From 27 £ /h

Hello !

A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, I have a multidisciplinary background in film, cognitive science, and journalism. This combination has allowed me to develop excellent skills in communication, critical analysis, and academic and professional writing. Having myself written and supported applications for scholarships and programs in the United States, I am well aware of the expectations of the American school system and the strategies needed to effectively present one's profile.

I offer Chinese and English classes tailored to each student's needs and level. My lessons can include oral language practice, everyday conversation, writing cover letters or application essays, and improving written style and clarity. My approach combines linguistic rigor, intercultural understanding, and personalized support to help each student progress with confidence.

I have been giving chinese lessons for more than 10 years. Before that, I was a radio broadcaster and a journalist in China, hence I have a perfect pronunciation of the official mandarin, without any accent. It provides my students the best conditions to learn chinese, as the tone you give to words when you speak chinese as a foreigner is of great importance if you want to be understood by natives.

I have a strong working experience helping students preparing their HSK exam, I also often teach diplomats, to help them acquire the necessary skills and understand properly the vocabulary specific to their job.

I also love to work with kids, as I was a mandarin teacher for 2 years in an international school in Singapore. I give them a playful learning environment and use fun learning methods, so even the youngest can stay focused!

My personalized tutoring lessons are a great help in enabling my students to progress with confidence. I provide them with tailored learning methods. After easily identifying their areas of weakness, I assist them in consolidating their knowledge and achieving all the objectives required by their teachers in public or private schools.

I have two educational support locations available for my students:
Avenue de Lavaux (since 04.01.21)
Rue du Lac (since 01.09.22)

In addition to this, I offer pre-entry courses, ECR preparation courses, school coaching, and language courses.
My private lessons are suitable for DYS/ADD students as well as highly proficient (HP) students. I also collaborate with other teachers for certain more specialized subjects.

All lessons can be conducted either individually or in small groups of 2 to 4 students.

My name is Noreen, I'm a second-year bachelor's student at HEC Lausanne, and I tutor elementary school students. I'm passionate about sharing the many learning techniques I've developed, and I would be delighted to use them to help students progress with confidence. Patient and calm by nature, I don't hesitate to rephrase or re-explain concepts several times so that each student can understand at their own pace. Lessons can be conducted in either French or English, depending on your needs. I look forward to meeting you and discussing your goals!

Hello! / Bonjour ! / Ciao! / Merhaba!

Are you looking to improve your English for university, career advancement, school exams, or everyday conversation? I am here to help you reach your goals with personalized, engaging, and highly effective lessons.

I am a Master's student at UNIL, holding a BA in English Literature and the Cambridge CELTA certification. I have over 5 years of professional teaching experience working with children, teenagers, and adults across all language levels (A1 to C2).

Because I speak French, Italian, and Turkish, I understand how different native speakers learn English and also have difficulties learning it. I can easily explain tricky grammar rules using comparisons you will actually understand!

What I Offer:
Academic Support: Help with school homework, gymnastics/maturité prep, or UNIL/EPFL university assignments.

Exam Preparation: Focused training for Cambridge (PET, FCE, CAE), IELTS, or TOEFL exams.

Conversation & Fluency: Boosting your confidence, perfecting your pronunciation, and expanding your vocabulary.

Business & Professional English: Interview prep, resume polishing, and professional presentation skills.

My Teaching Approach:
- No two students are the same. I tailor every single lesson to your specific pace, interests, and goals. I focus on creating a supportive, interactive environment where you feel completely comfortable making mistakes and growing your confidence.

Lessons can take place online, at the UNIL campus, or at a convenient location in Lausanne. Feel free to send me a message to discuss your goals. Let's make learning English enjoyable and stress-free!

Hello! My name is Allegra and I currently live in Lausanne. I am Italian and I offer language exchanges in Italian, but also in English, which I speak fluently after living in the United States.
The idea behind a language exchange is first and foremost to practice a language naturally, through conversation and everyday interactions. It's not necessarily a traditional lesson, but rather a pleasant opportunity to speak, ask questions, correct mistakes, and gain confidence in speaking. I can adapt to each person's level and needs, whether it's to improve conversation, pronunciation, vocabulary, or simply to have the chance to practice regularly.
I already have experience in this area, particularly with children living abroad in Italian or American families. I have worked with children who wanted to maintain contact with their parents' language and practice it in a natural and fun way. Therefore, I also offer conversation sessions for children, tailored to their age and level.
I am a responsible, reliable, and patient person, and I enjoy creating a relaxed atmosphere where learning can take place without pressure. I am primarily available in the late afternoon and on weekends.
Looking forward to getting to know you and chatting with you!

Hi, I'm Diana!
I'm a Master's student with advanced English (IELTS 8.0), and I'm currently learning French and Korean, so I know what it's like to be a language learner. I'm studying for a Master in Hospitality Management at EHL in Lausanne, and my engineering background helps me explain things clearly, step by step.
I've traveled to 40+ countries, so my lessons focus on real-life English for travel, work, and study. I'll help you build confidence in speaking and listening, with sessions tailored to your goals, whether that's IELTS prep or just feeling comfortable in conversation.
Friendly, patient, and practical. Let's get you speaking with confidence!
