"I still remember my own school days well. During grammar school and also later in my sociology studies, I dealt intensively with a wide variety of learning content. With some subjects I was immediately hooked, with others I had to slave away. In retrospect, confusing formulations or methods were often the only obstacles in my way.
So today, when coaching students, I approach each person as an individual. I want to understand how my counterpart thinks and where there are knots that we need to tackle together. I want to give the children I coach exactly the method and the knowledge that will help them personally.

"I enjoy working with children, adolescents and young adults on their way to achieving their goals. It is always great for me to observe their development.
I taught at grammar schools and vocational schools. At both I was able to experience how individually students absorb and process material.
In the lessons of Perspectiva Nova, in individual or small group lessons, I can respond to the individual needs and previous knowledge of the children, teenagers and young adults. In this way, I can support the learners on their way, and so the students experience their personal sense of achievement directly on the way to their goal."

"Learning new things, approaching problems with curiosity and thinking my way into questions is fun for me and I like to pass on this enthusiasm. It is important to me that students have positive learning experiences so that they can face future challenges with confidence.
The lessons alone, in pairs or in small groups make it possible to individually address the questions of the students and to specifically promote their strengths. In this way, we can develop extended learning methods that are not possible in the classroom in order to learn independently and successfully.
I started teaching at an early age and had the chance to accompany classes as a trainee. With my open and cheerful nature, I can communicate well with children and young people and enjoy working together."

"Even during my architecture studies at the ETH, it always gave me great pleasure to accompany young people in the development of subject areas. I am deeply convinced that in the connectedness of one-to-one teaching, even the most difficult topics can be made accessible. For this reason, the well-being of my learners is very close to my heart.
Having gone through primary, secondary school, grammar school, apprenticeship as well as university, I can connect with my counterpart through different channels. Architecture is representative of my structure and precision.
In my spare time you can find me either rowing on the lake or playing music in the band room."

"After working for more than 20 years at various banks, it was my wish to pass on the knowledge I had learned in the degree courses in a meaningful way. At Perspectiva Nova, I found this opportunity for myself. As a father of two children, I have a lot of patience and understanding, which helps me in my work as a teacher at Perspectiva Nova. I am always aware that every child, adolescent or adult has individual needs.
Thanks to my profound experience from my activities as a counsellor and teacher, I glibly draw on practical examples from the learners' lives and explain patiently and comprehensibly in such a way that, at best, intrinsic motivation is awakened. As a result, things that didn't work before suddenly work out.
It makes me happy when children, teenagers and adults can pick up their success through my lessons."

"Working towards a goal together with my students gives me great pleasure. I am very interested in taking my students where they want to go. This is how I achieve the goal of my dream job as a secondary school teacher.
Perspectiva Nova gives me the opportunity to teach in individual or small group settings, in which I can intensively accompany the learning process of my students and thus respond to their individual needs for support. This is also a great change from the daily school routine in a lively classroom setting.
It is important for me to experience how my students develop potential together with me, which ultimately awakens and strengthens their self-confidence in their own abilities. It makes me happy every time I experience an "aha" moment with my students and see progress in their learning.

"I am an open-minded and communicative person who has been accompanying and supporting pupils in their learning for several years, both privately and in primary school. It gives me great pleasure when I can solve comprehension problems and strengthen the self-confidence of children and young people.
It is always a great concern of mine to show the learners appropriate working strategies so that they can fully realise their potential. As a mother of two children (born in 2004 and 2006), I know very well the challenges that students face in primary school.
In my spare time, I love reading novels and going for long walks with the family dog, a four-year-old golden retriever."

"I convince with my talent to motivate children and to inspire them for the subject matter. A trusting relationship succeeds through individual support and competence-oriented learning, which I particularly value. Cooperation, respect and transparency are also important values for me in the classroom.
My heart beats for German, English and mathematics, but I also enjoy teaching other subjects. In my free time, I read a lot and enjoy climbing and hiking in the great outdoors. Another great passion of mine is music, which I have been indulging in for countless years."

