I am looking for new French lessons or a private tutor in Lausanne because my current course is going to finish up. I am just past the beginner stage...not even into the passe compose yet.

Any suggestions out there...mainly for how to find a private tutor that does not cost a fortune...

Try putting a post down at the university in Dorigny - in front of the library on the 2nd floor there are all sort of posts. Add yours, you may even find a student willing to exchange French to English courses (one/one)...
