About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hello everyone :)

My name is Nicolas. I was born in Geneva and grew up there until I was 25. I went to college at Emilie-Gourd where I obtained my maturity (equivalent to Bach in France). After that I took a year off during which I went to Vancouver to improve my English.

I then did a Bachelor in Geography and Environment at the University of Geneva. For my 3rd year I did an exchange in São Paulo, where I learned Portuguese.

Once I finished my Bachelor, I decided to travel around the world, with no return date. I left in February 2018 for South East Asia and spent 7 months there. In Vietnam I volunteered as an English teacher. It was then that I discovered my passion for teaching! So I followed an online training to obtain the TEFL certificate (Teaching English as a Foreign Language).

In the meantime, I returned to Brazil where I spent 7 months working there as a French and English teacher.

Back in Geneva in April 2019 I gave French lessons to more than twenty students in private, and I also worked as a substitute geography teacher in colleges.

I am now in Lausanne to do a Masters in geography at the University of Lausanne.

I offer much more than just a language course but a real exchange of culture and life experiences.

I am a very social person, calm, patient and communicative. I like challenges and new experiences.

My hobbies are skiing, kitesurfing, music, meditation and of course travel :)

Very, very great prepared with a really good sense for the level of the student. He adapts his course to your level and already had in the first lesson several ideas on how to work on each "issue". I'm very happy to learn french with him!

Intensive private French lessons for adults/children
➤ 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).

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.

The technology to improve your French. Lessons with a certified native teacher.
TECHNOLOGIES FOR LEARNING. Hey, My name is Laurie and I am an independent FLE teacher, graduated in French and Romance languages and literature since 2012. I have five years of experience under my belt (abroad and in Belgium). I have created a teaching method for online courses. The course includes: -The material (articles, videos, exercises from images and texts, grammatical theory, links to the exercises...). I use Google Doc so it's best to have a Gmail address to access it. -The correction of exercises outside of class (the written expressions are corrected outside of class, or with the student, according to his needs). -Access to an application (free) to study vocabulary on your smartphone. -A vocabulary sheet - pronunciation - grammar / conjugation, sent after each course. -If necessary, a vocabulary recording (for beginners). -The realization of online exercises and tests from the sent vocabulary sheets. -Motivation, laughter, good mood :-) My method: - It's based on speaking. -For grammar I use a question/answer method (learned during the training at the CERAN center). -We work on pronunciation with the verbotonal method (exercises for setting your voice, for rhythm, etc.). I might even make you sing! :-) -Everything goes through the spoken word before the written word, but I clearly adapt to the needs of the students. -The course is a little different for children and adolescents: I use interactive games and cards via webcam. See you soon! Laurie NB: Possibility to create an invoice for private individuals or companies.

English / French lessons while having fun - Beginner / Reinforcement
Difficulties in English or French? Learning a new language is not easy, nor is discovering a new culture. Learning is much easier when you have fun, and when the lesson is based on the child's interests. Scientific research increasingly shows that we learn better while having fun, by adapting the teaching to our tastes. For English it's the same ... if your child is a fan of Minecraft or Pokemon, manga or drawing, we will approach the subject while reviewing the notions of English acquired or in the process of being acquired.
