OLS Management – Florian Blaser

Photo Team Member 1

Flo­ri­an Bla­ser is the foun­der and Head of Edu­ca­ti­on at Open Learning Space. After stu­dy­ing bio­lo­gy at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Zurich and com­ple­ting his trai­ning as a Gym­na­si­um tea­cher, he taught at various Gym­na­si­ums, at lower secon­da­ry level (Sekun­dar­stu­fe I) and at the voca­tio­nal bac­calau­rea­te school. Fol­lo­wing his pas­si­on for direct cont­act with stu­dents, he foun­ded Open Learning Space in 2016 in Zurich’s See­feld dis­trict, whe­re he grew up and lived until start­ing his own fami­ly. When­ever pos­si­ble, he tea­ches at Open Learning Space hims­elf, in par­ti­cu­lar Gymi pre­pa­ra­ti­on cour­ses as well as one-to-one tuto­ring in Ger­man, mathe­ma­tics and the natu­ral sci­en­ces. His goal: to fos­ter a love of learning in every moti­va­ted stu­dent through age-appro­pria­te support—so that ever­yo­ne can rea­li­se their per­so­nal poten­ti­al and have the best pos­si­ble oppor­tu­ni­ties in life.
