J’ai tout compris

French Coaching
Alex Schlesinger

Services

The coaching ist primarily aimed at students who are already attending a high scholl (gymnasium) or are about to transition to one. However, it is also suitable for anyone looking to refresh and improve their French skills.

  1. Nouveau

    This coaching is for students from abroad who are about to transfer to a high school (Gymnasium) in the Canton of Zurich. For them, learning the French language is new ‘nouveau’. The Online coaching can start immediately, making the transition easier. After the move, the lessons will continue in person.

  2. Être à jour

    This coaching is for students planning to spend time in a country where French is only marginally taught or not taught at all. Online coaching during their stay can prevent gaps in language acquisition and reading. This way, they stay ‘à jour’ and can look forward to re-entering school without worries. Upon return, the lessons can continue in person if needed.

  3. Encore une fois

    This coaching is for students who are currently struggling with French. The goal is to deepen their understanding of the material once again ‘encore une fois’ to master it confidently.

    This coaching is also suitable for students who are unsure whether they fulfil the requirements for the internal Matura or the external IB final exam. The intensive revision of certain grammar topics and previously covered literary texts helps students to pass the exams successfully.

About

I studied French and Spanish in Zurich, Paris, and Madrid. After many years of successful work as the head teacher for French at the Realgymnasium Rämibühl in Zurich, I am able to support students of all grade levels efficiently and effectively. I am also very familiar with the IB system.

The consistently positive feedback from students and their parents regarding my skilled teaching and enthusiasm for the French language, literature, and culture encourages me to offer this – so far unique – coaching.

The name “J’ai tout compris” says it all: The goal is for students to have understood everything by the end of a lesson. However, a fruitful collaboration can only succeed if both sides give their best.

In addition to French, I speak German, English, Spanish, Slovak, and Italian.
