French and literature courses for students or aspiring authors.

From 51 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

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.

Beta reading, mentoring and support for a literary project, aspiring authors

92 C$ /h

As an author with a Master's degree in literature and over two years of teaching experience, I offer mentoring services to writers who aspire to write a book, regardless of genre: thriller, fantasy, autofiction, autobiographical novel, romance, etc.

My role as a mentor is to guide you in your narrative choices and teach you the art of narrative structure and sentence construction. I will support you from the very beginning of your project, and also act as a beta reader during the final stages of your novel before it is submitted to publishers.

Whether it's creating a universe, submitting to publishers, writing a letter of intent, a synopsis, or developing film or literary projects, I help you refine your project so that it reaches its full potential.

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.

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.

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 :)

English and French courses for beginners. Having myself a B2 level in English and C2 in French, I can teach children or adults the basics and the conversation.

This course is for students who have difficulty attending classes at school, as well as for young people and adults who wish to improve their language level or learn a new language.

➤ 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).

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.

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.
