About Me

Associate Professor of History, I taught for 7 years in France, in various high schools in the Paris region and at the Lycée International de Luynes (Aix-en-Provence). I was in charge of the European classes as well as the students of the British International Section (OIB). So I have not only the experience of high school requirements, but also the habit of international students, expatriates, bilinguals, etc., whose needs are sometimes specific, especially with regard to their link with their (s) culture (s) of origin and their orientation after the baccalaureate.
My training in History naturally led me to the teaching of History-Geography, but I also studied Philosophy at the Sorbonne. Besides, having taught in Great Britain and the United States, I have a perfect command of English.
I also have experience teaching art in high school. A graduate of Fémis (one of the two major public film schools in France), I have always pursued activities related to cinema, alongside my teaching and research occupations. In particular, I was a member for several years of the FIDMarseille selection committee, then of the Visions du Réel festival in Nyon. In high school, I was for several years a teacher and coordinator of the History of Arts option.
Based in Zürich, I dedicate myself to teaching in a bilingual German / English establishment, to my personal artistic projects and to my children.

Hello, my name is Claire. I hold a Master’s Degree (M2) in Educational Sciences and have been supporting pupils and students for several years in French, methodology, and exam preparation.

My approach is based on two key principles:

- 100% personalized support thanks to tailor-made learning materials.
- Building autonomy and confidence through regular, structured work.

My areas of expertise:

- Exam preparation (middle school certificate, high school diploma, baccalaureate, competitive exams, oral assessments) → text commentary, literary analysis, essay writing, methodology.

- Academic organization & coaching → study planning, time management, revision methods, oral preparation.

- French (written & oral) → reading, grammar, spelling, writing, oral expression.

- Specialized support → confirmed expertise in working with ADHD, gifted (HPI), and dyslexic (DYS) profiles, using adapted methods. My role also includes a diagnostic approach: helping identify whether difficulties stem from attention issues, a particular learning profile, or simply methodological needs, in order to guide students and families toward the right tools.

Why my lessons make a difference ?

Each student benefits from a structured and personalized study plan:

1. Objectives are defined together at the start. The student receives clear goals and a detailed schedule over several weeks.

2. I create a shared online agenda, where students can track what needs to be prepared for the next session.

3. Teaching materials are sent in advance and adapted week by week.

4. Regular assessments are built into the process (after major sessions or at the end of a period, such as a trimester).

This approach allows students to:

1. Have a clear vision of their progress,

2. Gain precise benchmarks,

3. Work on both subject content and study methods within a structured framework.

Methods and tools:

- Personalized learning resources: summaries, worksheets, exercises tailored to each student’s needs.

- Regular assessments: to monitor progress and adjust methods.

- Structured organization: balance between learning concepts, practice exercises, and methodology.

- Fostering autonomy: learning how to plan revisions, organize study time, and manage stress.

A 100% online format:

- Accessible throughout Switzerland and internationally.
- Digital tools to share materials and track progress.
- Flexible scheduling and continuity, even when traveling.

Rates and support:

Each session includes two components:

1. The live online course – interactive and personalized.
2. The preparation beforehand – essential for adapting the lesson to the student.

For me, the best way to learn French is first through conversation. I believe that speaking about simple topics, personal interests, and subjects that truly motivate the student is essential. When learners talk about what they are passionate about, they feel more confident and engaged, and progress comes more naturally.
In a second step, I like to create personalized modules and materials adapted to each student. When I identify areas for improvement, I design specific exercises and activities to help them grow. However, I always keep the student’s needs and interests at the center of the learning process. My goal is to make learning French enjoyable, motivating, and meaningful.

Hi there! My name is Jana and I am excited to be your tutor! I teach English, Business English, French and Italian but my professional background is in renewable energy, sustainability and public policy. I always saw languages as a tool to open new opportunities and will be happy to guide you on your journey to fluency. Over the years, I have worked as a mentor and educator, helping students and young professionals develop their confidence, communication skills and academic or professional goals. I particularly enjoy helping people become more comfortable speaking and expressing themselves in a foreign language. As a teacher, I prefer a conversational and personalised approach. Rather than relying on textbooks, I focus on real-life communication and creating a relaxed environment where students feel comfortable practicing and making progress. If that's something that resonates with you, I will be happy to see you in my class. I can also help with exam prep for IELTS, CAE, CPE, GMAT and GRE:)

Personalised Italian lessons for complete beginners who want to build a strong foundation and start communicating with confidence.

Lessons focus on:

Essential vocabulary and everyday expressions
Basic grammar and sentence structure
Pronunciation and listening
Speaking and real-life communication
Italian for travel, work, university, or everyday life
Interactive activities and technology-based learning
Practical tasks that encourage active participation and confidence

Speaking, interaction, and technology are key elements of the lessons. You will actively use Italian throughout the class through interactive exercises, digital resources, and practical communication activities rather than simply studying rules and memorising vocabulary.

Lessons are structured, interactive, and adapted to your pace, needs, and learning goals. No previous knowledge of Italian is required.
