Private English Tutor for Business and Social Communication

I am a CELTA (Cambridge English Language Teaching for Adults) certified English instructor based in Geneva. I have been working with business clients to improve their language and communication skills for the past five years in both professional and personal settings. I also have a background in journalism and communications which offer me the opportunity to edit to a high standard.

I can help you:

- Improve your speaking confidence and fluency
- Job coach from CV/Cover letter writing to interview skills
- Communicate more effectively and efficiently with colleagues and clients in both business and social settings
- Practice and refine presentations, proposals, and any other written or spoken communication
- Help you prepare for and pass exams (including Cambridge exams, IELTS, etc.)
- Become comfortable understanding and working in both UK or US English (I am American but studied and worked in London for 4 years)

I am happy traveling to your office or the most convenient place for you. I completely understand the pressures of work commitments and travel, and am therefore happy to offer flexibility in our lesson schedule.

About Me

A little about me...

I was born and raised near Buffalo, New York before graduating from the University of Missouri with a Bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism. After that I spent 4 years in London, UK where I received an MA from LCF (the University of Arts London). I’ve been living in Geneva now for about 5 years with my husband and beautiful little rescue dog, Chloé. I can usually be found swimming in the lake, walking in the mountains, cooking (and eating!), traveling and trying very very hard to speak French. I look forward to working with you!

Best, Shannon

Hello, I have been giving private lessons with a high success rate for many years. I have two children aged 9 and 15 who are in school in Switzerland and who I support, which keeps me up to date with the programme and teaching methods.

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
