Hello! I am a native English professional, born and raised in the South-East of England. I specialise in teaching professionals correct 'Queen's English' pronunciation and spelling to improve business writing and speaking skills.

I currently work in Zurich in financial services and have spent the last 9 years working in investor relations, corporate communications and the private investment universe, at management level, in London and Switzerland. I have the skills and extensive experience to teach you how to present yourself in a professional and eloquent manner and write perfect emails, marketing materials, communications, academic pieces and resumes.

I can also offer these services to younger students who do not necessarily need business skills but need a hand in learning English overall, for example reading out loud and learning correct grammar.

I am very patient, friendly and able to tailor my services to your individual needs - I can be as flexible as needed to help you reach your goals.

A Russian native speaker, with teaching experience, offer conversational practice for those who want to study and improve their Russian language skills.
It is possible to train children and teenagers.
Geographically: Zurich and surrounding area.

I give tutoring lessons in French, English or German. My goal is to help students with the grammar and pronounciation of the language.
At the end of the lessons I like to ask some test questions to see whether the student has understood what we went through and repeat it one more time.

Hi, I specialized in English teaching for more than 10 years & have been training many internationals in my 7 full years of being in educational institutes & NGOs. I had the priviledge to teach English in Bangkok, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, India, Portugal and Poland

I have run more than 70 education workshops/training. I have both TESOL & TEFL teaching certificate.

My lessons starts with a casual conversation to get a feeling of my students level. It will then be a series of topic of conversations that I will go through. My aim is to make my students as casual and normal as I can so it's a natural conversation no matter what level my students at. This is to build their comfortability to make mistakes and be OK with it, so they can learn faster.

Grammar and vocabulary will come during and after I sense a confidence in my students.
My techniques are adopted from years of working in international education organisations with underprivileged and illiterate groups to fast track their ability to master and converse in English.

So let me know if you would like to learn with me, you can even give it a try with half the price for the first class :)

I am an experienced English language teacher dedicated to help you grow and reach your desired level.My goal is to enhance the skills you already possess and polish them to the best degree.My classes are fun and interactive.You will have direct online access with one on one support and guidance.I will also narrate and guide you through daily situations where you might need English.
Whether it is as a hobby or for work we can concentrate on your goals and customise the classes to reach them together.

I am happy to help you learn the French language: 📚written or 🎤🎧oral or both. It depends on your needs.

I follow the institut Français programmes to design my course.
Through videos, audios, images, texts, songs, stories... learners will learn how to listen, speak, read, and write in French.

You will be comfortable and motivated. There will be no stress or routine. I am patient and a good listener.

If you want to improve your French skills, or you have an exam or homework, contact me💐 🏵️

Through an approach based on my personal experience and the cases that I have already treated, I offer you:

- a (free) one-hour session, intended to learn about your personal/professional context
- if I judge that I am able to contribute to an improvement in your situation, according to criteria defined by you, we will plan the coaching sessions

Self-confidence, once it is (re)found, is projected onto all aspects of our life. Personal, emotional well-being, or what we project in a professional context.

It is based on a set of mechanisms, interdependent themes (physical form, sleep, diet, the structure of our time, our habits, the way we manage our relationships, our passions, etc.) .

My approach is not therapeutic, I will only focus on the elements of which I have effective experience and will direct you, if necessary, towards professionals able to take care of the elements requiring a specific approach/therapist.

I attach absolute importance to the confidentiality of our discussions, and will always leave you the initiative to schedule the next session.

With 20 years of experience and certifications in Spain and the UK, I offer dynamic, tailored lessons to help professionals improve their communication skills.

Hi, I'm Michael. I'm from Switzerland but I spent most of last year in Brazil, where I was doing research for my PhD in history and where I was once again in the position of learning a foreign language – a valuable experience for any language teacher. Languages are my passion, whether learning or teaching them.

I have over 10 years of experience in teaching German as a foreign language on the most diverse level, in language schools, high schools and even a prison. Thus I can offer tailor-made individual classes. The pillar of my practice-based method is that the students use the language on topics and situations that are really important for them, be it daily-life situations or specific topics they need vocabulary for. Of course, grammar explanation and practice is important, too. And there is also a place for fun, through learning games, German songs etc.

As a native Chinese speaker from Shanghai currently studying in Switzerland, I offer **flexible and personalized Chinese lessons** tailored to your unique interests and goals. Whether you’re starting from scratch with pronunciation, aiming to master conversational fluency, exploring classical poetry (like Tang and Song poems), or delving into professional vocabulary (business, academia, etc.), I’ll adapt to your needs.

My classes emphasize cultural exchange—learn Chinese through tea ceremonies, festivals, and idiomatic expressions while sharing your own culture! I also integrate basic French/German explanations for Swiss learners to ease comprehension. Expect a relaxed, interactive environment where mistakes are stepping stones to progress.

Interested in learning one of the most widely spoken and influential languages in the world? Whether you're preparing for travel, work, or simply curious about Chinese culture, my lessons will help you speak real, practical mandarin — the way native speakers actually use it.

You'll learn how to communicate naturally and confidently with Chinese speakers, understand cultural nuances, and gain insights that go far beyond textbooks. Speaking Chinese can unlock new personal and professional opportunities, broaden your worldview, and connect you to over a billion people.

I'm based in Zurich and offer personalized lessons tailored to your goals and pace. No matter your starting point, I’ll help you build a strong foundation in the language — and have fun along the way.
