Hey there.

You’re in the right place if…

About Me

Hey - I’m Nick and I’m a half-Swiss, half-Greek language teacher and speaking trainer.

I’ve been teaching, in some capacity, for 10+ years (15+ years if you count back when it was just a side-gig to a busy uni student).

I started offering private lessons to kids only a few years younger than I, back when I was studying English Language & Literature. Well, if you wanna be more accurate - it was more like “their parents hounded me and I said yes”. But I ended up liking it!

Turns out, I truly love teaching people. And, if my happy clients are any indication, I’m good at it, too.

Later on I went to study at the East15 drama school, UK - and got myself a Master of Arts in Acting. Yeah, I don’t know what I was thinking, either - I’m way too introverted and practical to be an actor. So after a couple of years in “the business”, I went back to what I loved the most: teaching.

Only this time, I found my clients benefitted from all the skills I’d picked up during my professional actor’s training - so I started getting requests for interview prep, picking apart people’s business presentations, and teaching them communication skills like breath control and how to mask stage fright.

And this brings us here. I can help you (or your team) with bespoke, highly effective language training (typically companies need their employees to reach a B2-Level German or English) that includes cultural components such as German or Swiss business etiquette and lingo.

OR, I can help you (or your team) polish your stakeholder presentations or interview skills - I have a keen eye for fluff, inconsistencies in nonverbal communication, and storytelling.

Have a look around and get in touch if you have any questions.

PS: I don’t work with most types of “coaches”, unless I personally know you. Please only get in touch if you’re an employee or a freelancer outside the coaching industry.
