Xandra is a caring, very patient and flexible teacher. She encourages you to keep trying to talk by asking open ended questions. Xandra listens and gives good feedback including pronunciation practice and some grammar. Our time passes quickly.
I can’t recommend Xandra enough. I started learning French with her from scratch, and honestly, I was pretty intimidated by the language at first. Xandra completely put me at ease. She has this great way of tailoring every lesson to my own pace, so I never feel rushed or stuck. What I appreciate most is how safe she makes the environment feel for practicing speaking—I went from being terrified to open my mouth to actually feeling confident in my conversations. She’s been such a huge support.
Alexandra is the perfect tutor. She provides an exceptional language learning experience. She is patient, kind and encouraging. She creates a safe space to make mistakes and build confidence. Alexandra is also very relaxed and very funny and brings humour to each lesson! She works closely with me to understand what I want and need to help my language learning to progres in the most effective way. Each lesson is different. We read, listen, write and talk together. Alexandra is very knowledgeable and provides deep insight into the way in which the language is constructed. At the end of each lesson I always feel so happy and encouraged which motivates me to keep learning this beautiful language with the most wonderful tutor! I am so glad that I found you Alexandra! Merci beaucoup!
I’ve taken private French conversation lessons with Alexandra, and she’s been fantastic. While I was also enrolled in a separate academic course, Alexandra helped me apply what I was learning to real-life situations. Her practical approach—focusing on how people actually speak rather than the overly formal language found in textbooks—made a huge difference. She’s also incredibly flexible, which made scheduling lessons easy and stress-free. Thanks to her, everything started to click much faster, and I gained a lot more confidence in speaking. I highly recommend her!
I like my classes to be interactive and engaging. Online lessons allow me to share a variety of materials with my students, including: - articles - pictures - videos - exercises … and anything that supports their progress. Students are also encouraged to participate actively and to suggest their own materials or activities.
I focus on my students’ needs and goals, rather than a fixed set of skills. That said, I am ready to help them develop specific skills. - Speaking: Students have plenty of time to speak. We talk about their passions, hobbies, work, friends, travel, and culture. We also do role-plays and play games like Taboo. I make sure to note useful vocabulary and correct expressions. - Listening: While speaking, students practice listening. At first, it may feel challenging, but progress comes quickly. I also recommend movies or cartoons in French and ask students to summarize what they have watched, heard, or read. - Writing: This depends on the student’s level. Main activities include dictations, compositions, and exercises focusing on specific grammar points. - Reading: We read articles or short stories together and answer questions to check comprehension. I always try to connect activities to my students’ interests to keep them relevant and engaging.
Yes, I definitely offer homework and exercises, but there’s never any obligation. Homework is optional—you do it if you want and have time. No pressure if you don’t submit anything. One thing is certain: with me, homework never feels like going back to school. Exercises are always part of the lesson. They help practice grammar, review vocabulary, or apply what we’ve learned in a meaningful way. They can include fill-in-the-blank tasks, sentence rephrasing, or creative writing about a topic, an artist, or music you love. Everything is designed to build your confidence and make learning enjoyable.
I am very gentle when helping students with pronunciation and accent. Being Swiss, I believe there is no single “correct” way to speak French. My goal is to help students be understood more easily. I let students speak or read as much as possible, then focus on the words they find difficult. I give small tips on pronunciation, such as breaking words into sounds or explaining tongue, mouth, and teeth placement for tricky sounds. My students never feel judged or belittled—I’m also a language learner, so I understand the challenges of mastering accent and pronunciation.
I focus on vocabulary through conversation, because speaking is the best way to learn and remember new words. I also use games, reading, and writing exercises. Conversations help me see where students struggle with phrases or grammar. Don’t expect a full hour of heavy grammar with me—I prefer to be specific and practical. We address grammar whenever it’s needed, to solve a problem or review something important. I always adjust to the student’s level, and everything is tailored to their needs and goals. My secret? Keeping everything relevant to your story. It’s pointless to give you a full page of words to memorize. I prefer us connecting words and grammar with a memory, a laugh, or an emotion—then you’ll really remember them.
Of course, and this is probably my strongest skill. I never provide a rigid syllabus or fixed program—my classes are highly flexible and tailored to each student. I see my students as my partners. For children, I often adapt to their school program. For adults, I listen carefully to their needs and goals. Some want to prepare for a trip, a specific exam, or improve their school grades. That said, if you prefer a very structured class, like traditional school, with modules and exact timetables for everything you learn, I might not be the teacher you’re looking for. This doesn’t mean I can’t be organized and focus on your goals, but I also value spontaneity. I like to adapt not only to my students’ level, but also to their mood and energy that day. I often start by asking, “What would you like to do today?” Also, having ADHD and being highly sensitive myself, I’m usually comfortable with students who are sensitive, reserved, or neurodiverse. I’m not a medical professional, but I can relate, and these students often feel at home and safe with me.
No, I don’t provide additional activities directly, but I’m always happy to go one step further and recommend platforms, events, or resources where you can practice French, meet people, or explore the culture.
