Welcome! I’m Anouche, a bilingual French–English teacher born in Geneva and raised in New York City. I have a deep understanding of French – I studied Greek and Latin, and being bilingual helps me explain grammar and language concepts clearly in both French and English, which is especially helpful for English‑speaking students. I founded my language school in 2010 and I’ve been teaching ever since, from complete beginners to advanced learners. I teach everyday French, conversational French, business French, and I also help students prepare for the DELF exam, the Swiss FIDE test, and the Swiss citizenship interview. I’m very happy to welcome you into this community, and I hope we can build together a fun, supportive and thriving French‑speaking group.

Feel free to reach out to me here or by DM I am always here to help 😄

The FIDE Exam is the Gatekeeper. I Have the Keys. Most French schools in Geneva and Lausanne are run by natives who have never had to struggle with the language. They teach "Standard French" from a textbook and force beginners into "French-only" immersion classes that lead to more confusion than fluency. I do things differently. I am a bilingual teacher with an American accent and a deep background in Latin and Greek. I moved here, mastered the system, and eventually ran an official FIDE exam center. I have seen the test papers, I know the grading criteria, and I know exactly why expats fail. Why Join the Academy? This isn't just a language school; it’s a Residency Security System. We focus on the "Logic-First" method—explaining the why in English so you can master the what in French. What you get inside: - The FIDE Insider Roadmap: Learn the exact communicative patterns that examiners look for to grant a passing A2/B1 score. - The Romandie Code: Vocabulary you’ll actually hear at the Migros, the Régie, and the Friday Apéro (no Parisian "Soixante-dix" allowed). - Geopolitical Strategy: Stay ahead of the June 2026 population cap and secure your permit before the quotas tighten. - The Bilingual Advantage: Clear, logical explanations for English, Spanish, and Italian speakers—no more suffering through confusing immersion classes. Secure Your Future in the Safe Haven. The world is shifting, and Switzerland is the ultimate "Plan B." But as the 10 million population limit approaches, the door is closing. Don't just live here. Be allowed to stay. Book a call: https://calendly.com/anouche-dumortier-karaman-swiss-language-academy/coaching-fide
