French and literature courses for students or aspiring authors.

From 57 C$ /h

With a master's degree in literature and over two years of teaching experience, I offer traditional French courses, including a section on spelling, grammar and language skills (both written and oral), as well as writing workshops for more creative work such as writing and producing novels or preparing final projects, dissertations, theses, etc.

For aspiring authors, I work as a reader. I provide constructive feedback and help you refine your text so that it becomes a polished and coherent work.

I advocate a creative and relaxed approach. No silly questions: mistakes are the foundation of your learning. Without them, you won't be able to progress.

Since January 2025, I have been working as a substitute teacher at CPNV, where I teach various courses. This experience has allowed me to develop strong adaptability skills and an ability to build a trusting relationship with my students.

I enjoy designing activities that stimulate thinking, encourage creativity, and allow students to progress at their own pace. I am also sensitive to learning disabilities.

I adapt easily to schedules and needs. Naturally organized and independent, I am proficient in the digital tools used in education and I create my own teaching materials while guaranteeing high-quality schoolwork.

About Me

Online portfolio: https://aurelienydegger.myportfolio.com

A Swiss documentary photographer and visual artist, I graduated in visual communication from CEPV in Vevey, and I continued my studies in the field of visual arts and obtained a bachelor's degree at HEAD in Geneva.

For more than five years, I have been designing and developing visual content for print as well as digital media.

Thanks to my keen sense of light and composition, I will guide you through these concepts without making them unnecessarily complicated.

My professional experiences, both in Switzerland and abroad, have led me to work for cultural institutions, companies, and individuals alike.

As a graphic designer and photographer, I regularly manage campaigns from start to finish, propose new strategies, and maintain the websites and social media accounts of my clients. I develop relevant visual solutions while remaining attentive to objectives and expectations.

Although my career has been built between visual arts, visual communication and writing, it has always been guided by the same desire: to transmit, to awaken curiosity and to support others.

Since January 2025, I have been working as a substitute teacher at CPNV, where I teach various courses in multimedia, drawing, and French. This experience has allowed me to develop strong adaptability skills and an ability to build a trusting relationship with my students.

Photography Course: Develop your eye, your artistic vision, as well as your technical and theoretical skills.

104 C$ /h

Whether online or in person, the training will begin with an overview of the history of photography, followed by theoretical lessons on composition. To understand how a camera works and the depth of an image, you must observe and practice again and again. As a photographer, your aesthetic sense will develop through both practical and theoretical exercises.

I have all the necessary equipment, in case you don't have your own camera.

As an artist promoted by institutions such as Paris Photo and Alfred la Tour, I will accompany you throughout your creative process to help you refine your aesthetic sensibility and best meet your expectations as well as those of your future clients.

I also offer training on all of the following software:
• Photoshop: image correction, retouching, editing and processing
• Illustrator: proficiency in the software and typography
• InDesign: layout design, microtypography, graphic coordination and integration between different software programs; history of the publishing and printing industry
• Premiere Pro: video editing, tips and pitfalls to avoid, how to create a harmonious and effective edit, and mastering the software.

I adapt easily to schedules and needs. Naturally organized and independent, I am proficient in the digital tools used in education and I create my own teaching materials while guaranteeing high-quality work.

I advocate a creative and relaxed approach. No silly questions: mistakes are the foundation of your learning. Without them, you won't be able to progress.

Whether at school age, to improve your knowledge or simply to practice the language, I will be happy to help you in French or in English!

The best way to learn a language is to practice it over and over again! Whether through conversation or playful games, radio or books!

My mothertongue is french, I'm from Jura and I moved in Friborg because of the university. I always loved french and so I had also the chance to write for a newspaper. Beside that, I went to Germany and to USA for improving my languages skills and that is why I know what does it mean to learn a new language and to keep practicing it! I would love to help you if I can :)

I offer careful proofreading, both in terms of content and form, of written work such as internship reports, senior work, end-of-study dissertations, dissertations, comments or reading sheets.
I correct language errors: grammar, syntax, language register, spelling. I also suggest possibly bringing in other sources and rectifying the structure of the work if necessary.

