approach can increase the ‘feel good’ chemicals in the brain. Through the program, I consult parents and children on food, exercise, music and art classes and mindfulness techniques, all to help your child be more focused and feel better.
My work is predominantly with children from ages 6 – 12 years old. I build trust and maintain a safe environment to allow your child to feel comfortable as we work on how to deal with their strong emotions and how to maintain their attention. Each child is different and I cater the program to their individual needs and strengths.
Mindfulness is a growing tool you hear so much about and is and a great asset in my 12-week program. It allows children to monitor their thoughts and feelings without judgments or other reactivity. They develop an awareness and understanding of their emotions and how it manifests in their bodies.
After the completion of the 12-week program children have shown their ADHD symptoms to have significantly decreased. I also feel it’s important to maintain consistency and continue to provide support to your child and you.

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.

CONTACTTESTIMONIAL

«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 6months 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.
