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.

The math, physics, chemistry, and SVT courses of the Swiss maturity program and gymnasium or French programs are done by either in-depth explanations or by a quick course and summary of essential needs according to the case of each student supported by exercises from the book or evaluations and exams from other high schools.
Special program for Matura and Terminales.
As well as for (students in international and European Schools in English, they can have support in Math, Physics, Chemistry and Biology).
For the start of the academic year in Switzerland, support courses for EPSU and ECUS exams.
For the first university year, support courses in Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Mechanics - Electricity - Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Biology, Geology.
My experience is too long and for years I have learned methods for each case and for each student to fill in their gaps with the best results of Excellent, Very Good, and Good as mentioned by my students.
I can also help students to better prepare for courses and support them to better prepare for the duties of CNED in science subjects.
Guaranteed response within minutes up to 10 hours maximum.

➤ 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).

🌟 Patient and passionate, I have solid experience with the EHL and HEIG-VD programs in business economics.

I myself taught mathematics in AP and Bosc 1 📚, also the business economics mathematics program of HEIG-VD (1st and 2nd years) for more than 10 years, following the book by Jean-Pierre Favre.

My approach:

👤 Personal coach: I work on your exercises, the ones that actually appear on the exam
😌 Anxiety relief: I'm demystifying math, point by point
💡 Lasting breakthrough: I help you understand the logic, not just memorize it

And it works. Many students who arrived fearful of math end up appreciating it, sometimes even loving it.

Why trust me?

As a mother of four student children (aged 18 to 24) 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, I fully understand the challenges and pressures.

Terms:

📍 In-person: for concrete explanations and direct exchanges
💻 Online: from the comfort of your home, same efficiency
📅 Hours: Monday to Sunday. Contact me to arrange a suitable time.

Proper preparation is always cheaper than repeating a year 💰.

📩 Book your first session now — places are limited, especially with exams approaching.

I offer courses adapted to all levels, whether in college, high school or bachelor's degree. My classes include homework help, exam preparation and in-depth exercises. As a former student who asked a lot of questions himself, I encourage my students to ask as many questions as possible in order to dissipate all gray areas and leave no detail to chance, thus promoting exam success. .
I firmly believe that academic success does not depend on an innate aptitude, but rather on the ability to identify weak points and work on them. As a teacher, I am attentive to these weak points by regularly asking the student questions about the meaning of the exercises and each step of the calculation. I also push my students to develop their intuition so that they can easily adapt to any problem on exam day.

I'm passionate about sharing the many learning techniques I've developed, and I would be delighted to use them to help students progress with confidence. Patient and calm by nature, I don't hesitate to rephrase or re-explain concepts several times so that each student can understand at their own pace. Lessons can be conducted in either French or English, depending on your needs. I look forward to meeting you and discussing your goals!

I offer you a new learning experience.

Academic success, even at the university level, is determined by the ability to understand and write different types of texts. I offer courses that will allow you to overcome the difficulties you encounter in reading or writing by giving you the text-writing toolkit that school, unfortunately, doesn't provide. I myself had to build this toolkit over the years at university, and I will gladly share it with you so that you can succeed.

Here are the different points that my offer covers:

READING
Guided reading
Effective reading strategies
Text theory (structure, function, typology...)
General knowledge
Communication Theory

PRODUCTION
Reformulation
Summary
Reading log
Accurate
Text analysis
Characterization
Interpretation
Text explanation
Text commentary
Dissertation Essay
Comment
Argumentation

You can take a full course with regular sessions or one-off courses to do specific work such as writing a reading summary.

Lessons can be taken individually or in groups. The methods are flexible to adapt to each individual case.

What matters to me in particular:

motivate my student and give him a learning pace;
encourage their creativity;
to awaken his curiosity;
to forge a friendship with the texts

During this first lesson, you can get a solid idea of my teaching style. I look forward to meeting you.

Hi! I'm Alec, and I'm offering German or French lessons for all levels, whether you're starting from scratch, preparing for an exam, or just want to feel more confident in everyday conversations. I'm a native German and French speaker, and after six years working in luxury hotels in Paris, St-Barthélemy, Gstaad, I'm used to communicating with people from all over the world and adapting to each person's needs and pace. That experience shapes how I teach: practical, patient, and focused on the German and French you'll actually use, at work, around town, or in social situations here in Switzerland. I can also explain things in English when that helps. Lessons are relaxed and tailored to your goals, so you'll make real progress without it ever feeling like a dry classroom.
