Conversation
Do you often feel like you understand the language but do not feel comfortable speaking it? Or have you never had an English lesson in your life and do not know if it is possible to speak without knowing all the grammar? If you can answer any of these with "yes" then a conversation course would be perfect for you!

Group conversation
We meet on a weekly basis for an open discussion of a relevant topic in a foreign language (German or Englisch, please only register for the one you are interested in). The course lasts 60 minutes and the minimum amount of participants is 4 (max 5 at the moment). As this is an open course, the registration is only valid for one evening. Registrations take place on a weekly basis. We also offer roundtables for closed groups, please contact us separately. You should know the language well enough in order to participate in the roundtable.
Literacy Skills for English-speaking Children and Teenagers attending Swiss schools
Many children in Switzerland grow up learning to speak English from their parents. However, developing an enjoyment of reading in English, and age-appropriate skills in writing, can be challenging since most state Swiss schools are only able to offer basic English language lessons.
At Language Kitchen we are able to offer fun, additional tuition to support a student in developing academic English skills. We run sessions for children in the following age groups;
- 3-7
- 8-11
- 12-14
- 15+ Sessions are available Saturday mornings and early evenings, after school. Students can be tutored 1:1 or in small groups.

Creative Writing and Performance Poetry in English
Do you want to write a novel but you’re not sure how to start or do you have lots of great ideas but lack the motivation or confidence to complete a story?
Would you like to learn new creative techniques while meeting like-minded people?
At Language Kitchen we are excited to offer a weekly course (normally Thursdays at 7.30 pm) and additional events for adults and teenagers wanting to develop their skills in creative writing and poetry in English.
Specialist Tuition for specific learning needs, such as such as dyslexia, dyscalculia and ADHD
Many children thrive best with extra support in literacy, numeracy or communication skills. This can be due to specific learning needs, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia and ADHD, which require more creative, specialist methods of teaching.
We offer specialist screening and tuition to children and young people of all ages, 1:1 and in pairs. After a period of quantitative and qualitative assessment, each student is given a personalised programme with targets tailored to their strengths, interests and goals. Our programmes usually include multisensory, kinaesthetic and digital resources, with extra exercises for students to practice at home.
