MY NAME IS CATHERINE

I am a French teacher and a professional translator (Pedagogical University Honours Degree, 1998).

Since 2007 I have been living in Switzerland. I give private French lessons mainly to secondary school students aged 12-18. I tutor children and help them to deal with school program challenges to improve their French average grade. I also help students get ready for tests and exams. There are both junior and primary students aged 9-10. Also I teach adults French from scratch through individual learning approaches.

CHILDREN
I offer various classes for school students: with different goals and teaching tools, duration and cost.

1. Primary school program tutoring (45-60 min.)
These lessons are ideal for children who face difficulties with French classes program at school: understanding the syllabus , learning grammar rules and completing assignments. During the lessons we analyse every topic in detail, I thoroughly explain each point that causes difficulties and propose various exercises to practise.. On top of student´s school manuals additional interactive exercises will be proposed for more practice both during the lesson and as homework. To achieve good results and improvement in school marks, I recommend regular lessons once to twice a week.

2. Secondary school program tutoring (60 - 75 min.)
These lessons are designed for students who wish to have a more profound knowledge and command of French than what the school program offers. Lessons plan and materials are selected to meet the individual needs of each student. An approximate lesson plan: checking and correcting homework, learning and practising new material through formal exercises and entertaining games, (quests, quizzes, puzzles etc.). I recommend regular lessons every week (1 p. w) to achieve good results with at least one additional class right before tests at school.

3. Preparation for test and exams (60 - 90 min.)
This class is for those who only need to prepare for test and exams and don't take regular tutoring lessons. The intensity and frequency of classes depend on test/exam objectives, the student's competence and cognitive skills. On average, two to four lessons are required to get prepared for a test, and about ten lessons for an exam preparation.


ADULTS
The individual program is based on your personal goals and needs. You set your own pace, topics to cover and ultimate goals, and the teacher works out a plan for each lesson according to your needs.

The French lessons are available for all levels from beginner 0-A1 to proficiency C2.

During our lessons you will get a good language command and practice for every day communication that you can use during travel, for correspondence, informal chats and business liaisons. Moreover, you will have an opportunity to master writing, speaking and collaborative skills. You can also choose a special exam preparation program for international certificates DALF (Diplôme approfondi de langue française) and DELF (Diplôme d'études en langue française). It is possible to organize task-based speaking lessons for C1 and C2 speakers.


FAQ
WHAT ARE YOUR TEACHING METHODS?
The study programs and teaching methods are chosen for each student individually depending on the level of language skills, goals and objectives. I use French, Swiss, Canadian study materials: manuals and worksheets, video, audio and a range of interactive material. To make the most of each lesson, I use a variety of materials for modern speech practice, texts, poems, songs, games, comics - all the tools possible both to develop students' cognitive skills and develop their aesthetic taste and creativity.

During the lessons we also use various game-based learning platforms (e.g. learningapps, quizlets, kahoot) and we watch and discuss video materials from French TV channels.
