About Me

I have been a student for many years, and know the struggle of meeting a good teacher. One that understands how the student thinks and will put in the maximum effort to create rapport with the student.

Dear all,

I am located near Geneva, Switzerland and I offer Chinese and Math lessons. Since 2016, I have been providing tutoring services to school students and adults on a weekly basis. I have over 4 years of experience teaching math to international students, ranging from primary school to high school, using English as the medium of instruction. In addition, I have also been tutoring Chinese to both adults and children at TheLanguageCenter in Ferney Voltaire.

I tailor my lessons according to the individual needs and interests of each student. If necessary, I can provide exercises for practice at home as well as supplementary notes for the lesson.

Thank you for your attention. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

I have been giving chinese lessons for more than 10 years. Before that, I was a radio broadcaster and a journalist in China, hence I have a perfect pronunciation of the official mandarin, without any accent. It provides my students the best conditions to learn chinese, as the tone you give to words when you speak chinese as a foreigner is of great importance if you want to be understood by natives.

I have a strong working experience helping students preparing their HSK exam, I also often teach diplomats, to help them acquire the necessary skills and understand properly the vocabulary specific to their job.

I also love to work with kids, as I was a mandarin teacher for 2 years in an international school in Singapore. I give them a playful learning environment and use fun learning methods, so even the youngest can stay focused!

The cello has a unique sound that changes depending on the style you are interpreting.

For example, baroque and contemporary music differ greatly in their interpretation and playing style. What musical styles do you enjoy playing most on the cello? I'd be happy to help you play your favorite pieces from pop, world, or classical music, and make your lessons interesting and motivating. Thanks to the instrument, you can convey the full depths of human emotion, which will make music even more beloved and stay in your heart for a lifetime.

I believe in a personal approach, thus I would sit down with you and figure out what your goals are, your strengths, and your resources, either in person or via online tutoring. I've been doing this style of tutoring for about 10 years, with good success.

I have a master's degree in German Studies, and I am C2 proficient in English. Besides extensive work as a translator, I have experience tutoring university students from abroad, as well as refugees, and even my Czech girlfriend. Not just in English and German, but also specifically working to understand the Swiss dialects. Thus, I have a broad knowledge base that deals in all possible lingual backgrounds. I think in any language, learning is easiest when respecting the unique backgrounds of people and their language, and focusing rather on the commonalities than the differences. Being knowledgeable about linguistics certainly helps in achieving this.

Do you want to speak English confidently without wasting time? My lessons are relaxed, efficient, and tailored precisely to your needs. We focus on real-world speaking, improved pronunciation, and simple grammar explanations so it finally makes sense, as well as vocabulary you can use immediately. If desired, we can also work on writing (emails, CVs, job interviews) or schoolwork such as homework, essays, and exams. Each lesson begins with a brief level assessment and discussion of your goals, followed by targeted practice. I provide immediate feedback, and you leave with a clear plan for the next steps. Homework is optional and always short and relevant.
