I was introduced to Chinese calligraphy from an early age through my family's long-standing tradition and cultural heritage. This foundation allowed me to develop a deep appreciation for Chinese calligraphy as both an art form and a reflection of Chinese culture, history, and philosophy.

For the past eight years, I have been teaching Chinese calligraphy in Switzerland to students ranging from 4 years old to adults, from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. My classes focus not only on handwriting techniques but also on cultivating an understanding of the rich cultural traditions behind the art.

I was introduced to Chinese calligraphy at a very young age thanks to the long tradition and cultural heritage of my family. This foundation allowed me to develop a deep admiration for Chinese calligraphy, both as an art form and as a reflection of Chinese culture, history, and philosophy.

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!

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

As an English language teacher, my main objective is to make learning fun, keep my students engaged and involved in class to make learning happen. My expertise lays in using technology to enhance language learning as well as develop and deliver high quality lessons.

Public Speaking as a course focuses on personal relationships, social interactions and work situations which help you communicate ideas to others/an audience. You will learn how to fight glossophobia (fear to speaking in public), how to clearly communicate, body language; volume, pace and clarity in a speech, how to write speeches, etc.

Being able to speak different languages is a very powerful tool that not many people can say they have. English and Spanish are languages that are practically spoken in most of the world and have a very important richness both for the world of work and for our cultural knowledge.
For this reason, I offer classes in these two languages and also in Catalan in case someone is interested in taking classes. I am a native of Spain, Barcelona.

English is one of the best assets to find your place in the sun today, whether you want to study abroad, get a well-paid job or travel more. With over 10 years of teaching experience and over 20 years of learning the language myself, I can help you achieve your goal!
I believe that lessons should be fun, and during my classes, we combine vocabulary and grammar excercises, as well as speaking, writing, and playing games, so that you never get bored and take full advantage of the class.
I can also help you prepare for exams, such as TOEFL, which I've successfully passed myself, and some others.
My favourite part of the language learning process is speaking, because it truly shows that you've mastered the language. And it's also fun!

"The Persian language is so attracting" this is what I have heard numerous times from non-Persian speakers :)
The literature is rich with flawless and tuneful poems that inspired great men in history like Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Edward Fitzgerald. It is not a complex language in terms of grammar but might require some effort to learn vocabulary ;)
I adapt the educational content, covering listening, reading, speaking and writing, to the learner's level of knowledge and age (in case you want your child to be familiar with Persian). So I am here for you whether you aim to start from the alphabet or want to practice daily conversations.
If you have ever had a slight intention to learn/practice this lovely language, feel free to contact me.

Learning English as a foreign language can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be!

After an aptitude test to determine your English level and highlight your strengths and weaknesses, I can provide tailored classes to help you improve in the four key skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and guide you through the complexities of grammar.

Having taught adults throughout my CELTA teacher training, and working as an English teacher with children, I am comfortable providing classes for all ages and adapt each lesson for the student's age and interest.

I look forward to seeing you in class!
