The purpose of these courses is to improve your level of English or Italian. For beginners the goal will be to master the main expressions (oral and written), while for the intermediate / advanced level the objective will be to work on the points that cause you problems and improve your oral skills through different oral conversations. If you want to improve your writing skills I will give you mini essays to write, and after correcting them I will give you a detailed feedback. We will use feedback to organize the next lessons.

I am also available for Italian, French, German and European history courses at beginner / intermediate level.

I am a second year student of modern French and Japanese at the University of Geneva and I offer you my coaching services to provide tutoring for your child. My goal is to provide help to do the child's homework, teach him the lessons correctly and provide him with an additional learning method and exercises to facilitate his success.

I can also give lessons for beginners in these three areas after discussion.

I provide each week a progress report and the work done with my student in order to be as transparent and precise as possible and to facilitate communication. An interview between me and the parent (where the student if it is an adult) will be done in order to better prepare my work and get organized as well as possible.

I offer repetitive lessons to elementary and cycle students with learning difficulties.

I adapt easily to the level of the student and can offer different approaches. The student can ask me for homework or other to be able to improve.

I always travel since the children are the responsibility of their parents.

English is a very important language that can help you communicate with almost anyone.
It is therefore important to have at least basic notions in English.

Arabic is a very beautiful language, if you are passionate about languages, literature or just want to learn a beautiful new language, this course is for you.

History is an area that fascinates me personally, if you need help to better understand history, writing your papers and working methods, I am at your disposal.

• My teaching techniques and methods:

* Techniques used according to the profiles and needs of the students, as well as the planning courses: direct, indirect and interactive teaching.

- Direct teaching is defined by a deductive approach: first presentation of the rule illustrated by examples. Concepts of presentation, explicit teaching, independent exercises, demonstration, etc.
- Indirect teaching is characterized by an inductive approach: research, problem solving, discovery and decision-making lead to the acquisition of knowledge. Notions of reasoning, discussion, hypotheses, conclusions, help in developing thoughts and solving problems, curiosity, creativity, stimulation, learning process, observation, interpretation, synthesis, etc.
- Interactive teaching is supported by thoughtful discussion and sharing. Notions of debates, role-playing, cooperative learning, etc.

* The techniques implemented vary according to the profiles and aspirations of the students. Thus, the first lesson is entirely or partly dedicated to the framing of the student's needs and to the structuring of the course that he will follow over several weeks.

* In the context of homework help/tutoring, we move forward as the water progresses, according to the specific needs of the students. The resources mobilized are in particular the materials transmitted by the students' teachers, my own resources and methods (resulting from my years of study, my personal research, etc.), and any other available resources.

* As part of a thematic course, a schedule is ideally set in advance.


• Typical course of one of my courses:

* Exchange time of a few minutes to find out where the student is and of the "weather of emotions and fatigue" type to adjust the course if necessary
* Lesson time whose time is distributed differently between moments of explanations, exercises, exchanges, questions/answers, etc.
* Final discussion time of a few minutes to take stock of the session and plan what will be done in the next class.

• My specificities as a teacher:

* I am very attentive, very patient, able to value all work and progress. I love the transmission which is done in an original way thanks to my mixed profile nourished by the rigor and richness of higher education as well as the pragmatism of the business environment.

• Who are my courses aimed at (diploma, level, class, specificities, etc.)?

* All students from the 6th to the License looking for methodological advice and orientation assistance.
* All students between 6th and 12th for all subjects.

* 1st and Terminale students taking these subjects: Economics and Social Sciences, French, History, Sociology, Philosophy, languages (English and Spanish), Mathematics (Bac ES level).

* Higher education students up to License 2/3 level in these subjects: Economics, Sociology, History, Management, Financial Analysis, Business Strategy.

(!) I am only available via video conference at the moment. I am conducting my research abroad.
Hello,

My name is Ciryl, and I offer History and Geography study methods and knowledge courses for all levels. My goal is to provide genuine support by instilling a passion for history and geography—two humanities disciplines that are constantly evolving!

A Swiss national, I hold a Master's degree in Russia and Central Europe from the GSI (Global Studies Institute) at the University of Geneva. This multidisciplinary program focuses on geopolitics and contemporary history. I have had the opportunity to explore the Russian-speaking world through internships and field research (IFEAC, CEFRES).

I hold a Bachelor's degree in History and a Bachelor's degree in Geography and Planning. Active in several associations (University Disability Support Network, AFEV) and with extensive teaching experience, I find great pleasure in providing personalized support to enthusiastic learners.

I offer tutoring in History and Geography, with a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates sociology, international relations, and literature. The course content is tailored to the student's level, specializations, and needs. Having learned the scientific method, I am ready to expand my knowledge to specific regions and periods. The course is suitable for all levels: methodological support for university students; success in competitive exams (high school diploma, university entrance exams); knowledge acquisition; or simply exploring the intricacies of the past and its territories.

Feel free to let me know about your projects, needs or emergencies!
Regards,
Ciryl

Good morning ! I am currently a master's student in general history at the University of Geneva. My studies allowed me to acquire a solid base of knowledge and skills, both in writing and in research.
My knowledge of historical facts as well as Latin and ancient Greek will allow me, I hope, to be able to push the explanations given by the teachers in class and perhaps lift the veil on possible misunderstandings on the part of the students.

The objective is to support students in difficulty as well as those who would simply like to consolidate their knowledge. In both cases, I am keen to be able to make the disciplines that I teach a little more digestible and to arouse students' interest in history, literature and the arts, to show them that not everything is not just a matter of stupid and nasty cramming, and that understanding always takes precedence over rote.

It also seems essential to me to acquire a good sense of organization, which is the source of all effective and useful work. Therefore, if some students seem to be having difficulty with their homework and the organization of their lessons, I would be very happy to be able to help in this regard.

Looking forward to meeting you, by webcam or live!

History is an exciting subject that requires general knowledge and methodology in a school environment. Geography, on the other hand, calls upon territorial or economic knowledge, which complement each other wonderfully with History. I would be happy to teach them to your child or to familiarize him with these subjects to help him progress.
