Perfectly situated right in the heart of Lausanne, Institut Fazel offers the opportunity to learn beyond the classroom… here are some snaps from Group A and B’s recent trip around the city!
Our central location makes it easy for our groups to head out and practice what they’ve learned in real life situations, with the support of their peers and teachers.
Do you need help with your FIDE exams to gain Swiss nationalisation, or a B or C work permit?🇨🇭
Perhaps you’d like your children to learn a new language over the school holidays?👫
Or maybe you’re looking for intensive immersion lessons, designed to move you up a language level in under 2 weeks? 🏆
Institut Fazel has extensive experience teaching a wide range of languages to an even wider range of people, here in the heart of Lausanne. With special offers on immersion courses, and many other options to suit even the busiest schedules, get in touch for more info today!

High up above Lausanne, our group D students experienced some spectacular Swiss views on our recent trip to Tour de Sauvabelin 🇨🇭🏔️
Built in 2003, the wooden tower is much newer than Institut Fazel - we’ve been offering language lessons here for over 30 years!

We don’t keep our learning all within the classroom here at Institut Fazel…
This week, our Ukrainian students enjoyed the opportunity to get out and about in the city of Lausanne, learning more about the language and culture of the region.
With Lausanne being voted the ‘Best Small City In The World’ in 2019, there is no better place to practice your French with the support of a translator and fellow classmates. Thanks to Anatolii and Romaine for the photos!
With a wide range of classes to suit any ability, schedule, background and budget, get in touch today for more info or to register! 🇨🇭

We have been honoured to welcome our new Ukrainian students to this year.
Two classes went out this week and practiced their French in the city of Lausanne at the market.
With Vladimir, our teacher who translates into Russian, the students were able to learn a little bit more about the fascinating and unique history of Lausanne.
Our various classes with our new Ukrainian locals are so rewarding, for us as much as (we hope!) it is for them!
All new registrations, regardless of nationality, are currently open. We teach French, English, German, Italian, and more!

Another testimonial, this time from student Farnaz (full English translation below) - thank you for your kind words 🙏

“I want to share my experiences at Institut Fazel. I am Iranian and I have been in Switzerland for 12 years. When I arrived in Lausanne I didn't speak any French.
Mrs Faregh, the director of Institut Fazel, whom I appreciate very much, taught me French with her method. After 2 weeks I could do my daily business alone. She gave me a lot of courage so that I could take the DELF exam and I passed with the B2 level.
At the moment I'm studying at the College of Early Childhood Education. To begin with, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to pass the entrance exam, but thanks to Ms. Faregh and the work we did together, I managed to get in and passed my first year with flying colours.
Institut Fazel offers more than just grammar and conversation classes.
Institut Fazel gives life, courage and vision.”

A lovely testimonial from 4th July this year - the full extract is below.

"For many years I thought it would be very difficult, even impossible for me to learn French. And for many years even hesitated to start to learn, until I met Institut Fazel and Mardjan.
Just starting by October 2021 with average of 2 class per week, I was able to pass the Fide exam with high level grades in May 2022 - an amazing learning journey in 7 months.
More important than the exams, I enjoyed learning and even became more passionate about French. Thanks to special accelerated methodology of Institut Fazel, I could learn both grammar and practical communication in a very engaging and motivating way.
I think Institut Fazel had the best & most “fit for purpose” approach for my learning style supported by very experienced professional teachers. This method boosted my curiosity & intellectual interest for French language, building each element in a very structured and practical manner.
Sometimes it was an intense learning journey, supported with relevant content, exercises and practice. Hence, all was worth it to start (& lead) to my B1 journey in such a short time.
Many thanks to all the professional team of Institut Fazel and Mardjan,
Looking forward to continue my French journey for higher levels (of B2 or even C1)"
All the best,
