Personalized tutoring in Montreux and Pully

My personalized tutoring lessons are a great help in enabling my students to progress with confidence. I provide them with tailored learning methods. After easily identifying their areas of weakness, I assist them in consolidating their knowledge and achieving all the objectives required by their teachers in public or private schools.

I have two educational support locations available for my students:
Avenue de Lavaux (since 04.01.21)
Rue du Lac (since 01.09.22)

In addition to this, I offer pre-entry courses, ECR preparation courses, school coaching, and language courses.
My private lessons are suitable for DYS/ADD students as well as highly proficient (HP) students. I also collaborate with other teachers for certain more specialized subjects.

All lessons can be conducted either individually or in small groups of 2 to 4 students.

About Me

I am a bilingual teacher of languages (French and English).
I have over 15 years experience teaching children, teenagers, and adults of all ages and backgrounds.

I am the founder of the Culture NetWorld methodology and I run my own bilingual publishing company based in Montreux.
I am also the author and illustrator of bilingual audio story books and activities, designed to help children and primary schools learn/ teach a language, level A1 of the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).
I also design teaching resources to help other teachers who teach French as a Second Language, through the Times Educational Supplement.

I have taught in all types of schools (Private, International, Bilingual and Language Schools). What makes a good school? The teachers who are committed to help their students reach their best. I am one of those teachers.

I have reached a top level of experience and I now offer private tuitions to help people in my area learn French. I have also taught bilingual homeschooled children, designed their programs of study and selected the most appropriate resources in all school subjects.

I believe my experience in teaching children has made me an even better teacher to teach adults. I always offer engaging lessons, based in real life situations, while integrating the grammar, vocabulary, tenses, structures of the sentences, intonations, etc...

Don’t hesitate to contact me.

Bonjour, I am extending my services, offering ONLINE tutoring for students looking to learn: - French as a Second Language (All levels and ages) - French Literacy Skills - French for GSCE and A-Levels - French for Business - Possibility to book private lessons for primary & secondary school level in French, maths, and other school subjects. I select and send my students all the necessary material to learn and provide direct constructive feedback, as well as the possibility to send me extra written work by email for me to mark with relevant suggestions on how to further improve. I always make sure to personalize my lessons to your needs. My students are 100% satisfied and tend to achieve more than they expected. I am happy to provide you with some excellent references. Best regards, Marie-Odile
Improve your FRENCH this summer with a qualified & experienced tutor. 1. If you are here on holiday, you can easily book a few hours of private tutoring to efficiently speak French. I personalize all my lessons to suit your needs. 2. If you have just arrived from abroad and are settling in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, don't waste time: the quicker you start learning French, the easier it will be for you to settle well. 3. If you have children who are about to start the next school year in a French-speaking school, following the Swiss system, I can help them feel confident before the new school year starts. I know everything about it. 4. Whatever your reasons, I can certainly help you, no matter what your level is.
I am a qualified teacher of French (FLE) and I offer private French tuitions to individuals or small groups, ranging from beginner level A1 to advanced C2. My expertise covers improving listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. I prefer conducting lessons in well-chosen cafés or outdoors, allowing us to engage in real-life situations and interactions. I can also register my students to take recognized tests in Switzerland, such as the DELF for beginner level A2, which is often required for people applying for a C permit. Additionally, having an intermediate level B2 is advantageous when seeking jobs or university admission. If you are uncertain about your current level, I can assess it and help you define your goals (personal/business/A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2). Then, I will establish objectives within a time frame, providing a schedule and the total number of lessons. You won't need to buy any teaching materials as I will select and provide you with the best resources tailored to your needs and objectives. Between each lesson, I will give you tasks to prepare, which will serve as a starting point for the next lesson. With my experience and commitment, you will surpass your goals. Just imagine how enriching your life in Switzerland will be once you can communicate fluently in French. It's absolutely worth it, and I believe in your ability to achieve it!

Elise
French private lessons by university graduate in Letters
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.

Grégoire
French courses at all levels / mother tongue or foreign language
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

Sylviane
Math lessons for higher and lower levels, great experience, pedagogue, former engineer and teacher
Experienced and pedagogue, I have been giving private lessons for about 10 years. I am also a mathematics teacher, having completed a professional retraining in this field. I gave private lessons in international establishments such as the Collège du Léman (Versoix). I have extensive experience in scientific programs preparing for the French scientific baccalaureate, maturity or the international baccalaureate. I also ensure the follow-up of post-baccalaureate students (first year of university, BTS, etc.). I adapt to the needs and functioning of each student, as well as to their learning pace. I emphasize method, helping to clarify and memorize concepts (developing mental strategies), structuring knowledge and developing deductive reasoning. I approach my classes with patience and kindness, with the aim of meeting the specific needs of each student, helping them achieve their goals and making them appreciate mathematics, where appropriate. I am a dynamic and passionate person. I also give many online courses, especially for students preparing for the baccalaureate and maturity, as well as for adults in training with specific requests. Do not hesitate to contact me. THANKS.

Support with homework, discovery of learning strategies, support in organizing your work
Hello dear parents, Does your child need support with organizing their schoolwork? Help in discovering and implementing vocabulary learning strategies? Working on reading comprehension? Progressing in grammar or spelling? Does he need help to gain self-confidence? I am a special needs teacher. I currently work with children with autism spectrum disorders. Before becoming a special needs teacher, I was a regular primary school teacher and a special needs early education teacher. I have always had a strong interest in supporting students with special needs. I offer support for children aged 6 to 12 years old. I am a passionate, patient, attentive, encouraging, positive and caring person. I adapt to each child according to their resources and difficulties. I would be delighted to meet your child and to be able to support them and help them progress. I can either travel to Vevey or welcome your child to my home in Brent. See you soon and have a nice time. Lucia

I am certainly not an expert in the subjects, however a young teacher can have better contact with the teenager concerned :)
