English lessons with an experienced teacher,
From 47.93 € /h
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 :)

About Me
Hello everyone :)
My name is Nicolas. I was born in Geneva and grew up there until I was 25. I went to college at Emilie-Gourd where I obtained my maturity (equivalent to Bach in France). After that I took a year off during which I went to Vancouver to improve my English.
I then did a Bachelor in Geography and Environment at the University of Geneva. For my 3rd year I did an exchange in São Paulo, where I learned Portuguese.
Once I finished my Bachelor, I decided to travel around the world, with no return date. I left in February 2018 for South East Asia and spent 7 months there. In Vietnam I volunteered as an English teacher. It was then that I discovered my passion for teaching! So I followed an online training to obtain the TEFL certificate (Teaching English as a Foreign Language).
In the meantime, I returned to Brazil where I spent 7 months working there as a French and English teacher.
Back in Geneva in April 2019 I gave French lessons to more than twenty students in private, and I also worked as a substitute geography teacher in colleges.
I am now in Lausanne to do a Masters in geography at the University of Lausanne.
I offer much more than just a language course but a real exchange of culture and life experiences.
I am a very social person, calm, patient and communicative. I like challenges and new experiences.
My hobbies are skiing, kitesurfing, music, meditation and of course travel :)

My name is Nicolas, and I am a Brazilian Portuguese teacher with eight years of teaching experience. I have been speaking Portuguese for about ten years now. I learned the language while living in Brazil for several long periods, both for study and work. I am currently living there again.
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 a lot.
My lessons are tailor-made to achieve personal goals and are adapted to the specific needs of each student.
Practice is prioritized throughout the learning process in order to gain autonomy as quickly as possible. Grammar is also covered, depending on the student's level.
This course is aimed at:
- Beginners (basics, conversation, travel);
- Intermediate/advanced learners (improvement, exam preparation);
- Professionals (business Portuguese, interview preparation).
Currently based in Brazil, I am teaching my classes online. I will be back in Geneva in mid-December for in-person classes.
Please don't hesitate to contact me for more information.
Looking forward to hearing from you :)
