Find Your Voice in English — Personalised Lessons for Real-Life Confidence

From 85 C$ /h

Do you understand English but hesitate when it’s time to speak? Do you find yourself translating every sentence in your head or worrying about making mistakes?

My personalised English lessons help you build the skills and confidence to communicate more naturally—in everyday life, at work, and in social situations.

We work on what matters to you:

Speaking confidently and keeping conversations flowing
Understanding spoken English and expanding your vocabulary
Improving pronunciation, grammar, and sentence structure
Communicating at work, in interviews, or during presentations
Feeling more comfortable using English when travelling or living abroad

Each lesson is adapted to your level, interests, and goals. Through meaningful conversations, practical activities, and clear feedback, you’ll practise using English in situations you actually encounter.

As an English teacher and coach who has lived in London, Paris, Geneva, and Zurich, I understand how vulnerable communicating in another language can feel. My approach is warm, encouraging, and practical, with space to ask questions, make mistakes, and progress at your own pace.

You don’t need perfect English to have something worth saying. Let’s help you say it with confidence.

Book a lesson and tell me what you’d like English to make possible for you.

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.

I hold British and French nationalities and speak both languages (and Spanish). I am specialised in teaching French as a foreign language (literature and grammar). I am a very adaptable and enthusiastic person. I have a TEFLA certificate (for teaching English) and a CEFLE certificate (for teaching French). I have worked in different organisations, such as the Alliance Française (Cusco, Peru), ARA ( Geneva) and given private lessons to adults, adolescents and children. I am familiar with the Swiss and French education systems. I am very curious and like to discover new cultures and to share mine. I like to go to concerts and the opera. I have good language and teaching skills and can provide recommendations on request. Thanks Anastassja

Hello there, and welcome!

Regularly rated 5 STARS on Google Page and a creator of a well-loved community of learner violinists, my name is Cheryl, and I offer highly unique and very enjoyable lessons to anyone who wants to challenge themselves with the violin. Do not be fooled - it's a tough instrument to play well! With my guidance and a special interest in postural health, you will quickly learn the basics with some regular effort. I especially encourage students to meet with other students in order to get to know each other on a human level.

An alum of the ABRSM, Suzuki, American and European conservatory systems (Masters with Magna cum Laude), and relentlessly studying to become better and better every week, I filter through 'The Book' to find the most effective and efficient way for the individual learner. We will find out what sounds appeal to you, and teach your unique 'voice' to come out.

With a little technique and a LOT of good taste, there's no knowing where your violin can take you! Come yourself, or with a friend or even with your child, and explore the infinite depths of real music-making! (Pssst: It's never really what we expect in the beginning!)

Lessons can be carried out in English, Italian, French :) Just shoot me a message and we'll decide on the details together! Looking forward to finally meeting you in person.

I am a doctorate student with a master degree in English literature, including a specialization in new American studies from the university of Lausanne. I am experienced in helping with homework (all levels and subjects) and language class (French and English) from beginners to advanced. I offer personalized classes adapted to your needs in order to help you gain confidence, knowledge and to reach your different goals.

My studies allowed me to be in constant contact with non francophone people. I learned to adapt to each person's level and I am familiar with the difficulties that the French language presents for foreigners. In return, my own studies in English familiarized me with the difficulties of the English language.

I also offer help with the the redaction of any kind of written work (thesis, seminars, cv, letters) and to improve your oral skills (conversation to prepare oral exams, interviews, or upgrading).

I offer repetitive English and German lessons, according to your school program or simply by wanting to develop in these languages.
Having obtained my gymnasium maturity certificate in June 2020, I have an intermediate level B1 in these two languages with a small advance on English. I have vocabulary in both languages very favorable for improvement in the language we work.

I am a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I have been training and competing for 14 years and I want to share my passion with as many people as possible, since I truly believe in the value of the numerous benefits Brazilian jiu-jitsu has to offer, both on and off the mats for self-defense and self-improvement.

The focus of the class will depend on the skill level and experience of the student and what the student wishes to develop.

The class is open to men, women and children and will typically involve a warm-up/stretching, drills/technique and sparring.

I offer to train you in the comfort of your own home, if you have the space, or in an outdoor location such as a park near your location. I bring my personal training mats to your location.

I look forward to meeting you and sharing the mats with you!

I was originally born and raised in California, U.S.A. and am excited about the opportunity to continue teaching in Switzerland, where I am currently taking courses at the Geneva Graduate Institute. After completing a degree in International Relations and Social Anthropology at the University of St Andrews, I am confident in my ability to teach English for all levels. I have experience working as a teacher at my local preschool for a year, as well as a tutor for exchange students at my university. My class will focus on advancing dialogue and grammar to assist in the individuals assignments and personal goals.

Class Description: Specialist English Tuition (TYLEC Certified) | Ages 5–16
Elevate your child’s English with a TYLEC-qualified specialist dedicated to academic excellence and natural fluency. Unlike standard tutoring, my approach is built on certified methodology specifically designed for the cognitive development of children and teenagers.
A Tailored Pedagogical Approach:

• Skill Consolidation (Age 10+): I bridge the gap between "classroom English" and fluency. We focus on grammar precision, creative writing, and preparation for Cambridge Young Learners assessments to track measurable progress.
• Academic Mastery (Age 16+): I provide rigorous coaching for high-stakes milestones, including IB, IGCSE, and Maturité exams. We focus on advanced rhetoric, essay structure, and the critical analysis required for top-tier university entry.
Why My Methodology Works:
With a focus on the international community in Geneva, I provide a bridge between local school requirements and global standards. Every lesson is meticulously planned to match your child’s unique learning style, ensuring that English becomes an asset, not a burden.
