English and Test-Prep Tutoring with an emphasis on the conversational use of language

From 51.36 € /h

Hello, I'm a young teacher currently living in Fribourg. I'm a CELTA graduate (Cambridge English Language Teaching for Adults) and I would love to help you with any issues concerning homework, essay writing or helping out with any fear you may have with communicating in English (and don't worry, we've all been there)!

More specifically:
- I would be creating a special course plan specifically made for you and what you may be struggling with
- I only speak in English to create an English-speaking friendly environment where making mistakes is cherished and used as a tool towards getting better
- I like to teach grammar in a fun way, through conversation, games and functional language (the language you may be used in every-day situations i.e. while shopping, asking for directions, etc.)
- As I previously said, mistakes are cherished in my classes, I would be collecting them, and at the end of every class, you would most likely be able to correct them yourself!

Extra information

It would be helpful if before the lesson you could inform me about specific things you would like to improve/ work on.

About Me

Hello, I'm a young person with a big passion for teaching and languages. My love for teaching appeared as I discovered that I myself don't learn very efficiently when approached by the more 'traditional' way of teaching (i.e. the I preach- You write down method) so I decided to find the easiest way possible for me to learn, I discovered that it was through conversation and putting language into context rather than stare at rows and tables all day long. I soon realized that I wasn't the only one who felt this way and I completed the CELTA (Cambridge English Language Teaching for Adults) course which helped me understand that we all learn differently, some through conversation, some through music, some through movement, but ultimately we all need this factor of putting language into a real-life situation in order to truly understand it.
This is what I mean to do, I would be creating a personalized lesson plan for all my students and having the first lesson (45 minutes), in order to understand what your interests are, how you like to learn and what motivates you. I hope to inspire you and show you just how amazing and fun English can be.

➤ Learn French with a successful technique: the main objective is to acquire bases or improve your level in French (written & oral: pronunciation, comprehension, language construction, communication, conjugation, grammar & vocabulary). It is also to understand the cultural specificities of Switzerland & France.

➤ Whether it is for work or leisure, the classes are adjusted to the initial diagnosis and to your needs.

➤ The method focuses on your own goals and:

• are adjusted to your own rhythm, with (funny) oral and writing exercises
• help to improve your everyday/practical skills
• on interactivity: you learn much more quickly with private sessions and you develop listening and vocabulary skills in an effective way
• these classes are customized courses to create an environment adjusted to each person, to meet your individual needs & requirements, and to learn French effectively.

➤ Statistically, you will be able to notice that you have progressed with these private classes, after 2 or 3 classes (based on our 2023 survey).

My name is Marc and I study at the university of Fribourg. I study psychology in my second year and I am interested in languages.

I'm not capable of speaking french fluently, so the course is aimed at german-speaking beginners and intermediates or at already english speaking persons.

Originally, I'm from Germany, so I'm capable of advising you through high german / standard german on all levels. Psychology and Philosphy are both fields of interest, which I had in School and have at least 2 semesters of universitarian experience.

I am motivated and have fun teaching, so if you are interested, you can send me a message!

Classes for children, teenagers and young adults. Different programs according to the age and level of the pupil/student. We can discuss the needs of the person concerned together and determine the objectives of the course. I can give this lesson at my own home (in Bern) if necessary, or I can travel (regions and surroundings of Bern, Friborg and Biel). There is also the possibility of following the course by webcam (for example on Zoom).

Teacher, graduate in Psychology, in the course of Master. With experience in private lessons with primary and secondary level children.
My goal is to help the student understand the language, by practicing exercises, and this, going at a pace that suits him. Thus, I give homework to the student to ensure that there is a follow-up and I ask the parents to check that the homework is done.
