About Me

A little introduction about myself:

1) I am a native Mandarin speaker, born in Guangzhou, China.
2) I have been living in French speaking countries for more than 7 years ( France and Switzerland). I also passed the highest foreign language test of French: DALF C2.
3) I speak fluently English as I've grown up in an international environment.
4) I was graduated with honors from Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne (Ranked as the best hospitality school in the world) holding a degree of Bachelor of Science in International Hospitality Management.
5) I've been doing touristic-related translation and interpretation since 2016.

Here are the Chinese courses I provide:
1) Standard Chinese: suitable for beginners to advanced students who have a long-term learning plan on Chinese learning or need to attend a Chinese exam HSK.
2)Spoken Chinese: Suitable for beginners to advanced students who want to mainly focus on communication skills.
3) Business Chinese: Suitable for beginners to advanced students who want to establish their business in China or have Chinese partners.
4) Children Standard Chinese: Suitable for kids up to 4 years old or teenagers who are interested in discovering Mandarin and Chinese culture.
5)Chinese to travel: Get ready to travel and survive in China

I am also a French tutor. What are my competitive advantages ?
After 7 years living in French Speaking countries as a foreigner and passed the most difficult French language test, I can explain French grammar and syntax in a way that MAKES SENSE to a foreigner. I can instinctively understand what you're struggling with, because I've been where you've been years ago.

I offer different course programs adapted to each level:
1) General French (A1-C2) & Business French
2)Preparation for DELF & DALF exams ( From level A1-C1)
3) French for kids ( Minimum at 4 years old ) / teenagers
4) French to travel -ready for traveling this romantic country ?

Education

I am graduated from Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne. I had studied interpretation at University of Paris 10. Now I work for an international organization in Lausanne.

Chinese (mandarin) lessons for adults and kids of all levels
I have been giving chinese lessons for more than 10 years. Before that, I was a radio broadcaster and a journalist in China, hence I have a perfect pronunciation of the official mandarin, without any accent. It provides my students the best conditions to learn chinese, as the tone you give to words when you speak chinese as a foreigner is of great importance if you want to be understood by natives. I have a strong working experience helping students preparing their HSK exam, I also often teach diplomats, to help them acquire the necessary skills and understand properly the vocabulary specific to their job. I also love to work with kids, as I was a mandarin teacher for 2 years in an international school in Singapore. I give them a playful learning environment and use fun learning methods, so even the youngest can stay focused!

Camille

Elise
French private lessons by university graduate in Letters
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 technology to improve your French. Lessons with a certified native teacher.
TECHNOLOGIES FOR LEARNING. Hey, My name is Laurie and I am an independent FLE teacher, graduated in French and Romance Languages and Literatures since 2012. I have five years of experience under my belt (abroad and in Belgium). I created LangMethod, a learning method for online courses. The course includes: -The material (articles, videos, exercises from images and texts, grammatical theory, links to the exercises...). I use Google Doc so it's best to have a Gmail address to access it. -The correction of exercises outside of class (the written expressions are corrected outside of class, or with the student, according to his needs). -Access to an application (free) to study vocabulary on your smartphone. -A vocabulary sheet - pronunciation - grammar / conjugation, sent after each course. -If necessary, a vocabulary recording (for beginners). -The realization of online exercises and tests from the sent vocabulary sheets. -Motivation, laughter, good mood :-) My method: - It's based on speaking. -For grammar I use a question/answer method (learned during the training at the CERAN center). -We work on pronunciation with the verbotonal method (exercises for setting your voice, for rhythm, etc.). I might even make you sing! :-) -Everything goes through the spoken word before the written word, but I clearly adapt to the needs of the students. -The course is a little different for children and adolescents: I use interactive games and cards via webcam. See you soon! Laurie NB: Possibility to create an invoice for private individuals or companies.

Jean-Luc
Philosophy and French. Reflection and expression. Openness and rigor.
Philosophy lessons: in the context of individual training, the teaching of philosophy contributes to the development of sensitivity, fine judgment, logic and personal responsibility, but not only. These qualities indeed take a major place in the understanding, even in the adequacy of the man and the society, at the same time by the recognition of different cultural and social horizons and by the essential contribution of the movement of the thought philosophical, which is determined by the exercise of conversion and the logical effort of thought. French lessons: education requires listening, understanding, and presence. It is from this aspect, characteristic of pedagogical support, that the link with the objectivity of acquired knowledge and technical content must emerge. Thereby, within the framework of an individual training, it is a question of combining the writing, the reading, the spelling, the grammatical logic with the aspirations specific to each one. Because learning French can be a joy for those who find an interest in the game of communication.

Lyria
TEACHER with a Bachelor’s degree in Primary Education from HEP Vaud
My courses are designed based on student difficulties and/or training objectives. It is possible to schedule several courses for a specific exam or to organize an academic support program throughout the year. My lessons adapt to the disciplinary area, the level of the student but also their personality. I teach in an active and dynamic way to interest and motivate my students.

Luna
Student at the gymnasium who offers your child help with homework, learning to work and getting organized.
After having myself finished compulsory school in Vaud in the pre-gymnasium course with very good exam results, I offer your child different working methods in order to find the one that will be the right one for her or for him. It is not always easy to learn to memorize German vocabulary, to organize oneself, to express oneself in writing or even to not lose one's means in the middle of the test, which is why I will do my best to communicate, discuss, share the different techniques that have been beneficial to me during my schooling. The idea is to bring my help to your child but above all to give him the means to succeed by himself or by herself. Talk about how to find motivation, stress management and of course organization in general. As for my background, I took the Italian option for three years in secondary I, a language that I already spoke a little in my family. I am someone who appreciates literature and expression in the three languages that I master the most, that is to say; Italian, English and French of course. I offer lessons of one to two hours depending on your child's needs, at your home (in Lausanne) or at the library of La Sallaz as well as that of La Riponne.