"For many years I have been passionate about supporting children, young people and adults on their educational journey and am delighted that with the professional team of teachers at Perspectiva Nova we have already been able to achieve hundreds of goals. I love to help where I am needed!
We work with the experience that the interpersonal relationship contributes much more to the learning process than some would think. The development of interdisciplinary competences, so-called soft skills, is our top priority so that the children and young people soon learn to help themselves.
I am a trained secondary school teacher and have taught at numerous schools in the canton of Zurich and gained very valuable impressions in schools in Asia and Africa. I am currently continuing my education at the School of Special Needs Education and expect to obtain a CAS in Autism in Childhood and Adolescence in June 2024. I have been teaching students in individual and group settings for fourteen years and am very proud to be able to count on a professional and motivated team of teachers.

"Supporting pupils and students in their learning process has always been close to my heart. I was once able to benefit from tutoring myself and was thus able to develop in many areas. For many years now, I have used this as an incentive to pass on my enthusiasm for the German language, mathematics and biology to students.
In addition to my top-heavy work in medical research, it is a great pleasure for me to be able to work with young people and adults and to promote their learning skills individually."

"My teaching experience started with completing the basic teacher training and various internships in primary and secondary schools at the Pädagogische Maturitätsschule. I also gained in-depth experience as a tutor in the Schülerhilfe in Germany, where I taught in group and individual classes. These experiences have developed my pedagogical skills and have shown me the importance of responding to the individual needs and learning styles of students in a creative and open way.
My bilingualism in German and French, coupled with my good English skills, enables me to provide students with a solid foundation in all three languages. I am also enthusiastic about other subjects such as mathematics and the humanities.
Away from teaching, I have a creative side that I enjoy expressing through design, tailoring, painting and drawing. This creative approach helps me find innovative ways to teach complex subjects and help students reach their full potential.
In my teaching, it is important to me to create an inspiring learning environment where students feel comfortable and supported. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed and I look forward to guiding and supporting them on their educational journey."

"After a two-year stay in Mexico, I returned to Switzerland and started working in the real estate industry. I completed further training as a real estate marketing assistant and shortly afterwards became the happy mummy of a young son.
Now I work in administration at Perspectiva Nova AG and it makes me proud to be part of the professional and dynamic team. With ease, our motivated teachers successfully establish a respectful relationship with the students by encouraging their talents and helping to reduce their weaknesses. They thus ensure optimal support. As a mother, it impresses me to see how well our school system works when we work symbiotically with it and as tutors support individuals to achieve their goals."

"What I like about teaching in an individual setting is that I can support the students in honing their strengths and have the opportunity to offer them the material they need if they have gaps. It is important to me that I work with the curiosity and initiative of the students and thus awaken their intrinsic motivation and strengthen their independence and confidence in their own abilities and skills.
After my apprenticeship as a polymechanic, I learned bit by bit on the second educational path how learning works best for me. Practical relevance and networking with previous knowledge are important factors - but enjoyment also plays a role. So I like to support my students in not losing sight of the fun in learning.

"Curiosity and a lifelong fascination with learning are the reasons why I have been teaching young people and adults for almost a decade. Each:r learner:r needs to be treated as a unique person. It is important to me that my interest in the people I work with is palpable.
I support learners with all kinds of tasks in German and English. The variety that Perspectiva Nova offers is very appealing as a teacher. If the students are successful, then I was successful too. Privately, I like to travel to new places, preferably with a book in my hand. On weekends, you can find me at the theatre, cinema or concerts."

"I completed my Matura with a classical language profile at the Kantonsschule Zürcher Unterland. After a shortened IT apprenticeship, I studied IT at the University of Zurich.
In my school career, I have learned that success in a subject often correlates with the way it is taught. My priority is therefore always to adapt my teaching style to the students. In addition to teaching the material, it is also important for me to pass on learning techniques. In this way, the greatest success can be achieved across all subjects.

"I am an enthusiastic teacher. I have been working with children for many years and I love helping them discover their talents and realise their full potential. I find one-to-one tuition and tutoring particularly exciting as it can be tailored to the individual needs of the student and allows them to progress quickly.
In my free time, I have been a ski coach in the club for more than ten years. Fun and trying things out on my own are very much in the foreground. My experience as a ski instructor has taught me how important good communication and a positive attitude are in order to promote the learning progress of my students.

