I have a bachelor's degree in international relations from the University of Geneva and a master's degree in tourism from the University of Lausanne. For the past ten years, I have been giving support and/or refresher courses in different subjects during the school year and the period of long holidays (summer) and school holidays.
- languages: English and German: school level
- French language: any level
- Mathematics
- History, geography, politics, geopolitics
- Economy (college level)
- law (college level)
- help with homework
- reading
- proofreading of documents in French
- other materials on request.

I provide the course material as well as the necessary exercises and theory and any other necessary supplements for the courses.

My educational and fun method allows the student to progress quickly and in a relevant way. I give the student tips and techniques to simplify the material seen in class and make it more logical and easier to remember.

I have a lot of experience because I have been giving support classes for about ten years.

I can give individual or group lessons in Lausanne, Morges and surroundings. I can also give lessons by webcam.

Do not hesitate to contact me for any further information.

University graduate in German language and literature (Master of Letters in German with specialization in medieval languages and literature) with a solid experience, gives private German lessons for all levels.
My lessons are adapted according to the needs of the student. They aim to consolidate concepts, fill gaps, prepare for exams (maturity, compulsory school leaving certificates, entrance exams to gymnasiums and universities, Goethe Zertifikat up to B2). Opportunity to learn the language.

For school supports:

This is above all long-term work, which implies on my part taking the time to "learn how to learn" in an effective manner: every exercise is explained in detail, which can make its execution easier. slower. Quality takes priority over quantity in order to obtain optimal results over time.
Students bring their own course materials (notebooks, books, audio CDs, dictionaries, assessments, etc.).
Another important point: in order for my help to be beneficial, it is necessary that the student provides regular personal work between lessons. This essentially involves rereading your notes, repeating exercises similar to those carried out together or even moving forward in learning vocabulary.

For conversation classes:

The topics are based on interests and/or specific needs for exam preparation. I attach particular importance to pronunciation, fluency and vocabulary. I usually correct at the end of a conversation exercise with detailed feedback, in order to avoid any blockages and to work on fluency. Depending on the level of the students and/or their expectations (exam preparations/assessments/desire for improvement for example), I work on the choice of appropriate words, grammatical accuracy, the ability to formulate more or less complex sentences.

For exam preparations:

The courses offer to acquire solid tools to learn to write, to comment on literary texts and a methodology to work on oral comprehension. The student must bring their own exam preparation brochure, available in all bookstores. For Goethe Institute model exams, the exam books from Cornlesen are particularly suitable. The other alternative would be to download and print before the start of the course a copy of the Goethe Institute exam available on the institute's website.

For the oral comprehension:

Work from audio-visual viewings downloaded from the Deutsche Welle site, which offer various recordings adapted to all levels, with a very concrete approach. In the long term, the student acquires ease not only in oral comprehension, but also enriches his basic vocabulary through exercises. I also work on the Goethe Institut oral tests to familiarize myself with speaking.

For the work of the written expression:

I begin by explaining in the first lesson some methodological tools to acquire writing skills. The student has the opportunity to start writing during the course or do a writing exercise on duty and give it to me to correct (send by email or at the beginning of the next lesson). The corrections are explained in detail. In addition, at the time of booking, the student can send me a draft copy before the lesson so that I can meet his needs even more quickly.

Apart from my presence with the student, every lesson involves preparation time before and after the lesson, particularly for the work that I correct. My goal being to design an individualized course, I take the time necessary to write detailed comments on corrected work or advice to ensure maximum success for everyone.
In addition, each student can contact me at any time outside of class by email if necessary.

Feel free to contact me for more information. :)

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.


I look forward to meeting you.

If you have difficulties in German and/or English at primary, secondary, gymnasium or apprenticeship level, I can help you consolidate the basics, fill gaps and improve your language level. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in English and German at the University of Lausanne and am currently doing a Master's degree in English and German. I obtained my bilingual baccalaureate in German and I completed a long stay for English (level C2) in Dublin and a one-year university exchange for German in Berlin. (Level C2) I am happy to help you!

You never learned German? You learned it at school, but have only rather vague memories? You may have been a little "traumatized" by the school's methods, but you want to give this language another chance? You manage a little to speak, but have a lot of trouble understanding your interlocutors? Would you like to be able to understand simple texts? Would you like to overcome your fear of speaking? Would you like to have fun while studying effectively? Or all of these at once? So why not try my course.
I also offer academic support at the secondary and gymnasium level to review your basics, prepare for your tests or give you a head start over your classmates. I work with school materials and offer additional exercises and training to also give another vision of learning.

Speaking fluent German, and giving private lessons, notably at Culture Networld in Pully, I always look forward to meeting new students.

All the students I've tutored have rediscovered their enthusiasm for learning German and made rapid progress. I don't use traditional school methods. I always research each student's weaknesses so I can tailor my lessons accordingly. Of course, if the school assigns homework, tests, etc., I focus on those with my student. If they have vocabulary or verbs to learn, I don't expect them to memorize them instantly. We review what they need to learn, and then I plan activities around it to help the concepts stick in their minds.

Hello! My name is Kyra, and I am a motivated and dedicated German tutor offering personalized lessons for students of all levels, from beginner to advanced.

I studied German for 7 years in school and continue to maintain and develop my skills independently. In addition, I had the opportunity to spend a full year studying in Germany, where I immersed myself in the language and culture. This experience allowed me to develop strong communication skills and gain real-life exposure to the language and culture.

As a student myself, I understand the challenges of learning a language and know how to explain concepts in a simple, clear, and effective way. I am passionate about helping others progress and gain confidence in developing German skills through structured and engaging lessons.

I have a few years of experience in tutoring students in mandatory school, where I supported them in improving their grammar, reading, writing, and speaking skills, as well as helping with homework and exam preparation.

My lessons are tailored to your individual learning goals. Through one-on-one lessons, I can adapt my teaching methods to suit your learning style and help you progress at your own pace.

I'm excited to get to know you and create a positive and enjoyable learning environment!
