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

Kind regards / Best regards
Sebastian

I am a doctorate student with a master degree in English literature, including a specialization in new American studies from the university of Lausanne. I am experienced in helping with homework (all levels and subjects) and language class (French and English) from beginners to advanced. I offer personalized classes adapted to your needs in order to help you gain confidence, knowledge and to reach your different goals.

My studies allowed me to be in constant contact with non francophone people. I learned to adapt to each person's level and I am familiar with the difficulties that the French language presents for foreigners. In return, my own studies in English familiarized me with the difficulties of the English language.

I also offer help with the the redaction of any kind of written work (thesis, seminars, cv, letters) and to improve your oral skills (conversation to prepare oral exams, interviews, or upgrading).

I help with homework and give remedial lessons for CO and College students in all subjects except German and mathematics. I am patient, attentive and pedagogue; I adapt my method to the person to whom I am giving a lesson, I look for personalized ways to give meaning to the subject matter that poses the problem. I travel to the student's home, I can also receive the student at my home or give the lesson by webcam.

During my years of schooling in the orientation cycle and at college in Geneva (2002-2009) I too encountered difficulties and worked a lot with coaches and coaches; that's how I "learned to learn", gained self-confidence and obtained my gymnasium certificate with distinctions. I then continued my studies until obtaining a Master's degree in Visual Art in Glasgow in 2018. After several years of training and work in the United Kingdom (Glasgow and London) I have been back in Geneva for more one year. In 2021-22 I was a substitute in various cycles and colleges in the Canton of Geneva, and today I want to focus on private lessons with students who need them.

I was originally born and raised in California, U.S.A. and am excited about the opportunity to continue teaching in Switzerland, where I am currently taking courses at the Geneva Graduate Institute. After completing a degree in International Relations and Social Anthropology at the University of St Andrews, I am confident in my ability to teach English for all levels. I have experience working as a teacher at my local preschool for a year, as well as a tutor for exchange students at my university. My class will focus on advancing dialogue and grammar to assist in the individuals assignments and personal goals. I am also comfortable working with students with learning disabilities, and I will make sure the student feels self-assured and positive about their efforts!

Having grown up in the UK (from three months to five and a half years) and speaking English daily, I am able to teach both correct and authentic English to adults and children alike. As a graduate of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Geneva, which has particularly high standards for fluency, I am also qualified to teach French, including grammar, conjugation, and vocabulary, to students up to the secondary level (Gymnasium) and to adults learning French as a foreign language (FLE). Finally, I can also teach History (all periods), which is one of my Bachelor's degree specializations along with Philosophy and my Master's degree field of study (Transnational History), regardless of the student's age.

Having completed a science-focused academic track (high school diploma), then transitioning to a general and artistic education (Master's degree), I offer tutoring for students from middle school through high school graduation. My expertise includes natural sciences, biology, geography, physics, French, history, and philosophy. Having spent a year in the United States, I am bilingual (C1 level) and can also teach English and/or English to help students develop fluency in both spoken and written English. I have previous experience as a contract teacher in France for general and artistic subjects (visual arts), and as a personal tutor (general subjects) in Virginia. I am adept at adapting to each student's needs while collaboratively defining the areas to be addressed and reinforced.

My approach is first and foremost to break down learning barriers affecting children and adults alike. I look for that "aha" moment that restores confidence, making grammar and speaking finally concrete and even engaging. For my IB students, we take things to the next level with intensive preparation, super-focused on exam criteria. I adapt to your specific needs, maintaining a strong academic standard and a positive energy that inspires progress.

For added flexibility, I can travel to your home or welcome you to my own workroom.

I was introduced to Chinese calligraphy from an early age through my family's long-standing tradition and cultural heritage. This foundation allowed me to develop a deep appreciation for Chinese calligraphy as both an art form and a reflection of Chinese culture, history, and philosophy.

For the past eight years, I have been teaching Chinese calligraphy in Switzerland to students ranging from 4 years old to adults, from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. My classes focus not only on handwriting techniques but also on cultivating an understanding of the rich cultural traditions behind the art.

I was introduced to Chinese calligraphy at a very young age thanks to the long tradition and cultural heritage of my family. This foundation allowed me to develop a deep admiration for Chinese calligraphy, both as an art form and as a reflection of Chinese culture, history, and philosophy.

For the past eight years, I have been teaching Chinese calligraphy in Switzerland to students ranging in age from four to adulthood, from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. My courses focus not only on writing techniques but also aim to develop an understanding of the rich cultural traditions that underpin this art.

得益于家族悠久的传统和文化遗产,我从小便接触中国书法。这一基础使我能够深领略中国书法作为一种艺术形式,以及作为中国文化、历史和哲学的体现所蕴含的深厚价值。

过去八年来,我在瑞士教授中国书法,学生年龄从4岁到成年人不等,来自多元的文化和语言背景。我的课程不仅注重书写技巧,更致力于培养学生对这门艺术背后丰富文化传统的理解。

English class for students.

I have taught English to middle school students (age 12-15). I explain things in easy and simple terms, step by step. When students do not understand, I approach from different perspectives until they understand. I emphasize students' strengths rather than pointing out their weaknesses, so that they can build their confidence. To approach their weakness, I give constructive advice on what they can work on to get better. I not only give general advice, but I also analyze students and give personalized advice. I am flexible with my teaching style. I can teach grammar based on a textbook, I can help practice speaking through daily based conversational practices, or any form of teaching suggested.
