Von 43.08 $ /Std

I am a native English speaker from the UK and experienced trainer based in Geneva, Switzerland, ready to support you in your learning goals. With a varied career in public and private sector and having lived all round the world, I can adapt to your needs and ways of learning. I studied Latin and Ancient Greek at Oxford University so love explaining grammar and language structure, but only if it's useful for you!

I can also support specific goals such as preparation for exams, business English and business writing.

Stepdad to a 7 year old who already speaks many more languages than me! I also speak French to B2 level.

Raised in the South of England, I now live in Switzerland with my family. I've worked in a variety of sectors including the UK military, finance and international development and have designed and delivered a range of curricula.

As an experienced teacher, having studied at the University of Nottingham, I am enthusiastic about helping anyone who wants to learn or improve their English by having fun reading and speaking.

The objective of this course is to offer a pleasant environment to anyone wishing to learn or improve their English, in order to allow them to gain confidence in themselves. We seek to create an atmosphere where the learner will enjoy coming back and seeing the progress made.

Thanks to my experience in teaching and support classes, I appreciate the contact with the students, especially when they smile as they regain their self-confidence and feel capable of progressing.

It is a privilege for me to experience these moments that allow learners to open up, express themselves and discover new perspectives.

This course allows for fun learning adapted to the student's level.
It also allows support, refresher training or simply help with homework. In addition, the lesson touches different aspects of learning and stimulates writing, reading, speaking and creativity, so that the language is learned in a pleasant way.

Graduated from a CELTA (Cambridge Certificate) and a Master in English and German (International Trade specialty), I offer private English lessons for children and adults, and tutoring for primary and secondary students I and II.

I worked for 20 years in the field of Marketing and Communication, in Paris, London and Geneva.

I lived for 5 years in London and am bilingual in English / French.

My passions are teaching and traveling.

My teaching method adapts to your needs. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced level, we can determine your teaching program together.

The method can be structured with grammar and syntax courses, if you want to progress in writing.

If you want conversation classes, the method can be more fluid with themes chosen together and pronunciation exercises.

I teach the following types of courses:

- Classical tutoring classes to improve your grades.

- preparation courses for exams.

- Business-oriented language courses (job interview, CV, business dialogue, writing letters and e-mails).

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 offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

My course begins by identifying the topics to be covered (first lesson: review of past exams/assignments, questions the student has, etc.). Then, we review any missing theory, and finally, we redo the exercises that are causing difficulty. Each subsequent lesson will start with one or two exercises from the previous session to check if the theory has been properly understood.

Mathematics: calculations, algebra, equations, geometry, trigonometry, logarithms and statistics
