For those of you who are older, I can help you in every way:
- Business English (professional English, to shine in front of your boss and in social situations!)

- Academic support (literature, verbal practice)

- Preparation for travel abroad. I am currently providing highly personalized preparation for two adults who did not speak English and are going to Scandinavia. This requires allowing a few months for preparation.

My name is Noreen, I'm a second-year bachelor's student at HEC Lausanne, and I tutor elementary school students. I'm passionate about sharing the many learning techniques I've developed, and I would be delighted to use them to help students progress with confidence. Patient and calm by nature, I don't hesitate to rephrase or re-explain concepts several times so that each student can understand at their own pace. Lessons can be conducted in either French or English, depending on your needs. I look forward to meeting you and discussing your goals!

English in Secondary I/II is often the time when students must move from basic vocabulary to a true mastery of grammar and expression. It is also the time when some begin to fall behind, due to a lack of regular practice outside of school.
I offer private English lessons for Secondary I students, level A2 to B1. We work on grammar (verb tenses, structures, prepositions), thematic vocabulary, written expression (compositions, emails) and oral expression (conversation, pronunciation, listening comprehension).
I have a B2 level in English and I use it regularly. Lessons can be structured around the student's textbook, or take the form of freer conversation practice for students who need to gain fluency.
My approach is practical: fewer rules to memorize, more real-life situations. Language is learned by practicing it, and it's through making mistakes that we progress. I adapt to each student's level and pace.

I was introduced to Chinese calligraphy from an early age through my family's long-standing tradition and cultural heritage. This foundation allowed me to develop a deep appreciation for Chinese calligraphy as both an art form and a reflection of Chinese culture, history, and philosophy.

For the past eight years, I have been teaching Chinese calligraphy in Switzerland to students ranging from 4 years old to adults, from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. My classes focus not only on handwriting techniques but also on cultivating an understanding of the rich cultural traditions behind the art.

I was introduced to Chinese calligraphy at a very young age thanks to the long tradition and cultural heritage of my family. This foundation allowed me to develop a deep admiration for Chinese calligraphy, both as an art form and as a reflection of Chinese culture, history, and philosophy.

For the past eight years, I have been teaching Chinese calligraphy in Switzerland to students ranging in age from four to adulthood, from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. My courses focus not only on writing techniques but also aim to develop an understanding of the rich cultural traditions that underpin this art.

得益于家族悠久的传统和文化遗产,我从小便接触中国书法。这一基础使我能够深领略中国书法作为一种艺术形式,以及作为中国文化、历史和哲学的体现所蕴含的深厚价值。

过去八年来,我在瑞士教授中国书法,学生年龄从4岁到成年人不等,来自多元的文化和语言背景。我的课程不仅注重书写技巧,更致力于培养学生对这门艺术背后丰富文化传统的理解。

A serious student in high school, I always felt comfortable in school, particularly in math, French, and English. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and have already helped classmates improve in these subjects.

I offer personalized support tailored to each student's needs: reviewing the school curriculum, homework help, test/exam preparation, or simply reinforcing the fundamentals. I adapt my method to each student's pace, with great patience. The goal is for the student to truly understand, not just memorize.

Available this summer and flexible with hours. Feel free to contact me to discuss your child's specific needs.

Passionate about English language and culture, I offer English lessons for all levels, whether it's to progress at school, prepare for an exam, gain confidence in speaking, or simply rediscover this language with pleasure.
I am currently completing my Master's degree in English literature and poetry at the University of Lausanne (UNIL), having successfully completed all my courses. This program has allowed me to develop a solid command of English, both written and spoken, as well as a real rigor in analysis and argumentation — skills that I enjoy passing on to my students, whether it is for traditional academic support or more advanced guidance in literature (essays, poem analysis, preparation for the baccalaureate or the gymnasium).
My method: I always start with the student's level and actual needs before creating a customized learning plan. I alternate between grammar, vocabulary in context, listening and reading comprehension, and above all, plenty of speaking practice, often the most difficult aspect to work on alone. Each lesson begins with a review of what has been learned, focuses on a specific objective, and ends with clear feedback on areas that need further work.
I am patient, attentive, punctual, and I adapt my pace to each student, without judgment. For parents who entrust their child to me, I commit to providing regular updates on progress and remaining attentive to their feedback.
My courses are for everyone: secondary school students, high school students, adults wishing to improve their English for personal or professional use, or anyone curious to progress at their own pace.
Courses can be held online or in person in Lausanne, whichever suits you best. Feel free to contact me to discuss your needs and goals!

Exam Preparation: Focused training for Cambridge (PET, FCE, CAE), IELTS, or TOEFL exams.

Business & Professional English: Interview prep, resume polishing, and professional presentation skills.

Lessons can take place online, at the UNIL campus, or at a convenient location in Lausanne. Feel free to send me a message to discuss your goals. Let's make learning English enjoyable and stress-free!
