About Me

What is a teacher to me?

Hmm... good question... I think a teacher is someone capable of transmitting the cultural heritage of a city or country. They help us choose a career, understand what a good citizen is, and develop skills like autonomy and self-reliance. They create connections between people within their community, their society in miniature (=the classroom).

Looking back, I think I drew inspiration from my teachers and my experiences in primary and secondary school to be able to design courses resembling what I consider good to be taught in a classroom.

During my nine years in the field of education, I had the opportunity to support educational projects, in collaboration with schools, administrative services, parents, and teaching staff. The goal was to facilitate learning for individual students or children in group classes.

The idea of becoming a private tutor came to me suddenly, after an observation internship experience in a school, experiences in primary education which allowed me to observe the learning and teaching problems of public schools.

I use my skills to facilitate the student's journey, helping them overcome their obstacles: my sense of observation, analysis, written and oral communication, as well as my sensitivity, help me to understand a given situation and to propose solutions adapted to the student.

Of course, organisation is a key point: with the digital support of Apprentus and other specific digital tools, I manage with the parent and the student to produce content, receive and share important information during the week, outside of lessons and during lessons.

The values recognized by former students were my sense of commitment, kindness, competence, and positivity! Perhaps you will have other observations to share with me on the quality of my session.

Looking forward to getting to know you better, I remain at your disposal for any further information requests.

In the meantime, have a lovely day!

213 C$ /h

During our studies, it sometimes happens that we experience academic difficulties.

Based on the teacher's work, I offer tailored support. This would help the student overcome obstacles and address their weaknesses.

The ideal parent is one who can identify academic problems and communicate them to the private tutor.
Whereas the ideal student is the one who dares to say when he has not understood, without fear of judgment.

Trusting the teacher is key: they offer an opportunity not only to acquire basic academic and cultural knowledge, but also to learn how to live in a community. In this way, the student can become a good citizen and develop their autonomy and self-directed learning skills.

Each week, we will schedule a one-hour meeting. The goal will be to define a learning objective and a problem, using a specific method.

Regarding the time and duration of the work, it all depends on the student's request. I would be happy to discuss this point further by phone or video conference.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

➤ Being a good manager is also being a good communicator. After all, a strategy can only be put into practice if you show yourself capable of interacting with your employees, of being a source of inspiration for them and of listening to their concerns. Unfortunately, not all managers naturally excel in this role and their difficulties in asserting themselves as true leaders is often attributable to their difficulties in communicating.

➤ The objective would then be to explore together the areas of improvement in terms of communication know-how. And managing effectively requires specific and cutting-edge know-how.

➤ In fact, managerial communication corresponds to the interactions between the management of the company and the organization and more specifically, between the manager and his team. This manager is in charge of transmitting information and directives coming from higher hierarchical levels, supporting internal communication, distilling messages related to his own management to obtain the commitment of his team, all while transmitting a message effectively.

➤ This exercise can therefore be tricky: this is why it is important to choose the right mediator in order to be well supported, not only to be understood by those around him, but also to carry out his mission.

➤ What to communicate? When ? Whose ? These questions will find an answer in the consistency of the actions undertaken. Good managerial communication will thus aim to exchange / dialogue effectively with its employees, maintain a close link between the different layers of the company, bring human relations back to the heart of the company, establish a climate of trust and good team cohesion, motivate by inspiring.

➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practice exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live), so that you can put them into practice immediately, and this from the 1st session.

Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 or 3 sessions*. (*study 2022).

➤ THE TRAINER:
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication , in reputable international public and private establishments, intervening in forums and conferences, and oriented on two axes: training and coaching, with pedagogy and careful methodology as key words.

➤ PLACE, TIMETABLE, PRICES
✓ Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Fribourg-Zurich-Neuchâtel-Lugano-Montreux-Basel-Neuchâtel-Bern-Lucerne-Brussels-Luxembourg-Paris-Lyon. But currently, these sessions continue to be offered by videoconference in the current context and in accordance with general demand which is almost unanimous on this subject.

