My hourly rate reflects my professional skill set, formal credentials, extensive experience, and my status as a qualified educator, as well as the cost of living in Switzerland. That said, what matters most to me is ensuring that each student receives the support they need. I am open to discussing and adjusting my rates based on fair reasoning to make this possible.

I have been a dedicated IB English Language & Literature educator since 2014, and my expertise extends to serving as an IB External Examiner for IB English A Literature since July 2016. As of May 2023, I have advanced to the role of Team Leader, or Senior Examiner, overseeing the external assessment of Language and Literature components and guiding a team of ten junior examiners.

My passion for Education and Literature has been the cornerstone of my career for nearly a decade. My professional journey spans a diverse range of educational settings, including public and international private schools, as well as independent language institutions.

In addition to my extensive teaching experience, I hold an IB Diploma, a BA in English and Education, an MA in Education, and a Swiss-verified teaching certificate. These credentials underscore my commitment to excellence in education and my deep engagement with the field of literature.

I'm heading home. The purpose of this course is to be able to help people who have gaps in German and / or English.
Help with homework to help with what is difficult and difficult in German, English and French eventually.

My method is work, because work is the key to success. I work with the student on the vocabulary, the grammar etc. At the end of the course I give small exercises to make sure that the student understands !!

I arrange for a short summary of the course to the student & I give him homework at the end for the next class (if needed)

From beginners to advanced I provide a guiding hand through worlds' third most spoken language: English.
Depending on your needs we will focus on grammar, pronunciation, writing or speaking. As living in a foreign country myself I have come to realize in learning a new language, the best way to proceed is through dialoge. Expect an informal though serious interaction during lessons, as I will be rather a tutor than a teacher.

I specialise in teaching english and german for school and adult levels, with tailor-made lesson plans, as well as biology and chemistry to students up to high school level.

I use a holistic approach to languages, with listening, talking, reading and writing joined together with games and visual tools. Students are challenged and improvement is noticeable within two to four weeks depending on the lesson frequency!

I am a Belgian (Flemish) and French student with a Masters in International Public Law (Amsterdam) and a Masters in Global development (University of Copenhagen). World traveler, I have lived in Thailand, Denmark, Greece, the Netherlands, US, Switzerland and many more countries, where I both dtudies and worked as a legal advisor.

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.

As a person, I am flexible, calm, and positive.

I am excited to meet you and look forward to working with you!

Hi! Since obtaining my CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) diploma in summer 2020, I have been teaching English to learners of all ages, from beginner to advanced level (A1-C1). Lessons are tailored to the student's needs, whether it's improving conversational English, preparing for an exam, working on Business English and more.

In addition to my work as a teacher, I am a student of English language and literature at the University of Geneva. English is truly my passion, which is why I strive to transmit the love of this language to all my students.

A lesson typically lasts 60 minutes and can take place at the student's home, my home, or another convenient location (a cafe or at university, for example).

Do not hesitate to contact me for more information! I will be happy to answer you :)

This course really adapts to your current English skills and personal learning goals. It contains on a general review of grammar but with emphasis upon speaking and getting comfortable with the English language. Strong attention will be given to the development of composition and critical reading skills. Vocabulary development and outside reading will complement this course of study.
