English Literature (specifically International Bacc (IB) Higher Level)

From 93 C$ /h

Like any other language, one cannot simply excel by covering the written aspects such as grammar; practice in linguistics will be what really rounds off your level of both speaking and writing. I offer both understanding and explaining grammatical, prose, and poetry of the IB English course, as well as preparing various topics to discuss in order to expand your vocabulary and fluency when speaking, writing and doing the exams.

About Me

Hello! I'm Farah and I have attended and graduated from the International School of Geneva. I took Chemistry, Biology and English Literature Higher Level in the IB, therefore I have experience and understanding in how to help other students succeed in this subject!

I have studied at the university of Geneva in Geology, and am currently pursuing photography as a career, and therefore would still like to contribute my knowledge in helping students in Chemistry or English writing.

English Conversation classes/Vocabulary building/English writing

93 C$ /h

A language that is learned fast once spoken, English is one that requires a development of one's vocabulary. I believe the fastest way to get a feel for a language is to speak it, in a natural flow of conversation. I propose weekly classes of various different topics, about what is happening in the world, new films movies, culture, etc. whatever we choose to discuss in order to improve and correct your English.
Correction of texts and essay-planning is also possible !

Chemistry / Chemistry- High School Level, Higher and Standard IB

93 C$ /h

Chemistry is a very complex subject and can be problematic for highs if there is a basic deficiency. I can help you with your questions, your homework, projects at schools etc. At this time I have chemistry courses at the university, so I have different approaches to understand, and teach this subject.

Version française: I have also completed the International Baccalaureate with Higher Level Chemistry. Currently I have classes of University-level chemistry, so I have different approaches to understanding, and teaching this interesting, but complex subject.

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!

The form of the lessons adapts to the specific requests, needs and problems of the student.

It may include one or more of the following:
- help with homework
- proofreading/corrections of written work
- revisions for exams, essays, courses
- help with presentations, talks etc.
- learning English through exercises and/or conversations

I also generally help with:
- organization of a work / review plan, with creation of a calendar, division of labor etc.
- memorization: different techniques and advice
- the methodology: how to be efficient in your work and in your reading, how to take good notes etc.
- concentration and stress management
- general advice

My studies at university allow me to have access to rare and useful resources for learning English, which can enrich the courses. They also helped me to be more efficient in researching and citing useful sources for courses, dissertations, presentations etc.

Lessons can be given at the student's home, in a municipal library, in a UNIGE building, or by webcam (for example via Jitsi, which is free, practical, and has always worked well with my students).

A qualified French as a foreign language teacher, I give French as a foreign language lessons level A1 to B2 to young people or adults, in particular, at the student's home, or outside.

I also provide academic support to primary and secondary I students in French, math, German, English.

Since 2001 until today, I have given Fle lessons to adult classes from levels A1 to B2 and academic support privately and in various institutions aimed at social integration, in particular to students of multiple nationalities.

For teaching French as a Foreign Language (FLE), I use the CLE method as a common thread: 'progressive grammar', 'progressive communication', 'progressive vocabulary' as well as various educational resources on the internet as well as tools such as quizlet ; I add exercises taken either from 'Switzerland in play', or created according to the needs and requests of the student: games, newspaper articles, stories, songs, and willingly integrate texts which interest the student, but pose difficulties for him.

I love helping you and deepening your language skills and seeing your progress.

I adapt to your needs whether they are grammatical problems, vocabulary or British pronunciation.

This combined course allows you to learn Mandarin Chinese and English simultaneously, with a structured yet accessible approach.
Each session is structured around a practical theme (business, travel, culture, daily life) and allows you to acquire:
• parallel Chinese/English vocabulary
• Useful expressions for everyday communication
• essential cultural reference points
• an introduction to Chinese calligraphy (basics of writing and strokes)
• Measurable progress, tailored to your goals
• the possibility of customizing the course content according to your needs and interests (profession, travel preparation, conversation, etc.)

An ideal format for international professionals, mobile students or language enthusiasts who wish to progress in a practical, modern and cultural way.

My course begins by identifying the topics to be covered (first lesson: review of past exams/assignments, questions the student has, etc.). Then, we review any missing theory, and finally, we redo the exercises that are causing difficulty. Each subsequent lesson will start with one or two exercises from the previous session to check if the theory has been properly understood.

Mathematics: calculations, algebra, equations, geometry, trigonometry, logarithms and statistics

As a French-German and trilingual student (French and German as native languages – English CEC C1), I offer tutoring and homework help for students from primary to secondary I and II (approximately 10 to 20 years old).
I provide support in all subjects, although French and languages are my specialty.

Having already completed several years of tutoring, I have a great capacity for adaptation, and above all, we will build the pace of the tutoring together according to your needs. Furthermore, my experience as an older sister has taught me how to create a reassuring and motivating environment for learning and education.

Each session is fully personalized:
• Review and explanation of concepts not understood,
• adapted exercises,
• Preparation for tests, assessments and exams
• homework help,
• Methodological support (work organization, memorization, writing, autonomy).

I place particular importance on a caring approach to help each student progress, strengthen their skills and gain confidence!
