Expert preparing First Certificate My students pass! Also beginners to upper intermediate

Preparing a Cambridge Exam ( PET, First or CAE) is an investment in time and money. My success in teaching for these exams relies on:
-Quickly seeing the students strong and weak points to build confidence
-Maximize their time by drilling the new information and from the beginning giving them priority to speaking
-I never hesitate to correct their pronunciation and grammar mistakes in a positive way
-The student soon feels they are improving
-We both enjoy the lesson and know that it hasn't been a waste of time

I have +10 year experience. Worked at the Université Populaire de Lausanne, Centre de Langues at EPFL, Gymnase de la Cité (Lausanne), Institut de Rosey (Rolle) and several private companies and banks in Lausanne.

I love my job and the students feel it.

Shirley
English and Japanese lesson, Support for English homework
I specialise in tutoring language classes. I have a Master's Degree in Teaching of English as a Second Language and currently pursuing my PhD in Science of Education. I have also lived in Japan for 6 years and I have learned Japanese for two years in the university. Therefore I can teach Japanese for daily conversations. Owing to the fact that I speak 7 languages, I believe I understand the joy and struggle of language learning, which makes a good partner to learn a new language.

Learning Swahili - Salutation example Hujambo -( Hello) Sijambo (Hello) - Beginner -intermediate - Advanced
Swahili is an essential language when working and visit African especially when working or doing studies. It offer access to the Swahili culture and other East Africa Culture. Is there any point to learn Swahili as a language? Yes! it is very important as far as African is concerned since it is the favorite suggested and endorsed by African Leaders to be the official language uniting African people and culture soon. Swahili is a total language (its name is literally from the word for "coastal" in Arabic), and so it's best spoken in the coastal regions of both Kenya and Tanzania, where it's not only the lingua franca, but the mother tongue of the Swahili people themselves. Swahili commonly known as "Kiswahili " has the potential to forge strong trading ties between the people of eastern, central and Southern Africa and to promote cultural cohesion. If widely promoted in these regions, the language can single-handedly remove the artificial barriers and boundaries imposed by imperial powers.
