Expert preparing First Certificate My students pass! Also beginners to upper intermediate

Preparing a Cambridge Exam ( PET, First or CAE) is an investment in time and money. My success in teaching for these exams relies on:
-Quickly seeing the students strong and weak points to build confidence
-Maximize their time by drilling the new information and from the beginning giving them priority to speaking
-I never hesitate to correct their pronunciation and grammar mistakes in a positive way
-The student soon feels they are improving
-We both enjoy the lesson and know that it hasn't been a waste of time

I have +10 year experience. Worked at the Université Populaire de Lausanne, Centre de Langues at EPFL, Gymnase de la Cité (Lausanne), Institut de Rosey (Rolle) and several private companies and banks in Lausanne.

I love my job and the students feel it.

Shirley
English and Japanese lesson, Support for English homework
I specialise in tutoring language classes. I have a Master's Degree in Teaching of English as a Second Language and currently pursuing my PhD in Science of Education. I have also lived in Japan for 6 years and I have learned Japanese for two years in the university. Therefore I can teach Japanese for daily conversations. Owing to the fact that I speak 7 languages, I believe I understand the joy and struggle of language learning, which makes a good partner to learn a new language.
