About us

Hello, my name is Nicole.

I’ve been lucky enough to spend a large part of my adult life abroad. It’s by traveling, walking the streets of Berlin, London, Madrid or Rio de Janeiro that I’ve built up my passion for foreign languages and cultures. It was the richness of my exchanges with people from all walks of life that led me to found the Speak to the World language school.

I offer English courses in Neuchâtel, face-to-face, at school, online, at home or in your company’s offices.

English courses in the canton of Neuchâtel

Learning English, understanding the world

The English language has its own lexical, phonetic, grammatical and cultural specificities, depending on the country where it is spoken. We’re all familiar with English, the universal language, in music, international relations, business, etc…. We perceive it as simple and familiar, yet mastering it requires the acquisition of an extensive vocabulary and knowledge of grammatical rules.

In line with my OPAH learning method, English lessons in Neuchâtel focus on verbal exchange. We reinforce these skills with grammar lessons and vocabulary cards. My private lessons are open to adults, individuals and professionals, of all ages and levels of study, as well as to children aged 5 to 10.

For a few months now, I've been taking a private course with Nicole Durand. Attentive to my wishes and needs, she offers lively sessions focusing on everyday conversation, while integrating essential grammatical knowledge. So it's just what I was looking for.

Sandra Portuguese course

Nicole is not only competent, but she also puts a lot of joy, passion and heart into her lessons, and I can't recommend her highly enough.

Noémie Portuguese course

I've been learning English and German with Nicole for 2 years now and I'm really enjoying my lessons. Incidentally, you don't feel like you're in a class, having to learn something that you'll then have to master impeccably. The good thing is that you learn what you can and what you need to learn. It's based more on an intuitive approach to language. Even as a beginner, it's easy to make progress with this type of training. We learn by having simple discussions, which gradually become more complex as we evolve.

Olga

At first, the idea of speaking English made me really shy. But within the first few minutes with Nicole, everything changed. She has an incredible way of making lessons relevant and engaging, with an emphasis on oral practice. With her, every lesson is a new adventure: you learn while having fun, and you almost forget it's a class. What's really great is the flexibility of the courses, with the option of doing them online or at home. I'm progressing and my confidence in English is improving day by day, and fear has given way to the pleasure of learning. Nicole turned my apprehension into a revolutionary learning experience!

Laurent

Nicole has been teaching me English for over a year now, and I'm completely satisfied with her work. I have improved enormously and am making huge progress very quickly. Nicole is committed, competent, a good listener and patient. She also knows how to put us at ease and adapts to our individual needs.
These courses are interesting and innovative with a very good learning method. I highly recommend it!
