Experienced teacher, having lived a year in Lüneburg, I am enthusiastic about the idea of helping anyone wishing to learn German or improve their level by enjoying reading and speaking it.

The objective of this course is to offer a pleasant environment to anyone wishing to learn or improve their German, in order to enable them to gain self-confidence. We seek to create an atmosphere where the learner will enjoy coming back and seeing the progress made.

I have experience in teaching and tutoring, I appreciate the contact with the students, but especially their smiles when they regain self-confidence and feel capable of progressing.

It is a privilege to experience these moments that allow students to open up, express themselves and discover new perspectives.

The technology to improve your French. Classes with a certified native teacher.

Hello Bonjour!
I am a native French teacher and a graduate in French Philology since 2012. I have 10 years of experience in Belgium and abroad. I offer online classes using a method that I have developed over the years, specifically for online classes.

*My method:*
-During class we focus on speaking. Outside of class, I will send you exercises that I will correct every week (grammar, conjugation, writing...).
-I use a particular technique based on questions/answers to apply the grammar when speaking.
-I use the verbotonal method to correct pronunciation.
-You will also receive access to an application for your Smartphone (to learn the vocabulary).
-Use an interactive whiteboard.
-We will use a shared online notebook to correct your exercises and ask me your questions at any time of the day.

I offer preparation for official exams (DELF, DALF, TCF, EOI, FIDE in Switzerland...). Classes for beginners, intermediate or advanced levels. Preparation of conferences or talks for business people. Job interviews.

The class is a bit different when I work with children or teenagers. I use interactive websites and letters.

If you want a young, organized, dynamic and passionate teacher, call me or write me!

See you soon,
Laurie*

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

Whether your goal is personal or professional, speaking is a predominantly physical activity, relying on a body, a voice, a breath, a rhythm (diction) and an emotion (the imagination and the sensations, reflecting the involvement of the speaker in his speech.

How to send a clear message? How to make the difference, to make an impression? How to regain self-confidence and control the management of his emotions?

Knowing how to speak in public is now a necessity for the company and in the company. From a personal point of view, this is a vector for better relationships and optimal messages. On the phone, in a meeting, in front of a client or a banker (...), your public speaking must be effective and efficient with clear, simple and powerful messages, creating a match between the message received and the message sent.

Simple and pragmatic tools will be presented and then put into practice for: generating listening ● making an impression ● fostering trust ● generating need ● motivating teams by explaining a strategy ● getting messages across within groups.

Controlled, the method allows:

• improve self-confidence and stress management with the development of the speaker's fluency (verbal-bodily), his public speaking and his sense of repartee and improvisation

• to work on his ease, leadership, his NLP, his charisma, his creativity and to go towards a certain personal development, through a set of scenarios

* improve the characteristics of the spoken voice (timbre, pitch, intention, flow)

Completed by basic exercises (diction, voice, presence, breathing, presentation, time management ...), role plays, improvisations and simulations will be set up.

With the key words: pronunciation, rhetoric, verbal and non-verbal communication, diction / articulation, the sense of repartee, structured speech (...).

The goal is not only to focus on verbal communication but also on nonverbal communication, so as to make the control of his body, his voice (...), a real and lasting strength.

Depending on the interaction between the trainer - coach and the one who consults, there is no single way to operate: each type of session depends on the needs and difficulties of each.

In all cases, it is very often a question, while adapting to your own needs and after having precisely diagnosed your desired objective and the blockages encountered, to combine the theory (the bases of the studied concept, for example NLP / information asymmetry / the "how to say no" / the tools of non-verbal communication or the application of kinaesthesia) and its application (through exercises and direct applications).

For example, are discussed:

- the fundamentals of public speaking: breathing, gaze and body language

- diction and elocution: rhythm and range of your voice - management of your emotions and your emotional overflow (example: stress) - work on the body, to amplify your charisma and ensure consistency between your message and your body ... with the aim of:

* Enhance your presentation and arouse interest by focusing on your strengths, your qualities ... your personality

* Match the content and form of your message

* Improve your charisma, your self-confidence and the benefits of your emotional intelligence

Postgraduate School Training & Ivy league college in the United States, specialized and worked for over 13 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication and public speaking in renowned public and private international institutions, involved in forums and conferences, and focused on two areas: training and coaching, with the key words pedagogy and careful methodology.

PLACES
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of live (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: notes that can be re-read on the chat). In this context, the videoconference sessions for which you asked me to seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place very optimally and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. Take good care of yourself and yours!

PROGRAM
A la carte program: evaluated and adapted to each need.

Advanced physics demands much more than the application of formulas: it requires a deep understanding of phenomena, a rigorous method of reasoning, and a genuine capacity for analysis.

For over 35 years, I have been supporting students in preparatory classes, universities and engineering schools in their progress in physics and engineering sciences.

My goal is to help you understand the fundamental concepts, solve exercises methodically, and prepare effectively for your exams or competitions.

Subjects taught
Mechanical
Electricity and Electromagnetism
Thermodynamics
Oscillations and waves
General Physics
Engineering Sciences
Methodology for solving scientific problems
An effective working method

Each session is tailored to your program and objectives.

We work from your course materials, tutorials, past papers or exam questions to identify the points of difficulty and acquire a solid problem-solving method.

I place particular emphasis on understanding physical concepts, scientific reasoning and writing quality, essential skills for success in scientific fields.

Course structure

The sessions take place entirely online with an interactive digital whiteboard and screen sharing.

Demonstrations, calculations, and exercises are carried out together in real time in order to immediately check understanding and correct reasoning errors.

Available formats

60-minute session

Ideal for preparing for a tutorial, understanding a difficult chapter or solving a complex exercise.

90-minute session

Recommended for refresher courses, exam preparation, midterms, or in-depth study of an important chapter.

My commitment

My goal is not just to help you pass an exam, but to enable you to understand physics with more method, confidence and autonomy.

Whether you are preparing for a preparatory class, a scientific degree or an engineering school, I will be happy to support you in your progress.

I help with homework and give remedial lessons for CO and College students in all subjects except German and mathematics. I am patient, attentive and pedagogue; I adapt my method to the person to whom I am giving a lesson, I look for personalized ways to give meaning to the subject matter that poses the problem. I travel to the student's home, I can also receive the student at my home or give the lesson by webcam.

During my years of schooling in the orientation cycle and at college in Geneva (2002-2009) I too encountered difficulties and worked a lot with coaches and coaches; that's how I "learned to learn", gained self-confidence and obtained my gymnasium certificate with distinctions. I then continued my studies until obtaining a Master's degree in Visual Art in Glasgow in 2018. After several years of training and work in the United Kingdom (Glasgow and London) I have been back in Geneva for more one year. In 2021-22 I was a substitute in various cycles and colleges in the Canton of Geneva, and today I want to focus on private lessons with students who need them.

- a pitch, a conference, a presentation,
- a job interview,
- public speaking and/or filmed speaking.

As a French-German and trilingual student (French and German as native languages – English CEC C1), I offer tutoring and homework help for students from primary to secondary I and II (approximately 10 to 20 years old).
I provide support in all subjects, although French and languages are my specialty.

Having already completed several years of tutoring, I have a great capacity for adaptation, and above all, we will build the pace of the tutoring together according to your needs. Furthermore, my experience as an older sister has taught me how to create a reassuring and motivating environment for learning and education.

Each session is fully personalized:
• Review and explanation of concepts not understood,
• adapted exercises,
• Preparation for tests, assessments and exams
• homework help,
• Methodological support (work organization, memorization, writing, autonomy).

I place particular importance on a caring approach to help each student progress, strengthen their skills and gain confidence!
