I am a CELTA (Cambridge English Language Teaching for Adults) certified English instructor based in Geneva. I have been working with business clients to improve their language and communication skills for the past five years in both professional and personal settings. I also have a background in journalism and communications which offer me the opportunity to edit to a high standard.

I can help you:

- Improve your speaking confidence and fluency
- Job coach from CV/Cover letter writing to interview skills
- Communicate more effectively and efficiently with colleagues and clients in both business and social settings
- Practice and refine presentations, proposals, and any other written or spoken communication
- Help you prepare for and pass exams (including Cambridge exams, IELTS, etc.)
- Become comfortable understanding and working in both UK or US English (I am American but studied and worked in London for 4 years)

I am happy traveling to your office or the most convenient place for you. I completely understand the pressures of work commitments and travel, and am therefore happy to offer flexibility in our lesson schedule.

About Me
A little about me...

I was born and raised near Buffalo, New York before graduating from the University of Missouri with a Bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism. After that I spent 4 years in London, UK where I received an MA from LCF (the University of Arts London). I’ve been living in Geneva now for about 5 years with my husband and beautiful little rescue dog, Chloé. I can usually be found swimming in the lake, walking in the mountains, cooking (and eating!), traveling and trying very very hard to speak French. I look forward to working with you!

Best, Shannon

I am a Belgian (Flemish) and French student with a Masters in International Public Law (Amsterdam) and a Masters in Global development (University of Copenhagen). World traveler, I have lived in Thailand, Denmark, Greece, the Netherlands, US, Switzerland and many more countries, where I both dtudies and worked as a legal advisor.

I have been tutoring since 2017, both in person, in schools and online, since 2017, I have been working with around 250 students, located everywhere in the world! Here is an overview of my previous tutoring experience:

2022-Now:
Online tutoring on Apprentus, (approx 12h/week).

2023:
Tutor of Dutch at Varady Language school in Geneva

2021-2022:
I worked at "bijlesthuis," a Dutch tutoring institution, where I primarily taught French, Dutch, and English to adult learners seeking to improve their language skills. During the same period, I also provided classes to other students through Apprentus.

2021:
Through Apprentus and other websites, I assisted several younger students (ages 5-15) in Bern and Geneva, helping them improve their skills in subjects such as Maths and French.

2017-2020:
I worked for three years at a tutoring institution in Geneva called ARA, where I primarily taught French, Mathematics, and English.

During this time, I also spent two years working at a private school called Florimont, where I supported students aged 11-16 across various subjects by assisting them with their homework.

I can teach French, Dutch, and English, Spanish and in German, and I thoroughly enjoy teaching and assisting students in their progress and acquisition of new skills.

As a person, I am flexible, calm, and positive.

I am excited to meet you and look forward to working with you!
