    Meet the teacher

    Rahel Roth


    I am a graduated language teacher for High Schools and since 2018 I have been working as a freelance German teacher online.

    I noticed that many of my students would like to learn Swiss German but struggle because of the scarce learning material and courses. Moreover lessons are often tailored to students with at least an intermediate knowledge of German.

    My goal is to help expats learn Swiss German from scratch without any previous knowledge of German.
