Personalized French lessons for lasting progress and increased confidence

From 103 C$ /h

My name is Hugo. I'm originally from southwestern France. I have a Master's degree in Logistics Management. Having recently moved to the canton of Fribourg in Switzerland, I offer personalized French lessons for children, teenagers, and adults who want to make significant progress in mastering the language. My goal is to help each student develop a solid foundation in grammar, spelling, conjugation, and written expression, while also strengthening their listening comprehension and confidence. Each lesson is tailored to the student's level, needs, and objectives: academic support, exam preparation, writing improvement, or professional development.

My method is based on a clear, structured, and progressive approach that allows for a deep understanding of the language rules and their practical application through targeted exercises. I also place great importance on pedagogy and encouragement to create a motivating and supportive learning environment. My goal is for students to progress rapidly, gain independence, and develop genuine fluency in French. Parents can therefore be assured of serious, rigorous, and results-oriented support.

Extra information

For the lessons to run smoothly, I simply ask students to bring a lined notebook, a pen, a pencil, and an eraser. Handwriting promotes memorization, understanding of rules, and lasting language acquisition. Tablets, computers, and other digital devices are therefore not necessary during the sessions, in order to maintain optimal concentration and authentic language learning. The notebook will allow students to keep track of explanations, exercises, and corrections, thus providing a clear reference for monitoring progress throughout the lessons.

About Me

Who am I?
I am passionate about the French language and about sharing knowledge. I place great importance on rigor, clarity, and the pleasure of learning. My goal is to help each student better understand how French works and gradually gain confidence, both in writing and speaking.

Why do I teach?
I teach because I enjoy supporting people, both personally and professionally, in their progress and seeing them overcome their difficulties. The French language is an essential tool for thinking, expressing oneself, and communicating. Helping someone master it more effectively is, for me, a process that is both useful, enriching, and deeply motivating.

My teaching method
My lessons are based on a structured, clear, and progressive approach. We work on grammar, spelling, conjugation, comprehension, and written expression, while also developing confidence in speaking. I also encourage handwritten practice and reflection on the language in order to promote a solid and lasting understanding.

The students I support
I work with motivated students who genuinely wish to improve, whether they are children, teenagers, or adults. My role is to create a serious, supportive, and stimulating learning environment where everyone can progress at their own pace while developing strong foundations and true independence in mastering French.

➤ 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).

Currently a fourth-year medical student at the University of Fribourg, I offer tutoring services for primary, middle, and high school students.
The idea of giving tutoring and offering to help is something I will enjoy doing. In addition, I like to share my methods and my knowledge with children and young students so that they understand and succeed as best as possible in their school tasks.

To help the student to perform and understand his homework, my methodology is the explanation with concrete situations so that the student understands and builds an image of the situation. For example, drawing in mathematics makes it possible to better visualize situations. When it comes to languages, the best is the explanation using our own words because the explanations in the manuals can sometimes be quite complex. The incomprehension of literary matters obliges to take again what one does not understand and to try to simplify it, to memorize it and to learn it in all softness and calm.

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.

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.

As a university student, I give tutoring lessons to children in compulsory school, and I also offer French lessons to adults who wish to improve alongside my studies.

The lessons are patiently adapted to your level and needs: grammar, vocabulary, conjugation, comprehension and oral or written expression.

For students, I use the school curriculum to help them gain confidence and improve their results. For adults, we define your objectives together (daily communication, writing, reviewing basics) and progress at your own pace.
