Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research

The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.

For help with writing:

The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.

For analyzes of oral literary texts:

In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.

For the corrections of end of studies work:

so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.

Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.

For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.

For adults (FLE):

In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).

The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.

Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

➤ Learn French with a successful technique: the main objective is to acquire bases or improve your level in French (written & oral: pronunciation, comprehension, language construction, communication, conjugation, grammar & vocabulary). It is also to understand the cultural specificities of Switzerland & France.

➤ Whether it is for work or leisure, the classes are adjusted to the initial diagnosis and to your needs.

➤ The method focuses on your own goals and:

• are adjusted to your own rhythm, with (funny) oral and writing exercises
• help to improve your everyday/practical skills
• on interactivity: you learn much more quickly with private sessions and you develop listening and vocabulary skills in an effective way
• these classes are customized courses to create an environment adjusted to each person, to meet your individual needs & requirements, and to learn French effectively.

➤ Statistically, you will be able to notice that you have progressed with these private classes, after 2 or 3 classes (based on our 2023 survey).

The French program addresses literature with great authors as well as grammatical difficulties, verbs with multiple exceptions without forgetting spelling!
This one is especially difficult. I propose to support the student in learning to analyze the books in the program but also in mastering the different points of structuring. In addition, the editorial aspect is becoming more and more important. Writing a text without mistakes is a real challenge! The composition of an argumentative text requires strategies to be acquired. A brief assessment of the acquired knowledge will allow the courses to be targeted.
A lot of work !

Hello,

I propose to give French support lessons to your children. Holder of a Master MEEF (teaching, education and training), I worked in a CM1 / CM2 class in France (9 to 11 years old). With my training I have the capacity to teach a baccalaureate level. My experience allows me to adapt to the needs of each student.

Homework help allows students to have additional help when they encounter difficulties at school. This allows for more regular monitoring with the student who is no longer drowned in the mass of the class, it is an excellent way to help your child progress who will have special monitoring.

I offer you personalized and adapted support, based on a bond of kindness, so that everyone can learn serenely. Whether it is: a need for support, to consolidate particular subjects, to start from "zero", do not hesitate to write to me so that we can develop the follow-up that would suit you best!

If you are interested in my ad, please feel free to send me a message.

Best regards,
Emma

English in Secondary I/II is often the time when students must move from basic vocabulary to a true mastery of grammar and expression. It is also the time when some begin to fall behind, due to a lack of regular practice outside of school.
I offer private English lessons for Secondary I students, level A2 to B1. We work on grammar (verb tenses, structures, prepositions), thematic vocabulary, written expression (compositions, emails) and oral expression (conversation, pronunciation, listening comprehension).
I have a B2 level in English and I use it regularly. Lessons can be structured around the student's textbook, or take the form of freer conversation practice for students who need to gain fluency.
My approach is practical: fewer rules to memorize, more real-life situations. Language is learned by practicing it, and it's through making mistakes that we progress. I adapt to each student's level and pace.

Hi, I’m Calia!

I am a Gymnase student in the Math and Physics track, and a native English speaker who is also fluent in French. Having grown up in both English- and French-speaking environments, I understand the challenges children can face when learning a new language.

My approach to tutoring is based on natural language acquisition through play, conversation, stories, games, and activities that make learning enjoyable and engaging. I believe children learn best when they feel comfortable, curious, and confident rather than pressured or worried about making mistakes.

I work with primary and lower secondary school students who would like support with spoken English, vocabulary development, reading, schoolwork, pronunciation, or simply gaining confidence using English in everyday situations.

Lessons are adapted to each child’s age, interests, and learning style. Whether your child loves books, crafts, science, games, or creative activities, I aim to make English something they look forward to using.

Languages:
• English (native speaker)
• French (fluent)

I look forward to helping your child develop confidence and enjoyment in English!

A serious student in high school, I always felt comfortable in school, particularly in math, French, and English. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and have already helped classmates improve in these subjects.

I offer personalized support tailored to each student's needs: reviewing the school curriculum, homework help, test/exam preparation, or simply reinforcing the fundamentals. I adapt my method to each student's pace, with great patience. The goal is for the student to truly understand, not just memorize.

Available this summer and flexible with hours. Feel free to contact me to discuss your child's specific needs.
