French is the official language of Geneva and the second language spoken in Switzerland, after German and 22.5% of the Swiss have French as their mother tongue. For a foreign student or a professional, fluency in French has therefore became a necessity.

For this reason, speaking French in Geneva is an asset to increase your chances on the job market. Knowledge of French opens doors of companies and it is also the first vector of integration.
To make friends, find a job and enjoy what the French speaking part of Switzerland has to offer.
At French via Skype, we have had the opportunity to accompany many expatriates living in Geneva in order to best support them in their learning of French, allowing them to integrate better into Swiss society and to succeed in the DELF and DELF exams.
Some testimonials from students who have taken French classes in Geneva with us are below.
" I’m studying with Laure for about one year now and I’m very satisfied with her very targeted and well-organised French lessons. If you like to invest your limited time well and aiming for a fast improvement of your French level Laure is the right teacher for you. The lessons are intense and you better be well prepared and do your homework as Laure is a very strict teacher ;). First I found it very challenging to work so hard on my pronunciation but I realized quickly that this is key to a higher level of French. Also I was very happy about the amount of time one talks in her lessons as I know from my own German teaching experience that this is crucial for an improvement of the communications skills. Together with Laure I prepared for the DELF B1 and thanks to her I passed it with incredible 91%. I could highly recommend her as French teacher. “

" As a native English speaker who has lived in Geneva for several years, I have had quite a few not-so-successful attempts at improving my French. That all changed after I started my lessons with Laure! Very quickly Laure identified the "gaps" in my French and we began work on them. Laure is very dedicated to the lesson planning and sends feedback soon after each lesson with vocabulary and grammar points to work on and to keep momentum. Her help in preparing me to pass the B1 exam was invaluable. More than anything, I have more confidence to interact in French, which has been fantastic to my work and everyday life. I would highly recommend Laure - if you want to learn or improve your French, she is the best teacher you will find! Thank-you Laure! "

" I contacted French via Skype looking for flexible one-on-one french lessons I can do from the comfort of my home! Having already passed my DELF B1 I wanted to set myself the target of passing DELF B2, in particular improving my speaking skills and my confidence. The lessons are really well structured, with comprehensive feedback and I requested some homework to complete between lessons which was also corrected and discussed. We worked hard on my weaknesses and finally I passed the exam with a mark I am really proud of! For me, the lessons had a great balance of me feeling at ease but also working hard and making progress. I would certainly like to continue with lessons in the future to help me with French in my workplace, speaking and writing in a professional environment."

" I started learning French through group classes when I first moved to Geneva, but as I started to advance, I wanted to focus more intensely with grammar, writing and conversational skills. Laure immediately understood what I needed to work on as I explained that I would like to take the DELF exams and that French is critical for my career in the UN. She prepared me very well with the exam's reading and writing exercises, and fortunately, I was able to pass my DELF B1 exam. As I continue to work with her, I appreciate that she is a patient, very structured, and motivating teacher -- I would recommend Laure to anyone who wants to improve on French! "
