Our Students’ Feedback
“ I lacked confidence and was afraid to speak; the idea of taking the FIDE oral exam seemed insurmountable. Laure's patience and personalized support allowed me to focus precisely on my needs. Thanks to her support, I passed the A2 oral exam and I now feel comfortable using French in real-life situations.”
John L from Lausanne
"In just three weeks of focused one-to-one lessons, Laure provided useful resources and worked through past FIDE exams to guide my preparation. She listened carefully to my needs, explained everything with great patience, and showed me exactly what to focus on. Thanks to her support, I passed the FIDE B1 speaking. She is now helping me prepare for my Swiss naturalisation interview. ”
William McMillan - Lausanne
“I started my French classes with Laure a few months ago and I have to say that I am really impressed with the advance and how fast I have been able to learn with her. Specially, because now I am able to have a fluid discussion with a group of people and my pronunciation has evolved significantly. I had learnt languages with other teachers but had not experienced such a fast evolution before. Laure is a great teacher and designs the class individually. She is an active listener and has an excellent ear, so I find that she prepares the classes to help the student to improve in those aspects that are key for the student to improve in French and the results are just amazing. Looking forward to continue with my French classes with Laure and my journey to improve in French! I really recommend Laure as a teacher for anyone who wants to learn this beautiful language!”.

FIDE Test Lausanne – Understanding Levels and Immigration Requirements
In Switzerland, the required FIDE level depends on your specific immigration or administrative situation. Each level evaluates practical language skills—speaking, listening, reading, and writing—needed to function independently in daily, professional, and administrative contexts. Our FIDE preparation focuses on the skills required for your level, helping you meet official requirements with confidence.
Typical FIDE requirements by situation:
- A1 / A2: Needed for certain residence permits or permit renewals
- B1: Required for Swiss naturalisation
- All levels: Ensure you can communicate effectively in everyday life, handle administrative tasks, and participate in professional or social interactions
Our preparation courses are tailored to your FIDE level, helping you succeed in the exam while developing language skills for real-life integration in French-speaking Switzerland.
FIDE Test Lausanne – Strengthen Your Language and Test Readiness

- Reading comprehension: Working with emails, letters, notices, and short texts used in daily life in Switzerland
- Writing practice: Completing simple forms, writing short messages, emails, or responses clearly and accurately
- Speaking practice: Participating in guided conversations, role-plays, and everyday scenarios to build fluency and confidence
- Test strategies: Understanding instructions, responding appropriately, and managing time effectively

FIDE Test Lausanne – Understanding Your Required Level
For immigration and administrative procedures in Switzerland, the FIDE level is determined by official requirements, not by personal preference. The required level (A1, A2, or B1) depends on your situation, such as a residence permit, permit renewal, or Swiss naturalisation.
To ensure you prepare for the correct FIDE level, we offer an introductory assessment lesson.
During this session, we assess your ability to use French in real-life situations relevant to integration, including:
- communicating orally in everyday and administrative contexts
- understanding spoken French used by authorities and service providers
- reading and understanding practical written documents
- using appropriate grammar and vocabulary for daily life in Switzerland
Based on this assessment, you receive clear, realistic guidance aligned with immigration requirements, helping you prepare efficiently and confidently for the FIDE test required for your situation.
FIDE Test Lausanne – From Test Preparation to Everyday French
A key strength of our FIDE preparation is the direct link between FIDE test tasks and real-life communication in Switzerland. What you practise during lessons reflects the situations you face daily as a resident.
Learners work on practical scenarios such as:
- Speaking with local authorities: explaining your situation at the commune, asking questions about permits, appointments, or official letters
- Handling administrative procedures: understanding forms, emails, and written instructions, and responding clearly in simple written French
- Communicating at work: discussing schedules, tasks, or basic professional matters with colleagues and supervisors
- Daily life interactions: speaking with shop assistants, pharmacists, doctors, or school staff, and understanding common questions and instructions
- Social and community exchanges: introducing yourself, expressing needs or opinions, and taking part in everyday conversations
These situations are practised through role-plays, guided conversations, listening exercises, and realistic written tasks aligned with the FIDE test format.
This approach ensures that FIDE preparation goes beyond passing the exam. It helps you develop useful, confident French that supports long-term integration and independence in French-speaking Switzerland.
