School philosophy

I’ve spent much of my adult life abroad, in London, Berlin, Madrid and Rio de Janeiro. These cultural and professional experiences have shaped my personality and stimulated my desire to learn languages and immerse myself in diverse cultures.

In the heart of Neuchâtel, I invite you to discover the richness of foreign languages and cultures.

Available in French, English, Spanish and Portuguese (B), the workshops and private courses follow the dynamic approach of the OPAH concept, unique in Switzerland.

Fully personalized and focused on your specific needs, this innovative method facilitates language learning by giving priority to oral expression, and encouraging the learner to communicate freely in the foreign language.

What our students think

Read our students’ testimonials to discover how our courses have transformed their language skills and enriched their personal and professional lives.

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!

Why learn French with me?

Fluency in French is essential for linguistic and cultural integration. My French courses can also be complemented by cultural or social activities, such as museum visits or simple local cooking classes, to put language learning at the heart of cultural and local immersion.

French is my mother tongue, so beautiful, yet so complex, full of subtleties in both grammar and pronunciation. My mastery of four foreign languages means that I understand the challenge that learning French can represent in relation to your language, an asset that will enlighten your learning at my school.

Faq

I want to learn French. Where to start?

At the start of training, it’s mainly the complicated pronunciation of the language that can be difficult. Starting by mastering phonetics will make learning easier later on.

Do I need a basic knowledge to enroll in the school's courses?

No. Fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese and German, I understand the difficulties that French can represent in relation to your mother tongue. My lessons will be adapted to your level.

Is it possible to learn French in 3 months?

If you don’t live in a French-speaking environment, you’ll need more than three months to master the basics and communicate confidently in French.
