enquiry about French conversation tutor in Geneva

Bonjour!
I'm looking for a French conversation tutor for myself (55 yrs old, male, lawyer, recently moved to Geneva with my wife from Singapore). I've studied French for many years (now b1 or b2 level), and want to extend my conversational abilities. I'd prefer 1 hour per week (at a café or other suitable location near my home in Champel), and was thinking a good exercise would be for me to read the Saturday edition of Le Temps to discuss and understand with my tutor. In fact, my ability to speak and understand is good, but lacking local idioms, and my writing and some grammar isn't very tight. So, ideally, we could clean up some of those grammar or other gaps as we go. This is a long term project for me (we're permis-c holders and plan to be here for some years). Is anyone available to work with me, and can you tell me your rates? Overall, I'd prefer a female teacher if possible, but it's not so strict if it isn't possible for your schedules. Merci beaucoup!
By the way, my wife is learning French, too (she's a Professor at UNIGE), she's now a2 level and will be looking for a conversation tutor soon. So, possibly if this arrangement works, then Kimberly (my wife) may also like to schedule her own tutor lessons on a similar basis.
Best Regards,
William
