Hanna Coelho
OH! Lingua Founder
With over 15 years of experience teaching English at a leading upper secondary school in Switzerland, I have gained extensive expertise working with teenagers and young adults. I teach business, technical, and standard English, preparing students for various examinations. In parallel, I work as a school mediator. I believe in a personalized and individual approach, utilizing diverse and tailored methods that can make a significant difference.
As a mother of three trilingual children, I place great importance on language learning. Passionate about diversity and the richness of expression, I am convinced that successful learning is achieved through the student's enjoyment, confidence, and well-being.
I look forward to meeting you! See you very soon!

My clear and easily understandable British accent, along with my proficiency in French and Spanish, allows me to provide precise translations and contextual explanations.

Amalia Platonos
I am a native English speaker from London with 12 years of experience teaching English. I have taught in Greece, Spain, and currently work at a language school in London, welcoming students from around the world.
I offer lessons focused on grammar, general conversation, and business English. I greatly enjoy meeting people from diverse backgrounds, which enriches my own understanding of the world. Being fluent in three languages allows me to understand the challenges of learning a new language. My motto is patience and perseverance: 'Don't hesitate to speak, even if you make mistakes. Constant practice will eventually pay off.'

Anne-Lise Matter
Since childhood, foreign languages have been my passion. They allow us to create connections and break down barriers. Sharing these values through teaching has always been a pleasure for me.
Working with migrants has also highlighted the importance of teaching my native language, French, which I do with particular joy.
I look forward to getting to know you, assisting you, and supporting you through the various stages of acquiring French.
See you soon! Bis bald! Looking forward to meeting you online!

Stephanie Gingter
Having grown up in Central Europe, being surrounded by different languages and cultures has always fascinated me. I believe that language is an essential part of a country and its identity. I fell in love with English and French when I studied them in high school and decided to pursue both languages to become a teacher.
Last year, I lived in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, working as a German teacher. There, I discovered my passion and love for teaching my own native language.
I love helping people improve their language skills by making lessons interesting and fun, and encouraging them to recognize their progress. I look forward to celebrating your achievements together!

Marina Oliver
I am a generalist teacher specializing in foreign languages, with over 8 years of experience. Graduated from the University of Barcelona, my passion for education has led me to work with diverse audiences, both adults and children, in various educational settings.
My desire to discover new cultures has motivated me to practice my profession in several countries. In Spain, I taught in public schools; then in France, I worked as a Spanish teacher within a cultural institution. Currently, I teach Spanish and English in Switzerland.
My courses are personalized according to individual needs and objectives. As a native speaker, I emphasize the cultural aspects of the language, which promote fluid and natural communication.

Agata Kurenda
I hold a master's degree in Polish philology with a specialization in cultural studies. My passion for teaching led me to complement my studies with qualifying pedagogical training, thereby broadening my skills. I also obtained a doctorate in literary and linguistic studies.
Since 2015, I have been teaching at the Polish School in Lausanne and working as an integration assistant within a foundation. I also collaborate with the Compulsory Education Service of the French language.
My goal is to create a welcoming environment where everyone can learn and explore the Polish language and culture. I look forward to sharing my passion and accompanying you on your learning journey.

Kimberley Perrenoud
Teaching French as a Foreign Language (FLE) has been my passion for six years. I am a polyglot with proficiency in English, Spanish, German, Russian, and Italian, which allows me to create personalized exercises for my students.
Recently, I published an activity book covering levels A1 to B2 to teach French as spoken in Swiss Romandy and Swiss culture, aiming to facilitate the integration of foreigners in Switzerland. Additionally, I have developed a series of online audiovisual activities highlighting Swiss music—original material!
I look forward to meeting you and sharing these resources with you!

Rita Dourado
I began my professional career teaching Portuguese to foreigners in 2002 at the University of Lisbon. I hold a degree in Portuguese Language and Culture (Foreign Language), followed by a postgraduate qualification in Teaching Portuguese Language and Culture. Currently, I am pursuing a doctorate in the same field.
I have taught Portuguese as a foreign language to students from over 30 nationalities, across levels A1 to C2, and I am the co-author of the manual 'Por Falar Nisso...' .
Teaching my language to foreigners is a privilege: I discover their perception of the Portuguese language and culture while contributing to its global dissemination, as Portuguese is widely spoken. Apart from languages, I love music and enjoy discussing it with friends for hours...
