English lessons for French speakers or French lessons for English speakers

From 54 £ /h

Having grown up in the UK (from three months to five and a half years) and speaking English daily, I am able to teach both correct and authentic English to adults and children alike. As a graduate of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Geneva, which has particularly high standards for fluency, I am also qualified to teach French, including grammar, conjugation, and vocabulary, to students up to the secondary level (Gymnasium) and to adults learning French as a foreign language (FLE). Finally, I can also teach History (all periods), which is one of my Bachelor's degree specializations along with Philosophy and my Master's degree field of study (Transnational History), regardless of the student's age.

As an experienced teacher, having studied at the University of Nottingham, I am enthusiastic about helping anyone who wants to learn or improve their English by having fun reading and speaking.

The objective of this course is to offer a pleasant environment to anyone wishing to learn or improve their English, in order to allow them to gain confidence in themselves. We seek to create an atmosphere where the learner will enjoy coming back and seeing the progress made.

Thanks to my experience in teaching and support classes, I appreciate the contact with the students, especially when they smile as they regain their self-confidence and feel capable of progressing.

It is a privilege for me to experience these moments that allow learners to open up, express themselves and discover new perspectives.

I am a doctorate student with a master degree in English literature, including a specialization in new American studies from the university of Lausanne. I am experienced in helping with homework (all levels and subjects) and language class (French and English) from beginners to advanced. I offer personalized classes adapted to your needs in order to help you gain confidence, knowledge and to reach your different goals.

My studies allowed me to be in constant contact with non francophone people. I learned to adapt to each person's level and I am familiar with the difficulties that the French language presents for foreigners. In return, my own studies in English familiarized me with the difficulties of the English language.

I also offer help with the the redaction of any kind of written work (thesis, seminars, cv, letters) and to improve your oral skills (conversation to prepare oral exams, interviews, or upgrading).

This course allows a fun learning and adapted to the level of the child.
It also allows support, refresher training or simply help with homework. In addition, the lesson touches different aspects of learning and stimulates writing, reading, speaking and creativity so that the lesson is as pleasant as possible for the child.

French is one of the most influential languages in the world. Knowing how to speak, read and write it while understanding the significant accuracy of the words used is an asset that unfortunately very few master.
My lessons are based on my student's expectations, the areas in which he wants to work will be implemented.

Speaking English is an important skill for the modern working world. You can learn in a variety of ways whether by conversational practice, grammatical classes, or if you need, exam preparation. I can tailor the class to your language learning needs and we can discuss what you require from our classes. Do not hesitate to get in touch!

Do you want to improve your English, regain confidence, prepare for an exam or simply feel more comfortable speaking? I offer English lessons tailored to your level, your goals and your learning style.

I lived in the United Kingdom for 6 years, where I pursued my studies until obtaining a Master's degree in Glasgow in 2018. After several years of training and work in Glasgow and then London, I returned to Geneva in 2020. I continue to use English daily, both in my professional and personal life.

My priority is adapting to the individual I'm working with. I'm patient, a good listener, and a skilled teacher, and I strive to make learning concrete, accessible, and motivating. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method, I take the time to understand each student's needs and challenges in order to create a personalized learning plan.

I also know from experience that academic difficulties are not inevitable. During my own schooling in middle school and high school in Geneva, I encountered difficulties and worked with several tutors. This experience allowed me to "learn how to learn," to gain confidence, and to progress until I obtained my high school diploma with honors.

It is this experience that I like to pass on today: giving tools, restoring confidence and finding with each student the way that will allow them to progress.

Whether you are a beginner, wish to consolidate your basics, improve your oral and written expression or prepare for an academic or professional goal, we will define together a method adapted to your needs.

Do you understand English but hesitate when it’s time to speak? Do you find yourself translating every sentence in your head or worrying about making mistakes?

My personalised English lessons help you build the skills and confidence to communicate more naturally—in everyday life, at work, and in social situations.

We work on what matters to you:

Speaking confidently and keeping conversations flowing
Understanding spoken English and expanding your vocabulary
Improving pronunciation, grammar, and sentence structure
Communicating at work, in interviews, or during presentations
Feeling more comfortable using English when travelling or living abroad

Each lesson is adapted to your level, interests, and goals. Through meaningful conversations, practical activities, and clear feedback, you’ll practise using English in situations you actually encounter.

As an English teacher and coach who has lived in London, Paris, Geneva, and Zurich, I understand how vulnerable communicating in another language can feel. My approach is warm, encouraging, and practical, with space to ask questions, make mistakes, and progress at your own pace.

You don’t need perfect English to have something worth saying. Let’s help you say it with confidence.

Book a lesson and tell me what you’d like English to make possible for you.

As a law student at Oxford University, I understand the importance of clear explanations, critical thinking, and self-confidence in learning. I offer private tutoring in English, mathematics, and humanities in a supportive, dynamic environment tailored to each student's needs, abilities, and goals.

My teaching method
I am convinced that effective learning relies first and foremost on a genuine understanding of concepts, rather than simply memorizing them. My lessons are interactive, encouraging, and adapted to each student's pace, with the aim of making difficult subjects more accessible and engaging.

I break down complex concepts into simple steps, use concrete examples, and encourage students to ask questions and develop their own reasoning.

My goal is not only to improve their academic results, but also to help them gain confidence, independence and a love of learning.

What sets me apart
I am currently a law student at New College, University of Oxford, where my studies require strong analytical, writing, and reasoning skills.

I also have an excellent level in mathematics, having achieved the maximum grade of A* in the GCSE Advanced Mathematics, an exam which I took a year early.

I combine academic rigor with a warm and accessible teaching approach. Aware that each student learns differently, I strive to create a reassuring environment where everyone feels free to ask questions, make mistakes, and progress at their own pace.