"Learning opens up a multitude of new horizons. I am always happy to help students organise their work and develop their own learning strategies, whether in mathematics, science or French, English and Italian. My goal is to help students achieve the success they are striving for.
Seeing my students gradually progress and gain confidence is the most rewarding aspect of tutoring. It is a privilege to witness these moments when they discover new perspectives.
I love science and languages. Having lived in several countries, I had the opportunity to learn French, English, Russian, German and Italian fluently. I was fascinated by the world of natural sciences from an early age. As a microbiologist and immunologist, I know very well how important teaching and learning strategies are!"

"Besides working in secondary school classes, I enjoy teaching in individual and small group settings at Perspectiva Nova. Here I can specifically address the individual needs of the learners.
It is very important to me to show my students their own potential and to let them discover it themselves. I also always try to transfer some of my enthusiasm for the subjects to my students in order to awaken their joy in the subject and in learning in general.
As a balance to teaching, I love playing guitar or going into nature."

"I have been tutoring since I was in high school. As I have always enjoyed imparting knowledge, I decided to become a primary school teacher. Currently, I teach as a class teacher in a 5th and 6th class.
I enjoy accompanying learners on their learning journey and celebrating successes with them. In doing so, it is essential for me to positively reinforce the learners and to inspire confidence in their own abilities.
My patient and understanding manner makes the learners feel comfortable with me. I am aware that a good learning environment is essential for successful learning!

"The aim of my teaching is to create a space for learning in which every student feels comfortable and can ask questions freely. With my motivating and cheerful manner, I succeed in getting learners excited about the content and believing in their own abilities.
The individual and group lessons at Perspectiva Nova enable me to respond individually to the students, to further develop their strengths and to work on their challenges in dealing with learning content. Through the targeted approach to the needs of the students and the individual support, the goals that are set are also achieved.
Through my studies as a secondary school teacher at the Zurich University of Teacher Education, I was already able to gain important experience in everyday school life. It gives me pleasure to see the sparkle in the eyes of children and young people. Especially when they have found a solution to a difficult task or have been able to implement a brilliant idea. With my humorous and open nature, it is easy for me to share the joy of learning."

"Thanks to my studies at the University of Teacher Education, I was able to gain a lot of experience in classroom teaching over time. To compensate, I also work as a caregiver for young people with physical disabilities, which is a fulfilling alternative to the regular school day.
Through my tutoring experiences during my time at grammar school, I quickly realised that I enjoy supporting the learning process in an individual setting. I want to accompany children and young people in challenging teaching-learning situations and give them the right tools so that they can solve challenging tasks independently in the future."

"Not being able to do something is the optimal starting point for successful cooperation. Only those who make mistakes and observe themselves can see what they can work on. In individual lessons, I can address the gaps but also the strengths of the learners, get to know them and achieve goals together. Perspectiva Nova offers flexible help here. I enjoy watching how learners solve their tasks themselves faster and faster and how I slowly become superfluous as a learning guide.
I have always been interested in problems and challenges that go beyond my current knowledge and skills. Be it in school, in sports, in music, in making personal contacts, etc.. I love challenges and I like people who do too. I am interested in and impressed by people, big and small, old and young, who want to get to know themselves better. That takes courage and willpower. Because what you recognise about yourself on the way forward doesn't always look pretty.
I studied movement sciences at the ETH (MSc ETH). After several years of research in the orthopaedic sector, I returned to ETH to obtain a teaching diploma for Matura schools in biology. For about ten years I have been teaching mainly science subjects at Sek I and Sek II level, but also languages and sports.
As a pupil, student, teacher, human being and as a former top athlete at international level, I have learned to fall down. And to get up again and again. Falling over, sitting down and getting up also accompany me in my other areas of interest; in nature, as a meditation and yoga teacher, in sport and dance."

