About Me

IN FRENCH:
I have always had a passion for languages and have noticed that very often what prevents people from effectively speaking a language is the difficulty of understanding certain grammar rules, certain words, certain expressions. (Why is it like that ?! How do you say that ?!) I also noticed that these questions are sometimes sources of frustration for some people, and I would really like to help these people overcome these questions and quench their curiosity.

As for literature, I have also always loved work analysis and would like to share with my future students the appropriate techniques for analyzing texts and other works. Again, I understand the source of frustration, and it is extremely annoying to find yourself in front of a text in French (or English) class and not know where to start when the teacher asks to analyze X passage.

I also offer support in exam preparation and can provide tools for time management and revision.

IMPORTANT: I have experience with children with ASD and can also provide stress management tools.
IN ENGLISH:
I've always had a passion for languages, and I've always had a lot of questions about grammatical rules, some words, some expressions even say this ??) I have also noticed that these questions are often the source of frustrations for some people, and I would sincerely love to help those people to overcome those queries and quench their thirst for knowledge and curiosity.

Regarding litterature, I've always liked to analyze different works and would like to share with my future students different techniques to analyze a text (or any other media). Again, I understand the frustration you may feel; It's extremely stressful and disheartening to sit before you.

I also offer support in exam preparation and can provide tools for time management and revision.

IMPORTANT: I have experience working with children with ASD and can also teach stress management techniques.

The goal is to give the maximum of tools to the student to understand how to analyze a work.
I fully understand the frustration that this may cause a student to not understand the subject to be analyzed and how to ask his ideas, and I would like to be able to help at best.

English courses and language practice (all levels)

30.66 £ /h

Whether you are a beginner or want to improve your English, I offer tailor-made courses as well as the opportunity to practice one of the two languages, while benefiting from personalized corrections to improve your mastery.

We can work together on grammar, as well as conversation or exam preparation, depending on your goals. My approach is focused on communication and practice, in order to allow you to feel comfortable, whether in a professional or personal setting.

I hold British and French nationalities and speak both languages (and Spanish). I am specialised in teaching French as a foreign language (literature and grammar). I am a very adaptable and enthusiastic person. I have a TEFLA certificate (for teaching English) and a CEFLE certificate (for teaching French). I have worked in different organisations, such as the Alliance Française (Cusco, Peru), ARA ( Geneva) and given private lessons to adults, adolescents and children. I am familiar with the Swiss and French education systems. I am very curious and like to discover new cultures and to share mine. I like to go to concerts and the opera. I have good language and teaching skills and can provide recommendations on request. Thanks Anastassja

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!

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 give French and English classes for children, teenagers and adults. I always try to find a fun and interesting way to teach. Languages are fun to learn!
My classes are usually divided into three sections. The first part: grammar. Second part: exercises. Third part: conversation.

The technology to improve your French. Classes with a certified native teacher.

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.

*My method:*
-During class we focus on speaking. Outside of class, I will send you exercises that I will correct every week (grammar, conjugation, writing...).
-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.

If you want a young, organized, dynamic and passionate teacher, call me or write me!

See you soon,
Laurie*

- Intermediate/advanced learners (improvement, exam preparation: DELF, DALF, TCF);
- Professionals (business French, interview preparation).

As I am currently in Brazil, I am teaching my classes online. I will be back in Geneva in mid-December for face-to-face classes.

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

I can give lessons with webcam too.

I come to the aid of French-speaking students (primary and secondary) by providing effective support with homework, past exam papers, and preparation for evaluations and official examinations.
I use a variety of exercises and teaching methods to help learners find their own autonomous approach, enabling them to overcome weaknesses and make remarkable progress in French.

For non-French speakers, lessons are individually tailored following a placement test. The focus is placed on pronunciation, vocabulary acquisition, conjugation, as well as oral and written expression, in order to confidently handle everyday topics or subjects related to a specific professional field.
