Speaking English when you're not a native speaker can be a little daunting. Is my accent too strong? Does my vocabulary sound a bit like gibberish? And how do you even pronounce "gibberish"? What's that strange expression I heard? Do you want to: - interact better with your international colleagues and clients - make yourself truly understood by locals when you go on holiday abroad - chat comfortably with expats at the pub or gym - feel more confident writing professional emails in English - better understand American or British pop culture references? For: - complete beginners starting from scratch - those who consider themselves beginners but just lack confidence - intermediate levels - advanced levels I am trained in modern teaching methodologies, I design tailored lessons built around real-life communication rather than repetitive textbook drills. I'm, Thomas, a 41 year old truly bilingual (Cambridge C2 certified) Geneva native who's been learning English since he was 6, and a few other languages since then (Italiano, Deutsch, 日本語 and ภาษาไทย). I've studied literature, education sciences and information sciences. I love teaching, I have first-hand experience of how challenging and intimidating it can be to learn a new language, and a desire to build bridges with what you already know in YOUR language(s). I use flexible methods tailored to your needs and learning preferences: I can teach you grammar to understand the structure of the language and/or engage you in fluent and natural conversations to improve your vocabulary, listening comprehension, and pronunciation. I'd love to share all of that with you in a way that fits you specifically, so don't hesitate to shoot me a message if you want more info. I'm focused on making learning fun but don't get it twisted: I'll take your progress to heart and work hard to that end.

As a law student at Oxford University, I understand the importance of clear explanations, critical thinking, and self-confidence in learning. I offer private tutoring in English, mathematics, and humanities in a supportive, dynamic environment tailored to each student's needs, abilities, and goals. My teaching method I am convinced that effective learning relies first and foremost on a genuine understanding of concepts, rather than simply memorizing them. My lessons are interactive, encouraging, and adapted to each student's pace, with the aim of making difficult subjects more accessible and engaging. I break down complex concepts into simple steps, use concrete examples, and encourage students to ask questions and develop their own reasoning. My goal is not only to improve their academic results, but also to help them gain confidence, independence and a love of learning. What sets me apart I am currently a law student at New College, University of Oxford, where my studies require strong analytical, writing, and reasoning skills. I also have an excellent level in mathematics, having achieved the maximum grade of A* in the GCSE Advanced Mathematics, an exam which I took a year early. I combine academic rigor with a warm and accessible teaching approach. Aware that each student learns differently, I strive to create a reassuring environment where everyone feels free to ask questions, make mistakes, and progress at their own pace.

Why does learning a foreign language seem so difficult? Often, it's not a question of talent, but of method. With concrete support tailored to your goals, speaking with ease and confidence becomes possible, and faster than you think. My name is Rubén and I have two years of experience in private tutoring, during which I helped each student achieve specific goals. I have taught English to a child and helped a German student pass his Spanish exams, in addition to numerous other tutoring activities in Spain. I have studied and worked in all the languages I speak and teach: Spanish, my native language, English at C1 level, German at B2 level and French at B2 level. I therefore know from the inside the difficulties one encounters when learning a language, and the tips for overcoming them. I was able to put my method to the test both in exams and in the professional world, combining daily oral practice with preparation for official certifications.

In my 60-minute classes, we say goodbye to boring textbook memorization and the frustrating feeling of "I understand it, but I can't speak it." Instead, I focus heavily on speaking, active listening, and building real confidence. I adapt my teaching style to exactly what your child needs.

Hi! I’m a native English speaker and CELTA-qualified teacher, and I love helping people feel more comfortable and confident speaking English. Before moving back to Geneva, I worked with NGOs in Greece supporting refugees and asylum seekers. As part of my work, I taught English to people from many different backgrounds and levels, as well as managing community programmes and volunteers. I really enjoyed the teaching side of my work — especially getting to know people individually and seeing their confidence grow. That's why I prefer one-to-one lessons. I want our lessons to feel less like a traditional classroom and more like a relaxed conversation where you can practise, ask questions and learn at your own pace. We can focus on whatever is most useful for you. Maybe you understand English quite well but find it difficult to speak. Maybe you need English for work, want to prepare for an interview, or simply want to feel more confident having conversations with English speakers. Or perhaps you just want someone to practise with regularly. I'm friendly, patient and happy to adapt the lessons to you. Making mistakes is completely fine — that's how you learn! If you have a particular goal in mind, feel free to get in touch and tell me a little about what you'd like to improve.
