Swiss citizenship
French preparation for Swiss citizenship procedures and appointments.
“We had the pleasure of working with Anouche as our tutor in preparation for our Swiss citizenship. She is very helpful, always communicates quickly to help with our appointment planning, and is simply lovely to work with. We can highly recommend the Swiss Language Academy.”
Fide preparation
Learner experiences preparing the French skills assessed by the Fide test.
“Great teaching and overall service. I passed my Fide exam under an intensive programme in only 6 weeks. Would highly recommend.”
“I really enjoyed working with Anouche. She helped me tremendously in preparation for the Fide exam. She quickly understood my learning style and adjusted the material to my needs, which made a big difference.”
Intensive progress
Focused programmes for learners working towards a clear level and deadline.
“The intensive 5-hour-a-day class was as intensive as it gets. The teacher knows when to switch subjects so the lesson sticks, with hundreds of practice exercises on the student webpage. In one week I progressed from A2 to B1 — incredible to see. Highly recommend if you have a week free.”
General French
Personalised French lessons adapted to each learner’s level, needs and objectives.
“I have wonderful things to say about Anouche and her teaching style. I was in Geneva to apply to a local school and needed a B2 level of French. She got me there — organised, patient and genuinely invested in the result.”
“Anouche is fantastic — incredibly flexible, with great style, excellent teaching skills, and a course tailored to my needs.”
“Highly recommended.”
