I taught History, Geography and History of Arts in French high schools for almost 10 years. A qualified teacher (Agrégation d'Histoire), I have a lot of experience teaching teenagers, and I can help students who learn French as a foreign language, as well as francophone students from LFZ.

I am a French teacher assistant in Zürich with 3 years of experience, teaching French at different level (from A1 to C2) and helping my student to pass their exams (DELF - DALF). I would like to offer you my service. If you are interested, please, do not hesitate to contact me.
Looking forward to hearing from you
Cécile

I am happy to help you learn the French language: 📚written or 🎤🎧oral or both. It depends on your needs.

I follow the institut Français programmes to design my course.
Through videos, audios, images, texts, songs, stories... learners will learn how to listen, speak, read, and write in French.

You will be comfortable and motivated. There will be no stress or routine. I am patient and a good listener.

If you want to improve your French skills, or you have an exam or homework, contact me💐 🏵️

Through an approach based on my personal experience and the cases that I have already treated, I offer you:

- a (free) one-hour session, intended to learn about your personal/professional context
- if I judge that I am able to contribute to an improvement in your situation, according to criteria defined by you, we will plan the coaching sessions

Self-confidence, once it is (re)found, is projected onto all aspects of our life. Personal, emotional well-being, or what we project in a professional context.

It is based on a set of mechanisms, interdependent themes (physical form, sleep, diet, the structure of our time, our habits, the way we manage our relationships, our passions, etc.) .

My approach is not therapeutic, I will only focus on the elements of which I have effective experience and will direct you, if necessary, towards professionals able to take care of the elements requiring a specific approach/therapist.

I attach absolute importance to the confidentiality of our discussions, and will always leave you the initiative to schedule the next session.

¡Hola! 🌄 Do you want to learn the language of the sun, paella and flamenco? You've come to the right place! 🌞

🌎 Because Spanish isn't just a language, it's a global celebration. You'll learn everything from "holas" to "olé!" like a true Spanish speaker. Get ready for fun conversations, local expressions and secrets you won't find in books.

🎉 Classes for everyone: Are you a beginner? Perfect, we'll start with the basics. Do you already know a little? Great! Let's polish it up so you can conquer any conversation!

🤝 Book your class and start speaking Spanish as if you've been doing it all your life!

My method is based on understanding the learners' needs and making progress through positive reinforcement and helpful corrections. It's important to me to convey confidence and a sense of joy in learning, as these are crucial for long-term learning success.
Flexibility in content depending on your needs.
With my students, I try to apply the same method that helps me learn languages: total language immersion, meaningful repetition, and consistent, effective progression. I focus on the content that is truly useful for language learning. No useless vocabulary lists or attention to unimportant details.

With 20 years of experience and certifications in Spain and the UK, I offer dynamic, tailored lessons to help professionals improve their communication skills.

🚀 Next-level learning
My classes feel like a high-quality YouTube stream, with crystal-clear video and audio, where you are the main character of your language journey.

I’ve worked with universities, private institutions, and elite athletes, adapting to busy schedules and specific goals.

🎯 Ready to start? Let’s go!

Hi, I'm Michael. I'm from Switzerland but I spent most of last year in Brazil, where I was doing research for my PhD in history and where I was once again in the position of learning a foreign language – a valuable experience for any language teacher. Languages are my passion, whether learning or teaching them.

I have over 10 years of experience in teaching German as a foreign language on the most diverse level, in language schools, high schools and even a prison. Thus I can offer tailor-made individual classes. The pillar of my practice-based method is that the students use the language on topics and situations that are really important for them, be it daily-life situations or specific topics they need vocabulary for. Of course, grammar explanation and practice is important, too. And there is also a place for fun, through learning games, German songs etc.

Intensive French courses based on a diplomatic method, adapted to the specific needs of each student. Training for professionals from the European Parliament, the CJEU and UNESCO. Programs covering all levels (A0-C2), business French, economics and European institutions.

Online French courses

My name is Maciej. I am a linguist, polyglot and owner of the international language school Partout Languages. My courses are oriented towards intensive learning, based on a diplomatic method. I train, among others, EU staff (European Parliament, Court of Justice of the European Union), entrepreneurs and public figures.

