** CORONAVIRUS UPDATE: Courses given online! **

I am a young doctor recently graduated in Human Medicine at the University of Geneva.

Being calm and patient in nature, I try to build trust with my students to create a more relaxed environment, conducive to exchange and therefore learning courses.

For me, the understanding of a course is mainly through a structured, imaged and especially personalized learning of different subjects to enable the student to sustainably integrate the key concepts that are useful to him.

This type of contact is very important to me and is the basis of my interest and desire to teach. I believe that academic success is, of course, through learning but above all through an educational approach that takes into account several psychosocial factors that can influence children's success through an impact on their self-esteem. In my sessions, I attach great importance to identifying these factors and valuing the efforts of my students so that they become aware of their abilities and gain self-confidence.

This course is for people of all ages and backgrounds who need tutoring or who wish to deepen their knowledge of biology / medicine.

Students and future medical students accepted for regular courses and exam preparation!

Do not hesitate to contact me, I will answer you with pleasure!

Practice leads to perfection

Unless you learned to speak French when you were a child, it is difficult when you don't speak it fluently to pass for a French speaker. However, this does not prevent you from learning to speak it correctly, because it is well known that a language spoken with a foreign accent is an asset of seduction! Although it may seem complicated, learning a new language is always fun and beneficial, so it is important to practice as much as possible and above all not to give up. Take every opportunity you are given to speak the language and listen to French as soon as possible. And remember: practice leads to perfection!

Experienced French teacher, specializing in demanding and tailored support.

I work with a limited number of students to ensure rigorous monitoring and rapid results. My work is aimed at motivated students who wish to progress significantly, particularly with regard to specific objectives (exams, level advancement, transition to the Swiss system).

Each support program begins with an in-depth assessment, then is structured around a structured approach: mastery of language, writing skills, methodology and development of thinking.

The sessions are intensive, personalized, and results-oriented.

Don't remain stuck with the language of Molière: let's learn to master it with rigor and confidence.

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:

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.

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.

It may include one or more of the following:

- learning English through exercises and/or conversations

I also generally help with:
