French is essential to integrate into a partially French-speaking society. I can help you integrate the material in a pleasant and logical way. French is not complicated to learn if you do it right. The secret is to go step by step, using the lessons learned and making connections.
All levels are welcome, all difficulties are recognized and all students will be encouraged with professionalism and kindness.

My goal is not only to support a motivated student in order to improve their results, but also to make them want to overcome their difficulties by approaching them in a didactic, progressive and human way.

Holder of a Master's degree in Medical Biology from the University of Lausanne, I have several experiences in research as well as in the pharmaceutical industry. Several months of stay in the United Kingdom as well as a predominantly English-speaking university course and work environment allowed me to perfectly master this language.

I offer my support at different levels thanks to my training and professions:
Mandatory school :
- All scientific subjects (biology, chemistry, mathematics)
- English (spelling, grammar, vocabulary, oral and written communication)
- French (spelling, grammar, vocabulary, oral and written communication)
- If necessary, support in another branch can be discussed upon prior request.

Gymnasium:
- All levels of biology
- English (spelling, grammar, vocabulary, oral and written communication)
- French (literary analysis, dissertation)
- If necessary, support in another branch can be discussed upon prior request.

The lesson can be given at home or in any other quiet public place if this will facilitate the learning process.
