About Me

After a career in finance in France and the United States, where I lived for 7 years, I chose to dedicate myself to teaching. I love sharing knowledge, and seeing my students progress is truly rewarding.

Maths (primary school to age 15)

Strengthening the basics and filling gaps
Understanding concepts rather than memorising
Regular practice and clear problem-solving methods
Preparation for tests and the brevet (French end-of-middle-school exam)

English (all levels)

Grammar, vocabulary and reading comprehension
Speaking practice to build fluency
Homework help and exam preparation (brevet, baccalauréat)
Real-life English from 7 years of living in the US

My approach

An initial meeting to assess level and set goals
Lessons tailored to each student's pace
A rigorous study method, useful in every subject
Regular feedback to parents

Results
Depending on their starting point, my students have improved by 2 to over 10 points out of 20. Beyond grades, my goal is to help them regain confidence and enjoy learning again.

Education

I hold a Master of Finance from France and an MBA from the United States. These degrees gave me a strong foundation in mathematics, logic and analytical thinking, which I now use to explain maths concepts clearly and step by step, showing students not just how to solve a problem but why it works.

My MBA, completed entirely in English, immersed me in the American academic and business world. It sharpened my communication, presentation and writing skills, which I pass on to students and professionals who want to speak English with confidence, especially in a business context.

Studying at a demanding level in two countries also taught me discipline, organisation and effective study methods. I share these with every student, because good results come from good habits as much as from understanding.

Finally, having been an international student myself, I know what it feels like to learn in another language and adapt to a new culture. This helps me support my students with patience, empathy and encouragement.

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.

Graduate in Foreign Languages and Literatures at the University, I offer individualized courses for students and adults, adapting to their requirements. Either it is a help with the preparation of the interrogations, the homework or the exams, or one asks a grammatical explanation or a linguistic support, in preparation for the professional work. Once or twice a month, we will make a point of the situation together on what we have learned and progress made.

Hello everyone and thank you for visiting my profile. I offer a wide range of support for all age groups from children to adults. My expertise is teaching english, french and geography however I also offer classes in a variety of subjects as listed in the description.

I am very easy going with a calm nature. I try to make my lessons as engaging and personable as possible with your interests as a priority. Having gained several qualifications in teaching I understand how students learn and make sure that each lesson is focussed on improving my student's development. I make my lessons as active and closely related to your passions & interests as possible to keep them as active as possible. I really focus my lessons on my student's needs and tailor each lesson differently so that you get the best possible experience for your money. I like to build relationships with my students to make sure that they feel confident and comfortable enough to make mistakes as well as freely expressing themselves.

As a teacher I often work closely with students in schools who need extra help to get them to the level that they need to be. I have plenty of experience working 1:1 with special needs students which has provided me with the skills to cater to all pupils.

So if you're looking for someone to help you or your child develop their skills feel free to drop me a message and I'll be happy to get back to you.

Ps. I am also fluent in French so feel free to write to me in French.

Thank you!

I offer tutoring for French, German and English.

French is my mother tongue. I also spent a part of my schooling in England, which allowed me to develop a very good level in English. As for German, I have a B2 level and attend some of my university classes in German.

I would be happy to help students understanding their difficulties and support them in their learning, in order for them to progress at their pace and gain confidence in their capacity.

I believe that having the opportunity to learn is something we should make the most of. As students, we do not always feel motivated to study, but learning and developing good working habits can open so many doors for the future. I would love to help children not only understand their subjects better, but also gain confidence, perseverance and, hopefully, a genuine interest in learning.

I am still a student myself, so I understand the difficulties and frustrations that can come with studying. I want my lessons to be adapted to each student, their needs and the way they learn best. I am flexible with the subjects and topics they would like to work on, and my goal is to create a positive environment where they feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and improving at their own pace.

For me, tutoring is not just about getting better grades, but about helping students realise that the effort they put in today can give them many more opportunities tomorrow.
