Experienced Tutor offers German and Math Tutoring/Exam-Prep

I make the difference by understanding that student success is also my responsibility as a tutor. This is why I put in an extra effort which exceeds conveying the knowledge about how a given math problem works. As a consequence my students enjoy our lessons on top of progressing academically.

I teach Math and German up to the last year of Secondary School. I work with teenagers and adults alike. You can rely on me in any situation, may it be an emergency or an exam where you first need to set up a plan, we can work it out together following my structured approach I developed by teaching over 1500 lessons.

My experience and a great sense for what my students need, make my classes effective and focused. I am very strong at motivating my students to achieve their goals, supporting and fostering a positive mindset towards any subject or task.

About Me

I am 32 years old and I hold a BA degree in Economics from the University of Zurich. I speak five different languages, some of which I have learnt in my exchange programmes around the world. I am deeply interested in learning itself, this is probably the reason why I founded my first tutoring school at the age of 22 and my second one at the age of 26. I have sold the school before moving to Lausanne, because Lausanne is such a beautiful place to live and be. I live here with my Partner Jenny and apart from Tutoring I work on my newest project called "wisy". It's a software that makes learning visible and shows progress students, classes or even schools make over time. I like to read a lot and my favourite authors are Alan Watts, Gregory Bateson and Christopher Alexander. Oh, and I like photographs! Making photographs myself and looking at others works is both inspiring to me.

French lessons for teenagers and adults.
French is essential to integrate into a partially French-speaking society. I can help you integrate the material in a pleasant and logical way. French is not complicated to learn if you do it right. The secret is to go step by step, using the lessons learned and making connections. All levels are welcome, all difficulties are recognized and all students will be encouraged with professionalism and kindness.

Learn Italian language, arts and culture all levels
I am an associate researcher in Italian archaeology at Lausanne University with experience in teaching Italian to foreigners. I have the CEDILS certificate to teach Italian to foreigners, issued by the Itals’ Laboratory of the Ca ‘Foscari University of Venice. I love to learn new languages and have always been aware of the importance of these skills in my personal development. I spent many years abroad for my studies in archaeology. This gave me the opportunity to meet different people and cultures from all over the world, and allowed me find my own way of teaching my language. When teaching Italian, I draw on all experiences that I have accumulated, in order to develop the academic and personal strengths of each student. I apply a student-centered, holistic approach with a focus on oral and written foreign language proficiency in a strong conversational curriculum. Highlights of my qualifications include development of students’ autonomy, action-oriented teaching and generating student motivation in a pleasant and supportive classroom.

Phillip
Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Kevin
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.
