English as a Second Language: Writing, Speaking, and Grammar Help

Von 58 Fr /Std

Improve Your English with a Native Speaker

These lessons are designed for students aged 12–18 or adults who want to gain confidence and improve their spoken and written English.

I offer personalized sessions based on each student’s needs — whether that means:

Strengthening what they’re already learning at school,

Getting extra help with grammar, vocabulary, or writing,

Or simply spending more time speaking English in a natural, relaxed way with a native speaker.

The goal is to help students feel more comfortable communicating in English, improve their accuracy, and develop a stronger sense of fluency and confidence.

Über mich

Native English speaker who enjoys helping others become more confident in their spoken and written English in order to help pursue interests which may require proficiency in English. I am originally from the US, but have been in Lausanne since 2019 pursuing my education. I am also fluent in French and I am happy to explain concepts in French to lessen the frustrations that can come from learning a new language.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

Moving to a new country can be quite a daunting and difficult change. While you can get by in most situations in English, in other situations, it simply does not suffice.

This class is for anyone looking to pick up French as a second language. The focus is to learn expressions and phrases, as well as pronunciation and how to speak without the dreaded 'foreigner' accent. From there we can build a foundation on which you can build.

Having first moved here 20 years ago, I have grown up in Switzerland, my early childhood was spent in Germany, meaning I can teach people whose mother tongue is either German or English. They say practice makes perfect, and that has certainly been the case for me. So that is what I will do with you, practice with you and guide you until perfect.

I make the difference by understanding that student success is also my responsibility as a tutor. This is why I put in an extra effort which exceeds conveying the knowledge about how a given math problem works. As a consequence my students enjoy our lessons on top of progressing academically.

I teach Math and German up to the last year of Secondary School. I work with teenagers and adults alike. You can rely on me in any situation, may it be an emergency or an exam where you first need to set up a plan, we can work it out together following my structured approach I developed by teaching over 1500 lessons.

My experience and a great sense for what my students need, make my classes effective and focused. I am very strong at motivating my students to achieve their goals, supporting and fostering a positive mindset towards any subject or task.

The learning of the English and German language is done in a proactive and stimulating way, learning via the active way with simulation and exercise in order to obtain optimal results after a more or less short period of learning, through the grammar and vocabulary in order to learn the real language used by the English and German populations.
Regarding chemistry lessons, learning through visualization with contextual settings and explanations accompanied by examples is necessary to fully understand. Teach the student to get into the habit of doing his exercises and to understand the statements so that he is able to do them alone.

I give lessons in 5 different languages, my goal being primarily to make people love the language, by giving varied, fun lessons adapted to each student. I take into account the needs and desires of the latter and prepare my lessons accordingly. I am very open-minded, I include writing, speaking, reading, games and exercises of all kinds in order to respect everyone's needs.
I am also always available to answer questions at any time!

Being currently at university in social and political science, giving support classes at the same time allows me to take a break from my classes and if I can do it while helping others, it is with great pleasure! I have been giving support classes to younger people since I started at the gym. I did it initially via the CVAJ. So I'm used to it, and I know how to structure my lessons with ease and give advice if necessary.

Hello everyone! I hold a CELTA teaching qualification in Spanish and a doctorate in Italian. I have been teaching Italian and Spanish for more than 5 years. I've been preparing students for the A-Levels and GCSE (language + literature). I can prepare you for specific examinations, language lessons in general or teach you Spanish for business. The lessons are for everyone, whatever their age or level (children to adults). I will make sure that you discover the Spanish culture through the lessons, learn the correct pronunciation and of course learn some grammar. I am open to your needs and can speak a few languages to make sure that you understand fully the lessons (of course, we’ll try to use mostly Spanish in all our lessons depending on your level).

I can’t wait to meet my new students! 😊

Hey, I am a 15 year old native from Austria. Since I am a native speaking German comes easy to me as well as writing textes and grammar ( I only got the best grades in German back in Austria). Because my French isn’t that good I could only teach in German or English. Best regards :)

Hello,
My name is Linnea, I am 21 years old and I am currently in my third year of a bachelor's degree in environmental science and engineering at EPFL.
I would be delighted to support you/your child in mathematics and science as well as in English and/or German. During my first year at EPFL, I was able to thoroughly review all the basics of mathematics, which allowed me to consolidate my knowledge and learn to explain concepts clearly and simply.
A few words about me: I am an optimistic, active, and sociable student who enjoys spending time outdoors and being around people. I grew up in a bilingual family, which allows me to speak German and English at a native level, as well as French fluently.
I live in Lausanne and am available to teach in person or online, with flexible hours on weekdays and weekends.
I would be very happy to hear from you.
Regards,
Linnea
