Practice leads to perfection

Unless you learned to speak French when you were a child, it is difficult when you don't speak it fluently to pass for a French speaker. However, this does not prevent you from learning to speak it correctly, because it is well known that a language spoken with a foreign accent is an asset of seduction! Although it may seem complicated, learning a new language is always fun and beneficial, so it is important to practice as much as possible and above all not to give up. Take every opportunity you are given to speak the language and listen to French as soon as possible. And remember: practice leads to perfection!

Experienced French teacher, specializing in demanding and tailored support.

I work with a limited number of students to ensure rigorous monitoring and rapid results. My work is aimed at motivated students who wish to progress significantly, particularly with regard to specific objectives (exams, level advancement, transition to the Swiss system).

Each support program begins with an in-depth assessment, then is structured around a structured approach: mastery of language, writing skills, methodology and development of thinking.

The sessions are intensive, personalized, and results-oriented.

Don't remain stuck with the language of Molière: let's learn to master it with rigor and confidence.

First of all, I am keen to get to know my students. The first lesson is always led by a time for discussion around the student's personal expectations and profile. In addition, it seems absolutely crucial to me to always provide solid methodological bases to all of my learners. This is why a detour via methods specific to French exercises is systematically made with students preparing for the maturity or the baccalaureate. Then, depending on the specific needs of the student, I adapt the session and it is often structured around two moments: on the one hand, I give a lecture on a concept, an author or a literary work, and on the other hand I lead practical exercises. Finally, digital documents can be sent to the student later, this is important so that they can keep a record of our work.
Feel free to contact me for more information.

I travel to homes in the following municipalities: Geneva and its surrounding areas, Collonges-sous-Salève, Archamps, Saint-Julien-en-Genevois, Viry.
The courses can also take place by videoconference, in which case there are no travel costs.
See you soon.

I like to teach by emphasizing lively and interactive sessions (in the form of interactions, video or film extracts, reading, etc.) which makes learning less boring!

The idea is first of all to (re)gain confidence and to find together the right method(s) of learning and memorization for everyone, because it is sometimes hard to find your way around. in the intense rhythm of school/professional life!
