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.

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.

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.

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 :)

Initially, I listen to the student to understand their current level with the language, their relationship to it. To identify their difficulties, strengths and weaknesses. And how they envision and view language as a tool.
Then I evaluate it on several aspects: oral, written, and oral comprehension.
Then I determine a program based on the difficulties and shortcomings identified.
I explain to him what I have noticed and what I propose we work on, and if he or she agrees.

Do you want to improve your English or get help with your homework? I offer personalized support tailored to the needs and pace of each student.

I create a supportive and motivating learning environment to help students progress with confidence. Whether it's reviewing the basics, reinforcing specific concepts, or preparing for a test, I adapt to each student's goals.

During the sessions, we can work on:

Grammar and conjugation
The vocabulary
Reading and listening comprehension
Written and oral expression
Homework help
Preparing for tests and exams

My goal is to help each student develop their English skills while gaining confidence in their abilities.

Courses designed for primary and middle school students ✨

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 am patient and attentive, and I create a pleasant and motivating learning environment. My goal is for each student to progress with confidence, speaking and understanding English clearly and practically.

My courses are designed for beginners and intermediate levels (A1-B1), for both children and adults. I emphasize a practical and communicative approach, with exercises and activities based on real-life situations. Each session is structured yet flexible, adapted to your pace and goals, so you can use English in everyday life right from the start.

I also emphasize living English, with different accents, common expressions and a bit of slang, so that you understand and speak real and natural English, and discover British and American culture.

Hello,
I offer business English lessons for those who are interested. First, I consider my clients' needs. I follow a formal curriculum: the lessons are based on listening comprehension, reading, and conversation. The lessons are enhanced with visuals, videos, presentations, texts, reports, and more.

Whether you are learning English for school, work, travel, or everyday communication, I offer personalized lessons tailored to your goals. I have experience teaching English in summer language camps and working with people from over 20 countries through international organizations. I am also a poet and published writer.

Lessons can include:
Speaking and conversation practice
Grammar and vocabulary
Reading and writing
Business and professional English
Academic writing
Interview preparation
Presentation skills
Confidence-building in English communication

I adapt every lesson to your learning style and pace, creating an encouraging and interactive environment.

Hello! I’m Trina, a native English teacher from England, now living in France.

I help adults and teenagers (14+) build confidence in English for real-life situations. Whether you’re preparing for a job interview, improving your Business English, travelling, or simply wanting to speak more naturally, I’ll create lessons that match your goals.

I’m currently completing my CELTA qualification and I design structured lessons based on the CEFR (A1–C2) framework, helping students develop speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary together.

Before becoming an English teacher, I worked in international business development and recruitment, so I understand the English needed for meetings, presentations, interviews and professional communication. I also previously worked as a veterinary nurse, giving me experience communicating with people from many different backgrounds.

My lessons are friendly, supportive and practical. I believe students learn best when they feel relaxed, make mistakes confidently, and practise English through meaningful conversations.

Outside teaching, I enjoy hiking in the French Alps, travelling, photography and spending time with animals.

I look forward to helping you achieve your English goals!

Unlock your potential in English with me! Together, we'll build your confidence and tailor lessons to your goals. Let's make learning enjoyable and meaningful, so you can thrive in real-life situations. I can't wait to get started!

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.
