CELTA certified English language teacher, exam prep, all levels, beginners to advanced business English

A partir de 79.5 $ /h

I have been teaching English for many years and have watched my students progress, pass exams and improve both spoken and written English, and watched them go from one level to the next. My classes are both fun and informative and no two classes are ever the same! I do focus on the individual student and what they want to achieve, whether it be conversational classes or striving to pass an exam, aided with writing and listening. I have prepared students for Trinity and Cambridge exams, as well as Escuela Idiomas. All of my students passed their exams, some with distinctions. I also offer homework support to students. I do put emphasis on pronunciation. I sometimes assign homework, but I find that often the case may be that if the student concentrates on what we achieved in the lesson on that day, and studies that content. I do, however, encourage a little study in order to progress and achieve your personal goal.

Are you looking for a qualified English teacher from England? You have the possibility to improve your English while being supervised by your teacher. You can work on your grammar, writing, speaking and pronunciation. Are you desperate to pass your exams, prepare yourself for an interview or correct an essay? Or do you want to go to an English school or follow an English programme? The teacher is open to your requests.
Maybe you want to share your English lesson with some of your friends? It is possible to form a group at a reduced price, tell me with whom you would like to form a group. ;-) If not, the lessons are also individualised (private).

All levels are welcome (beginners to university students)! The teacher will be happy to receive you. Lessons can also be delivered online, students even learn better when lessons are given via Skype (the teacher takes notes for you online), technology is so cool! :-)

Do you have a question? Don't worry, the teacher will be happy to answer you. Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

Hello, my name is Andrés and I'm a Master student based in the Grand Geneva area. I have been teaching children English, Spanish & German for the last years.

I believe that children absorb the most out of a language when they are in constant contact with somebody that masters it and when they learn it through play.

I will ensure that your kids feel reassured by empowering them to co-create and learn from each other, embracing a motivation spirit, ensuring effective communication and making sure all diverse voices are being heard and taken into account.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Looking to pick up a new language? Or maybe you've watched The Crown and want to speak like the Queen of England? Look no further! As a native speaker of English - and fluent speaker of Spanish and French - I can put myself in your shoes and help you chat, read and sound like a Brit, only using the best and most natural sounding language. What’s more, I have a wealth of experience teaching English in France and Argentina, can accommodate all levels of English and will tailor my lessons based on your specific needs and interests. The best part: as a Specialised Translation Masters student at UniGe, I’m always around Uni-Mail and Champel, meaning I can come to you, we can meet in the middle or we can hop on a Zoom call! The choice is yours. Now that you’ve found your teacher, the only question is...when would you like to get started?

Send me a message with any questions or queries and I’ll get back to you ASAP!

Best wishes,

My name is Nicolas, and I'm an English teacher with eight years of teaching experience. I've spoken English since I was a teenager and have continued to practice it through my many travels. My level was further improved during an extended stay in Canada. In 2018, I passed the TEFL Cambridge exam, the English as a Foreign Language Teaching Certificate.

Having also gone through the process of learning to speak this language, I am well aware of the different stages my students go through. This helps considerably.

My courses are custom-built to achieve personal goals and are adapted to the specific needs of each individual.

Practice is prioritized throughout the learning process to foster independence as quickly as possible. Basic grammar and vocabulary concepts are also covered, depending on the student's level.

This course is aimed at:
- Beginners (basics, conversation, travel);
- Intermediate/advanced (improvement, exam preparation: TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC);
- Professionals (business English, interview preparation).

Feel free to contact me for more information.

With pleasure :)

Initially, I listen to the student to understand their current level with the language, their relationship to it. To identify their difficulties, strengths and weaknesses. And how they envision and view language as a tool.
Then I evaluate it on several aspects: oral, written, and oral comprehension.
Then I determine a program based on the difficulties and shortcomings identified.
I explain to him what I have noticed and what I propose we work on, and if he or she agrees.
