About Me

Polyglot, I discovered my passion for languages late at the age of 27 when I took a sabbatical to improve my English in San Francisco and learn Spanish in Peru while volunteering. I lived in Ireland for 18 months and was confronted with a multitude of accents by trips to the United States, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom and New Zealand. After Ireland, I moved to Berlin for 2.5 years. I have an excellent level in English and a very good level in German.

My experience as a language teacher has so far been almost exclusively volunteer, but with several age groups. I did homework help with children and teenagers in Peru, gave classes and workshops to migrant adults in Lausanne and taught English to Brazilian teenagers in Curitiba. I gave private English conversation classes to a young English man while living in Germany. I also gave French lessons to migrant adults in a Vaud association

German courses for beginners and tutoring

36 £ /h

You never learned German? You learned it at school, but have only rather vague memories? You may have been a little "traumatized" by the school's methods, but you want to give this language another chance? You manage a little to speak, but have a lot of trouble understanding your interlocutors? Would you like to be able to understand simple texts? Would you like to overcome your fear of speaking? Would you like to have fun while studying effectively? Or all of these at once? So why not try my course.
I also offer academic support at the secondary and gymnasium level to review your basics, prepare for your tests or give you a head start over your classmates. I work with school materials and offer additional exercises and training to also give another vision of learning.

Learn English with pleasure and efficiency for levels A1 to B2

Polyglot, especially passionate about the English language, I wish to transmit my knowledge to learners from 13 years. I do not have a predefined method, we will define together that you want to refresh old knowledge or you are already well advanced. However, I try to give the course a maximum in English and like to vary the teaching aids, books, videos, songs, etc ... I learned English everywhere, but having a clear preference for British English, my vocabulary is leaning on that side. Finally, only one word: FUN, because learning a language must be a pleasure

Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research

The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.

For help with writing:

The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.

For analyzes of oral literary texts:

In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.

For the corrections of end of studies work:

so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.

Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.

For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.

For adults (FLE):

In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).

The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.

Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

➤ Learn French with a successful technique: the main objective is to acquire bases or improve your level in French (written & oral: pronunciation, comprehension, language construction, communication, conjugation, grammar & vocabulary). It is also to understand the cultural specificities of Switzerland & France.

➤ Whether it is for work or leisure, the classes are adjusted to the initial diagnosis and to your needs.

➤ The method focuses on your own goals and:

• are adjusted to your own rhythm, with (funny) oral and writing exercises
• help to improve your everyday/practical skills
• on interactivity: you learn much more quickly with private sessions and you develop listening and vocabulary skills in an effective way
• these classes are customized courses to create an environment adjusted to each person, to meet your individual needs & requirements, and to learn French effectively.

➤ Statistically, you will be able to notice that you have progressed with these private classes, after 2 or 3 classes (based on our 2023 survey).

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!

Homework help allows students to have additional help when they encounter difficulties at school. This allows for more regular monitoring with the student who is no longer drowned in the mass of the class, it is an excellent way to help your child progress who will have special monitoring.

My experience allows me to adapt to the needs of each student.

I offer to give French lessons to your children. Holder of a Master MEEF (teaching, education and training), I worked in a CM1 / CM2 class in France (9 to 11 years old). With my training I have the capacity to teach a baccalaureate level.

I speak French and English fluently, which also allows me to help with homework in both languages.

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.

These courses will help students improve their exam preparation. Regular practice will allow them to feel more confident facing monthly tests. Consequently, their grades will improve, as will their overall average before exams.
I personalize the work plans according to academic requirements but also to the student's strengths.
Since "Writing" represents 50% of the points for the ECR and the certificate of studies, we work on this point with great care.
