PROFESSOR French / English

Graduated with CELFLE / CELTA diploma, I have teaching experiences with adults also with children.

Whatever the level and situation of the student, I adapt to the needs, wishes, objectives while delivering my own expertise and approach in order to identify possible gaps and focus on points to work as a priority.

Serious, caring, motivated, involved, pedagogue and punctual, I am very involved in the success of each of my students to allow them to progress and am available to answer their questions or those of their parents even outside the hours of course. I offer a personalized pedagogical accompaniment and aims at transmitting effective and proven working methods. I also seek to empower and empower students, to give them the confidence they need, and to be demanding so that they succeed.

I have been teaching for more than 20 years in Geneva(Organizations/Group courses/Preparation for Delf etc..) at all levels and for the past years I have specialized in Survival modules and exam preparation for Fide exam( required for permit B/ C and citizenship) Usually I come to student's home and we have 1 or 2 lessons of 1h30 peer week depending on their needs and focus..As I am teaching between Geneva and Nyon, I am more in favor of meeting the students at their home.
Let me know if I could be of any help and then we could organize a meeting depending on your availabilities

I teach students, as well as adults who want to improve their English for professional reasons.
My experience over the past 10 years has allowed me to develop a simple and effective method that adapts to the needs of the student, taking into account their interests. This way, the student becomes seriously involved and progresses quickly.
My native ear allows me to have a real impact on the pronunciation and accent of the student, without ever neglecting the importance of learning to write. In addition, my experience as a translator allows me to teach the different nuances of the language in the most efficient way possible.

Looking to pick up a new language? Or maybe you've watched The Crown and want to speak like the Queen of England? Look no further! As a native speaker of English - and fluent speaker of Spanish and French - I can put myself in your shoes and help you chat, read and sound like a Brit, only using the best and most natural sounding language. What’s more, I have a wealth of experience teaching English in France and Argentina, can accommodate all levels of English and will tailor my lessons based on your specific needs and interests. The best part: as a Specialised Translation Masters student at UniGe, I’m always around Uni-Mail and Champel, meaning I can come to you, we can meet in the middle or we can hop on a Zoom call! The choice is yours. Now that you’ve found your teacher, the only question is...when would you like to get started?

Send me a message with any questions or queries and I’ll get back to you ASAP!

Best wishes,

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

Need to improve your English? As a teacher with 8 years of experience, I offer fully personalized support.

I have been using English since my teenage years through my many travels, a level I perfected during an extended stay in Canada. In 2018, I consolidated my teaching skills by obtaining the TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate.

Having gone through the entire process of learning this language myself, I fully understand the challenges and stages you're facing. This firsthand experience greatly helps me to better support you.

Here, there is no fixed program: my courses are custom-built to align with your objectives and precisely meet your needs.

The focus is on practical application and real-life scenarios to help you gain confidence and independence as quickly as possible. Grammar and vocabulary are naturally integrated as you progress.

This course is aimed at the following profiles:
- Beginners (basics, conversation, travel);
- Intermediate/advanced (improvement, exam preparation: TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC);
- Professionals (business English, interview preparation).

Feel free to contact me for more information.

Looking forward to assisting you :)

In my 60-minute classes, we say goodbye to boring textbook memorization and the frustrating feeling of "I understand it, but I can't speak it." Instead, I focus heavily on speaking, active listening, and building real confidence. I adapt my teaching style to exactly what your child needs. Whether your teenager needs serious preparation for the IB, SAT, or IELTS, or your younger child just needs to improve their conversational fluency by chatting about their favorite movies, science, or daily life, I tailor every single lesson to them.

I provide all the custom learning materials so you don't have to worry about a thing. I bring the energy, the exam expertise, and the patience to every session. If you're looking for a mentor who can help your child speak naturally, improve their grades, and build unshakeable confidence, I would love to meet you both for a first lesson to see if we're a great fit!

Why does learning a foreign language seem so difficult?

Often, it's not a question of talent, but of method. With concrete support tailored to your goals, speaking with ease and confidence becomes possible, and faster than you think.

My name is Rubén and I have two years of experience in private tutoring, during which I helped each student achieve specific goals. I have taught English to a child and helped a German student pass his Spanish exams, in addition to numerous other tutoring activities in Spain.

I have studied and worked in all the languages I speak and teach: Spanish, my native language, English at C1 level, German at B2 level and French at B2 level. I therefore know from the inside the difficulties one encounters when learning a language, and the tips for overcoming them.

I was able to put my method to the test both in exams and in the professional world, combining daily oral practice with preparation for official certifications.

Do you understand English but hesitate when it’s time to speak? Do you find yourself translating every sentence in your head or worrying about making mistakes?

My personalised English lessons help you build the skills and confidence to communicate more naturally—in everyday life, at work, and in social situations.

We work on what matters to you:

Speaking confidently and keeping conversations flowing
Understanding spoken English and expanding your vocabulary
Improving pronunciation, grammar, and sentence structure
Communicating at work, in interviews, or during presentations
Feeling more comfortable using English when travelling or living abroad

Each lesson is adapted to your level, interests, and goals. Through meaningful conversations, practical activities, and clear feedback, you’ll practise using English in situations you actually encounter.

As an English teacher and coach who has lived in London, Paris, Geneva, and Zurich, I understand how vulnerable communicating in another language can feel. My approach is warm, encouraging, and practical, with space to ask questions, make mistakes, and progress at your own pace.

You don’t need perfect English to have something worth saying. Let’s help you say it with confidence.

Book a lesson and tell me what you’d like English to make possible for you.

Speaking English when you're not a native speaker can be a little daunting.

Is my accent too strong? Does my vocabulary sound a bit like gibberish? And how do you even pronounce "gibberish"? What's that strange expression I heard?

Do you want to:
- interact better with your international colleagues and clients
- make yourself truly understood by locals when you go on holiday abroad
- chat comfortably with expats at the pub or gym
- feel more confident writing professional emails in English
- better understand American or British pop culture references?

For:
- complete beginners starting from scratch
- those who consider themselves beginners but just lack confidence
- intermediate levels
- advanced levels

I am trained in modern teaching methodologies, I design tailored lessons built around real-life communication rather than repetitive textbook drills.

I'm, Thomas, a 41 year old truly bilingual (Cambridge C2 certified) Geneva native who's been learning English since he was 6, and a few other languages since then (Italiano, Deutsch, 日本語 and ภาษาไทย). I've studied literature, education sciences and information sciences.

I love teaching, I have first-hand experience of how challenging and intimidating it can be to learn a new language, and a desire to build bridges with what you already know in YOUR language(s).

I use flexible methods tailored to your needs and learning preferences: I can teach you grammar to understand the structure of the language and/or engage you in fluent and natural conversations to improve your vocabulary, listening comprehension, and pronunciation.


I'd love to share all of that with you in a way that fits you specifically, so don't hesitate to shoot me a message if you want more info.

I'm focused on making learning fun but don't get it twisted: I'll take your progress to heart and work hard to that end.