"I have been pursuing my dream as a secondary school teacher for ten years. Through my studies at the Zurich University of Teacher Education, I was able to gain a lot of valuable experience, and every additional experience enriches my work. I especially appreciate working with young people who are facing important decisions for their future. Whether it is the transition to grammar school, secondary school or a vocational apprenticeship.
I love the work in the classroom, but also the role as a tutor at Perspectiva Nova for the quieter individual or small group settings. The teaching and learning takes on a different character, it becomes personal and I can pay individual attention to the strengths and weaknesses of the students.
I try to keep my teaching deliberately creative and refreshing, and always with a touch of humour. My aim is to provide students with a learning environment that is conducive to learning. to give them the tools they need to succeed and encourage them to trust themselves."

It gives me great pleasure to see how much competence, knowledge and heart is put into working with children, young people and adults. Respecting all pupils as persons is a matter of course and contributes a lot to the success of pupils and teachers, without social background playing a role.
I am a mother of four children and know that every child is unique and develops at its own pace. To be able to accompany them on the path of their personal level of achievement is exciting and a privilege".

"I consider the individual setting to be very valuable because there is so much more space to address individual needs and questions. Through empathy and awakening young people's curiosity and joy of discovery, I try to stimulate learning that is as sustainable as possible. Conversely, I also try not to lose my spirit of discovery completely and am always curious to find out what is moving the young people at the moment.
Accompanying people in finding their own solutions and the creative use of language are particularly close to my heart. I also enjoy using language in my free time, be it in the theatre, in films, in books or while travelling to learn or improve foreign languages.
As a trained secondary school teacher, I can now look back on several years of work experience in Switzerland and at the Swiss School Mexico."

"Because of my passion for the linguistic world, I obtained a Master of Arts in Italian and English Studies. I am fulfilled by passing on my analytical eye for languages and the enthusiasm for linguistic diversity that comes with them. As a teacher for Matura schools, I can live this out.
I have already gained experience at public schools, secondary schools, grammar schools and vocational schools. I am currently teaching my language skills at an adult school as well as at a vocational school.
My focus is on a positive and open relationship with the learners. I always try to put myself in the mindset of my learners in order to help them progress with individual examples and explanations. What is learned should be internalised in such a way that it serves as a basis for more independent and goal-oriented learning in the future. This is best achieved in one-to-one lessons."

"After I completed my Matura at the Kantonsschule Freudenberg in 2017 with a new-language profile, I was able to delve deeper into a foreign language that was completely unknown to me through my Japanese studies at the UZH. During my time at the Gymnasium and also during my studies, I was therefore able to acquire various learning methods that helped me to learn new foreign languages. Since I also studied geography as a minor subject, I am also familiar with learning methods for scientific subjects. I would like to share this knowledge with the students through my work at Perspectiva Nova.
When teaching in an individual setting, it is very important to me to strengthen the students' self-confidence and their belief in their own abilities. It is always nice to see how even small successes in class can motivate the students. I really enjoy working with children and young people in general and I am happy to be able to support them on their educational path.

"I try to pass on my passion for mathematics and accounting to my students in every lesson in order to awaken and develop their potential together (which they definitely have). I combine more complex tasks with situations from everyday life and the world my students live in. In this way, I also prepare them for life. Whether it is a preparation for a normal school exam, the central entrance exam to the Gymi or e.g. to the BMS - together we reach the goal! As a father of two school-age children, I know the challenges your children face.
In my free time I like to do sports such as cycling, jogging, football, swimming and Vitaparcours - because even teachers need to air their heads once in a while!"

"I have been supporting students of all ages on their learning journey for many years. A relaxed atmosphere is very important to me - school is usually strict enough. With a lot of sensitivity and patience, I try to introduce my students to topics that often don't seem so exciting at first contact. To do this, I always try to give insights into how this topic is perhaps important for the world we live in. This is very motivating, especially in mathematics, because it is not always obvious to many students what a certain topic is needed for in life.

"The form of working out and solving problems together in accordance with individual needs and interests still seems to be the most productive for both teachers and learners. In the spirit of Plato's ideal of friendly dialogue in pairs, this can be achieved in the context of the Perspectiva Nova Track.
In addition to my doctoral studies (assisting and teaching) in Ancient Greek at the UZH, teaching Greek and Latin in general at the grammar school level, especially in private lessons, offers a welcome change - not least because I really appreciate working with young people through my eight younger siblings.
I am very happy to share my great enthusiasm for modern Greece and ancient philosophy, and I myself am always fascinated by the topicality of ancient thought. Antiquity also becomes particularly tangible through classical archaeological excavations, which I regularly take part in (in Greece), and which I also try to bring in."

