Political Communication, Public Speaking, and Presentation

From 49.99 C$ /h

The course module is tailored to the student's needs.

A program overview will be presented during the first class.

I will guide you in developing your written and/or oral communication skills, adopting an approach grounded in the science of political communication, international relations, and the social sciences and humanities.

The goal is to teach you how to structure a clear, impactful, and persuasive message, while mastering various persuasion and negotiation techniques.

▪️ Political communication involves the creation and exchange of ideas and opinions among citizens, political leaders, public institutions, and related stakeholders, such as the media. It encompasses all discourse throughout the political process at the local, regional, national, and international levels, as well as how political information can be used for strategic purposes or to achieve political objectives. Those trained in political communication can work in fields such as diplomacy, public and private policy consulting, public relations, journalism, media and digital campaigns, market research, community organizing, lobbying, and other related sectors.

▪️ The techniques taught will allow you to gain confidence in both public speaking and the development of your strategic speeches and narratives.

▪️ But above all, to achieve your goals, it is essential to master the art of public speaking, that is, the ability to express yourself clearly and effectively before an audience. This generally refers to a formal, face-to-face speech in which a speaker addresses a group of people.

▪️ At the student's request, the course can also incorporate skills in marketing, promotion, digital optimization, and SEO, allowing you to acquire:
- An integrated digital marketing strategy, adapted to the context and objectives of your organization;
- The skills necessary to analyze and leverage data in order to make informed, strategic, and innovative decisions;
- A forward-looking vision of marketing, including the use of new digital channels and technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and chatbots; and
- The ability to anticipate challenges and seize opportunities offered by disruptive technologies in your digital marketing strategy.

I am a teacher and tutor of Italian Language for Foreigners with a Master's degree in teaching Italian as a language for foreigners from the Ca' Foscari University of Venezia and the DITALS certification (Certificate of aptitude in didactics of Italian to foreigners) of the University for Foreigners of Siena (Italy).
The course and my method of teaching the language are based on a communicative approach: the student will learn the language gradually by using it and communicating in a real language and not abstract. To achieve this goal, many activities will be offered using authentic teaching materials such as newspaper articles, pages from novels, movie scenes, song lyrics and many more.

I grew up in the United States and completed my studies in the US as well. I have taught English to people of all ages and skill levels.
I like to focus on communication and verbal expression from the very beginning, as I have found speaking is the quickest way to learn. I then incorporate small readings, like short news articles, so that the most useful and necessary parts of the language are learned first.

The aforementioned categories are vital in everyday routine especially for naturally timid and introverted professional aspirant in public speaking, debates, announcements, storytelling, speeches. To reach certain efficiency professionally in terms of intonations, pitch, range, eloquence, fluidity, stress patterns, vocal exercise, flexible volume, uninterrupted flow, suspenseful pause, voice partitioning, etc., even for non-beginners, one needs the right set of assistance...and am excellent at all of the above!
Focus is to learn and enhance skills in story-telling smoothness, speech making competences and public speaking proficiency with ease. Beginners and intermediate are welcome...no one should ever relent from learning and acquiring new set of skills or enhancement!

I am here to help you! My goal is not to push a certain amount of theory on you and give you exercices and then call it a day. I want my classes to be specifically tailored to your needs and to how you retain information best. If it is through listening/speaking the language then we will have sessions of conversations where I can correct your grammar, your expressions, accent, etc. If you learn better through reading/writing, I can give you assignments and find interesting exercices, correct your work or essays, etc.
I'm here for you and with you every step of the way!

Hello everyone and welcome to my English and or German lessons taught in group. I organise English and German lessons for children and teenagers and separately adult English group lessons (beginners to advanced). For children and teenagers, interactive activities are used as a way to motivate them, help them remember what they have learned in class and make sure they will be able to apply their language skills in real life context.
For the adults lessons, depending on what the students are willing to learn, we can have discussions based on the news, some grammar, writing... I am open to any suggestions, just tell me your needs and I am going to adapt the next lessons for you. If you wish to invite your friends and make a group with them, just let me know and I will allocate you a time slot.

