Latin – translation method, grammar and exam preparation

From 73 C$ /h

I offer Latin lessons tailored to the level and objectives of each student, with work focused on grammar, syntax and especially translation methods.

The goal is to help students understand the mechanics of the language, analyze sentences methodically, and gradually gain independence and confidence. We can work on difficulties encountered in class as well as preparing for homework, tests, and exams. Depending on individual needs, lessons can cover declensions, conjugations, syntax, grammatical analysis, translation, and reviewing texts studied in class.

I study literature and philosophy at university and have extensive experience in private tutoring. I adapt my teaching method to each student's pace and difficulties. Lessons can be one-off, to prepare for a specific exam, or regular to ensure long-term progress and support.

This course is intended for all those who feel in need to refresh their memory about the French language. I also propose courses of maintenance of level and catch-up for students in Latin of the cycle or the college on Geneva.
For French classes, it is aimed at both middle school and non-francophone students, everything is a matter of individual level.

Having been a teacher for over ten years in Geneva, I am passionate about my work and, more generally, about the French language.

I can help you with both language and literature; together we will find ways for you to progress. My goal is to give meaning to knowledge and to show that you can study French while having fun! I also hold a Master's degree in modern French, general history, and French teaching.

I offer weekly monitoring through an online platform, so you can measure your progress and practice outside of lessons. I like to offer several means of learning, from the most basic (doing exercises, copying sentences) to the most modern (playing small games, watching videos ...). It all depends on the student and their expectations.

It is quite possible for me to help with the writing / correction of work, to finish; I will not do them for you of course, but can provide you with the support and follow-up you need to make them happen. See you soon !

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

If you want to learn the secrets of French, its complicated spelling, its sometimes obscure grammar, the history of its vocabulary ... do Latin (and Greek!)!

Moreover, a Latin course is compulsory at the University when studying Romanesque diapers (French, Italian, Spanish, etc.), ancient history and archeology.

At the same time, you will discover the foundations of our civilization which has deep roots in Antiquity.

I taught Latin and Greek in secondary 1 (9 a.m. to 11 a.m.) and 2 in the cantons of Vaud and Geneva: I can help prepare for exams.

“We are only transmitters of knowledge”

I wish to bring to my students some of the enrichments that led me to the smooth and silky paths of literature and writing. From B. Fondane, through Homer, Giono, M. Solaar, Kafka, Kerouac, and Garcia Lorca.

I therefore offer writing workshops, which will allow you to deepen your knowledge of French by discovering authors that you might never have discovered.

It is therefore anything but a school course; the aim is to teach through a participatory and dynamic approach.

- study of texts
- theatrical reading
- composition of poems / songs
- writing short stories
- literary history
- art history

Open to 🇬🇧 🇪🇸 🇩🇪 with some knowledge of French

In this Spanish course, I'll help you improve your speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills.
Through conversations, podcasts, movies, and the occasional book, which I hope to recommend. Plus, of course, exercises we'll do together to help you fully understand them. Although I'll be there primarily to support you if you have questions or would like to review something specific.

The idea is to help you improve your Spanish, whether you've been learning it in class, have been studying it for a long time, or are just learning it for the first time.
If you are interested, write to me to find out your plan.
PS: My schedule is quite flexible.

Hello !
Are you an aspiring interpreter looking to learn consecutive singing or refine your technique? Do you want to train for a performance? You've come to the right place!
As a professional interpreter in Geneva, I offer my services to help you improve your skills.
I help you prepare for the conference interpreting diploma exams, so that you are ready and confident on the big day.
We will discuss the strategies to adopt depending on the type of discourse (real, educational, of varying difficulty, on all subjects), work on your presentation, tone, and of course on your expression in French, so that you can make the message your own in all circumstances.
Minimum level required: some basic note-taking skills are necessary for consecutive note-taking; we will develop your technique together if needed.
Languages offered: English to French, Spanish to French, and possibly French to English or Spanish (to practice technique rather than the language itself). Occasionally, you may be able to listen to me speaking from another language (B/C) into French (focusing solely on presentation and target language skills).
