    Learn English from a professional private tutor in Geneva
    Learn English from a professional! Followed by a two-year stay in England, I later earned a Master's degree in English Language Teaching . I am passionate about the English language and have over 15 years of experience teaching both children and adults at all levels in general and business English. As a dedicated and professional tutor, I focus on the individual needs of my students during lessons, primarily using the communicative language teaching method with an emphasis on real-world assignments and problem-solving. Whether you are a complete beginner or need assistance with academic tasks such as writing literary essays, I can help you achieve your goals efficiently.

    Spanish, Text analysis, thesis writing, projects.
    The Spanish course is very dynamic and creative, I teach you with current and modern pedagogies that will allow you to learn faster without getting bored and abandoning the objectives set. The most important thing is to speak correctly if you want to go out but if you want to study more deeply I teach you to analyze texts according to your interests.

    Homework Help (Maths, Science, French, English) for ages 4-12
    General class for kids aged 4-12 to help with their homework and as I am a teenager myself I don't charge as much. I was in the Institut Internation de Lancy for 10 years and was top of my class and I want to pass down that knowledge, at the same time I would also like to be like an older sister for the younger.

    English tutoring, Norwegian tutoring , Grammar, Communication skills
    I am a professional language teacher with 9 years of work experience. I can explain grammar easily or help you improve your communication skills. I assign homework and check it regularly. I usually am a demanding teacher and ask students to do their best.

    Corso di lingua italiana , e introduzione alla cultura italiana per i piú curiosi :)
    Ho studiato lettere a Pisa, ho due programmi diversi in base a quello che gli alunni prediligono. Un programma in cui faccio intensivamente grammatica , comprensione e parlato e un secondo corso dove faccio sempre grammatica , comprensione e parlato , ma allo stesso tempo introduco il modo di pensare in Italia , la musica , la poesia , il vero modo di sentire in italiano :)

    English language support course - mainly for beginners and intermediate-.
    This course is intended for beginners and intermediates requiring support, so mainly young students still at school and having difficulties, or adults wishing to improve their English - either with practice or by clarifying grammar points. The goal is to best help identify gaps and achieve student goals (eg, improve spoken / written English, have a better understanding of English grammar, better understand nuances, learn relevant vocabulary , etc.). The type of learning, the needs, the preferences, the interests and the difficulties will be taken into account in order to create a personalized program adapted to the student without overburdening him / her.

    Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any level
    Hello everyone! I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy. I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language. I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments. Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages. The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above). Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

    Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
    For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

    Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
    I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