For private English lessons, please have a look at my other advertisements. The German lessons are usually for beginners/ intermediate (exceptionally advanced levels in German can be organised only if there is a high-demand).

Don't hesitate to contact me should you have further questions. It would be a huge pleasure to integrate you in one of my classes. :-) Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

Actress graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and Professor responsible for TFE at the same Conservatory for 3 years now, I am passionate about my job.
I have given workshops to children in theaters and am currently giving them to a particular audience as part of art therapy.
When I'm not playing in the theater (Théâtre Royal des Galeries, Théâtre Royal du Parc, Templerie des Hiboux, Rideau de Bruxelles, Théâtre Jean-Vilar LLN...), I like to transmit my passion.
I would be delighted to help you prepare for entrance exams to the Higher Schools of Dramatic Art (ESA), public speaking or simply work on texts for fun.

I give drama lessons for individuals, in companies or in establishments.
If you want to take competitive exams, I adapt to the request: we can work on free scenes and courses for ESA entrance exams, think together about an adapted program aimed at highlighting your personality and your particularities.
I can also help if you have difficulty speaking in public.
We can also work on texts for pleasure and love of the language.

Being also a singer, musician, and dancer, I can help you and train you in a multidisciplinary way.

How to develop your singing skills through kinesthesia and imagination?

Whether we constantly need to speak or sing for professional reasons, whether it is simply to convince during an interview or to engage in dialogue, the voice is the channel through which we express ourselves daily.
It is the vector of our ambitions, our emotions and our state.
Learning to master its vibrations means taking control of yourself.
In a media society where oral expression is crucial, we propose to listen to our voice, to work on it, to include it in an approach that resonates from oneself to the other.

The voice is the expression of bodily, mental and emotional forces.

I offer amateurs two contexts of vocal training: individual and collective.
We approach vocal technique through awareness of breath/energy in the service of a generous sound.
Through facial exercises we train the muscles that serve the voice in connection with articulation and phonation.
We develop the sensations of resonances produced by sound in the body. We optimize the projection of sound while leaving the sound column free.

Individual singing for people who wish to explore their vocal potential or carry out a specific artistic project.
• The individual singing workshop responds to specific requests from the student
• voice placement for amateurs without knowledge of music theory,
• personal vocal development,
• vocal rehabilitation,
• coaching of a singing role for actors/comedians,
• coaching interpretation of the baroque, classical and romantic repertoire,
• stage voice coaching,
• composers-performers.

Group singing allows students to free themselves vocally without being exposed to the stress of the soloist approach.
• The collective singing workshop addresses voice placement by developing the free and personal voice through voice games and adapted vocalizations.
• The exploration of the repertoire is aimed at small groups (4-5 students max) of soprano, mezzo/alto singers or tenor, baritone/bass singers.
• Learning-deciphering during weekly 1.5-hour sessions.
• Mp3 files allow you to maintain your skills between workshops.

Dutch is a fun language with a rich history. You will master the basics very quickly! Would you like to speak the language a little more fluently? Then things quickly become a bit more challenging. Our Dutch course focuses on the acquisition of basic grammar and vocabulary. Then we move on to more advanced topics, tailored to your needs. This will help prepare you for your professional and academic challenges.

Many expats in Brussels live within the bilingual region or on the outskirts of Brussels. Often the choose to enrol their children in Dutch-speaking schools. Next to Brussels, Flanders is the economic hub of the country, with the most employment opportunities. In Belgium, it is therefore almost indispensable to speak this language to find work and settle in your (new) community.

Would you like to discover together which opportunities Dutch can offer you? We tailor this course to your needs, and we'll be sure to cover the most essential professional communication skills, cultural peculiarities you might encounter and all the much-needed topical vocabulary.

I can teach English to kids using a fun and educational way. I will make sure to keep their attention focused and teach all speaking, reading, and writing. It will be one-on-one, so I will focus directly on them and ensure they understand everything I explain to them fully. I will use the direct method, where I will only speak in English and not their native language so they will get used to the listening aspect.