Improve your skills to better manage your written communication: your objectives in terms of written communication may be diverse and the objective of these sessions is precisely to support you in better achieving them. So, how can we send a clear message, be impactful, create a difference and make an impact?

➤ Whether your objective is personal or professional, written communication is an activity based on techniques, tools, a method and know-how, reflecting the author's involvement in his writing.

➤ Relevant and successful written communication must always be effective and efficient, with clear, simple and impactful messages, creating a match between the message received and the message sent. Coherence between form and content.

➤ So, how can you convince and be impactful, challenge and leave an impression, enhance your content, address your interlocutors relevantly and optimize the quality & clarity of your message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques, taking care of both substance and form, all in a professional or personal context. For this, there are very specific techniques.

➤ Thus, mastered, the practical method allows, through a set of modules supporting pragmatic & concrete techniques, to improve one's written communication.

➤ To achieve your objective and overcome the blockages encountered through concrete techniques & a targeted methodology, it is a question of:
✓decode and use practical communication tools from great authors
✓highlight your text and enhance it to arouse interest
✓create consistency between the message sent and the message received
✓adopt effective, simple, fair and engaging language
✓use sentences, phrases and expressions to be precise, simple, effective & engaging
✓write proactively and express/transmit your ideas/message clearly
✓propose a constructive solution to problems, while drawing on your own relational skills
✓enhance your potential for expression and creativity
✓connect your communication objectives (project, institution, values, ideas, demands, etc.) with the form of your expression
✓practical techniques to encourage reader engagement
✓Strengthen the structure of your communication and develop a convincing argument in order to sell your ideas and projects
✓better prepare your message and arguments; anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an attractive and convincing presentation framework; by adequately managing difficult situations
(...)

➤ In short, each session combines adapted techniques & practical exercises, so that you can put them into practice immediately, and from the first session.

THE TRAINER
➤ With training from Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher trainer has specialized and has worked for more than 18 years in the field, in Europe and North America, in renowned international public and private establishments, regularly speaking in forums and conferences, and also offering personalized INDIVIDUAL support, with pedagogy and careful methodology as the watchwords.

➤ PLACE, TIMETABLE, PRICES
✓ Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Fribourg-Zurich-Neuchâtel-Lugano-Basel-Neuchâtel-Berne-Lucerne-Brussels-Luxembourg-Paris-Lyon. But currently, these sessions continue to be offered by videoconference in the current context and in accordance with general demand which is almost unanimous on this subject.

✓ Indeed, apart from the classic advantages of videoconferencing (time saving related to travel & their unforeseen events, eco-responsibility, increased schedule flexibility, etc.), the quality of the session & the interaction remain identical. In addition, the entire exchange, notes and recommendations are immediately transcribed on the dedicated chat.

✓ To support us among ourselves & to be pleasant to you in this sustainable / particular period and in a spirit of solidarity, the fees are temporarily reduced and will not increase after the start of our sessions.

✓ Languages: French/English.

✓ The progress following these private sessions is perceptible from 2 sessions (*2024 study).

✓ As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round.

I offer tutoring tailored to all levels, from primary school to post-secondary studies, as well as to adults. The courses are suitable for students needing occasional support as well as those experiencing more persistent difficulties, including students with special needs.

Each lesson begins with an analysis of the student's needs and objectives. The work focuses on understanding the material, reviewing fundamental concepts if necessary, practicing through targeted exercises, and developing effective study methods. I pay particular attention to adapting the pace and explanations to each student's individual learning style.

Drawing on my experience in schools, private tutoring, and specialized settings, I prioritize a supportive, structured, and challenging approach aimed at strengthening students' understanding, independence, and confidence. Lessons can be conducted in person or online, depending on individual needs.
