Hello

My name is Claire, and academic support has been at the heart of my work for several years. I hold a Master’s degree (Master 2) in Educational Sciences and have specialized in helping students with a variety of learning profiles, whether they are experiencing a temporary block or have ADHD, are gifted (HPI), or have learning difficulties such as dyslexia or other “dys” disorders.

Why This Specialization?

Some students learn intuitively—their curiosity and their unique way of thinking make every session stimulating. Through my experience, I’ve worked with many students who, despite strong abilities, face challenges within the traditional school system.

Several factors can explain these obstacles:

• Around 30% of students have an “atypical” profile (ADHD, gifted, dys disorders...). These students each have their own way of understanding new concepts. They often need hands-on experiences, repetition, reformulation, or visual aids to make sense of information.

• A lack of self-confidence: No student is “non-academic.” However, repeated difficulties can lead to a loss of motivation and a feeling of failure. For example, a child struggling with reading might dread reading aloud in class for fear of stumbling over words in front of classmates. This can lead to avoidance and reinforce the difficulty.

• Understanding how we learn is key: Learning to understand oneself and identify what works is an essential step—but not always easy without guidance. A student might struggle with multitasking. Without recognizing this challenge, it’s difficult to develop strategies to complete exercises or assessments under good conditions.

Why Private Tutoring?

I’m often asked: why not teach in a classroom?

I enjoy working with a variety of ages and levels. I truly see the benefits of one-on-one tutoring, where I can quickly identify what’s not working and adapt right away. Every student helps me grow in my methods and knowledge—it’s a truly enriching exchange.

As a mother myself, I also understand how hard it can be for parents to manage their child’s schooling. Being a parent is not the same as being a teacher. The reality of family dynamics often doesn’t allow for that role. And yet, students who struggle in school often need support with specific methods—outside the classroom setting.

What kind of support do I offer?

1. Targeted support (primary & middle school): to overcome a specific difficulty (reading, spelling, math, English, etc.).

2. Ongoing academic support: weekly sessions throughout the year to strengthen skills and organization.

3. Special preparation: help with oral presentations, public speaking, and customized evaluations.

4. Early childhood learning: introduction to reading, sounds, and numbers.

5. Reading acquisition: step-by-step support for fluent reading and solid comprehension.

Methods and Tools

1. Creation of personalized teaching materials

I don’t rely only on textbooks or ready-made resources. I create customized lesson materials, broken down into clear steps and perfectly suited to each student. The goal is for the student to leave each session with a clear, structured handout to help with memorization and review. Since knowledge is interconnected, I often combine subjects based on yearly goals.

2. Tailored evaluations and progress tracking

• I use evolving assessments to track progress and adjust learning methods.

• Exercises progress in difficulty to build long-term understanding and confidence.

3. Structured sessions and work organization

I often recommend two sessions per week. This allows a concept to be introduced, absorbed, and reused while maintaining a steady rhythm.

Example of a French lesson:

• Session 1: 30 min on a key concept, 15 min of work planning, 15 min of practice exercises.

• Session 2: 20 min review, 40 min of reading and text comprehension.

This approach avoids cognitive overload and supports progressive, effective learning.

4. Building independence

Beyond knowledge, I teach students how to be more organized:

• How to structure their notes to ease revision.

• How to plan study time to avoid last-minute cramming.

• How to manage time and stress during tests and supervised work.

We also work on strategies to avoid careless mistakes, quickly understand instructions, and manage time effectively during exams.

Pricing and Follow-up

Over the years, I’ve learned how important it is—especially for students with ADHD—to leave each lesson with a written, organized summary. These students often struggle to synthesize what was covered in class or extract the essentials.

A two-part pricing structure

Each session includes two essential components:

1. The lesson with the student—a time for active learning and exchange.

2. Preparation beforehand, which is crucial to tailor the session to the student’s unique needs.

What does this provide?

• Truly personalized follow-up

• Flexible teaching: lesson content and duration adjust to progress and challenges.

• In-depth work: crafting tailored resources takes time but is key to an effective session.

Let’s be honest: I’m not Mary Poppins :) Learning takes time, patience, and effort. I don’t have magic powers—but I do have a clear goal: to help each student become more independent in their learning, in a structured and supportive environment that empowers them to overcome their difficulties.

I am a German and French language tutor based near Zurich. I have been teaching since 2022 and offer personalized lessons for students of all levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners.

My lessons are tailored to each student’s needs, whether you are learning from the start, improving your fluency, or preparing for exams. I also provide focused support for school curricula, homework help, and structured exam preparation.

I aim to make learning clear, practical, and engaging, helping students build confidence in both spoken and written German or French through consistent progress and targeted practice.

I have been giving private tutoring lessons for some time now with great pleasure – both in the past and currently I provide individual support to pupils and students in mathematics, German and law.

As a law graduate with a Master's degree, I not only bring sound specialist knowledge, but also the ability to explain complex legal issues clearly and comprehensibly.

In mathematics and German, I support you in closing gaps, specifically reviewing exam material and developing a better understanding of the subject matter – in a structured, patient manner and tailored to your pace.

I offer a programming / coding class for kids / adults.

During my lessons, I perform a full tutorial of a programming language of your choice. If you do not have a choice I generally start with python as it is the most friendly one :).

Programming is like learning another language and I am help you speak it. From my experience, going over basics takes 10 lessons on average but, of course, you are free to start and quit as you want or ask for a lesson specifically focusing on a certain aspect of programming.

If this sounds like something you or your child (or both) would be interested in, let me know :))
