A partir de 72.9 $ /h

Hello!

My name is Leanna. I am a former Secondary English teacher from Seattle, Washington and have a Bachelors degree in English Language Arts from the University of Washington, and a Masters Degree in Curriculum Design and Instruction from the University of Colorado.

This class is to support learners in reading and writing in English. I specialize in reading instruction, especially for dense literary texts, themes, and literary devices, as well as creative writing, essay writing, and writers workshops overall.

I am here to help anyone to understand texts better, improve academic writing, or provide services for writing workshops as a creative writing space.

I have been tutoring since 2017, both in person, in schools and online, since 2017, I have been working with around 250 students, located everywhere in the world! Here is an overview of my previous tutoring experience:

2022-Now:
Online tutoring on Apprentus, (approx 12h/week).

2023:
Tutor of Dutch at Varady Language school in Geneva

2021-2022:
I worked at "bijlesthuis," a Dutch tutoring institution, where I primarily taught French, Dutch, and English to adult learners seeking to improve their language skills. During the same period, I also provided classes to other students through Apprentus.

2021:
Through Apprentus and other websites, I assisted several younger students (ages 5-15) in Bern and Geneva, helping them improve their skills in subjects such as Maths and French.

2017-2020:
I worked for three years at a tutoring institution in Geneva called ARA, where I primarily taught French, Mathematics, and English.

During this time, I also spent two years working at a private school called Florimont, where I supported students aged 11-16 across various subjects by assisting them with their homework.

I can teach French, Dutch, and English, Spanish and in German, and I thoroughly enjoy teaching and assisting students in their progress and acquisition of new skills.

Your age doesn't matter! I welcome everyone. If you have kids I can accompany them during play time to speak in the language as well. I also do accompaniment of adults to real life settings, brining the language to life. For example I can accompany you to the supermarket or the pharmacy etc and we speak in English or Spanish to bring your language learning to life. Languages open the door to opportunities.

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!

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,

Corentin

Learn the language of Shakespeare in a fun way. Read classics, play with colors, cross-reference different texts, films, or series, and above all, become an expert on grammar...

Here is the program that we will include with variations depending on the learning profile.

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 :)
