** 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!

➤ Learn French with a successful technique: the main objective is to acquire bases or improve your level in French (written & oral: pronunciation, comprehension, language construction, communication, conjugation, grammar & vocabulary). It is also to understand the cultural specificities of Switzerland & France.

➤ Whether it is for work or leisure, the classes are adjusted to the initial diagnosis and to your needs.

Hello,
Currently a medical student, however, I studied a year of German literature and linguistics and have a very good level (C1) in German. I am therefore willing to help students in high school to learn to love this sometimes ungrateful language!
I am also bilingual with English (my father was from the USA) and could help anyone to have the level they want. I am also well versed in Anglo-Saxon culture and could provide many references (films, books) to make learning more alive.
As for French, I obtained the maximum mark on the federal maturity exam and am able to help you with your analyzes, dissertations or learning the language with great efficiency.
Best regards and see you soon!

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!

To improve in a subject, you just need to know the rules and the rest becomes child's play. Having been a recent student, I adapt to the person and personalize my course. Pedagogy is the most important, so I try to make my course come alive!
I obtained a baccalaureate in Economics and Social Sciences (ES) with honors, a double bachelor's degree in History and Economics with honors and a master's degree in visual arts at HEAD.

This course is intended for students, from primary to mature.
Also for adults.

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!

A former journalist, I have been teaching French since 2022 to a diverse audience: young people from immigrant and refugee backgrounds, expats and multinational employees, and unemployed individuals needing to improve their skills. I favor an action-oriented approach and gamification.

Learning is not (just) memorizing grammar rules and word lists, but above all understanding and producing, if possible while having fun.
