About Me
Good morning ! I am an American-German cellist based in Annecy. I speak French, English and German fluently. I started the cello at 7 years old in classical training, but I diversified to include jazz, pop, and current music in general.
In addition to my passion for music, I also enjoy writing and correcting lyrics for musicians, as well as helping with pronunciation. I am also an experienced language instructor and teach English and German.
Education
I graduated with a Master in Art, cello specialization, from the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne, received in 2021. This includes a great knowledge of musical theory, a vast repertoire ranging from renaissance music to contemporary music , as well as a mastery of orchestral and chamber ensemble playing. I also have some experience in recording.

Ten years of experience in teaching cello, music theory, as well as language courses in English and German.

My method is based on a complete approach not only to the cello but also to music. A technical approach to the instrument linked to this great sensitivity that music offers us, to make you, at any level, a complete musician. I focus not only on the technical aspect of the instrument, which allows us as cellists to give ourselves the tools necessary to express ourselves, but also elements of improvisation, which allow us to find freedom in the expression. Another core aspect of my teaching is playing music with my students. I regularly arrange pieces of all genres for two cellos, adapting the student's voice to their level.

I am of American and German origin having grown up in the Geneva region. I graduated with a Bachelor and a Master in performance from the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne; followed by a year of advanced training at the Royal College of Music in London. I almost have 10 years of teaching experience, but I continue to evolve and adapt to everyone's demands.

**********

My teaching method is based on a balanced approach not only to cello playing, but also towards music in general. A technical approach to the instrument combined with musicality and sensitivity can make anyone, at any level, a well-rounded musician. Working together, we will develop technique, providing us cellists with the necessary tools to express ourselves. Equally as important are elements of improvisation, allowing us to find freedom and expression in our cello playing. Another core aspect of my teaching is playing together. I regularly arrange pieces of all genres for two cells by adapting the student's part to his or her level.

About me: I am American and German and grew up in the Geneva area. I graduated with a Bachelor and a Master in performance from the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne; followed by a year at the Royal College of Music in London. I have nearly 10 years of teaching experience.

As a native English speaker with a Bachelor of Education and a Cambridge CELTA, I have 10 years of experience teaching English in New Zealand, Australia and the U.K and a wealth of experience teaching English to foreigners in whole class, small group and one-to-one settings.

I have taught children as young as 5, through to teenagers, adults and seniors. In any case, I adjust my teaching and learning to ensure my approach suits your needs and preferences. I am able to strike a balance between challenging you to grow and supporting you through your mistakes.

I specialise in personalised English programmes, which means I work out exactly where you are, where you want to go and how you like to learn and then I tailor a program to suit your specific learning needs.

I am able to teach English speaking, listening, reading, writing, spelling, phonics, punctuation and grammar. I will tailor all of the lessons to suit your interests e.g If you like art, I will help you to learn English through the topic of art and if you like sport, I will help you to learn English through the topic of sport.

I will assist you to improve your pronunciation of spoken English and I can assist you with audio and video recordings of each sessions, so you can review the class at your own leisure.

I will help you to develop your understanding of spoken English in authentic ways by listening to film, television, radio and podcasts, as well as engaging in conversation between the two of us.

I will support you to develop your reading, writing and speaking skills through supported practise and lots of opportunities to build on your existing vocabulary.

I will aid your spelling, punctuation and grammar through shared and independent writing activities, which will be both interesting and relevant.

Following each session, I can provide at home learning tasks and progress calls, or emails between sessions if you would like, plus I have a range of online services that can assist you to develop your English at home at your own pace.

**As I conduct tailored lessons for each individual student, I only have a limited availability each week. As a result, I must prioritise my ongoing students who require one-to-one sessions weekly, or twice weekly. If you are interested in developing your English rapidly in an engaging and fun way learning from a committed teacher with a high success rate, please contact me to see if I have an available slot for you.**

👋🏼 Hello! I'm Francesca. Do you want to learn or improve your Italian?
No problem, more than 300 students have studied with me and learned while having fun. I started teaching at 19 thanks to the director of my high school and I have more than 15 years of experience, in Italy and abroad, all over the world thanks to the internet.
I offer online Italian courses for all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced learners, i.e., C2. I always have quality reference books to recommend to students.
My classes are highly personalized and tailored to the specific needs of each student. I guarantee quality because I put a lot of passion and care into everything I do, trying not to overlook the details.

🚀 During the lessons, I will help you learn the basics of general Italian, paying attention to pronunciation and intonation while reading. I am always attentive to the needs of the students and ready to tailor my lessons. My lessons are an investment for the present and the future because they are prepared with passion, a lot of experience, and dedication 🧡.

🌟 If you are a beginner, don't worry because I take great care to make you feel comfortable.

➡️ I work on different levels: conversation on different topics, grammar, reading, writing, dictation and games (role-playing games in which the student can test himself by communicating in a natural and practical way with the teacher, as in real life).
In addition, preparation for official language certificates (CELI, CILS, PLIDA), the Swiss maturity exam, apprenticeship as a commercial employee CFC and tailor-made courses in a certain professional field.
➡️ All levels: A1-C2
