Tutoring in German and English for all levels

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I offer tutoring (help with homework, revision, oral practice ...) in German and English, for children, adolescents and adults of all levels. The approach that I propose is as serious as it is creative, and my learning methods are adapted to the needs and preferences of each one. Whether reading Goethe or discussing movies in English, I will be happy to motivate you or your child to study these languages.

English is my mother tongue, and I speak German fluently (among other things thanks to a bilingual high school diploma and a one-year exchange that I did in Munich). I have been offering tutoring in these two languages since 2010.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am passionate about modern and ancient languages, and I want to instill the same passion in others. Focused above all on the relationship I create with my students, I adapt my teaching methods to their individual needs, and when the opportunity arises, I take pleasure in integrating their personal interests into my lessons: for example reading excerpts from Greek comedies with a teenager who wants to become an actor, or talking in German about bicycles with a cyclist. I do not hesitate to use visual or auditory aids to enrich the lesson and stimulate the interest of my students.

Special needs (autism, ADHD, dyslexia ...): I had the chance to teach several adolescents and adults with special needs, which I have always approached with seriousness and sensitivity. I gladly take into account the specific experiences, preferences and difficulties of you or your child in my lessons.

Education

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I obtained my university bachelor's degree in ancient Greek and Mesopotamian studies in 2018, and my university master's degree in antiquity sciences with specialization in ancient Greek in 2021.

Experience / Qualifications

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I have been giving lessons and rehearsals in English and German since 2010, and in ancient Greek since 2015. English and French are my mother tongues, and I speak German fluently, among other things thanks to a bilingual gymnasium maturity and to a one-year exchange in Munich.

Did you choose to study Greek in college or university, but struggling to get by? Or are you passionate about Antiquity and want to learn an ancient language, but you don't know where to start? I am here to help you: I offer individual lessons (material provided by me) as well as tutoring (help with homework, revision ...) in ancient Greek for students of all levels. The approach that I propose is as serious as it is creative, and my learning methods are adapted to the needs and preferences of each one. Whether reading Homer or translating fairy tales from French to Greek, I will be happy to give you a taste for this language and the richness of ancient Greece. I have a bachelor's and a master's degree in ancient Greek, and I have been giving lessons and tutoring in this branch since 2015. PLEASE NOTE: I do not teach modern Greek.
I am an independent tutor with extensive experience in teaching languages. I am a native French speaker, and I have completed a Masters degree in languages and history at the Faculté des Lettres of the University of Geneva (UNIGE). I offer private French lessons tailored to the student's level and needs, in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere. My methods are interactive, creative, and focused on building practical skills - so that you feel confident using and understanding French in your day-to-day life. Areas I can assist you in include: • learning basic or advanced grammar; • becoming comfortable in holding everyday conversations; • practicing your writing skills, including correct expression and spelling; • broadening your vocabulary in fields relevant to your interests (eg business, shopping, travel...); • and improving your command of various other aspects of the French language - just let me know what you want to work on! Lessons may take place at your home, at another location of your convenience, or online via Skype or Zoom.

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

Amélie
Cours de Français, Néerlandais, Anglais, Mathématiques, Histoire, Relations Internationales, Droit, Sciences et Géographie.
I am a Belgian (Flemish) and French student who has recently completed a Master's degree in International Law at the University of Amsterdam. I completed my Bachelor's degree in International Relations at the University of Geneva (magna cum laude) and also spent six months on exchange at UCSB (University of California, Santa Barbara). Additionally, I attended an international high school in France for my secondary education, where I specialized in sciences and achieved a score of 18/20 on the final scientific baccalaureate. The classes at this school were taught in French, english, dutch, and spanish. Here is an overview of my previous tutoring experience: 2021/2022: I worked at "bijlesthuis," a Dutch tutoring institution, where I primarily taught french, dutch, and english to adult learners seeking to improve their language skills. During the same period, I also provided classes to other students through Apprentus. 2021: Through Apprentus and other websites, I assisted several younger students (ages 5-15) in Bern and Geneva, helping them improve their skills in subjects such as math and french. 2017/2020: I worked for three years at a tutoring institution in Geneva called ARA, where I primarily taught french, mathematics, and english. During this time, I also spent two years working at a private school called Florimont, where I supported students aged 11-16 across various subjects by assisting them with their homework. I can teach French, Dutch, and English, and I thoroughly enjoy teaching and assisting students in their progress and acquisition of new skills. As a person, I am flexible, calm, and positive. I am excited to meet you and look forward to working with you! Amélie
