PROFESSOR French / English

Graduated with CELFLE / CELTA diploma, I have teaching experiences with adults also with children.

Whatever the level and situation of the student, I adapt to the needs, wishes, objectives while delivering my own expertise and approach in order to identify possible gaps and focus on points to work as a priority.

Serious, caring, motivated, involved, pedagogue and punctual, I am very involved in the success of each of my students to allow them to progress and am available to answer their questions or those of their parents even outside the hours of course. I offer a personalized pedagogical accompaniment and aims at transmitting effective and proven working methods. I also seek to empower and empower students, to give them the confidence they need, and to be demanding so that they succeed.

I have been teaching for more than 20 years in Geneva(Organizations/Group courses/Preparation for Delf etc..) at all levels and for the past years I have specialized in Survival modules and exam preparation for Fide exam( required for permit B/ C and citizenship) Usually I come to student's home and we have 1 or 2 lessons of 1h30 peer week depending on their needs and focus..As I am teaching between Geneva and Nyon, I am more in favor of meeting the students at their home.
Let me know if I could be of any help and then we could organize a meeting depending on your availabilities

Kind regards / Best regards

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.

So don't wait! I am waiting for you massively.

Thank you to those who have the courage to contact me.

Looking to pick up a new language? Or maybe you've watched The Crown and want to speak like the Queen of England? Look no further! As a native speaker of English - and fluent speaker of Spanish and French - I can put myself in your shoes and help you chat, read and sound like a Brit, only using the best and most natural sounding language. What’s more, I have a wealth of experience teaching English in France and Argentina, can accommodate all levels of English and will tailor my lessons based on your specific needs and interests. The best part: as a Specialised Translation Masters student at UniGe, I’m always around Uni-Mail and Champel, meaning I can come to you, we can meet in the middle or we can hop on a Zoom call! The choice is yours. Now that you’ve found your teacher, the only question is...when would you like to get started?

Send me a message with any questions or queries and I’ll get back to you ASAP!

As a French-German and trilingual student (French and German as native languages – English CEC C1), I offer tutoring and homework help for students from primary to secondary I and II (approximately 10 to 20 years old).
I provide support in all subjects, although French and languages are my specialty.

Having already completed several years of tutoring, I have a great capacity for adaptation, and above all, we will build the pace of the tutoring together according to your needs. Furthermore, my experience as an older sister has taught me how to create a reassuring and motivating environment for learning and education.

Each session is fully personalized:
• Review and explanation of concepts not understood,
• adapted exercises,
• Preparation for tests, assessments and exams
• homework help,
• Methodological support (work organization, memorization, writing, autonomy).

I place particular importance on a caring approach to help each student progress, strengthen their skills and gain confidence!

My name is Nicolas, and I'm an English teacher with eight years of teaching experience. I've spoken English since I was a teenager and have continued to practice it through my many travels. My level was further improved during an extended stay in Canada. In 2018, I passed the TEFL Cambridge exam, the English as a Foreign Language Teaching Certificate.

Having also gone through the process of learning to speak this language, I am well aware of the different stages my students go through. This helps considerably.

My courses are custom-built to achieve personal goals and are adapted to the specific needs of each individual.

Practice is prioritized throughout the learning process to foster independence as quickly as possible. Basic grammar and vocabulary concepts are also covered, depending on the student's level.

This course is aimed at:
- 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.

With pleasure :)
