Warm and easy-going teacher to help boost your French I’m a native French teacher from Switzerland, who has been teaching since 2020. I’m also a painter and dancer, bringing creativity and a human approach to my lessons. I create a relaxed, safe space where you can feel at home, speak freely, make mistakes, and build real confidence. I’m patient, non-judgmental, and goal-oriented, while keeping learning natural and enjoyable. Each lesson is adapted to you — whether you’re a beginner or advanced, child, teenager, or adult. We can focus on the skills that matter most to you — speaking, listening, reading, or writing — at your own rhythm and without stress. Whether you’re preparing for a trip, an exam, improving at school, or simply learning for yourself, lessons are practical, motivating, and tailored to your needs. You’ll feel supported and encouraged as you make progress, while learning French in a natural and enjoyable way.

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.

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 :)

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!

I’ve been feeling anxious about taking lessons with tutors lately because I often feel overwhelmed. But Xandra is different! 🥹 The 30 minutes flew by so quickly, and I genuinely enjoyed the class while learning so much at the same time. I felt comfortable, motivated, and excited to keep learning. I can’t wait to book another class with her! 🤍
