General English and for Specific Purposes, Test Prep
I am a TEFL certified professional English teacher who is experienced in teaching general English and English for Specific Purposes both face to face and online. I help my students reach their goals of preparing for a test like IELTS or Cambridge, a job interview, negotiations, presentations and becoming more fluent in the language in general. Besides editing and proofreading my students’ writing, such as business correspondence, CVs, personal statements and academic texts, I teach them how to improve their writing skills and become a confident language user. I also teach teenagers and young adults.
My lessons are fun, interactive and tailored to your needs! Apart from audio-video resources, role-plays, interesting texts and practicing for your tests, we will focus on pronunciation for listeners to improve your listening and speaking skills. I also pay a lot of attention to developing my students’ autonomy that helps you learn the language outside the classroom.

English / French lessons while having fun - Beginner / ReinforcementDifficulties in English or French? Learning a new language is not easy, nor is discovering a new culture. Learning is much easier when you have fun, and when the lesson is based on the child's interests.
Scientific research increasingly shows that we learn better while having fun, by adapting the teaching to our tastes. For English it's the same ... if your child is a fan of Minecraft or Pokemon, manga or drawing, we will approach the subject while reviewing the notions of English acquired or in the process of being acquired.

Louise
Private lessons in maths; physics-chemistry; English and French.I offer private lessons at home or online for various subjects.
My French lessons are intended for both beginners and intermediates in the language as well as middle and high school students for support in grammar and literature. French being my mother tongue and having studied in the French system, I am comfortable in several areas and therefore offer quality support.
My English classes are intended for both beginners and intermediates in the language (adults or students). I learned English as a second language and therefore I know several tips for approaching learning whether from an academic or conversational point of view.
My mathematics and physics-chemistry courses are intended for students in 13th (Second) or below. I am in the first year of physics at EPFL and therefore have a solid foundation to help my students progress in science. In addition, I have experience in tutoring young students and I am ready to adapt to the needs to develop a taste for and understanding of concepts. (Available in French and English)
Luna
Student at the gymnasium who offers your child help with homework, learning to work and getting organized.After having myself finished compulsory school in Vaud in the pre-gymnasium course with very good exam results, I offer your child different working methods in order to find the one that will be the right one for her or for him.
It is not always easy to learn to memorize German vocabulary, to organize oneself, to express oneself in writing or even to not lose one's means in the middle of the test, which is why I will do my best to communicate, discuss, share the different techniques that have been beneficial to me during my schooling. The idea is to bring my help to your child but above all to give him the means to succeed by himself or by herself. Talk about how to find motivation, stress management and of course organization in general.
As for my background, I took the Italian option for three years in secondary I, a language that I already spoke a little in my family. I am someone who appreciates literature and expression in the three languages that I master the most, that is to say; Italian, English and French of course.
I offer lessons of one to two hours depending on your child's needs, at your home (in Lausanne) or at the library of La Sallaz as well as that of La Riponne.
Séverine
Learn English with pleasure and efficiency for levels A1 to B2Polyglot, especially passionate about the English language, I wish to transmit my knowledge to learners from 13 years. I do not have a predefined method, we will define together that you want to refresh old knowledge or you are already well advanced. However, I try to give the course a maximum in English and like to vary the teaching aids, books, videos, songs, etc ... I learned English everywhere, but having a clear preference for British English, my vocabulary is leaning on that side. Finally, only one word: FUN, because learning a language must be a pleasure
