Private English Language Tuition - Conversational and Writing for Children, Youths and Adults

A partir de 78.18 $ /h

Hi there,

Allow me to introduce myself! I am Min Ling (Melissa), a Singaporean living in Aigle, Switzerland. I have a bachelor's degree in Business Marketing and English is my native language where I was born and bred. In my country, we mainly speak English or/and our mother tongue ( in my case, Mandarin) for our everyday activities. Since moving to the French-speaking part of Switzerland, I picked up French (4+ years) and I am not going to lie, I am a work in progress, and I am working hard to improve it.

No matter what level you are, one of my goals is to make you feel at ease and stress-free learning English whether you have little to no knowledge of the language. I will help you build a strong foundation through fun and interactive lessons because we learn better when it is interesting and captivating. More importantly, I will also help you grow your confidence in conversing in English focusing on proper pronunciation and fluency for social, school, travel, work, or at networking events.

Do not hesitate to reach out to me should you have any queries!

Let's have fun together! :)

One of my motivations to teach is so that I do not put my education to waste. I love to share my knowledge with keen learners. I hope that what you (or your child) can learn from me can benefit you for your future projects/work/school.

My friends and family would describe me as humourous, easy-going and patient. I love to work with children and I believe that children like me too! ;) I have also worked with youths in my personal life back in Singapore and also as a business owner in Switzerland, I am always happy to meet new faces and to share my knowledge.

Singapore & Southeast Asian Food Cooking Class Online

75.53 $ /h

Have you ever travelled to Singapore, Malaysia, or other Southeast Asian countries and fallen in love with their food culture? Why not recreate the flavours in the comfort of your home, following easy-to-follow recipes with the guidance of a passionate Singaporean home cook?

Born into a family of Spice Makers, I am a third-generation Spice Girl based in Switzerland. I learned the nuts and bolts of spice mixing from my father and cultivated the love of cooking from the OG Spice Lady Boss, my paternal grandmother aka ahmah. From a young age, I was exposed to the vibrant colours and aroma of fresh spices then as I grew older, watching and assisting my ahmah in the kitchen for our daily dinners was my favourite time of the day.

Traditional Singaporean dishes such as Chicken Curry, Sambal Assam Fish, Rendang, and Sambal Prawns/Squid, Stir-fry KangKong (morning glory) are commonly found on our dinner table. For special occasions or not, we would also cook Nasi Lemak and Laksa and these two dishes have become my go-to comfort food whenever I miss my motherland.

1. Chicken Curry (non-vegetarian)
Chicken Curry is an iconic Peranakan dish in South East Asia. Chicken and potatoes are stewed in spicy, rich and creamy coconut gravy. Usually served with rice but it is also delicious to be eaten with a French baguette or bread.

2. Laksa with Prawns/Vegetables (vegetarian-friendly)
Traditional Laksa is a spicy noodle soup popular in the Peranakan cuisine of Southeast Asia. Laksa consists of thick wheat noodles or rice vermicelli in a thick broth made with spices, fresh aromatics and coconut milk. Common toppings include fried tofu puffs, fish cakes, shrimp, bean sprouts or other vegetables and minced fresh laksa leaves.

3. Meat Rendang (non-vegetarian)
Meat Rendang is a Singaporean, Malaysian and Indonesian “dry” curry commonly made with red meat, spices and coconut milk which makes it spicy, rich and creamy. Beef rendang is considered by many to be the king of all curries as they are packed with complex flavours.

4. Sambal Assam Fish (non-vegetarian)
Sambal Asam Fish is a classic Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia dish which is addictively sour, tangy and spicy thanks to tamarind (Asam) and chilli. It is considered a healthy dish with lots of vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplant, lady’s fingers and fish with no coconut milk and tastes amazingly satisfying.

6. Bak Kut Teh (non-vegetarian)
Bak kut teh, or pork ribs soup, is a popular traditional Chinese dish in Singapore. The dish consists of pork ribs stewed with a mixture of aromatic spices such as garlic, white pepper, black pepper, star anise, cinnamon and other spices.

7. Kueh Salat / Seri Muka
It is a popular Singaporean and Malaysian Nyonya kueh (pastry) made with pressed glutinous rice layered with coconut egg custard (Kaya) flavoured with pandan. (steamer required)

You will need:
- Basic cooking equipment such as a saucepan, pots, knife, cutting board etc.
- Cooking hob
- A blender or a food processor
- Apron

Once a class is confirmed, I will be providing you:
- A recipe card
- An ingredient list. You will need to get the ingredients on your own before the class.
- A packet of Anthony The Spice Maker's Spice Blend depending on what we are cooking.
For local students (residing in Switzerland & Liechtenstein ) I will send you the spice blend free of charge.
For international students, I will send you the spice blend but shipping fees are at your expense.

The class will be conducted in English.

Private Chinese Mandarin Tuition - Conversational & Writing for all ages

78.18 $ /h

Chinese is a beautiful language! Whether you are hoping to learn it for travel, school, work purposes or fun, I am ready to help you with it!

As a Singaporean Chinese, I started learning Chinese at age 4 as it was mandatory for us to learn our mother tongue. I enjoyed learning the language when I was still in school because I had patient and fun teachers who made learning the language captivating. It has greatly helped me in my work and everyday life and also as I travel to Mandarin speaking countries.

Whatever your level, my goal is to help you fall in love with the language with unusual learning techniques ( not just writing and reading all the time). I believe we learn better when we are having fun. I will help you master the foundation and come up with a tailored plan for you to learn new vocabulary. I do not promise overnight results, but I can promise you that as long as you are a keen learner, you will be able to understand and participate in conversations in Mandarin in a short time!

I have always loved being able to share my knowledge with others in a pedagogical way while bringing fun and the desire to learn.

My C1-C2 level has been perfect during my last 7 years abroad. This allows me to offer courses based on the practice of written and oral comprehension but mainly on elocution. I adapt very readily to the educational level of children and adolescents but also to the professional needs of adults.
I look forward to meeting you!
