I specialize in teaching children and adults. I make learning creative and fun and completely tailor made to each student's learning style and strengths. I place a strong emphasis on intuitive learning through speaking and reading and I let the grammar and vocabulary knowledge build naturally. I do follow textbooks when required but I also lesson plan around it, using the student's interests to make the class interesting.

I have 4 years of experience behind me and can give classes for students at different levels, from primary school to high school. Don't hesitate to contact me for more information.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Hello everyone, my name is Sophie, and I'm a Chinese living in Switzerland. Chinese is my mother tongue, and I would like to offer German courses to those who want to learn Chinese, to correct pronunciation and grammar mistakes, to expand their vocabulary, and to help you understand Chinese culture, eating habits and social conditions. I believe that after a period of study, you can feel great progress and make learning a language no longer boring.

Hello there and welcome to my profile!

Would you like to practise your speaking skills and become more fluent in English?
Would you like to take an English proficiency exam?
Would you like someone to proof-read important documents or help you with phrasing sentences?

If you said yes to one or more of these questions, you're in the right place!

I am a native English speaker with a clear accent. I grew up in Surrey, England, and lived in UK until I was 22. After receiving my Classics degree from University of Cambridge I moved abroad to continue learning languages and teaching English.

I have a very good level of German (B2), and some understanding of Swiss German, having lived in Switzerland for over four years.

As a teacher and tutor, I am very kind and patient. I listen to my students’ needs and plan creative lessons accordingly.

I look forward to meeting you soon!

Best wishes,

Tasha

Hi there,
I'm Annika and I studied psychology in Heidelberg and Cambridge.
Tutoring has been my great passion for over 10 years, with a focus on mathematics and languages as well as statistics and psychology. Together with my tutoring students, I will close gaps in the material in order to prepare my students specifically for the work ahead. My goal is to convey the fun of learning to you/your children and I would like to help you/your children to approach homework, exams, high school and university exams with motivation.
I would be very happy to receive your message.

Hello, I am here to offer tutoring or English lessons for all levels. I am American and grew up bilingual in Dortmund, Germany. So, my native languages are English and High German.
I have many years of experience as an English tutor, having tutored English throughout high school and college. . I also received a TEFL "Teaching English as a foreign language" certificate in a seminar.
Through my various professional experiences as an experiential educator, workshop leader, language teacher and tutor, I can respond well to a variety of needs and have had a lot of experience with different students and groups in these areas. I have worked a lot with adolescent students from regular schools and young adult students. However, I also have experience with mentally or physically impaired students, groups of migrants and behaviorally challenged youth and am not afraid of difficult tasks as well as new challenges. I have aroused your interest ? Please contact me immediately to get to know me better and to arrange a first lesson. I also offer High German as a foreign language.
With kind regards
John

My classes offer gentle and personalized support for children with languages, homework, and schoolwork. Lessons are adapted to each child’s age, level, and learning style, helping them build confidence, independence, and a positive relationship with learning.

With a multilingual approach, children are supported in language development as well as in understanding school subjects and completing homework in a calm and encouraging environment. Special attention is given to each child’s individual needs, including support for children on the autism spectrum.

The goal is not only academic progress, but also helping children feel safe, understood, and motivated to learn at their own pace.
