Spanish Reinforcement. For those interested in their language, speaking, and writing.

From 30 £ /h

In this Spanish course, I'll help you improve your speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills.
Through conversations, podcasts, movies, and the occasional book, which I hope to recommend. Plus, of course, exercises we'll do together to help you fully understand them. Although I'll be there primarily to support you if you have questions or would like to review something specific.

The idea is to help you improve your Spanish, whether you've been learning it in class, have been studying it for a long time, or are just learning it for the first time.
If you are interested, write to me to find out your plan.
PS: My schedule is quite flexible.

Extra information

If you have any text, audio, or exercise you'd like to work on, bring it! As well as something to write on.

About Me

I'd never been a teacher before, at least not a paid one. When I was little and my sister invited her friends over, I often played at teaching them whatever. I also did this with my mother and grandmother.
Later on, life made me move to another country several times, forcing me to learn new languages each time: at the age of 5 I was learning French at the Santo Domingo high school, at 8 I began to fall in love with Spanish literature and so much so that I have been fond of Cervantes, Lorca, Gloria Fuertes, Llosa, Márquez, Borges and many others to this day, participating in poetry and literature competitions.
Years later, I was able to find (almost) my own style (I think) and develop an interest in other, more international writers. I also studied Chinese when I lived in Ecuador at the age of 12, which was very difficult for me.
In the midst of all this, I also learned English, partly for courses, partly for myself, and partly for a study trip to Cambridge.
And finally, French again here in Geneva, where the learning process felt more bearable.

In short, I've experienced several types of language teaching. And I must admit that the most effective is immersive, where you're forced to learn the language to succeed. So don't take it personally if I only speak to you in Spanish in my course—it's all for the learning!
Even so, I must say that I'm a support group, as learning a language isn't usually easy. To develop a deeper understanding of the language, we can watch and listen to movies, review conjugations, do translations, and even take a literature workshop if you'd like.

Having been a teacher for over ten years in Geneva, I am passionate about my work and, more generally, about the French language.

I can help you with both language and literature; together we will find ways for you to progress. My goal is to give meaning to knowledge and to show that you can study French while having fun! I also hold a Master's degree in modern French, general history, and French teaching.

I offer weekly monitoring through an online platform, so you can measure your progress and practice outside of lessons. I like to offer several means of learning, from the most basic (doing exercises, copying sentences) to the most modern (playing small games, watching videos ...). It all depends on the student and their expectations.

It is quite possible for me to help with the writing / correction of work, to finish; I will not do them for you of course, but can provide you with the support and follow-up you need to make them happen. See you soon !

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.

Student in MBA (Master of Business Administration), and having completed my secondary studies at the Collège du Léman, a renowned international school, I obtained my bilingual federal diploma with honors as well as the American High School diploma. My specific option (OS) in Economics and Law defined my choice of university studies and today I am more than happy to share my knowledge with students of all levels.
Having several years of experience in teaching private lessons especially in French (dissertations, text studies and literary analyzes) my method is based on the pedagogy and the adaptation of the content and the form of the course according to the needs of the pupil.
I work with the student in order to optimize his academic performance and consolidate his confidence as well as his abilities with a view to obtaining a demanding higher diploma.
Please take into consideration that the first lesson consists of a ten-minute session during which a first contact is made with the student in order to identify his shortcomings and set performance objectives.

Hi! Since obtaining my CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) diploma in summer 2020, I have been teaching English to learners of all ages, from beginner to advanced level (A1-C1). Lessons are tailored to the student's needs, whether it's improving conversational English, preparing for an exam, working on Business English and more.

In addition to my work as a teacher, I am a student of English language and literature at the University of Geneva. English is truly my passion, which is why I strive to transmit the love of this language to all my students.

A lesson typically lasts 60 minutes and can take place at the student's home, my home, or another convenient location (a cafe or at university, for example).

Do not hesitate to contact me for more information! I will be happy to answer you :)

“We are only transmitters of knowledge”

I wish to bring to my students some of the enrichments that led me to the smooth and silky paths of literature and writing. From B. Fondane, through Homer, Giono, M. Solaar, Kafka, Kerouac, and Garcia Lorca.

I therefore offer writing workshops, which will allow you to deepen your knowledge of French by discovering authors that you might never have discovered.

It is therefore anything but a school course; the aim is to teach through a participatory and dynamic approach.

- study of texts
- theatrical reading
- composition of poems / songs
- writing short stories
- literary history
- art history

Open to 🇬🇧 🇪🇸 🇩🇪 with some knowledge of French

I offer Latin lessons tailored to the level and objectives of each student, with work focused on grammar, syntax and especially translation methods.

The goal is to help students understand the mechanics of the language, analyze sentences methodically, and gradually gain independence and confidence. We can work on difficulties encountered in class as well as preparing for homework, tests, and exams. Depending on individual needs, lessons can cover declensions, conjugations, syntax, grammatical analysis, translation, and reviewing texts studied in class.

I study literature and philosophy at university and have extensive experience in private tutoring. I adapt my teaching method to each student's pace and difficulties. Lessons can be one-off, to prepare for a specific exam, or regular to ensure long-term progress and support.
