About

Jamila Lopez

French teacher in Berne — a native speaker with a real love of language and a genuine interest in your progress.

Background

Language as
connection.

I grew up in France and studied in Clermont-Ferrand. I have lived in Berne since 1985 — French is my mother tongue, teaching my passion.

For many years I have worked with adults and young people, one to one and in groups — people of every age, from every kind of education and profession. More than twenty years of the most varied demands have given me a strong sense of both pedagogy and psychology.

That is what allows me to respond fully to each person’s needs and expectations — and that, for me, is the greatest challenge of all. I look forward to it every time.

What drives me: the moment someone realises they can genuinely speak. When understanding takes the place of uncertainty.

What guides
my work.

01

Individual

Everyone learns differently. I assess where you stand, what you are aiming for and how you learn — then adapt method and pace accordingly.

02

Communicative

A language unfolds in conversation. My lessons always revolve around real communication — not grammatical perfection.

03

Patient

Mistakes are part of learning. I create an atmosphere where trying and stumbling are welcome — with no pressure to perform.

«The atmosphere at Sprachstudio Bonjour is very pleasant.»

Madeleine Gloor, Dépt. des Affaires Étrangères, Berne
