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!

The technology to improve your French. Classes with a certified native teacher.

Hello Bonjour!
I am a native French teacher and a graduate in French Philology since 2012. I have 10 years of experience in Belgium and abroad. I offer online classes using a method that I have developed over the years, specifically for online classes.

*My method:*
-During class we focus on speaking. Outside of class, I will send you exercises that I will correct every week (grammar, conjugation, writing...).
-I use a particular technique based on questions/answers to apply the grammar when speaking.
-I use the verbotonal method to correct pronunciation.
-You will also receive access to an application for your Smartphone (to learn the vocabulary).
-Use an interactive whiteboard.
-We will use a shared online notebook to correct your exercises and ask me your questions at any time of the day.

I offer preparation for official exams (DELF, DALF, TCF, EOI, FIDE in Switzerland...). Classes for beginners, intermediate or advanced levels. Preparation of conferences or talks for business people. Job interviews.

The class is a bit different when I work with children or teenagers. I use interactive websites and letters.

If you want a young, organized, dynamic and passionate teacher, call me or write me!

See you soon,
Laurie*

I am a physicist and PhD researcher at the University of Geneva, with several years of experience teaching physics at university level and providing private tutoring in physics, mathematics and chemistry.

My academic background includes degrees in Physics and Solid-State Physics, as well as a background in Industrial Chemistry. This allows me to teach science subjects from secondary-school level up to university courses, while adapting the level of explanation to each student.

I can help with:

* Physics: mechanics, electricity and magnetism, waves, optics, thermodynamics, modern physics and introductory quantum physics
* Mathematics: algebra, functions, calculus, trigonometry, vectors and problem solving
* Chemistry: general chemistry, physical chemistry and introductory university chemistry
* IB, Maturité and international-school programmes
* University physics and mathematics courses
* Exam and mock-exam preparation
* Revision of previous-year material
* Homework, exercises and problem-solving techniques

My approach is based on understanding rather than memorisation. I first identify where the difficulty comes from, then rebuild the relevant concepts step by step before applying them to exercises and exam-style problems.

Because I also teach university students, I place particular emphasis on developing a clear method: how to interpret a problem, identify the relevant physical principles, organise a calculation and check whether the final result makes sense.

Lessons can be adapted either for students who are struggling and need to rebuild their foundations, or for stronger students preparing for demanding exams and advanced courses.

I teach in English, French and Italian.

Online lessons and in-person lessons in the Geneva area are available.

I am Mavi, a physics engineer working at an aerospace company.
I have been teaching private lessons at the primary, secondary, high school, and university preparatory levels for 11 years. I teach mathematics, physics, chemistry, and science. I have a good command of the curricula of IB, IGCSE, American, Hong Kong, and international schools.

Additionally, I hold the position of president at the Astronomy Society, where I foster my students' interest in astronomy and science beyond the lessons. I prepare the learning environment by incorporating experiments and exploration, moving away from rote education. I often bring experimental materials to class, aiming to make learning memorable through hands-on experiments.

As an educational mentor, I approach my students as if they were my siblings, valuing creativity. I have a deep passion for mathematics, physics, and science. I am dedicated to helping students understand and learn because life encompasses both SCIENCE and ART. The more people I can inspire to know, understand, and love mathematics, physics, and chemistry, the more proud I am.

Are you curious about how nature works?

Let's explore together!

I will take note of the student's difficulties in the subject, more precisely on the subject and will issue an action plan so that he or she can better understand it.

I could thus help the student with his/her homework, prepare him/her for his/her exams, and understand his/her subjects.

I will do everything necessary and what is in my power for the success of the students who ask me and for them to be focused in their year.

For any student from primary school to the last year of the orientation cycle.

I support primary and secondary school students in all main subjects: French, mathematics, history-geography, science and English.

My method is structured in three stages: precise identification of gaps in knowledge, creation of personalized summary sheets, and then validation through targeted exercises and mock exams. The goal is for the student to leave with a study method they can use independently, not just answers for the next assignment.

I adapt to each student's pace and personality. Some need to review the basics, others need to gain confidence. I always start from where the student is.

In-person classes in Geneva or via video conference.

From "I don't understand anything" to "ahhh, I understand everything!" Secondary I and II Maths with a teacher with a degree in applied mathematics.
Math revision is really different compared to other subjects. So we'll use a good method to revise it. We'll start our lesson with the topic you're having trouble with. If I notice any other problems during the lesson, I'll cover those as well. Don't worry, you'll see how math becomes easier than before. Let's go!
