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.

My classes are designed to help students with their homework, to help them prepare for a test by providing them with additional exercises to best guarantee their success.

I remain very attentive to my students by trying to give them all my help so that they can progress while keeping a good pace of work.

➤ 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).

Graduate psychologist and in retraining, I give tutoring lessons at your home in all subjects for a primary and college level.

I have already given during and after my studies many private lessons to students encountering temporary difficulties during the school year or by following them over the entire school year.

With my experience as a psychologist, I have knowledge on how to interact with students as well as work on their learning motivation.

I am also converting to a FLE (French as a Foreign Language) master's degree in which I am also learning how to teach knowledge to students.

I'm a student at HEC Lausanne and I love working with children. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always take the time to build a trusting relationship with them. I speak French and English fluently, which also allows me to help with homework in both languages. I can babysit, accompany children on school trips, and offer quiet or fun activities depending on their needs. My main goal is for children to feel safe, listened to, and to have a good time.

My lessons are personalized and adapted to each student's goals, level, and pace. I place great importance on communication, trust, and motivation to create a positive and effective learning environment.

--> Teaching techniques and methods:

With over 20 years of experience teaching languages, I offer structured, supportive courses tailored to each student. My goal is to help students progress with confidence and consistency.

I use a communicative approach, which emphasizes oral and written language practice. Depending on the needs, we work on conversation, grammar, pronunciation, and listening and reading comprehension.

--> Typical course structure:

A lesson typically begins with a quick review, followed by activities tailored to the student's objectives (conversation, exercises, reading or listening comprehension). I also offer a variety of learning materials to make lessons dynamic and effective.

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.

I offer personalized English lessons for children and adults, tailored to each student's level, goals, and learning pace. I have five years of experience in private language teaching, helping students of all ages improve their comprehension, speaking and writing skills, grammar, vocabulary, and self-confidence.

For children, the lessons are fun and interactive, with activities adapted to their age to make learning motivating and effective.

For adults, courses are fully customized to their needs: conversation, English for travel, academic or university support, exam preparation, professional English or general improvement.

My goal is to create a caring and motivating environment where each student can progress at their own pace and gain fluency in using English on a daily basis.

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!
