Searching for a French tutor in Geneva?

Hello !

My name is Florence. I come from France and I am an experienced French teacher for foreigners, certified by the Alliance Française de Paris and hold a Master’s degree in FLE (french for foreigners) to teach you my mother tongue. I have experience teaching a wide range of adults from all continents and at all levels.

But also ... before starting to teach French full-time and because of a double technical and commercial training, I worked for a long time in marketing and international trade for companies in various sectors of activities: electrical construction, car accessories, shoes… I also created my own business to distribute my creations of costume jewelry.

I’m originally from the East of France, a small town near the Swiss border, and I've been around a lot! I have lived in different regions of France: from North to South, from East to West, from Paris to Nice, from Lyon to Albi. After living in Valparaiso, Chile, I returned to Europe and then settled in Spain for almost 15 years. Today, I live in Alicante with my family.

I hope to meet you very soon and share very pleasant sessions with you. Please note that I made the choice to teach online only to ADULTS.

See you soon !

Let's set your goal and start a work plan! There are many reasons to learn French, such as:

• Passing exams such as the DELF, TEF or DFP.
• Travelling or living in a French-speaking country
• Work requirements and career growth

I can help with all of the above, and more.

It is always a pleasure to be able to have a fluent conversation (or a heated debate) with students who sometimes started as total beginners and to see them acing their exams.

As for the method, I use trusted manuals and activity books because I believe in structure, but also material that suits your interests and tastes - from literature to popular songs, news to scientific articles, series, and movies (subtitled or not), online resources and grammar exercises. Resources are shared on a Slack group where lessons are summarized, and tasks listed. I can also tailor-make lessons for a specific objective like a job interview or a power point presentation.

Teaching French has been my main activity for several years both privately and at the Alliance Française. I am outgoing and chatty, but homework is not optional (at least if you want to improve fast!).

Do not hesitate to book a trial session.

See you soon!

Hi, I'm Ava! I'm a native French speaker and a fluent English speaker, I've been tutoring French online for almost six years and I also have experience teaching younger students in the classroom. 

Depending on your needs and your goals, whether you're a beginner or an advanced student, there is always a way for me to help you improve your French skills! I can adapt and do structured exercises to make you progress with grammar, conjugation and vocabulary as well as we can talk on whatever subject you're interested in to improve your comprehension skills. I can help you with pronunciation, phonology, phonetics, or with your homework if you need it. The resources that I usually use are books, texts, dialogues and exercises and I will always provide you with a feedback after the lesson so that you keep a track of what you will have learned.

A little bit about me: I have a Bachelor's degree in British and American literature and civilization and my interests include reading, learning foreign languages and traveling.

So feel free to book a free trial and I'll be there to help you learn French!

See you soon!

I wasn’t always a French tutor. I have been working with and for various companies for over 15 years.

I am passionate about languages since my youngest years. During my long stays abroad, I used to teach my roommates and friends. A few years ago, I decided to teach my native language in a more formal way. I started on a volunteering basis, teaching French to migrants.

After a while, I felt the need to improve my mastery of French teaching. That’s the reason why I decided to get a certification with the Cavilam Alliance Française of Vichy. There, I was trained according to the action-oriented approach recommended by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

As a certified teacher, I am able to provide you with customised, dynamic, playful lessons based on your individual needs. My goal is also to help you to learn how to learn with pleasure! Whatever your level or goals are, we will build up, together, the best learning plan for yourself.

A bientôt !

Hi guys! It's Rita here :)

I am an enthusiastic French teacher (I also speak fluently and teach English, Russian, Spanish and German). So, your mother tongue can be any of these languages  as I   speak and teach in all of these languages. Learning grammar is only one part of learning a language, the other part is to practice, practice, practice, and of course having as much fun as possible while doing so! I work with a book to give your learning a structure. However, I also choose interesting videos, audio files and conversation topics so that you get immersed into the language as much as possible. 

