Vocabulary stacks up
Each chapter assumes the previous one: words missed early in the year make the following texts opaque.
German lessons
German, written and spoken
The subject where gaps quietly pile up: vocabulary, grammar, speaking.
In German, what is not mastered one year is missing all through the next: vocabulary stacks up, declensions build on each other, speaking cannot wait. Our approach: diagnose precisely what is missing, rebuild it step by step, then anchor it through practice, written and spoken, following the Vaud curriculum. Your German teacher is chosen for your child’s profile and tested before their first lesson.

The work, corrected in detailFrom primary school to gymnase01 · Why it matters
German, the subject that slips away in silence
Few students dare to say they are lost in German. The signs, however, are unmistakable.
Grammar builds on itself
Declensions, word order, tenses: each rule rests on the one before. A fragile base shakes everything.
Speaking leads to avoidance
A student who no longer dares to speak stops progressing. Restoring confidence in speaking is part of the work.
The good news: German can be caught up. With a precise diagnosis, method and regular practice, written and spoken.
02 · Our approach
How we teach German in Vevey, Lausanne and Montreux
In our canton of Vaud centres, no patching over: we repair the foundations, then build the reflexes.
We find what is missing
The free assessment pinpoints the gaps: vocabulary, declensions, sentence building, comprehension.
We rebuild step by step
The foundations are retaken in order, with concrete examples, until they truly hold.
We anchor through practice
Written and spoken German trained regularly, until the language becomes a reflex, including in test situations.
