Initially I finished my baccalaureate in Literature (2001) but since then life brought me a bit everywhere between highs and lows. I volunteered for various populations (4 years), and graduated in BSSW (2019)
Swiss, I call myself a wanderer because my heart got colored with all the beautiful cultures I have encountered on my exotic journey in Europe, Kenya and Philippines.
Nowadays, apart of being a French teacher I am also an artist: I paint, sculpt, craft, play music, sing and dance mostly for the joy of creating beauty.
Also I love trying news things, exploring, connecting with people and ideas.
Let's talk, let's share! Teach me something about life while I teach you French!
Ich als Lehrkraft
Hello dear and warm welcome to you! Give yourself the chance to learn the beautiful French language. It's worth it!
I am a chilled and easy-going teacher, a creative one too. I make sure you enjoy every bite of the time spent with me. And yet I help you improve and reach your goals through engaging activities, interesting conversations and suitable exercises. I don't care if you do little mistakes, as long as you enjoy learning and keep learning! Therefore, I focus on nourishing your motivation and self-confidence.
Have no worries, I won't belittle you or make you feel like you are back to school... This class is yours, and we are partners in this adventure!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Because I believe all students are unique and have specific needs, goals and learnings strategies, my teaching style stands somewhere between an intuitive approach and a student-centered method.
With me, you will learn a practical and useful French updated with common expressions, useful grammar tips, etc... You will acquire speaking and understanding skills (and more...) naturally and without forcing.
Together we create the class that suits you best.
No boring or stressful tasks. I will make sure to keep you engaged and motivated.
I had a great introductory lesson! Xandra is perfect for anyone tired of strict teachers and rigid curriculums. She creates a welcoming environment and provides excellent feedback. We had an easy and free-flowing conversation about various topics. She explained grammatical concepts and things about Swiss culture in a kind and patient manner. Anyone would benefit from a lesson with Xandra, from complete beginners to more advanced students. I'm excited for my next class.

Zandra is an amazing tutor. She helps me practice my french conversationally and is completely non-judgmental. I am always nervous about speaking French as I am not too great yet, but after the first few minutes I was no longer nervous. Lessons are laid back and it's very easy to talk to her. She is very patient and speaks to you as if speaking with a native, explaining the parts you do not understand. She is flexible and fun. I couldn't recommend her enough!

Xandra allows me to practice French conversation that doesn't feel like teaching or babying. She patiently listens and helps out so we can have intelligent, thought provoking conversations despite my super rusty French. I would never have thought to have conversations on this level despite barely speaking any French for the past decade! Xandra's cosmopolitan attitude and ways of thinking are a breath of fresh air, compared to the "France is superior" attitude common in the world of teaching French. If you are thinking you need a French teacher from France, think twice :)

For me Xandra strikes the perfect balance of being rigorous enough to make sure I learn properly and casual enough to make learning fun and stress-free. I think she is the type of teacher who puts the effort into customizing a class to a student's specific needs. Beyond being a good teacher, Xandra is really interesting to talk to. Being able to practice French while at the same time discussing culture, language and other interesting things makes the classes engaging and memorable. I look forward to our classes in the future. Merci beaucoup!