Here are some of our accomplishments:
• Help a diplomat from the Legal Service of the European Parliament to reach level C1 in just 6 months, starting from level B1,
• Accompany a lawyer Mr. SERAFIN to reach DELF B2 level in 10 months, starting from scratch, with a view to a specialized course at the University of Orléans.
• Design training for the international banking sector of EIF Bank on French phonetics and phonology.
Other testimonials can be read on the website of my school Partout Languages, all authenticated by the students' signatures and their Linkedin profiles.

I specialize in diplomatic French lessons, public speech preparation and accent correction. However, I am open to anyone who wants to learn French, whether adults who want to progress for their personal development or young students.

My training :
• Specialized courses in French in Paris – grammar, linguistics, syntax, history of French literature (Paris-Diderot University);
• Fluent in English (Cambridge Proficiency Certificate C2) and advanced level proficiency in German (Goethe Zertifikat B2), which allows me to teach French in combination with English and/or German;
• Experience in international institutions (UNESCO) and interventions in countries requiring humanitarian aid, notably Syria, Lebanon and Iraq;
• Since 2019, I have been focusing on the development of language services within the Partout Languages school (levels A0-C2+).

How are the lessons going?
From the very first consultation, I offer you a teaching program that is fully tailored to your goals. During the first lesson, we define your goals together and then consistently achieve them. I do not exert any unnecessary pressure, I am always there to motivate you positively – all my attention is focused on your needs. During the lessons, we use various materials, many of which are completely personalized and prepared only for you. The pace of the lessons and their program are adjusted to your needs, while creating a calm and relaxed atmosphere.

Thank you for taking the time to read my offer! I look forward to chatting with you in French very soon! :)

Hello

My name is Claire, and academic support has been at the heart of my work for several years. I hold a Master’s degree (Master 2) in Educational Sciences and have specialized in helping students with a variety of learning profiles, whether they are experiencing a temporary block or have ADHD, are gifted (HPI), or have learning difficulties such as dyslexia or other “dys” disorders.

Why This Specialization?

Some students learn intuitively—their curiosity and their unique way of thinking make every session stimulating. Through my experience, I’ve worked with many students who, despite strong abilities, face challenges within the traditional school system.

Several factors can explain these obstacles:

• Around 30% of students have an “atypical” profile (ADHD, gifted, dys disorders...). These students each have their own way of understanding new concepts. They often need hands-on experiences, repetition, reformulation, or visual aids to make sense of information.

• A lack of self-confidence: No student is “non-academic.” However, repeated difficulties can lead to a loss of motivation and a feeling of failure. For example, a child struggling with reading might dread reading aloud in class for fear of stumbling over words in front of classmates. This can lead to avoidance and reinforce the difficulty.

• Understanding how we learn is key: Learning to understand oneself and identify what works is an essential step—but not always easy without guidance. A student might struggle with multitasking. Without recognizing this challenge, it’s difficult to develop strategies to complete exercises or assessments under good conditions.

Why Private Tutoring?

I’m often asked: why not teach in a classroom?

I enjoy working with a variety of ages and levels. I truly see the benefits of one-on-one tutoring, where I can quickly identify what’s not working and adapt right away. Every student helps me grow in my methods and knowledge—it’s a truly enriching exchange.

As a mother myself, I also understand how hard it can be for parents to manage their child’s schooling. Being a parent is not the same as being a teacher. The reality of family dynamics often doesn’t allow for that role. And yet, students who struggle in school often need support with specific methods—outside the classroom setting.

What kind of support do I offer?

1. Targeted support (primary & middle school): to overcome a specific difficulty (reading, spelling, math, English, etc.).

2. Ongoing academic support: weekly sessions throughout the year to strengthen skills and organization.

3. Special preparation: help with oral presentations, public speaking, and customized evaluations.

4. Early childhood learning: introduction to reading, sounds, and numbers.

5. Reading acquisition: step-by-step support for fluent reading and solid comprehension.

Methods and Tools

1. Creation of personalized teaching materials

I don’t rely only on textbooks or ready-made resources. I create customized lesson materials, broken down into clear steps and perfectly suited to each student. The goal is for the student to leave each session with a clear, structured handout to help with memorization and review. Since knowledge is interconnected, I often combine subjects based on yearly goals.

2. Tailored evaluations and progress tracking

• I use evolving assessments to track progress and adjust learning methods.

• Exercises progress in difficulty to build long-term understanding and confidence.

