Tutor Profile

Bonjour,

My name is Sylvia and I am a French native. I was born in Paris where I studied German and English at the Sorbonne. After my studies, I moved to Zurich, where I studied at the University and got my qualifications as a French and English teacher. I still live in Zurich, an attractive city with an international flair.

For over 30 years now, I’ve been enjoying teaching adults in different professional fields, including managers posted to Switzerland, medical professionals and staff in large organizations. I teach both one to-one and in groups depending on my students’ requirements. Thanks to my other activities as a cross-cultural coach, an inter-cultural interpreter, and  during my ”free time” as an actress and producer in a French amateur theatre group, I love to transmit my enthusiasm for communication and learning languages with a touch of fantasy and fun!

I will be happy to help you achieve your goals and create a program tailored to your individual needs.

If you are studying to obtain a recognized certificate I can help you to prepare and succeed at any level because as an expert for DELF (Diplôme d’études en langue française) and DALF (Diplôme approfondi de langue française) or if your language study goals are in the field of medicine, I have the right tools and experience to prepare you optimally.

Learning French can be a fascinating and fun process if combined with a stimulating interaction and mutual understanding. I look forward to accompanying you on this path!

Being fluent in English, German and Polish, I can help if you feel comfortable with occasionally falling back on one of these languages when studying French.

A très bientôt

Sylvia
