Academic support in science subjects and/or language learning (English and Spanish)

From 26 € /h

I learned Spanish at the age of 7 by living in Costa Rica for 5 years, then I learned English at 12 by living in Canada for 4 years and I was able to strengthen my Spanish by living in Spain for 3 years.
I am comfortable with English, both written and spoken; I have obtained a SIELE C1 certification!
Spanish is more of a native language for me than a language I learned at school, so I can offer more in terms of spoken language and everyday help!

Regarding scientific subjects, I obtained my scientific baccalaureate with highest honors in 2024 and I am in my second year of engineering at EPFL.

About Me

J’aime profondément aider les enfants et évoluer à leurs côtés. Être entourée d’eux est quelque chose de naturel pour moi, et je m’investis toujours avec bienveillance et sérieux dans ce que je fais.
Je suis titulaire du BAFA depuis 3 ans et, chaque été, je travaille dans des centres aérés, ce qui m’a permis d’acquérir une solide expérience avec des enfants d’âges variés. J’ai également déjà fait du baby-sitting, aussi bien ponctuel que régulier.

Lorsque j’étais plus jeune, j’avais davantage de facilités dans les matières littéraires, et il m’est arrivé de recevoir des cours particuliers. Cette expérience me permet aujourd’hui de très bien comprendre ce que l’on ressent lorsqu’on est à la place de l’enfant, avec ses doutes, ses difficultés et ses besoins spécifiques.

De nature timide lorsque j’étais plus jeune, j’ai moi-même subi certaines situations difficiles, et mon objectif est aujourd’hui d’éviter cela à tout prix avec vos enfants, en leur offrant un cadre rassurant, respectueux et encourageant.

Education

Mon parcours scolaire est atypique et très riche : j’ai étudié au CNED (école à la maison), puis dans une école locale au Costa Rica, ensuite dans une école anglophone au Québec, avant d’intégrer un lycée français en Espagne. J’y ai obtenu un baccalauréat scientifique, avec l’option section européenne, car j’adore l’anglais. Plus jeune, je participais également à des camps anglophones, ce qui a renforcé ma maîtrise de la langue. Je poursuis actuellement mes études à l’EPFL.

Experience / Qualifications

Mon approche repose sur l’écoute, la patience et l’adaptation à chaque enfant, afin de l’aider à progresser avec confiance et sérénité.

Hola, ¿qué tal? Mi nombre es Carlos, ¿y tú?

I come from a small country in Central America known for the beauty of its nature: Costa Rica. I am a native Spanish speaker, I hold a Degree in Spanish Language and Literature as well as three accreditations as a DELE Examiner (Certificate of Spanish as a Foreign Language), I also have a long experience of more than 10 years in teaching Spanish to adults, teenagers, elderly people and children from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds, both in a traditional environment as well as with new virtual distance learning methods.

My lessons are dynamic, with a lot of diverse resources and always in a laid-back mood to make you feel comfortable.

Hasta pronto

I am currently in the first year of HEC at the University of Lausanne. I am available to young students who have difficulty in English, Spanish, maths and music. I have just obtained my French-English bilingual maturity and spent a year in Australia. I also hold a Certificate of Proficiency in English (C2 English level) issued by Cambridge Assessment English. My goal is to help any student to clear up all the gray areas that he could have on a subject and lead him to the success of this one. Together, we will come back to the concepts learned in class that require revision or practice.

Experienced and qualified teacher gives Spanish lessons at all levels. Experience in gymnasium and bilingual education and in the training of adults and children.

Passionate about the Spanish language and culture, I offer lessons to share this pleasure. Having experience in secondary and post-compulsory education, including bilingual education, I give academic support and exam preparation courses (maturity, language exams). I also offer private lessons for those who want to master Spanish for personal reasons (learning for fun, to get by better when traveling or to be able to communicate with friends or family members ...) or who want improve their level for professional purposes. Besides, I also like to work with children. In Switzerland, I have noticed that there is a strong demand for learning Spanish among "half Spanish speaking" families. These very specific linguistic situations interest me a lot and I invest in them with pleasure.
I like to work with various activities to find the methods that correspond to my students and to develop the different skills (communication, comprehension and writing). I organize my courses so that my students can have solid and structured knowledge. I love fun activities and exercises that impart knowledge of Hispanic culture.

Mathematics is the daily life of many technical professions, as an engineer, everything related to them and their disciplines cannot resist me! Biology is just as important to understand how the world works, and knowing how to communicate in another language, so don't hesitate to contact me if you need extra help learning!

For all those who want to learn from scratch, improve their oral expression, learn to write texts, correct their grammar, spelling or figure of speech errors, or just put into practice what they know to improve the fluidity.
I am fluent in all three languages that I offer, so I can teach the course in any of the three.

For anyone wishing to either learn a language from zero, perfect their oral expression, learn how to redact longer texts, correct their grammar, spelling, or figures of speech, or simply to put into practice what they already know to improve fluency.
I speak the three languages on offer fluently, and can thus teach in any of the three.

If you want to learn a language from zero, perfect your oral expression, learn to write longer text messages, correct grammatical errors, spelling or stylistic figures, or more to put into practice what you need to learn the fluidity.
Hablo without difficulty of the tres idiomas cuyas classes propongo, así que podría dar la clase en qualquiera de los tres.

Having extensive teaching experience, I prepare students/adults for all levels of the DELE Spanish Diplomas and for all official Spanish exams within Universities.
● Spanish courses for adults who intend to travel or live in a Spanish-speaking country.
● Specialized fun Spanish courses for children (6-13 years old), audiovisual material, interactive games on the internet, choice of textbooks taking into account their age. Children learn the language through experiences and experiences while having fun.

I am a last year student at EPFL. I studied a BsC in Telecommunications Engineering in Madrid (UPM) and now I'm finishing my MsC in EPFL. I like playing basketball and piano.
I have the all necessary qualities to become an Spanish teacher, since I love my mother tongue and I am very fluent at theoretical grammar at all levels.
The dynamics of the class can be selected by the student: from an extensive course on the desired level of Spanish to casual taks.

Furher data:
- Place availability: I prefer going to the student's home if it is close to Ecublens/Lausanne but I can discuss coming to my house (student residence) or even have virtual classes (Zoom/Teams).
- Time availability: Every evening of the week.
- Age: 23.

I am a 25-year-old young woman, finishing school in 2018 and wish to teach languages (English, Italian, Spanish) which are languages that I have mastered since I was little.