My focus lies on the right pronunciation, to motivate you and to show you that learning a language can be lots of fun. I have lived and worked two years in the South of France and have a German diploma in translation and interpretation for French and English. I speak 7 languages and 5 of them fluently. I want to show you that it is possible to learn a new language fast and with fun. I usually need 3-4 weeks in order to speak a new language fluently. How I do it? Through as much immersion into the language as possible: reading books, comics, watching cartoons, films, YouTube videos, listening to songs, and speaking to natives in real life and online.

My students have a high success rate as I have over 15 years of teaching experience (I started tutoring the younger kids in English when I was at college, and worked as a language coach during my studies). See you very soon in your next class! Sending you lots of love, Rita

Hello my name is teacher Sussu and I am so happy to meet you.

I am an experienced teacher with more than 17 years of experience.

I have a Master's degree in TESOL, FLE, and Montessori certified.

I believe that learning a new language should be fun and exciting.

Yes, it is not always easy, but it is more like a puzzle you build piece by piece.

I always start where you are and offer new ways to use and expand what you already know.

My priority in class is to make sure my student speak and relax.

The more relaxed, the more confident they will be. The more daring, the more they will see that it is okay to make mistakes and try again.

I will always challenge you to reach higher, to add one step and then another step in your language journey. And then, you will have fun doing so.

Plus, I match my classes to your interests and goals.

So what do you think?

Are you ready to book a trial with me?

I promise to always be patient and kind.

I hope to see you soon.

Until then...

Hi, I'm Amandine, a native French from the beautiful region of Bordeaux and a language coach here for adults and teenagers.

My main focus in creating classes for you is to understand your learning process to help you be autonomous as soon as possible. AND to make it FUN and ENJOYABLE!

I have helped people of ALL LEVELS and dozens of nationalities. I have prepared people for their DELF / DALF / TEF / TEFAQ. I have coached people for job interviews in French, university students needing help with essays and presentations... You name it!

So whatever your profile is, we will tailor the class to YOUR needs and goals. The method used will therefore depend on YOU. The tools we can/will use are:

- conversation (where we will work together on different linguistic points while discussing and exchanging on our respective cultures);

- activities focused on listening comprehension (using videos, songs, podcasts, etc.);

- reading, written comprehension and pronunciation exercises (with articles, texts, song lyrics, etc.);

- grammar lessons and exercises;

- written production...

But as I said, the number 1 condition for learning a language is to gain the necessary self-confidence, to be relaxed and open in order to find the courage to express yourself. The goal is simply to COMMUNICATE!

Get onboard your French journey with me!

See you soon!

Hi, my name is Farid. Teaching French is something I really enjoy, especially when I witness my students progressing in the language and towards their goals. I have been teaching French for almost 2 years now. Most of my students are children and teenagers, but I am also teaching adults. My lessons are usually customized to meet the needs of the students. I use different materials to teach my students; like comprehension texts, dialogues, stories, vocab materials, games..etc.. I have obtained a Level 7 Diploma in Teaching skills and I also hold a DBS check up-to-date.

In 2010, I left my birth country France to move to the United Kingdom. I am currently in Algeria for a few months, as I wanted to (re)discover my parents country. I love travelling and discovering new cultures and languages. I also speak a little Arabic. 

Book now a trial with me to set the goals you want to achieve. As a French native, I can help you to improve your pronunciation in addition to the grammar. I have been living in the UK for 12 years which made me fully bilingual. With a bit of motivation and a hint of work, your French will upgrade in no time!

For me, learning is practicing, doing, imitating, and acting.

Speaking with a native French speaker is the easier way to get comfortable with the slang, intonation, and mannerisms.

I'm here to give you an awesome pronunciation, a fluid spoken, giving you more vocabulary and I’ll be really focusing on how to make you be more fluent and comfortable to speak this beautiful language.

My name is Léah, I am 24 years old and I am a French native, born and raised in the South of France, in Toulouse.

I also speak Spanish, English, and Portuguese and I've been teaching French for 3 years now.

So if you are ready to learn while having fun, send me a message, and let’s start!:)
