Hi, I'm Nora. With 24 years of teaching and exam prep experience, I specialise in preparing expats for the German language requirements of Swiss naturalisation. From your first words to passing the tests that matter, I know exactly what's expected at each level and how points are awarded.
I'm a university graduate in language education, fluent in German, English, and Hungarian. Over 24 years, I've helped hundreds of students, but my speciality is expats building a life in Switzerland.
With examiner training under my belt, I know exactly what assessors look for and how points are awarded at each level. More importantly, I understand the Swiss naturalisation process deeply: which level you need for permits, what's required for citizenship, and how different cantons vary. I've guided countless students through every stage.
My teaching is practical and personalised. No textbooks, just lessons built around your real life in Switzerland, from navigating bureaucracy to chatting with your neighbours.
Whether you're relocating, preparing for exams, or simply want to communicate better
I know the process inside out—which German level you need at each stage, what the interviews are like, and how to prepare for cantonal requirements.
Build real fluency through discussions on topics you care about—from everyday life to politics to your profession.
With 24 years of exam prep experience, I know exactly what assessors look for and how points are awarded. Targeted prep for Goethe, TELC, FIDE, KDE, and SDS.
Improve your English for work, study, or daily life with the same personalised, practical approach.
Learn Hungarian with a native speaker—perfect for heritage learners or those relocating to Hungary.
Professional translation between German, English, and Hungarian for documents, correspondence, and more.
Real results from students around the world
I only have good words for Nora. She is a fantastic teacher! Her classes are always engaging, informative, and fun. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to successfully prepare for and pass my official German exams. Not only is she a skilled educator, but she's also a wonderful person who truly cares about her students' success. I highly recommend Nora to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable German teacher.
Nous avons eu Nora comme professeur particulier pour des cours d'allemand pendant 2 ans lors de notre expatriation en Allemagne. Elle fut le professeur de presque toute la famille (ma femme, mon fils et moi). Elle est très pédagogue et très pointue notamment en ce qui concerne la grammaire. Les thèmes du cours sont variés et elle s'adapte aux besoins du client : conversation orale sur des sujets de la vie quotidienne ou bien cours plus académiques avec exercices écrits. Nora est très efficace pour la préparation aux examens : elle sait parfaitement comment se déroulent les épreuves de Goethe Institut et prépare à ces types d'exercices - j'ai ainsi obtenu mon B2 avec le score moyen de 88% (et 100% en expression écrite !). Nous la recommandons à toute personne souhaitant progresser en allemand dans la vie quotidienne, à l'oral ou à l'écrit, et plus particulièrement aux personnes souhaitant passer une certification d'allemand.
Nora ist eine ausgezeichnete Deutschlehrerin! Ihr Wissen über die deutsche Sprache beeindruckt mich immer wieder – sie ist sogar besser als mein deutscher Ehemann. Ich freue mich jedes Mal auf ihre Stunden, weil sie den Unterricht so spannend und lebendig gestaltet
I have been working with Nora for many years. She took me from a relatively beginner level to a more advanced level and also helped me to prepare for the B1 Goethe exam. She's always well prepared but also very flexible. I would highly recommend her.
Már 4 éve tanulok Nórával németet. Kezdettől fogva érzem, hogy nagyon rá tudott hangolódni a stílusom rá, gyorsan megtaláltuk a közös hangot. Szeretem benne, hogy nagyon türelmes, látja a gyengeségeim, erősségeim és próbál "rám" szabottal feladatokat keresni nekem. Mióta vele tanulok, megnőtt az önbizalmam, bátran merek kommunikálni bárkivel. Neki köszönhetem a középfokú nyelvvizsgám, és remélem, hogy a közeljövőben a felsőbb szintet is elérhetjük együtt ❤️
我从 2019 年开始跟 Nora 学习德语，至今已有 5 年了。Nora老师亲切和蔼，教学认真负责，每次课后都会精心布置作业并及时批改，这对我巩固德语知识的帮助很大。她还会根据我不同时期的学习需求给我准备不同的课程内容，非常实用。我强烈推荐这位好老师！
Seit 2019 lerne ich Deutsch bei Nora. Das heißt, ich habe schon seit fünf Jahren Unterricht bei ihr. Nora ist eine sehr sympathische Lehrerin, die ihren Unterricht sehr ernst nimmt. Sie erstellt und korrigiert immer sehr gewissenhaft meine Hausaufgaben, was mir sehr dabei hilft, mein Deutschwissen zu festigen. Außerdem passt sie den Unterrichtsstoff immer an meine jeweiligen Lernbedürfnisse an, was sehr praktisch ist. Ich kann diese großartige Lehrerin nur wärmstens empfehlen!
I have been learning German with Nora since 2019, which means I've been taking lessons from her for five years now. Nora is a very friendly teacher who takes her teaching very seriously. She always prepares and corrects my homework very conscientiously, which greatly helps me consolidate my German knowledge. Moreover, she always adapts the teaching material to my specific learning needs, which is very practical. I highly recommend this great teacher!
I came to Nora with a pretty unrealistic request: "Can you get me from A1 to A2 in two weeks?" I needed A2 for my residence permit in Switzerland. She didn't hesitate. She started lessons the next day and built a plan completely tailored to what I needed. Her teaching style is focused, encouraging, and incredibly effective. Every session had real impact and the progress felt fast. A few days before the test, I already felt confident. And I passed. If you need someone who can actually deliver results quickly and adapt to your goals, Nora is amazing.