3. Structured sessions and work organization

I often recommend two sessions per week. This allows a concept to be introduced, absorbed, and reused while maintaining a steady rhythm.

Example of a French lesson:

• Session 1: 30 min on a key concept, 15 min of work planning, 15 min of practice exercises.

• Session 2: 20 min review, 40 min of reading and text comprehension.

This approach avoids cognitive overload and supports progressive, effective learning.

4. Building independence

Beyond knowledge, I teach students how to be more organized:

• How to structure their notes to ease revision.

• How to plan study time to avoid last-minute cramming.

• How to manage time and stress during tests and supervised work.

We also work on strategies to avoid careless mistakes, quickly understand instructions, and manage time effectively during exams.

Pricing and Follow-up

Over the years, I’ve learned how important it is—especially for students with ADHD—to leave each lesson with a written, organized summary. These students often struggle to synthesize what was covered in class or extract the essentials.

A two-part pricing structure

Each session includes two essential components:

1. The lesson with the student—a time for active learning and exchange.

2. Preparation beforehand, which is crucial to tailor the session to the student’s unique needs.

What does this provide?

• Truly personalized follow-up

• Flexible teaching: lesson content and duration adjust to progress and challenges.

• In-depth work: crafting tailored resources takes time but is key to an effective session.

Let’s be honest: I’m not Mary Poppins :) Learning takes time, patience, and effort. I don’t have magic powers—but I do have a clear goal: to help each student become more independent in their learning, in a structured and supportive environment that empowers them to overcome their difficulties.

¡Hola! I'm a native Spanish speaker, a psychologist specialized in music therapy, and a certified Spanish teacher.
If you’re looking for engaging, motivating and truly effective lessons, you’re in the right place!
My classes are dynamic, personalized, and designed to make you enjoy the process of learning Spanish.
Together we’ll work on grammar, speaking, listening, vocabulary, and pronunciation in a practical and fun way, always adapted to your goals and level.
I combine my background in psychology and music therapy with language teaching techniques to create a unique learning experience that keeps you confident, relaxed, and excited to learn more.
Whether you're a complete beginner or want to improve fluency, I will guide you step by step.
I’d love to help you reach your Spanish goals—let’s start this journey together!

👨‍🏫 About me

¡Hola! I’m Aleu, a native Spanish speaker with an international background, currently based in Zurich. I’ve lived, studied, and worked in different countries, which allows me to teach Spanish in a practical, modern, and very relatable way, especially for people who want to actually use the language in real life.

I understand what it’s like to learn languages as an adult, adapt to new cultures, and communicate confidently in professional and social settings. My lessons are dynamic, clear, and tailored to each student’s goals, pace, and interests.

📚 About the lessons

Each lesson is fully personalized. I combine structured grammar and vocabulary with real-life conversation, focusing on fluency, pronunciation, listening, and natural expression. Whether you’re a complete beginner or already advanced, I help you feel comfortable speaking Spanish from day one.

What you can expect:

Real conversation practice to build confidence and fluency

Clear grammar explanations applied immediately in context

Spanish for daily life, travel, relocation, or professional use

Pronunciation and accent support

Cultural insights through real examples, media, and everyday situations

Friendly, motivating lessons with practical takeaways

A short “conversation challenge” at the end of each session to reinforce learning

👥 Want to learn with someone else?
Group lessons (2+ people) are available—perfect for friends, couples, or colleagues who want a fun, effective, and affordable way to learn together.

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.

I taught History, Geography and History of Arts in French high schools for almost 10 years. A qualified teacher (Agrégation d'Histoire), I have a lot of experience teaching teenagers, and I can help students who learn French as a foreign language, as well as francophone students from LFZ.

👨‍🏫 About me

¡Hola! I’m Aleu, a native Spanish speaker with an international background, currently based in Zurich. I’ve lived, studied, and worked in different countries, which allows me to teach Spanish in a practical, modern, and very relatable way, especially for people who want to actually use the language in real life.

I understand what it’s like to learn languages as an adult, adapt to new cultures, and communicate confidently in professional and social settings. My lessons are dynamic, clear, and tailored to each student’s goals, pace, and interests.

Group lessons (2+ people) are available—perfect for friends, couples, or colleagues who want a fun, effective, and affordable way to learn together.

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.
