English tutoring – a personalized, clear, and motivating method

From 73 C$ /h

As a law student at Oxford University, I understand the importance of clear explanations, critical thinking, and self-confidence in learning. I offer private tutoring in English, mathematics, and humanities in a supportive, dynamic environment tailored to each student's needs, abilities, and goals.

My teaching method
I am convinced that effective learning relies first and foremost on a genuine understanding of concepts, rather than simply memorizing them. My lessons are interactive, encouraging, and adapted to each student's pace, with the aim of making difficult subjects more accessible and engaging.

I break down complex concepts into simple steps, use concrete examples, and encourage students to ask questions and develop their own reasoning.

My goal is not only to improve their academic results, but also to help them gain confidence, independence and a love of learning.

What sets me apart
I am currently a law student at New College, University of Oxford, where my studies require strong analytical, writing, and reasoning skills.

I also have an excellent level in mathematics, having achieved the maximum grade of A* in the GCSE Advanced Mathematics, an exam which I took a year early.

I combine academic rigor with a warm and accessible teaching approach. Aware that each student learns differently, I strive to create a reassuring environment where everyone feels free to ask questions, make mistakes, and progress at their own pace.

Extra information

Who are my courses for?
I offer private lessons to primary and secondary school students, particularly those following Swiss, British or international school programs, depending on the subject and level.

Whether it is regular support for homework, help in understanding difficult concepts, exam preparation or simply a need to regain self-confidence, I adapt my lessons to the objectives of each student.

Courses are available online or at home in the Geneva area, with flexible schedules and the possibility of organizing regular weekly sessions.

Typical course outline
Review: We begin by reviewing recent lessons, any difficulties encountered, and concepts already studied.

Explanation: I review or introduce essential concepts using clear explanations and examples adapted to the student's learning style.

Practical application: We work together on exercises, homework or exam questions, gradually encouraging autonomy.

About Me

Hello! I am currently a law student (BA Jurisprudence) at New College, University of Oxford, and I am passionate about making law accessible, challenging and enjoyable to study.

Having myself successfully navigated the highly selective admissions process at Oxford University, I know the importance of developing strong analytical skills, an independent critical mind, and clear, structured expression.

My studies at Oxford provided me with a solid foundation in several areas of law, including contract law, tort law, constitutional and administrative law, and legal philosophy. I also developed extensive experience in analyzing court decisions and constructing rigorous and persuasive legal arguments.

I adopt a caring, patient, and encouraging teaching approach, adapting each lesson to the student's level, interests, and objectives. I particularly enjoy helping students gain confidence, tackle complex legal issues, and express their ideas clearly.

I offer support for law studies, preparation for the LNAT (Law National Aptitude Test), law school admission interviews at Oxford, as well as the development of legal reasoning and argumentation.

Based in the Geneva area, I offer flexible courses online or in person.

Looking forward to accompanying you on your journey and helping you achieve your goals!

Education

International Baccalaureate (IB): 42/45 points – La Châtaigneraie, Ecolint. Law student (Jurisprudence) at the University of Oxford. Strong analytical, writing, and critical thinking skills.

Experience / Qualifications

I am currently a BA Jurisprudence (law) student at New College, University of Oxford, one of the most prestigious universities in the world.

My admission to Oxford allowed me to gain firsthand experience of the selection process, including the LNAT, admission interviews, and the academic requirements of top British universities.

During my studies, I developed solid knowledge in contract law, civil liability, constitutional and administrative law, European law and philosophy of law.

Oxford's teaching method, based on small group tutoring, extensive reading, and the regular writing of argumentative essays, enabled me to strengthen my skills in legal analysis, critical reasoning, research, and argumentation.

I therefore offer tailored support to law students and candidates wishing to enter a British university, particularly Oxford.

Perfectly fluent in English and also speaking French, I can support students in their preparation for law studies in English, while providing them with explanations in French if necessary.

My goal is to impart not only legal knowledge, but also the essential working and thinking methods needed to succeed in demanding studies.

I offer repetitive English and German lessons, according to your school program or simply by wanting to develop in these languages.
Having obtained my gymnasium maturity certificate in June 2020, I have an intermediate level B1 in these two languages with a small advance on English. I have vocabulary in both languages very favorable for improvement in the language we work.

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.

English is slowly but surely becoming an indispensable language to know. Many opportunities rely on an understanding and ability to speak English.

I speak English fluently and have experience in tutoring. I've studied higher-level English for many years and am passionate about English Language and English Literature. I can provide tutoring for younger children to build fluency and promote a bilingual childhood. I am also well-versed in the i/GCSE English curriculum. Of course, my services are available to anyone who would like to learn or improve their English, child or adult.

Looking forward to connecting!

I believe that having the opportunity to learn is something we should make the most of. As students, we do not always feel motivated to study, but learning and developing good working habits can open so many doors for the future. I would love to help children not only understand their subjects better, but also gain confidence, perseverance and, hopefully, a genuine interest in learning.

I am still a student myself, so I understand the difficulties and frustrations that can come with studying. I want my lessons to be adapted to each student, their needs and the way they learn best. I am flexible with the subjects and topics they would like to work on, and my goal is to create a positive environment where they feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and improving at their own pace.

For me, tutoring is not just about getting better grades, but about helping students realise that the effort they put in today can give them many more opportunities tomorrow.

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.
