About Me

Hi! I'm Varnika.

I believe learning should feel like a conversation, not a lecture.

I have an interdisciplinary background in Computer Science Engineering, Mental Health Social Work, and International Development, and I've worked with the United Nations for four years.

Along the way, I've designed training programmes, taught English at summer camps, and worked with people from many different countries and cultures.

Outside of work, I'm a published poet who loves literature, storytelling, and language. Whether we're exploring English, computer science, or academic writing, I enjoy helping students build confidence, ask questions, and discover their own way of learning.

I know that every student is different. Some learn best through examples, others through conversation or practice. My goal is to create a supportive, relaxed space where you feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and growing at your own pace.

Whether you're preparing for an exam, improving your English, learning programming, or simply curious about a new subject, I'd love to help you achieve your goals.

My name is Nicolas, and I'm an English teacher with eight years of teaching experience. I've spoken English since I was a teenager and have continued to practice it through my many travels. My level was further improved during an extended stay in Canada. In 2018, I passed the TEFL Cambridge exam, the English as a Foreign Language Teaching Certificate.

Having also gone through the process of learning to speak this language, I am well aware of the different stages my students go through. This helps considerably.

My courses are custom-built to achieve personal goals and are adapted to the specific needs of each individual.

Practice is prioritized throughout the learning process to foster independence as quickly as possible. Basic grammar and vocabulary concepts are also covered, depending on the student's level.

This course is aimed at:
- Beginners (basics, conversation, travel);
- Intermediate/advanced (improvement, exam preparation: TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC);
- Professionals (business English, interview preparation).

Feel free to contact me for more information.

With pleasure :)

I hold a Swiss high school diploma and I wish to put my knowledge at the service of primary school students.
I particularly enjoy helping children progress, gain confidence, and develop good study habits. I can provide support in general academic subjects, especially French and mathematics.
For me, it is important to transmit knowledge with patience, kindness and to adapt to the pace of each child so that they can learn in a reassuring and motivating environment.
