I teach students, as well as adults who want to improve their English for professional reasons.
My experience over the past 10 years has allowed me to develop a simple and effective method that adapts to the needs of the student, taking into account their interests. This way, the student becomes seriously involved and progresses quickly.
My native ear allows me to have a real impact on the pronunciation and accent of the student, without ever neglecting the importance of learning to write. In addition, my experience as a translator allows me to teach the different nuances of the language in the most efficient way possible.

✅ Hindi belongs to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European family of languages. Along with English, Hindi is one of the official languages of India.
✅ Hindi is one of the world's most important languages. If you want to visit India, become a successful businessperson in India, or travel across the country, knowing Hindi is essential.
✅ I specialize in providing Hindi lessons to students and individuals learning the language.
✅ My primary goal is to teach Hindi, as I can guide learners from basic to advanced levels and solve any problems effectively.
✅ Students and learners can grasp Hindi well because I am a native speaker.
✅ You will begin by learning Hindi vowels and consonants, progressing to reading, writing, listening, and speaking Hindi.
✅ Finally, I encourage you to book a lesson with me and start learning Hindi today. I am available 24/7 to assist you.
Namaste to all!

Need to improve your English? As a teacher with 8 years of experience, I offer fully personalized support.

I have been using English since my teenage years through my many travels, a level I perfected during an extended stay in Canada. In 2018, I consolidated my teaching skills by obtaining the TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate.

Having gone through the entire process of learning this language myself, I fully understand the challenges and stages you're facing. This firsthand experience greatly helps me to better support you.

Here, there is no fixed program: my courses are custom-built to align with your objectives and precisely meet your needs.

The focus is on practical application and real-life scenarios to help you gain confidence and independence as quickly as possible. Grammar and vocabulary are naturally integrated as you progress.

This course is aimed at the following profiles:
- Beginners (basics, conversation, travel);
- Intermediate/advanced (improvement, exam preparation: TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC);
- Professionals (business English, interview preparation).

Feel free to contact me for more information.

Looking forward to assisting you :)

I have been an English teacher for three years, with experience teaching children and adults, both privately and in language schools. I have completed specialized training in teaching beginners, which allows me to tailor my lessons to each student.

I am patient and attentive, and I create a pleasant and motivating learning environment. My goal is for each student to progress with confidence, speaking and understanding English clearly and practically.

My courses are designed for beginners and intermediate levels (A1-B1), for both children and adults. I emphasize a practical and communicative approach, with exercises and activities based on real-life situations. Each session is structured yet flexible, adapted to your pace and goals, so you can use English in everyday life right from the start.

I also emphasize living English, with different accents, common expressions and a bit of slang, so that you understand and speak real and natural English, and discover British and American culture.

Hello,
I offer business English lessons for those who are interested. First, I consider my clients' needs. I follow a formal curriculum: the lessons are based on listening comprehension, reading, and conversation. The lessons are enhanced with visuals, videos, presentations, texts, reports, and more.

Whether you are learning English for school, work, travel, or everyday communication, I offer personalized lessons tailored to your goals. I have experience teaching English in summer language camps and working with people from over 20 countries through international organizations. I am also a poet and published writer.

Lessons can include:
Speaking and conversation practice
Grammar and vocabulary
Reading and writing
Business and professional English
Academic writing
Interview preparation
Presentation skills
Confidence-building in English communication

I adapt every lesson to your learning style and pace, creating an encouraging and interactive environment.

Hi! I’m a native English speaker and CELTA-qualified teacher, and I love helping people feel more comfortable and confident speaking English.

Before moving back to Geneva, I worked with NGOs in Greece supporting refugees and asylum seekers. As part of my work, I taught English to people from many different backgrounds and levels, as well as managing community programmes and volunteers. I really enjoyed the teaching side of my work — especially getting to know people individually and seeing their confidence grow.

That's why I prefer one-to-one lessons. I want our lessons to feel less like a traditional classroom and more like a relaxed conversation where you can practise, ask questions and learn at your own pace.

We can focus on whatever is most useful for you. Maybe you understand English quite well but find it difficult to speak. Maybe you need English for work, want to prepare for an interview, or simply want to feel more confident having conversations with English speakers. Or perhaps you just want someone to practise with regularly.

I'm friendly, patient and happy to adapt the lessons to you. Making mistakes is completely fine — that's how you learn! If you have a particular goal in mind, feel free to get in touch and tell me a little about what you'd like to improve.

I support primary and secondary school students in all main subjects: French, mathematics, history-geography, science and English.

My method is structured in three stages: precise identification of gaps in knowledge, creation of personalized summary sheets, and then validation through targeted exercises and mock exams. The goal is for the student to leave with a study method they can use independently, not just answers for the next assignment.

I adapt to each student's pace and personality. Some need to review the basics, others need to gain confidence. I always start from where the student is.

In-person classes in Geneva or via video conference.

During our studies, it sometimes happens that we experience academic difficulties.

Based on the teacher's work, I offer tailored support. This would help the student overcome obstacles and address their weaknesses.

The ideal parent is one who can identify academic problems and communicate them to the private tutor.
Whereas the ideal student is the one who dares to say when he has not understood, without fear of judgment.

Trusting the teacher is key: they offer an opportunity not only to acquire basic academic and cultural knowledge, but also to learn how to live in a community. In this way, the student can become a good citizen and develop their autonomy and self-directed learning skills.

Each week, we will schedule a one-hour meeting. The goal will be to define a learning objective and a problem, using a specific method.

Regarding the time and duration of the work, it all depends on the student's request. I would be happy to discuss this point further by phone or video conference.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Why does learning a foreign language seem so difficult?

Often, it's not a question of talent, but of method. With concrete support tailored to your goals, speaking with ease and confidence becomes possible, and faster than you think.

My name is Rubén and I have two years of experience in private tutoring, during which I helped each student achieve specific goals. I have taught English to a child and helped a German student pass his Spanish exams, in addition to numerous other tutoring activities in Spain.

I have studied and worked in all the languages I speak and teach: Spanish, my native language, English at C1 level, German at B2 level and French at B2 level. I therefore know from the inside the difficulties one encounters when learning a language, and the tips for overcoming them.

I was able to put my method to the test both in exams and in the professional world, combining daily oral practice with preparation for official certifications.
