Practice leads to perfection

Unless you learned to speak French when you were a child, it is difficult when you don't speak it fluently to pass for a French speaker. However, this does not prevent you from learning to speak it correctly, because it is well known that a language spoken with a foreign accent is an asset of seduction! Although it may seem complicated, learning a new language is always fun and beneficial, so it is important to practice as much as possible and above all not to give up. Take every opportunity you are given to speak the language and listen to French as soon as possible. And remember: practice leads to perfection!

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.

Hello Bonjour!
I am a native French teacher and a graduate in French Philology since 2012. I have 10 years of experience in Belgium and abroad. I offer online classes using a method that I have developed over the years, specifically for online classes.

-I use a particular technique based on questions/answers to apply the grammar when speaking.
-I use the verbotonal method to correct pronunciation.
-You will also receive access to an application for your Smartphone (to learn the vocabulary).
-Use an interactive whiteboard.
-We will use a shared online notebook to correct your exercises and ask me your questions at any time of the day.

I offer preparation for official exams (DELF, DALF, TCF, EOI, FIDE in Switzerland...). Classes for beginners, intermediate or advanced levels. Preparation of conferences or talks for business people. Job interviews.

The class is a bit different when I work with children or teenagers. I use interactive websites and letters.

¡Muy buenos días, me llamo Francesca! Bonjour, je m'appelle Francesca. Je cours pour la preparation pour les examens espagnols au lycée et au Université, pour particuliers et entreprises (with invoice).

For the past few years I have been living and working in Spain, in Barcelona.
I am Italian. I have studied Spanish from level A1 to level C2, certified by the most prestigious organization in the study and teaching of the Spanish language, the Instituto Cervantes.

I have obtained the following university degrees:
- Master's degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures with honors (final grade 110 cum laude), University of Ferrara (2011)
- Bachelor's degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures (final grade 108/110), University of Bologna (2008)

As a lifelong learner, I am improving my skills and have a Master's degree in Human Resources Management, UOC - Open University of Catalonia.

I have obtained the following official language certificates:

- Certified DELE examiner (all levels: A1-C2) issued by the Instituto Cervantes
- Certificate in Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE) teacher training, issued by International House and recognized by the University of Barcelona
- DELE level C2 issued by the Instituto Cervantes
- DELF level A1-A6 (B2) issued by the Alliance Française

I have worked as a Spanish teacher and examiner in Enforex and Don Quijote in Barcelona; in major international companies such as Michael Page, Fedex, Comercial Química Massó, Velfont-Velamen, the Ferrara Chamber of Commerce and in the Ferrara high school, international schools in Italy and Spain.

I am a philologist specializing in Spanish and I speak several languages that can help my students clarify their doubts.

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 emphasize a practical and communicative approach, with exercises and activities based on real-life situations.

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.

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.
