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.

For more than eight years, I have taught French and French history and civilization to students, students and adults to help them to pass the levels (from primary to mature) or exams (mature) to study it as a foreign language in order to easily communicate or obtain a certification (DELF). Depending on the situation we will study more specifically this or that component of the language: pronunciation, syntax, vocabulary, grammar, spelling, literature, dissertation, commercial writing, literary etc. For students, the goal is to help them succeed and to enjoy studying their mother tongue. And for adults, give them all the means to communicate easily in a new language and understand its context (civilization) if necessary. If you see in this announcement a possibility to help your child or to learn your own beautiful language, I am at your disposal for a first interview where we will set a detailed and adapted program. I can speak English or German if necessary (beginners) to facilitate learning

Italian is one of the most accessible languages for a French speaker: the grammar is similar, the vocabulary largely transparent, and the pronunciation logical. With a good method, one can reach a useful conversational level in a few months.
I offer Italian lessons for beginners and intermediate learners (levels A1 to B1). The curriculum includes grammar (conjugations, articles, prepositions, pronouns), everyday vocabulary, speaking, and listening comprehension. Lessons can prepare students for certification exams (CELI, CILS) or simply complement academic or personal learning.
I am familiar with the difficulties encountered at each level and the common pitfalls for a French speaker (false friends, irregularities, the subjunctive mood). I can teach both secondary school students (grades 7-9) and teenagers motivated by a personal project.
I adapt to each person's pace: some prefer a structured approach based on a manual, others learn better through conversation and gradual immersion.

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。
