Understanding is not producing
A student can follow a video in English and fail the written test: they are two different skills.
English lessons
English, understood and spoken
The language your child will use everywhere: at school, then for life.
English improves fast when well taught, and stalls for years when it is not. Our approach: diagnose what is missing, rebuild vocabulary and grammar step by step, then practise, written and spoken, following the Vaud curriculum. Your English 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
English, the subject that looks easy
Many students overestimate their English: series and games build passive ease, not grammar or writing.
Grammar is built
Tenses, structures, prepositions: without solid foundations, writing plateaus, whatever the oral ease.
School demands climb fast
From primary to gymnase, expectations rise every year. A Year 9 gap is paid for in Year 11.
The good news: English progresses quickly with method. It is often the subject where results show earliest.
02 · Our approach
How we teach English 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, grammar, comprehension, confidence when speaking.
We rebuild step by step
The foundations are retaken in order, with concrete examples, until they truly hold.
We get students speaking
Understanding is not enough: the student practises speaking at every session, until it feels natural.
The promise
English is built.
Word by word, sentence by sentence.
Understanding, writing and daring to speak: skills built with a precise diagnosis, method and regularity.