"I really enjoy individual tuition because it gives me the opportunity to respond specifically to individual needs. I especially enjoy it when students experience an "aha" moment with me.
With my teaching, I want my students not only to improve their grades, but also to develop a deeper understanding of the subjects. I find it important to try different teaching methods to find the right one for each student. As a passionate dancer and teacher, I have learned the importance of listening to the individual needs and talents of others.
I am a humorous, communicative and loving person. These qualities help me to build a positive and trusting relationship with my students. I wish only the best for all my tutoring students and am always motivated to support them on their way.

"I have been passionate about teaching since 1987. It fulfils me to work with children and young people and to accompany them on a part of their school career, be it in languages or mathematics.
I teach at a cantonal school in addition to private lessons at Perspectiva Nova. There I am the head of Italian, but I also teach other subjects such as French and German. I am also a class teacher and expert in Matura examinations as well as a practical teacher for teacher candidates.
Perspectiva Nova gives me a new opportunity: the insight into the learning environment at the children's and young people's homes and into the personal learning goals that I can achieve with them so much better and step by step. One-to-one tuition is an extremely effective way to help learners progress academically quickly and sustainably so that they can soon help themselves. I am always happy to meet new students!"

"My story at Perspectiva Nova already began in 2018: Perspectiva Nova not only successfully supported me in my Gymi exams at the short-term Gymnasium, but also accompanied me with great commitment during my school years. I am currently in the intermediate year before my studies and, as a homework corrector, I check the work of prospective secondary school students.
My favourite subjects are German, English and mathematics, but other subjects also fill me with great joy.
I have been passionate about football since I was five years old. From the beginning, I was taught important values such as team spirit, mutual motivation and self-reflection. These factors are not only important for success on the pitch, but also the most important approach when it comes to inspiring students to learn.
Reto Wietlisbach

"Learning is a unique process of linking new knowledge with what is already known. It is an individual journey for each person. In a classroom, it is often challenging to accommodate this individuality. Therefore, through its dialogical form, one-to-one teaching provides the perfect opportunity to find the key points that not only facilitate learning but also generate enthusiasm for the subject.
Through my own educational experience, where I completed the Matura on the second educational path, it is particularly important to me that my students recognise their own potential. I want to show them what is possible. With enthusiasm for the subject, awareness of one's own potential and a portion of commitment, moments of success arise that spur on further learning and thinking.
I often devote my free time to delving into ancient writings. It is fascinating to see how relevant many of the topics of that time still are today. Discussions and thoughts that were held and thought thousands of years ago still carry weight in our modern world.
At Perspectiva Nova, I value above all the appreciation of the uniqueness of each student. The understanding that each learner has his or her own path and can follow it with enthusiasm and support is for me a core value of this institution".

"Language teaching is both my profession and my hobby! I love teaching languages both as a secondary teacher in class and in a much more personal one-to-one setting, and I take the time to show students why it is so important to be able to speak several languages these days.
When teaching, I always relate to the students' lives and know many tips and tricks that even make learning Voci entertaining. My love of travelling and learning about foreign cultures and languages helps me to promote understanding of the languages taught here.
Perspectiva Nova gives me the opportunity to learn much faster and more intensively with the students in individual lessons, so that the fear of speaking, but also the grades in school, rise again quickly."

"During my studies of English and German language and literature, I was already able to introduce the English and German languages to students at different school levels in individual settings. That's when I realised that I find working with young people refreshing and that I value it very much.
Thanks to my many years of teaching experience at grammar schools, vocational colleges, technical colleges, language schools (DaZ lessons) and a primary school, I am very familiar with different learning and teaching methods and have come to the conclusion that basically all students can achieve learning success. I have found that it gives me great pleasure to provide practice material that is tailored to the learning needs of the students. My aim is to support the pupils with varied materials that are tailored to their interests as much as possible. In this way, the pupils feel noticed and often find access to the subject or the language and thus experience a sense of achievement.
I can pursue this concern particularly well in an individual setting, which I find very satisfying. In addition, a familiar learning environment, such as that provided by Perspectiva Nova, favours learning success.
In my free time I enjoy doing Kung Fu. There I am in the role of the student and therefore know about the importance of the interpersonal level in learning processes. I have noticed here, especially as a student, that the fun factor helps you to learn.

