Learn English as a Second Language or improve it for School!

From 82.15 C$ /h

Education should be a complete support system, not just an isolated lesson. I design learning that bridges the gaps between school, home, and independent study — giving students structure, resources, and time-planning strategies to keep them moving forward.

Lessons are tailored to individual needs, with space for questions, mistakes, and exploration. Whether it’s guiding a student through a challenging text or refining their exam technique, my goal is to make progress feel achievable and rewarding.

About Me

My name is Naiya, and I currently live in Switzerland with my partner — and more books than I can count! Learning and teaching have always been passions of mine, but after graduating, I wasn’t sure what career path to take. I love drawing, knitting, creating playlists, and, of course, reading — but I couldn’t see how these could lead to a career that made a real difference. So, I returned to my first passion: learning.

I began tutoring alongside my studies and quickly discovered a skill for helping students build confidence and develop their English skills. After earning my BA in English Literature and Creative Writing, I decided to build a career that not only improves grades but inspires a genuine eagerness to learn.

Alongside tutoring, I work as an exam content writer, creating practice questions and extracts which keeps me up-to-date with exam expectations and gives my students an extra advantage. I’m DBS certified, safeguarding trained, and TEFL qualified. Above all, I’m committed to creating a safe, encouraging environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and proud of their progress.

Having worked as a teaching assistant and a tutor I specialise in tutoring maths and english for 4 - 19 year olds. I specialise in assisting in homework and helping students to advance in their class, rather than learning from scratch. I have helped students prepare for the 11 plus exams, GCSEs, A Levels, and Oxford / Cambridge entry interviews.

I have a BA Hons in English from Cambridge University, an MSc in Social Science and Public Policy from King's College London, and have worked as a Research Assistant at the University of Basel for the past year. I also have A* English, A* Maths, A Art, and A French at A Level.

I have also worked as a youth worker for three years, and have a good rapport with my students. I am happy to discuss personalised goals and work levels, including homework amounts and covering additional subjects. Please get in touch if you want to chat!

I offer private tutoring lessons in French using interactive approaches and methods adapted to each student.

During the lessons you will be able to practice your reading, speaking and writing skills. I will also introduce you to the francophone culture, including literature.

I grew up in Geneva and I am currently a PhD student at ETHZ. The lessons I am offering are suitable for any level - from beginners to advanced students - both for secondary school and University students.

One of my priority will be to help you reach constantly new objectives while enjoying learning.

I hope to hear from you soon!

I am an experienced and certified mathematics tutor specializing in a range of curriculums, including AS and A-Levels, IGCSE, GCSE, SATs, Edexcel, and the International Baccalaureate (IB). With a proven track record of guiding students to success in these rigorous exams, I understand the unique challenges each curriculum presents. My approach is designed to meet each student's individual needs and learning style, ensuring that they receive the tailored support necessary to excel.

Mathematics can often seem daunting, but my goal is to help students build a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. I believe that a solid foundation in the basics is crucial, and I work to ensure that students grasp fundamental principles before moving on to more complex topics.

I utilize a variety of teaching methods, from visual aids to interactive exercises, to cater to different learning styles and make the subject more relatable.

In my sessions, I focus on developing effective problem-solving strategies. I guide students through step-by-step processes for tackling various types of mathematical problems, helping them to analyze questions critically and approach solutions systematically. This analytical skill is invaluable, not just for exams, but for future academic pursuits and real-world applications. I encourage students to ask questions and engage in discussions, as this fosters a deeper understanding of the material.

I also recognize that exam preparation involves more than just understanding the content; it requires familiarity with the exam format and types of questions they will encounter. I provide targeted practice using past papers and mock exams, which allows students to hone their test-taking skills and time management. This practice is essential for building the resilience and confidence needed to perform well under exam conditions.

Whether you're looking for support with fundamental concepts or advanced topics, I am here to provide clear explanations and structured guidance. My lessons are designed to be engaging and interactive, ensuring that students remain motivated and focused. I believe that learning should be a positive experience, and I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable expressing their concerns and challenges.

I take immense pride in their accomplishments, and my dedication to their success is unwavering.

In addition to my expertise in mathematics, I emphasize the importance of a growth mindset. I encourage students to view challenges as opportunities for learning and growth. This perspective not only helps them in their studies but also equips them with resilience that will serve them well in all areas of life.

If you're looking for expert tutoring that delivers outstanding results, I invite you to book a lesson today. Together, we can embark on a journey toward academic excellence in mathematics.

Si offrono lezioni di Italiano personalizzate, in base alle esigenze e alle preferenze dell'allievo.
Mi rendo disponibile sia a chi vuole cominciare a scoprire questa lingua, sia a chi possiede già un buon livello di conoscenza dell'Italiano e desidera perfezionarlo.
E' importante poter comunicare sin da subito in Italiano, indipendentemente dal livello di conoscenza da cui si comincia; proprio per questo le lezioni sono principalmente in Italiano e pongono particolare attenzione al lessico.
Le mie lezioni si rivolgono inoltre a chi sta scrivendo "papers" (tesi di laurea, testi universitari, conferenze, articoli, mail di lavoro) e ha bisogno di correzioni, feedback o di un commento.
Per chi conosce bene l'Italiano e desiderasse studiare o approfondire un particolare autore o un testo letterario, sono disponibile per analisi, letture e lezioni specifiche sul tema richiesto.

I am offering personalized Italian lessons, based on the needs and preferences of the student.
I am available both to those who want to start discovering this language and to those who already have a good level of knowledge of Italian and wish to master it.
It is important to be able to communicate right from the start in Italian, regardless of the level of knowledge you are beginning from; for this very reason, lessons are mainly in Italian and place particular emphasis on dialogue.
My lessons are also aimed at those who are writing “papers” (dissertations, university texts, conferences, articles, work emails) and need corrections, feedback or commentary.
For those who know Italian well and would like to study or explore a particular author or literary text, I am available for analysis, readings and specific lessons on the required topic.
