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.

As an experienced teacher, having studied at the University of Nottingham, I am enthusiastic about helping anyone who wants to learn or improve their English by having fun reading and speaking.

The objective of this course is to offer a pleasant environment to anyone wishing to learn or improve their English, in order to allow them to gain confidence in themselves. We seek to create an atmosphere where the learner will enjoy coming back and seeing the progress made.

Thanks to my experience in teaching and support classes, I appreciate the contact with the students, especially when they smile as they regain their self-confidence and feel capable of progressing.

It is a privilege for me to experience these moments that allow learners to open up, express themselves and discover new perspectives.

Are you looking for a qualified English teacher from England? You have the possibility to improve your English while being supervised by your teacher. You can work on your grammar, writing, speaking and pronunciation. Are you desperate to pass your exams, prepare yourself for an interview or correct an essay? Or do you want to go to an English school or follow an English programme? The teacher is open to your requests.
Maybe you want to share your English lesson with some of your friends? It is possible to form a group at a reduced price, tell me with whom you would like to form a group. ;-) If not, the lessons are also individualised (private).

All levels are welcome (beginners to university students)! The teacher will be happy to receive you. Lessons can also be delivered online, students even learn better when lessons are given via Skype (the teacher takes notes for you online), technology is so cool! :-)

Do you have a question? Don't worry, the teacher will be happy to answer you. Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

Hello, my name is Andrés and I'm a Master student based in the Grand Geneva area. I have been teaching children English, Spanish & German for the last years.

I believe that children absorb the most out of a language when they are in constant contact with somebody that masters it and when they learn it through play.

I will ensure that your kids feel reassured by empowering them to co-create and learn from each other, embracing a motivation spirit, ensuring effective communication and making sure all diverse voices are being heard and taken into account.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Looking to pick up a new language? Or maybe you've watched The Crown and want to speak like the Queen of England? Look no further! As a native speaker of English - and fluent speaker of Spanish and French - I can put myself in your shoes and help you chat, read and sound like a Brit, only using the best and most natural sounding language. What’s more, I have a wealth of experience teaching English in France and Argentina, can accommodate all levels of English and will tailor my lessons based on your specific needs and interests. The best part: as a Specialised Translation Masters student at UniGe, I’m always around Uni-Mail and Champel, meaning I can come to you, we can meet in the middle or we can hop on a Zoom call! The choice is yours. Now that you’ve found your teacher, the only question is...when would you like to get started?

Send me a message with any questions or queries and I’ll get back to you ASAP!

Best wishes,

Nicolas

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 :)

I offer Spanish courses adapted to both children and adults, with a specific teaching approach for each group.

For kids :
Learning takes place through a fun, interactive method adapted to their age, using games, songs, stories, and creative activities. The goal is to develop comprehension, pronunciation, and basic vocabulary while building confidence and a love of learning.

For adults:
The courses focus on practical conversation, real-life communication, and dynamic exercises that allow for rapid progress in both speaking and writing. Each session is personalized to the learner's personal, professional, or travel needs.

I have over five years of experience teaching Spanish and English, as well as extensive experience working with children in educational and healthcare settings. My approach emphasizes confidence, rapid progress, and a caring and motivating environment.

Objective: to enable each student to communicate in Spanish with ease, pleasure and efficiency.
