I have 17 years of teaching experience in New York (at the School of Visual Arts), European Union and Switzerland. I am a native speaker of the English language who grew up in Singapore, South Africa and New York.

598 of my 600 students passed their CFE, CAE, CPE, IELTS, TOEFL, LCCI 1-4, LNAT and TOLES tests by reaching the score they wanted.

I have prepared more than 80 students for job interviews. I corrected their CVs as well as their motivation letters. We simulated job interviews and I corrected their job interviews recorded on Skype or via conference calls. They all found the job of their dreams and this, for the most part, on their first try.

All teaching materials - lexicons, articles from the English and American press, podcasts, TED talks, YouTube videos, as well as electronic books dealing with grammar, business vocabulary.

English is considered the Lingua Franca in many parts of the World, and being comfortable in its spoken use is a valuable asset for both young and mature individuals.
My practical approach in teaching conversational English is based on 20 years as a professional in executive roles in all five continents, and with knowledge in French, Spanish and Swedish to assist with the necessary foundation and translation.
Join me for some energetic and fun spoken English classes.

To improve in a subject, you just need to know the rules and the rest becomes child's play. Having been a recent student, I adapt to the person and personalize my course. Pedagogy is the most important, so I try to make my course come alive!
I obtained a baccalaureate in Economics and Social Sciences (ES) with honors, a double bachelor's degree in History and Economics with honors and a master's degree in visual arts at HEAD.

This course is intended for students, from primary to mature.
Also for adults.

My teaching method is to start with the theoretical part to synthesize it and communicate the information to the student in the simplest way. The pupil assimilates the meaning and learns the definitions quickly. Also, I ask questions throughout the course to answer his doubts and incomprehension of the theoretical part.

Then, I move on to the so-called "active" part which consists in accompanying the student in each exercise to lead him to the success of these. In my strategy, I attach great importance to working on tests or exams to lead the student to the success of his school year.

I have a good pedagogy and easy to pass on information in a pleasant atmosphere.

My course illustrated with lots of examples and exercises to facilitate understanding and memorization.

- Course of the sessions:
The sessions begin with a reminder of the notions seen previously then an explanation of the course taught at school then a direct application of the new notions and finally assignment of the homework to be done for the session which will follow.

The methods used are effective through experiments with other students.

Hi future students! 👋

My name is Pauline, and I’m a native German speaker from Leipzig, Germany, with fluent English (American English) and Spanish, plus intermediate French.

If your goal is to speak German or English more confidently, naturally, and without stress, you’re in the right place. My lessons focus on real-life communication, not just textbooks and grammar drills.

What I offer:
- Conversational German or English to improve fluency & confidence
- Relaxed, motivating 1-on-1 sessions tailored to your goals
- Exam or interview preparation (A1–B1, travel, work, daily life)
- Personalized lessons based on your strengths and weak points

Whether you want to:
- speak more freely and sound natural
- prepare for an exam or interview
- improve pronunciation and listening
- refresh grammar through conversation

I’ll adapt the lessons entirely to you.

How my lessons work

We focus mainly on speaking and listening, supported by:

- vocabulary expansion
- pronunciation & accent training
- practical grammar (explained simply)
- reading & writing when useful

I provide engaging materials such as slides, images, short videos, music, games, and real-life texts - no boring worksheets.

Homework is optional and adapted to your schedule. If you’re busy, we keep it light and practical.

I’ve also been a student on Apprentus myself, so I know what makes lessons effective, enjoyable, and worth your time.

📩 Feel free to reach out with any questions or specific goals - I’m happy to help you start speaking with confidence!

I help with homework and give remedial lessons for CO and College students in all subjects except German and mathematics. I am patient, attentive and pedagogue; I adapt my method to the person to whom I am giving a lesson, I look for personalized ways to give meaning to the subject matter that poses the problem. I travel to the student's home, I can also receive the student at my home or give the lesson by webcam.

During my years of schooling in the orientation cycle and at college in Geneva (2002-2009) I too encountered difficulties and worked a lot with coaches and coaches; that's how I "learned to learn", gained self-confidence and obtained my gymnasium certificate with distinctions. I then continued my studies until obtaining a Master's degree in Visual Art in Glasgow in 2018. After several years of training and work in the United Kingdom (Glasgow and London) I have been back in Geneva for more one year. In 2021-22 I was a substitute in various cycles and colleges in the Canton of Geneva, and today I want to focus on private lessons with students who need them.
