My hourly rate reflects my professional skill set, formal credentials, extensive experience, and my status as a qualified educator, as well as the cost of living in Switzerland. That said, what matters most to me is ensuring that each student receives the support they need. I am open to discussing and adjusting my rates based on fair reasoning to make this possible.

I have been a dedicated IB English Language & Literature educator since 2014, and my expertise extends to serving as an IB External Examiner for IB English A Literature since July 2016. As of May 2023, I have advanced to the role of Team Leader, or Senior Examiner, overseeing the external assessment of Language and Literature components and guiding a team of ten junior examiners.

My passion for Education and Literature has been the cornerstone of my career for nearly a decade. My professional journey spans a diverse range of educational settings, including public and international private schools, as well as independent language institutions.

In addition to my extensive teaching experience, I hold an IB Diploma, a BA in English and Education, an MA in Education, and a Swiss-verified teaching certificate. These credentials underscore my commitment to excellence in education and my deep engagement with the field of literature.

Languages may seem difficult to master at first, but it is only a question of method in order to understand and use them properly.
I therefore propose to help people who have problems with school in this area, as well as in the performance of their homework.

Hello,
My name is Anne-Sophie and I am 18 years old,
I have just finished (August 2020) of passing my Federal Maturity and would like to give lessons (1 or more times a week) to help younger people than me. I would like with the money collected to partly finance my studies once I have received my federal diploma.
I have always been in contact with children; I've been working as a babysitter for several families for 5 years, giving sports lessons to children aged 5 to 12, but also helping a young student with her math and French lessons.
I can help in mathematics, French (mother tongue), English (2nd language), history, geography and biology. I would be happy to help you / your child.

Yours,
Anne Sophie
