Personalized French Lessons in Zurich with a Native and Experienced Tutor

From 554.85 CNY /h

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.

Italy has a lot of charm because of its diverse culture: the language, the Renaissance, the opera music, but also Laura Pausini and the Bolognese sauce :-)

Italian, with a degree in "Languages and Literatures" (I am fluent in French, English and German), I have extensive professional experience as a language teacher.
My strengths:
- Since I am multilingual, I know all the good tips to really master a language (if I can do it, you can too!)
- I'm serious, but I also have a sense of humor. During my classes, we never get bored.
- I'm open to different solutions: I can also teach you another language at the same time (verbs in Italian and English at the same time? Compare their usage? No problem!) or even cook with you: Bolognese sauce? Why not?
Bye for now !

Hello,
I am currently studying biology at the University of Zurich. I speak english and french as mother tongues and am also fluent in german and italian. I give tutoring services in maths & science, french and english but can also tailor to more specific needs. As I have previously studied in a french international school and then passed my Maturité in a swiss "collège", I have a good understanding of these two academic systems and of their expectations. I have 4 years of experience behind me and can give classes for students at different levels, from primary school to high school. Don't hesitate to contact me for more information. I would love to help you in any possible way!

I am a native Russian speaker and have a Master's degree from the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, where I studied languages and history together with international students. Since foreign students did not possess the knowledge of the Russian language when they came to study, I worked with them as a tutor.

Thanks to this experience I know how to teach Russian to foreigners and will help you too to improve your level by applying specific methodologies. We will work on grammar and vocabulary. All lessons will be tailored exactly to your individual needs to help you progress quickly.

I look forward to meeting you!

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.
