Creative learning and cultural events
Learning-Point was founded in 2016 and comes from the joint vision of Giorgia and Doris, both of whom are highly-motivated language teachers.
Doris was born in 1961 in Switzerland. She first learnt and qualified as a Typographer.
Inspired by her many years in the USA, where she learnt English in a multi-cultural environment, she decided on returning to Switzerland to teach German as a foreign language.
She studied at the «Höheren Fachschule für Angewandt Linguistik (SAL)» in Zürich, undertaking several semesters in Adult didactic education and Linguistics. Doris gained the SVEB 1 Certificate as part of these studies.
During her 8 years at a language school she taught German to Telc and Goethe certificate level, as well as the traditions and culture of Switzerland.
As further creative development, Doris undertook 18 months professional training in floral design and domestic science.
Her philosophy is to make lessons as interesting and creative as possible.
Giorgia was born in 1973 in Italy. On leaving High School, having focused on Classical Studies, she went to the University of "La Sapienza" in Rome to study Law, graduating with a Masters degree.
During a language trip to Australia she taught Italian. This experience as a language teacher motivated her, on returning to Rome, to continue teaching Italian as a foreign language. She took part in a course for L2 Teachers, undertaking an apprenticeship in Rome and obtaining the certification DITALS I (Teaching Italian as a Foreign Language) at the University for Foreigners of Siena.
Over some 15 years she worked for a wide range of educational institutes being involved with the planning and development of language training in different companies (Finmeccanica, Telecom Italia, Fendi, MTV and Camera dei Deputati).
These experiences led her to develop a didactic approach aimed at enhancing the potential of each individual student through the creative personalization of lessons.
In 2013 she came to Schaffhausen with her husband and two children and started working at a language school in the center of the city, from here, a new chapter began, meeting Doris and developing the idea of “Learning-Point”.
