Bonjour, my name is Jade.
I’m a certified linguist and language teacher and coach based in Zürich.
I offer individualized language coaching focused on clear pronunciation, stylistic accuracy, and confident communication.
My work combines traditional language training with phonetic and pronunciation coaching, supporting both business professionals and performing artists (including opera singers and actors) who require a high level of linguistic precision.
Services include language coaching, pronunciation and accent refinement and professional proofreading.
French language
Proofreading
I offer meticulous proofreading services for academic papers, articles, and texts in French and English. I ensure clarity, accuracy, and consistency in grammar, style, and punctuation, while preserving the author’s voice and intent.
Language courses
Whether you need to communicate with clients or colleagues in the French-speaking part of Switzerland or internationally, or simply want to improve your French for personal growth, I can help you build a strong language foundation tailored to your profession and needs.
DELF Exam Preparation
As an official certified examiner, I can help you prepare for a French certification exam, whether you're a beginner or an advanced speaker
About me
Education
I hold degrees with honours in languages, linguistics, and translation from the University of Paris VIII, the University of Vienna, and the University of Aix-Marseille. I am currently writing my PhD thesis in literature and regularly publish academic articles and present my research at academic conferences.
I taught French for several years in Austrian secondary schools and have worked with the Institut Français in Vienna as a DELF examiner.
For the past three years, I have been teaching adults, young learners, and professionals in Zurich. My lessons are tailored to each student's goals, whether for work, study, exams, or everyday communication.
Artistic education
With a background in musical training, I also offer language coaching to artists. My research in opera, combined with practical experience, enables me to guide performers in mastering the linguistic, musical, and stylistic nuances of French texts. I also provide artistic coaching for actors and opera singers in French diction, pronunciation, and interpretation for both spoken and sung repertoire.
Artists Coaching
SPEAK

SING
Guidance in French lyric diction, balancing phonetic accuracy with vocal line and musical expression.
