English as a Second Language (ESL) with a true FR/EN bilingual speaker (Cambridge C2 certified) | Flexible methods and guaranteed fun

From 62 C$ /h

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.

The German language is essential in Switzerland, that's why I teach in this branch. Seen for several years in Swiss-German, I am ready to enrich your vocabulary and especially grammar.
My goal is to strengthen the student without overburdening him, to facilitate him and to make him love this language.

Certified and experienced English teacher, I create lessons that suit your interests and together, we will achieve your goals!
Native from Geneva, I speak French fluently and I learned and developed my English while living in the United States, Canada, and Ireland. Later on, I completed my bachelor in Education at McGill University. Throughout my degree, I taught in different environments, from public primary school to private secondary and from Montreal to a Cree community.
In the past few years, I developed a wide portfolio of activities that will suit different levels and different learners. I am inspired by principles of alternative and critical pedagogies: defining the students' goals according to their needs, their learning style, and their cultural background, as well as creating a fair and supportive environment. With a pinch of technology, art, and games, I believe that language learning can be not only a precious professional skill but also a life experience.

See you in class!

General class for kids aged 4-12 to help with their homework and as I am a teenager myself I don't charge as much. I was in the Institut Internation de Lancy for 10 years and was top of my class and I want to pass down that knowledge, at the same time I would also like to be like an older sister for the younger.

English lessons for children, adolescents, adults.

The course can be structured around a particular project/need (exam, conversation, academic support, travel, professional project, etc.)

My method is focused on practice and understanding the logic of the language.

The subjects and lexical fields are chosen according to the needs of the student and the course is created to measure.

Learning English as a foreign language can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be!

After an aptitude test to determine your English level and highlight your strengths and weaknesses, I can provide tailored classes to help you improve in the four key skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and guide you through the complexities of grammar.

Having taught adults throughout my CELTA teacher training, and working as an English teacher with children, I am comfortable providing classes for all ages and adapt each lesson for the student's age and interest.

I look forward to seeing you in class!

This course is a homework help and introduction to English, specially designed for children up to 12 years old. My goal is to give them confidence in a fun and stress-free way.
We will work together on: Introduction (for the youngest children): Discovering the first words (colors, animals, numbers) through simple exchanges.
Homework help (for older students): Reviewing school exercises, revising vocabulary for assessments and practicing pronunciation.
Each session is designed to adapt to the child's pace and to give them a taste for learning a new language.
