About Me

I am a young Mexican singer living in Geneva. I am currently studying Master's in Pedagogy.
I have a Bachelor's in historical music. I perform and share my work and my voice whenever opportunities come.
I am searching for an income to support my studies.
I sing mostly baroque and classical music but I know as well traditional Mexican music and jazz.
I believe that everyone should try to sing because is something that connects the body, the mind, and the spirit and allows us to share beautiful sensations with music in a very honest way. Also, I believe that every voice can sing.
If you are interested in my work, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Great teacher who can easily explain you the concepts that you need to learn and make you feel comfortable! She looks professional, knowledgeable and experienced, despite being a young person! I really enjoyed my class with her!
I had my first lesson with Sofia! She's an amazing teacher. She took time to investigate what my goals were and created a very relaxed and positive atmosphere for the class. The exercises and explanations she gave me were also challenging but perfect for my level. I can't wait for the next class to come! :)
Sofia is an excellent teacher who listens very well. It's incredible what she was able to show me in an hour!

Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

Hello, I have been giving private lessons with a high success rate for many years. I have two children aged 9 and 15 who are in school in Switzerland and who I support, which keeps me up to date with the programme and teaching methods. I also studied in the French and American systems. Teaching is my passion and it is contagious: “Teachers who love teaching teach others to love learning.”

French pronunciation training effective and fast
Practice leads to perfection Unless you learned to speak French when you were a child, it is difficult when you don't speak it fluently to pass for a French speaker. However, this does not prevent you from learning to speak it correctly, because it is well known that a language spoken with a foreign accent is an asset of seduction! Although it may seem complicated, learning a new language is always fun and beneficial, so it is important to practice as much as possible and above all not to give up. Take every opportunity you are given to speak the language and listen to French as soon as possible. And remember: practice leads to perfection!

🇪🇸 Personalized and private Spanish classes, in person or online at all levels.
Hola a todos! I'm Evelyn, a native Spanish speaker from Peru, currently living in Geneva while pursuing my master's degree. Teaching languages is my passion, and I have extensive experience teaching Spanish to students of all ages and levels. My teaching approach is fully customized to meet each student's needs and objectives. I incorporate a variety of materials—books, videos, songs, games, and practical exercises—to make learning enjoyable and effective. Classes start in English for clarity, but we quickly transition to a conversational Spanish environment, helping you immerse in the language and accelerate your progress. Each student receives a personalized plan, which they can review and adjust to focus on the topics that matter most to them. This plan is documented to track progress, along with session presentations. Classes can take place in person at your home, my apartment, or a convenient location nearby, including in surrounding areas of France. Online classes are also available. For in-person sessions, I provide physical materials (or digital if preferred), and for online courses, all resources are shared via email or Google Classroom. Alongside grammar and vocabulary, I emphasize practical application, engaging students in constant conversation to build confidence. My goal is to create a supportive and motivating environment where you feel comfortable speaking Spanish. If you're looking for a Spanish teacher to support you in reaching your language goals, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I'm here to help you succeed!
