About Me

I am an Italian-born but British-adopted art teacher, with several years of experience working with university students, as well as private tutor for high-school and IB students here in Switzerland. Throughout my academic career, I have presented at international conferences and served on the boards of several academic institutes and journals.

As a teacher, I am fully aware of how rapidly the academic world is evolving, thanks to advancements in technology such as AI, and I am excited to help students explore its potential rather than demonise it!

My goal is to help students develop the essential skills needed for success in high school and university, including strong reading and writing abilities, as well as independent, honest analytical and critical thinking skills.

I currently offer three types of lessons and also do informal sessions.
1. Personalised lessons where we follow YOUR needs. We make a program, and I provide the resources, documents, information and activities. Together, we work on everything you need to reach your target, but also to communicate, understand the people and the culture.

2. General lessons in which we follow a textbook and we work on ALL language skills with an emphasis on speaking. The textbook is also used for homework and tests are also given at the end of each unit.

3. Preparation for a French proficiency test we follow a plan based on your level (A1-C1), your target and the official requirements.

Finally, in the conversation/informal sessions, we can choose a topic (I can do it if you don't have any particular idea) that we discuss, we can also have spontaneous chats or correcting some material of yours! These sessions are NOT structured lessons.

Hi! Since obtaining my CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) diploma in summer 2020, I have been teaching English to learners of all ages, from beginner to advanced level (A1-C1). Lessons are tailored to the student's needs, whether it's improving conversational English, preparing for an exam, working on Business English and more.

In addition to my work as a teacher, I am a student of English language and literature at the University of Geneva. English is truly my passion, which is why I strive to transmit the love of this language to all my students.

A lesson typically lasts 60 minutes and can take place at the student's home, my home, or another convenient location (a cafe or at university, for example).

Do not hesitate to contact me for more information! I will be happy to answer you :)

A language that is learned fast once spoken, English is one that requires a development of one's vocabulary. I believe the fastest way to get a feel for a language is to speak it, in a natural flow of conversation. I propose weekly classes of various different topics, about what is happening in the world, new films movies, culture, etc. whatever we choose to discuss in order to improve and correct your English.
Correction of texts and essay-planning is also possible !

You want to perfect your French and speak like a native? I am here to help.

In this class, I will teach you French vocabulary, spelling, grammar and syntax. For foreigners, this language is hard to learn. Its complex syntax, difficult grammar and precise pronounciation make the language look unaccessible. As your teacher, I will approach these subjects with care and will accompany your through your journey. I will also propfread your written documents and go through the details of your grammatical mistakes with you.

Learn how to speak like a native French/Swiss !
