TYLEC-Qualified English Specialist: Expert Private Tuition for Ages 5 to 16

From 43 £ /h

Class Description: Specialist English Tuition (TYLEC Certified) | Ages 5–16
Elevate your child’s English with a TYLEC-qualified specialist dedicated to academic excellence and natural fluency. Unlike standard tutoring, my approach is built on certified methodology specifically designed for the cognitive development of children and teenagers.
A Tailored Pedagogical Approach:
• Early Immersion (Age 5+): We build native-like intuition through high-energy, play-based immersion. I focus on phonics, active listening, and building the confidence to speak without hesitation.
• Skill Consolidation (Age 10+): I bridge the gap between "classroom English" and fluency. We focus on grammar precision, creative writing, and preparation for Cambridge Young Learners assessments to track measurable progress.
• Academic Mastery (Age 16+): I provide rigorous coaching for high-stakes milestones, including IB, IGCSE, and Maturité exams. We focus on advanced rhetoric, essay structure, and the critical analysis required for top-tier university entry.
Why My Methodology Works:
With a focus on the international community in Geneva, I provide a bridge between local school requirements and global standards. Every lesson is meticulously planned to match your child’s unique learning style, ensuring that English becomes an asset, not a burden.

About Me

About Me: TYLEC & Montessori Certified English Specialist
I am a highly qualified English educator specializing in the cognitive and linguistic development of children and adolescents. With a background in Child Psychology and as a certified Montessori English teacher, I provide a unique, holistic approach to language acquisition that respects each student’s individual learning pace.
Why My Background Matters:
• TYLEC Qualification: I am trained in the gold standard of Young Learner pedagogy, ensuring lessons are age-appropriate and academically sound.
• Psychological Insight: My studies in Child Psychology allow me to identify learning barriers and build the emotional confidence necessary for fluency.
• Montessori Methodology: I incorporate self-directed learning and hands-on engagement, fostering a genuine love for English rather than rote memorization.
• Local Expertise: Having worked in the Geneva Parascolaire (GIAP) system, I have a deep understanding of the local school environment and the specific needs of bilingual families in Switzerland.
My Commitment to the Student:
I believe in radical personal attention. By focusing on the unique strengths and interests of each student—whether a 5-year-old explorer or a 16-year-old scholar—I create a tailored curriculum that delivers measurable results. I don't just teach a language; I mentor students toward academic and personal success.
