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!

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!
