As a Master's student in French as a Foreign Language (FLE) at the University of Geneva and a teacher of adult migrants, both in the associative (Red Cross) and professional contexts, I am committed to offering caring, dynamic courses focused on your needs. My goal? For you to learn with pleasure and regularity, in a relaxed, motivating, and respectful atmosphere. Learning a language requires rigor, but also pleasure and curiosity.

I offer online French as a Foreign Language courses tailored to adult learners, from beginners to intermediate levels (A0-A2). If you wish to develop skills beyond A2, that's also possible. Feel free to share your needs with me, and I will adapt accordingly. My courses are based on practical activities that go beyond the textbooks you find in stores. All materials are created or sourced and adapted to your level, needs, objectives, and learning preferences (speaking, writing, reading, grammar, games, practice, homework, or a combination of these). You will learn with materials that closely reflect real-world situations. The first meeting is a 15-30 minute discussion (also available in English, German, and Russian) to define your expectations and choose a learning method that suits you best!

2023:
Tutor of Dutch at Varady Language school in Geneva

2021-2022:
I worked at "bijlesthuis," a Dutch tutoring institution, where I primarily taught French, Dutch, and English to adult learners seeking to improve their language skills. During the same period, I also provided classes to other students through Apprentus.

2021:
Through Apprentus and other websites, I assisted several younger students (ages 5-15) in Bern and Geneva, helping them improve their skills in subjects such as Maths and French.

2017-2020:
I worked for three years at a tutoring institution in Geneva called ARA, where I primarily taught French, Mathematics, and English.

French is one of the most influential languages in the world. Knowing how to speak, read and write it while understanding the significant accuracy of the words used is an asset that unfortunately very few master.
My lessons are based on my student's expectations, the areas in which he wants to work will be implemented.

You will learn French, English and Spanish language and literature. I teach Russian level A2-B1.
Classes will be at my home or online.
I can prepare you for levels b2-c1-c2. I am a teacher to high school, college and university students

I help with homework and give remedial lessons for CO and College students in all subjects except German and mathematics. I am patient, attentive and pedagogue; I adapt my method to the person to whom I am giving a lesson, I look for personalized ways to give meaning to the subject matter that poses the problem. I travel to the student's home, I can also receive the student at my home or give the lesson by webcam.

During my years of schooling in the orientation cycle and at college in Geneva (2002-2009) I too encountered difficulties and worked a lot with coaches and coaches; that's how I "learned to learn", gained self-confidence and obtained my gymnasium certificate with distinctions. I then continued my studies until obtaining a Master's degree in Visual Art in Glasgow in 2018. After several years of training and work in the United Kingdom (Glasgow and London) I have been back in Geneva for more one year. In 2021-22 I was a substitute in various cycles and colleges in the Canton of Geneva, and today I want to focus on private lessons with students who need them.

The French conversation courses are the best to improve your fluency in French and practice conversational French for daily activities. It is a very appropriate conversational French course if you already have some basic knowledge of the language and if you are an expat in a French speaking country. Classes are held on ZOOM, they can be individual or up to a group of four learners. Topics usually follow the actual trends, news and daily life activity.
Online French conversation classes packages includes :
• Documents in order to work on the topic (.pdf)
• Notes of the class with vocab, grammar points and cultural facts
• Audio of the speaking final task of the French conversation class

Debate and argumentation French courses for DELF and DALF
It is a very specific French conversation class specially create to prepare you for the speaking part of the exam DELF B2, DALF C1 and DALF C2. Classes are held on ZOOM, they can be individual or up to a group of four learners. Topics and the problematics worked during this debate and argumentation courses are exactly the one expected for the DELF B2, DALF C1 or DALF C2 exams.
Debate and argumentation French courses packages includes :
• Documents in order to work on the topic (.pdf)
• List of arguments, notions and ideas around the problematic
• Notes of the class with vocab and cultural facts

First of all, I am keen to get to know my students. The first lesson is always led by a time for discussion around the student's personal expectations and profile. In addition, it seems absolutely crucial to me to always provide solid methodological bases to all of my learners. This is why a detour via methods specific to French exercises is systematically made with students preparing for the maturity or the baccalaureate. Then, depending on the specific needs of the student, I adapt the session and it is often structured around two moments: on the one hand, I give a lecture on a concept, an author or a literary work, and on the other hand I lead practical exercises. Finally, digital documents can be sent to the student later, this is important so that they can keep a record of our work.
Feel free to contact me for more information.

I travel to homes in the following municipalities: Geneva and its surrounding areas, Collonges-sous-Salève, Archamps, Saint-Julien-en-Genevois, Viry.
The courses can also take place by videoconference, in which case there are no travel costs.
See you soon.

I can travel to the student's home or provide lessons at their residence. I specialize in the Swiss Federal Maturity Certificate (Matura) and Swiss Federal Maturity Certificate levels.

I provide support in all subjects, although French and languages are my specialty.

Having already completed several years of tutoring, I have a great capacity for adaptation, and above all, we will build the pace of the tutoring together according to your needs. Furthermore, my experience as an older sister has taught me how to create a reassuring and motivating environment for learning and education.

Each session is fully personalized:

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.