"After graduating from high school with a major in mathematics and physics, I completed my bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering for three years. Now I am doing a Master's in Robotics, Systems and Controls and ETH Zurich. I discovered my joy and strength for mathematics at an early age.
I imagine the compartment like a big machine with lots of different cogwheels. Only when all the cogs are present and correctly adjusted can the machine function. When all the sub-areas have been understood and internalised, you can master tasks that may have seemed foreign to you before.
Very often students have a good basic understanding of a mathematics topic, but they lack the right connections. In the one-to-one lesson, I can take the problem apart, find out which gears are missing or incorrectly adjusted and put them back together correctly. The goal is to solve all the problems step by step, make the right connections and thus make the machine work. One of my biggest motivations is watching a child's AHA moment and watching the joy rise when the machine finally runs."

"Contrary to the reputation of the theoretical physicist, I am an open-hearted person and successfully take the teacher-student relationship as a challenge.
I avoid overcomplicated explanations and come up with explanations using humorous analogies from everyday life, for example, to explain abstract issues.
I really enjoy looking for new perspectives with students of all possible school levels. I particularly enjoy coaching pupils with learning disabilities.

"Helping other people to progress in their endeavours is a great happiness that almost only succeeds when you have the time and space to respond to a person. I am happy to tackle projects and achieve goals together.
I studied German language and literature and philosophy in my Master's degree. In 2018, I dedicated myself to my love of the stage and ventured into self-employment, so since then I have been working full-time as a musical performer, puppeteer, librettist and set designer. Perspectiva Nova gives me the opportunity to pursue my other passion, teaching, alongside a very time-consuming and irregular job."

"When teaching, it is very important to me to create a positive learning atmosphere and to respond to the individual needs of my students. Since no two students learn in the same way, I also adapt my teaching methods to each student.
As the second eldest of six children, I took on the role of homework helper at a very early age. After my Matura at the Kantonsschule Enge, it was therefore clear to me that I would go to the PH to complete my training as a primary teacher, which I will finish this summer.
In my free time, I do a lot of sports, including skateboarding and climbing. It is very important to be persistent and to find your own way to solve a problem. I also like to read and to be creative, either with my analogue camera or with pen and brush. Through the creative aspect, I always find new ways to approach a topic."

"I came to teaching in a roundabout way, which gives me a welcome basis in everyday school life. For about 25 years now I have been teaching big and small - and I find teaching, instructing, guiding and accompanying one of the most wonderful activities of all. In what other profession can you find so many different aspects, contents and questions as in teaching? I also get my money's worth: a constant learning process!
I value, respect and support the individuality of each student. Do I have role models? Certainly former teachers from my own school days who encouraged me in their own personal way and took me seriously.
But there is also the legacy of a Maria Montessori (Help me to do it myself - show me how!), a Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (head, heart, hand) and a Vera F. Birkenbihl with her captivatingly logical and refreshing methods; all these foundations not only make everyday school life colourful and attractive, but also make it possible to design it in a way that is above all child- and learner-friendly.
What could be better than meeting a child in their enthusiasm, encouraging them to be independent and supporting them even when things aren't going so well!"

"Motivating students to become lifelong learners is my vision as a teacher.
My aim is to pick up the learners where they are at the moment and to achieve learning progress together with them.
As a competitive athlete, I know what it's like to have to perform at your best under pressure. The path to success is never easy and straightforward. With my open, patient and calm manner, I try to help students strengthen their self-confidence and realise their goals step by step.
Perspectiva Nova offers me the possibility in individual and small group lessons, in contrast to normal class lessons, to respond even more specifically to students and to accompany their individual learning process more intensively, in order to pave the way to the next aha experience.
