About Me
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am passionate about modern and ancient languages, and I want to instill the same passion in others. Focused above all on the relationship I create with my students, I adapt my teaching methods to their individual needs, and when the opportunity arises, I take pleasure in integrating their personal interests into my lessons: for example reading excerpts from Greek comedies with a teenager who wants to become an actor, or talking in German about bicycles with a cyclist. I do not hesitate to use visual or auditory aids to enrich the lesson and stimulate the interest of my students.Special needs (autism, ADHD, dyslexia ...): I had the chance to teach several adolescents and adults with special needs, which I have always approached with seriousness and sensitivity. I gladly take into account the specific experiences, preferences and difficulties of you or your child in my lessons.

Did you choose to study Greek in college or university, but struggling to get by? Or are you passionate about Antiquity and want to learn an ancient language, but you don't know where to start? I am here to help you: I offer individual lessons (material provided by me) as well as tutoring (help with homework, revision ...) in ancient Greek for students of all levels. The approach that I propose is as serious as it is creative, and my learning methods are adapted to the needs and preferences of each one. Whether reading Homer or translating fairy tales from French to Greek, I will be happy to give you a taste for this language and the richness of ancient Greece.
I have a bachelor's and a master's degree in ancient Greek, and I have been giving lessons and tutoring in this branch since 2015.
PLEASE NOTE: I do not teach modern Greek.
I offer tutoring (help with homework, revision, oral practice ...) in German and English, for children, adolescents and adults of all levels. The approach that I propose is as serious as it is creative, and my learning methods are adapted to the needs and preferences of each one. Whether reading Goethe or discussing movies in English, I will be happy to motivate you or your child to study these languages.
English is my mother tongue, and I speak German fluently (among other things thanks to a bilingual high school diploma and a one-year exchange that I did in Munich). I have been offering tutoring in these two languages since 2010.

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.

The technology to improve your French. Lessons with a certified native teacher.TECHNOLOGIES FOR LEARNING.
Hey,
My name is Laurie and I am an independent FLE teacher, graduated in French and Romance languages and literature since 2012. I have five years of experience under my belt (abroad and in Belgium). I have created a teaching method for online courses.
The course includes:
-The material (articles, videos, exercises from images and texts, grammatical theory, links to the exercises...). I use Google Doc so it's best to have a Gmail address to access it.
-The correction of exercises outside of class (the written expressions are corrected outside of class, or with the student, according to his needs).
-Access to an application (free) to study vocabulary on your smartphone.
-A vocabulary sheet - pronunciation - grammar / conjugation, sent after each course.
-If necessary, a vocabulary recording (for beginners).
-The realization of online exercises and tests from the sent vocabulary sheets.
-Motivation, laughter, good mood :-)
My method:
- It's based on speaking.
-For grammar I use a question/answer method (learned during the training at the CERAN center).
-We work on pronunciation with the verbotonal method (exercises for setting your voice, for rhythm, etc.). I might even make you sing! :-)
-Everything goes through the spoken word before the written word, but I clearly adapt to the needs of the students.
-The course is a little different for children and adolescents: I use interactive games and cards via webcam.
See you soon!

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!

General Repetitrice and Support in Biology / Medicine** CORONAVIRUS UPDATE: Courses given online! **
I am a young doctor recently graduated in Human Medicine at the University of Geneva.
Being calm and patient in nature, I try to build trust with my students to create a more relaxed environment, conducive to exchange and therefore learning courses.
For me, the understanding of a course is mainly through a structured, imaged and especially personalized learning of different subjects to enable the student to sustainably integrate the key concepts that are useful to him.
This type of contact is very important to me and is the basis of my interest and desire to teach. I believe that academic success is, of course, through learning but above all through an educational approach that takes into account several psychosocial factors that can influence children's success through an impact on their self-esteem. In my sessions, I attach great importance to identifying these factors and valuing the efforts of my students so that they become aware of their abilities and gain self-confidence.
This course is for people of all ages and backgrounds who need tutoring or who wish to deepen their knowledge of biology / medicine.
Students and future medical students accepted for regular courses and exam preparation!
Do not hesitate to contact me, I will answer you with pleasure!
