Personal Description:

Hello, my name is Sophara. I am 21 years old and I am from Geneva, Switzerland. I am finishing up my Bachelor of Education (ECE) at Ryerson University this coming summer. Born and raised in Switzerland, I speak German (mother tongue) with my mother and English with my father. At school, the only language that was spoken was French: graduated with a Swiss Maturité Certificat in hand. I am fluent in all three languages and would love to help others learn them as well. I am energetic, positive and patient.

Tutoring Experience:

Having always had a passion for teaching, I was a tutor back home (Association des répétitoires AJETA) for more than 4 years. I taught French, English, German, Math, History and Science to children between the ages of 4 and 15. I am also currently at Ryerson University studying Early Childhood Studies.

Tutoring Approach:

One thing I've learned from my previous experiences with children is that you need to be patient and help them find their own pace. I adapt myself to the need of every single child and guarantee and serious but pleasant way to work and improve his French and/or English. To start, I would need to estimate the child's level of French/English, so that I can build our lessons according to his requests (reading, writing, speaking and listening). I would then summarize it to let you acknowledge what we can review together.
