In Vevey (Passage Saint-Antoine 7, near the station), in Lausanne (Rue Saint-Martin 9, 2 minutes from the Bessières metro stop) and, from 1 September 2026, in Montreux (Avenue des Alpes 27B). Lessons are also available at home and online.

You request a free assessment (form, phone or WhatsApp). We discuss your child’s needs, carry out the assessment, then suggest a formula and a teacher. The first trial session lets you confirm the choice before committing.

Any cancellation must be announced by e-mail at least 48 hours in advance; otherwise, the session is charged. The full conditions are set out in our terms and conditions (CGVU).
