English as a Second Language (ESL) with a true FR/EN bilingual speaker (Cambridge C2 certified) | Flexible methods and guaranteed fun

English as a Second Language (ESL) with a true FR/EN bilingual speaker (Cambridge C2 certified) | Flexible methods and guaranteed fun

Speaking English when you're not a native speaker can be a little daunting. Is my accent too strong? Does my vocabulary sound a bit like gibberish? And how do you even pronounce "gibberish"? What's that strange expression I heard? Do you want to: - interact better with your international colleagues and clients - make yourself truly understood by locals when you go on holiday abroad - chat comfortably with expats at the pub or gym - feel more confident writing professional emails in English - better understand American or British pop culture references? For: - complete beginners starting from scratch - those who consider themselves beginners but just lack confidence - intermediate levels - advanced levels I am trained in modern teaching methodologies, I design tailored lessons built around real-life communication rather than repetitive textbook drills. I'm, Thomas, a 41 year old truly bilingual (Cambridge C2 certified) Geneva native who's been learning English since he was 6, and a few other languages since then (Italiano, Deutsch, 日本語 and ภาษาไทย). I've studied literature, education sciences and information sciences. I love teaching, I have first-hand experience of how challenging and intimidating it can be to learn a new language, and a desire to build bridges with what you already know in YOUR language(s). I use flexible methods tailored to your needs and learning preferences: I can teach you grammar to understand the structure of the language and/or engage you in fluent and natural conversations to improve your vocabulary, listening comprehension, and pronunciation. I'd love to share all of that with you in a way that fits you specifically, so don't hesitate to shoot me a message if you want more info. I'm focused on making learning fun but don't get it twisted: I'll take your progress to heart and work hard to that end.

English tutoring – a personalized, clear, and motivating method

As a law student at Oxford University, I understand the importance of clear explanations, critical thinking, and self-confidence in learning. I offer private tutoring in English, mathematics, and humanities in a supportive, dynamic environment tailored to each student's needs, abilities, and goals. My teaching method I am convinced that effective learning relies first and foremost on a genuine understanding of concepts, rather than simply memorizing them. My lessons are interactive, encouraging, and adapted to each student's pace, with the aim of making difficult subjects more accessible and engaging. I break down complex concepts into simple steps, use concrete examples, and encourage students to ask questions and develop their own reasoning. My goal is not only to improve their academic results, but also to help them gain confidence, independence and a love of learning. What sets me apart I am currently a law student at New College, University of Oxford, where my studies require strong analytical, writing, and reasoning skills. I also have an excellent level in mathematics, having achieved the maximum grade of A* in the GCSE Advanced Mathematics, an exam which I took a year early. I combine academic rigor with a warm and accessible teaching approach. Aware that each student learns differently, I strive to create a reassuring environment where everyone feels free to ask questions, make mistakes, and progress at their own pace.

And then I can have time to practice the materials before class. After class, she gave me feedback on which I made mistakes during the class. After finishing the contract with her, I think I will speak English fluently a lot. ”
