OLS Management – Florian Blaser

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.
