Whether at school age, to improve your knowledge or simply to practice the language, I will be happy to help you in French or in English!

The best way to learn a language is to practice it over and over again! Whether through conversation or playful games, radio or books!

My mothertongue is french, I'm from Jura and I moved in Friborg because of the university. I always loved french and so I had also the chance to write for a newspaper. Beside that, I went to Germany and to USA for improving my languages skills and that is why I know what does it mean to learn a new language and to keep practicing it! I would love to help you if I can :)

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.

Math, physics and science courses for all levels

Having years of experience in teaching and private tutoring, both in person and via webcam, with proven and verifiable results, I offer a qualified and competent approach for all levels (high school, college, bachelor's and a selection of Master's courses).

I have a PhD in applied mathematics and nanophotonics (ETH Zurich), which allows me to combine the rigor of fundamental mathematics with a concrete vision of cutting-edge physics.

My primary focus is on methodology, with a rigorous, personalized approach adapted to each student's pace, ensuring progress while rebuilding confidence: identifying weaknesses, organizing time, and managing priorities. I also offer personalized coaching and follow-up via phone, text message, and WhatsApp, remaining available even outside of class hours.

Progress depends on each student (gaining 2 to 3 points out of 6). My work consists of improving the student's academic level, instilling in them a rigorous work method, but also restoring their confidence.

100% of my high school students obtained their baccalaureate, with 75% achieving honors. Some went on to prestigious business (HEC Lausanne) and engineering (EPFL, HEIG-VD, etc.) universities.

Courses are available for all levels, from college to Master's (selection of courses), including targeted and specific preparation for the baccalaureate and all scientific subjects in Bachelor's.

Lessons via webcam or in person

The student can see exactly what I'm writing as if I were right next to them. No matter where you are, as long as we have an internet connection, we can work together.

course:

- Bachelor's degree in Mathematics (Paris-Sorbonne University)
- Master's degree from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich): Engineering degree in Applied Mathematics for Computational Sciences and Engineering
- PhD in applied mathematics and nanophotonics (ETH Zurich)

I have been teaching for 14 years, and I have trained students in both private and group classes since 2012.

Hello !
Having acquired my Federal Maturity certificate by correspondence in 2021 (all courses learned self-taught), I can accompany a student in learning the branches of the Maturity but also with regard to administrative aspects. Especially to manage the registration for the Federal Maturity by correspondence which requires a lot of time and different papers. Having already been there, I can gladly help you and save you hours of trying to find information from right to left.
I can of course also help you in writing a Maturity work.

I have at my disposal several books and exercise books from the EPSU (School of preparation and university support) specially written for the federal maturity. They are very complete. I know they are very expensive and I can gladly lend them for exam preparation. I also have several books and documents used in the gymnasium and especially old Federal Maturity exams from the years 2015 to 2020 that I had also bought. So I have the necessary equipment to give quality lessons and exercises.

I did my Maturité with a specific option in Economics and Law and a complementary option in Philosophy.
My strong subjects are economics, physics, French and English but I also do very well in the other subjects.

I host engaging, remote English sessions designed to transform language learning into a creative, immersive experience. Rather than focusing on rigid grammar drills, my classes turn unconventional and specialized topics into dynamic conversations that spark curiosity and confidence.

Each 60 minute live session blends storytelling, real-world themes, and hands-on experimentation. We explore English through culture, creative projects, niche interests, and meaningful dialogue. Whether we are analyzing a song, building a personal brand narrative, or discussing sustainability and community, the goal is always the same: connection over memorization.

My workshops prioritize human interaction, expressive communication, and practical language use. Students leave not only with improved English skills, but with ideas, inspiration, and the confidence to use their voice naturally and creatively.

I am a dancer and I studied for two years at an American college, continuing my studies in English. Living in the United States allowed me to practice the language daily, in real-life situations, and to master spoken and written English.

Back in Fribourg, I want to share my passion for English and help you understand it better. My lessons are designed to allow for rapid progress while making learning enjoyable and motivating. :)
I offer English tutoring for students needing help with homework, test revision, grammar, and for those preparing for the B2 test. I bring practical advice and my American experience to make learning more effective and motivating.

I primarily target children and teenagers who want to improve their English while gaining confidence in the language.

✅ Why do some people trust you... and others resist everything you say?

Why can the same argument convince one person and leave another completely indifferent?

Why do some negotiations fail before they've even really begun?

Because words are only part of the message.

✅ Behind every behavior, every reaction, every silence, there are motivations, fears, needs, defense mechanisms, stakes, and a particular way of perceiving the world. For each person, the right words, the right approach. For the 'profiler' that I am, there is no doubt about it.

This training program offers you the techniques, methods, and tools to learn how to decipher human behavior. Not to manipulate, but to better understand, communicate more effectively, and act with greater precision. And to influence others.

✅ You will learn, among other things, to:

→ Getting to know you better
Identify your own mechanisms, your automatic reactions, your strengths, your limitations, and how your personality influences your decisions and relationships.

→ Read the others with more nuance
Observe what lies behind the words: the inconsistencies, the unspoken, the changes in behavior, the intentions and the real stakes of an interaction.

→ Decoding verbal and non-verbal communication
Word choice, tone of voice, rhythm, hesitations, silences, gestures, attitudes, micro-behavioral changes: learn to observe before interpreting.

→ **Understanding psychological profiles
Why do some people need control, recognition, security, or freedom? Why do some attack, avoid, seduce, resist, or constantly seek to convince?

→ Adapt your communication to the person you are facing.
Because you can't convince everyone in the same way.

→ Better negotiate and manage complex situations
Understanding what is really at stake for the other party in order to identify the right levers and build a more effective communication strategy.

→ Achieve your goals with greater relational intelligence
By better understanding the people with whom you need to convince, collaborate, negotiate, lead, or build a relationship.

✅ True power isn't about talking more. It's about understanding before acting. Understanding what motivates a person. Understanding what they're really trying to protect. Understanding what they're not saying. Understanding why they're reacting... sometimes even before they themselves put words to what's happening.

This training will equip you with tools from psychology, behavioral analysis, communication, and profiling to develop an essential skill: the ability to better understand people. Because when you understand yourself better, you make better decisions. When you understand others better, you communicate more effectively.

And when you understand the psychological dynamics at play in an interaction, you significantly increase your ability to positively influence a situation and achieve your goals. Don't just listen to what people say. Learn to understand why they say it.

In just a few minutes, you can sometimes understand about a person what months of discussions have never revealed...

✅ THE CONSULTANT:

Having graduated from a prestigious French engineering school after preparatory classes and from an Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher and trainer has specialized and worked for over 18 years in Europe and North America in the field, in renowned international public and private institutions, regularly speaking at forums and conferences, and also offering personalized INDIVIDUAL support, with pedagogy and careful methodology as the key words.
