About Me

I am a native British English speaker and bring my experience and love of teaching English to motivated students and adults of all ages and abilities in Geneva. I have been an English language teacher to learners from all over the world and from all backgrounds, ages and abilities for 7 years both in the UK and abroad.

As a native speaker I can provide a deeper level of knowledge and application of English than many second language speakers, especially for phrasing and pronunciation work. Whether you are a complete beginner or an intermediate or advanced English speaker who is looking to improve or perfect your English skills for yourself, your studies, your job or your business, I can help you.

I will work to create classes based on your individual needs, learning style and existing abilities and provide lots of opportunities for learning and practice through speaking, writing, listening and reading. My experience and some of the latest studies and theories for learning a second language have shown, that making the content of lessons fun, relaxing, engaging and meaningful to learner's life and experience, makes for the most effective and memorable lessons. However, any materials or books you want to work on together for study, work or any other reason will also prove a valuable resource.

It's difficult, but it can be a lot of fun and very rewarding to learn a second language (as I am discovering with French!) so I do look forward to hearing from you and gettin' you going on better English.

Education

BA (Hons) in Planning Studies - Sheffield Hallam University (UK)

Cours de Français, Néerlandais, Anglais, Mathématiques, Histoire, Relations Internationales, Droit, Sciences et Géographie.
I am a Belgian (Flemish) and French student who has recently completed a Master's degree in International Law at the University of Amsterdam. I completed my Bachelor's degree in International Relations at the University of Geneva (magna cum laude) and also spent six months on exchange at UCSB (University of California, Santa Barbara). Additionally, I attended an international high school in France for my secondary education, where I specialized in sciences and achieved a score of 18/20 on the final scientific baccalaureate. The classes at this school were taught in French, english, dutch, and spanish. Here is an overview of my previous tutoring experience: 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 math 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, 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! Amélie

English for French speakers, advanced or beginner
English being a language used all over the world, mastering it seems more and more essential these days. Certain school methods do not work for everyone. Being bilingual, I offer courses that adapt to everyone's needs for more effective learning.
