Teaches
Availability
I've recently relocated to Geneva after living in the USA for over 10 years. I am originally from the beautiful country of Rwanda in Africa. I have been speaking English all of my life, hence why I consider myself a native speaker. My background is in education, and I hold a masters of education from the Harvard Graduate School of education. My career interests include quality education for all (sustainable development goals number 4), youth development, and entrepreneurship. I love to teach, and would be happy to support you in your journey to speak English confidently! I speak French and Kinyarwanda fluently, and can get around relatively easily in Kirundi and Swahili.
Learning English in Geneva is not easy, unless you are a quick learner. It is also not extremely difficult. Most of the public signage in Geneva is written in multiple languages -including English. Additionally, most- if not all- Genevoises speak English, although French tends to be the default language of operation. Overall, learning English in Geneva would be easier than learning English in a city where English is barely spoken. At the same time, it would be more difficult to learn English in Geneva compared to the U.S. or the U.K where English is widely spoken. It is possible to find pockets of English immersion in Geneva, which would enable you to learn English.
Depending on the languages you already know, your ability to acquire a new language, your interest, enthusiasm and drive to consume and produce information in English, English can be relatively easy or difficult to learn. I think some of the most important qualities that help people learn English is 1) confidence, 2) being courageous, and 3)daring to make mistakes. It is only through failing, and through failing fast that you will gain real time feedback and fail better :=)
