I teach adults and children of any age and any level,

The core of my approach is:

- Practice, practice, practice!
Language proficiency is not knowledge but a SKILL. Every single theoretical topic should be practiced. For that reason, all my courses are full of practical tasks.

- Having fun while learning.
Only by having fun can your studying be effective. That’s why the practical tasks of my courses are interactive games. Another crucial point is 100 % clarity of the course theory — learning objectives for every course is made clear from the start.

- Focus:
There is too much information nowadays. It’s more and more difficult to navigate through it. So it’s important to have high-quality curated information for your studies: precisely what you need to address your specific needs: a real language for real life.

- Authentic language:
My courses are free from artificial phrases that can still be found in textbooks. I provide only genuine language spoken by people in real life.

- A teacher’s mission is to inspire and to give direction, not just transfer knowledge into a student’s head.
The best result is when students can learn by themselves, and when they are motivated to use every opportunity to master a foreign language. I will readily share strategies and resources for independently studying foreign languages.

- Result vs process.
A foreign language is not about good grades. Its real purpose is to improve your life. That’s why each lesson is another step toward your better life. No unnecessary information but precisely what you need to achieve your goals.

👨‍🏫 About me

Hi!

I’m Aleu, a multilingual tutor with an international background, currently based in Zurich. I’ve lived, studied, and worked in different countries, which helps me teach Mathematics, Spanish, English, and French in a practical, clear, and relatable way.

I understand what it’s like to learn challenging subjects and new languages as an adult, adapt to new systems, and build confidence step by step. My lessons are dynamic, structured, and fully adapted to each student’s level, goals, and learning style—whether you’re preparing for exams, improving your grades, or learning for personal or professional reasons.

📚 About the lessons

Each lesson is fully personalized. I combine clear explanations with practical exercises and real-life examples to make learning efficient and motivating.

Whether you need help with Math (school or university level) or want to improve your Spanish, English, or French, I focus on understanding first, then practice, so you can progress with confidence.

What you can expect:

✔ Clear and simple explanations adapted to your level
✔ Structured practice to reinforce what you learn
✔ Support for homework, exams, and school programs
✔ Language lessons focused on speaking, listening, grammar, and vocabulary
✔ Real-life and practical applications
✔ Friendly, motivating, and patient teaching style
✔ Small challenges or exercises at the end of each session to consolidate learning

👥 Want to learn with someone else?
Group lessons (2+ people) are available, ideal for friends, classmates, or colleagues who want an effective and more 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.
