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.

French teacher graduated from the Agrégation d'Histoire, a former student of the Ecole Normale Supérieure Lettres & Sciences Humaines, gives classes for French or French-speaking students following their secondary education in Zurich.

In business for several years in an international high school in France, but also in higher (King's College, London, Science-Po Paris) I master perfectly the objectives and methods of the baccalaureate and post-baccalaureate issues, in France or internationally.

I offer courses for all student profiles, refresher courses in one or more subjects, advanced studies and the preparation of specific exams (eg admission tests at Sciences-Po). Help with revision, exercises, methodology, white oral, intensive pre-re-entry courses, etc., I adapt to the needs of each student.

Do not hesitate to contact me, whether for a one-off help or for a long-term supervision.

1. For Absolute Beginners (Category: Italian, Basic Grammar, Basic Conversation)
Class Title: Italian from Zero: Your First Step!
Description:
Have you always dreamed of speaking Italian? Let's start from zero together! This class is designed for those with no prior knowledge of the language.
We will learn the essential basics in a clear and enjoyable way: how to introduce yourself, order at a café, ask for directions, and use the most important verbs in the present tense.
We will use images, real-life situations, and simple conversations. Don't be afraid to make mistakes—this is the perfect place to do it! My goal is to give you the confidence to express yourself from the very beginning.

2. For Conversation and Fluency (Category: Conversation, Vocabulary, Italian)
Class Title: Let's Talk! Everyday Conversation Lessons
Description:
Do you already know some Italian but are afraid to speak? This class is for you! The goal is to improve your fluency, enrich your vocabulary, and finally overcome the fear of conversing.
We will choose topics that you are passionate about: current affairs, travel, culture, Italian cuisine, or TV series. I will gently correct you and teach you natural idioms to help you sound like a true native speaker.
Grab a cup of coffee (or tea!) and let's practice together in a relaxed atmosphere.

3. For Grammar and Precision (Category: Grammar, Academic Italian, Writing)
Class Title: The Secrets of Italian Grammar: Clear and Stress-Free
Description:
Do the subjunctive mood, reflexive verbs, and prepositions confuse you? This class will transform grammar from an obstacle into a strength.
We will tackle one rule at a time with clear explanations, practical examples, and targeted exercises. Each lesson focuses on a single topic (e.g., "The Subjunctive Today" or "Why do we say 'a me mi'?") for solid and deep learning.
Perfect for students of all levels who want to write and speak with precision and confidence.

Claire
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.