✓ Indeed, apart from the classic advantages of videoconferencing (time saving related to travel & their unforeseen events, eco-responsibility, increased schedule flexibility, etc.), the quality of the session & the interaction remain identical. In addition, the entire exchange, notes and recommendations are immediately transcribed on the dedicated chat.

✓ To support us among ourselves & to be pleasant to you in this sustainable / particular period and in a spirit of solidarity, the fees are temporarily reduced and will not increase after the start of our sessions.

✓ Languages: French/English.

✓ The progress following these private sessions is perceptible from 1 to 2 sessions (*2024 study).

At this time, almost the end of the year, we are slowly approaching the CFC exam period.

This is why I would like to share my help in preparing you for these exams that you will have at the end of the year.

So I help with oral exams in French, German and English.

Having myself graduated in 2022, I am perfectly able to support you on this final stretch.

Turn your trades into victories!

Whether it's to negotiate a contract or remuneration, defend an idea, advance a project, start a business, convince a partner, gain the support of a team, resolve a conflict or simply make yourself better understood, one thing can make all the difference: knowing who you are dealing with and how to communicate with that person.

Because there is no single way to communicate effectively.

The same method won't work for everyone. A rational person isn't persuaded in the same way as an emotional one. A cautious person doesn't react like an ambitious one. A decision-maker, a colleague, a client, an investor, a partner, or a loved one doesn't have the same expectations, motivations, or interests.

The goal is therefore to learn to observe, understand, analyze and adapt your communication in order to deploy the right tool, the right method and the right strategy, at the right time and in front of the right person.

➤ Understanding humans to communicate better

Our way of communicating relies largely on understanding certain mechanisms of human psychology.

Human beings are naturally attentive to what directly concerns them. They are sensitive to their interests, needs, fears, curiosity, recognition, need for security, and desire to be understood and valued.

The idea is therefore not simply to say what you have to say, but to understand:
-How can you make your interlocutor want to listen to you?
-How can you present your message so that it makes sense to him?
-How to spark their interest?
-How can we address his concerns before he even expresses them?
-How to create a dynamic favorable to your objective?

For example, rather than immediately presenting an idea solely from your own perspective, you will learn to identify what may interest your interlocutor and to build your communication around their concerns.

A phrase like, "What I'm about to explain could be of real interest to you, particularly because..." can capture more attention than a simple presentation focused solely on your own needs. But the techniques, tools, and methods of the modules studied together obviously go far beyond that.

Similarly, understanding certain mechanisms such as curiosity, self-interest, recognition, trust, consistency, emotion, or risk perception allows for a more relevant and effective approach.

➤ Profiling & analysis of interlocutors
Before communicating effectively, you must first understand who you are addressing.
You will learn to analyze your interlocutor through different elements:
✔️ His way of communicating
✔️ His priorities and interests
✔️ His motivations
✔️ His needs and expectations
✔️ His potential resistances and objections
✔️ His decision-making process
✔️ His relationship with risk
✔️ His personal or professional stakes
✔️ The verbal and non-verbal signals he can express
✔️ What can promote or hinder its adoption

The goal: to no longer communicate automatically or identically with everyone.
You will learn to adapt your speech, posture, arguments, questions and strategy depending on the person you are facing.

➤ Advance your projects and ambitions
-Do you have a project?
-Do you want to create a company, launch an activity, advance in your organization, defend an idea, obtain the agreement of a decision-maker or make several people or departments collaborate?
-A project is not based solely on its quality.
-It also depends on your ability to:
✔️ Identify the right contacts
✔️ Understand the interests of each stakeholder
✔️ Knowing how to approach each person
✔️ Adapt your communication according to the department or function
✔️ Present your project from the angle most relevant to each individual
✔️ Anticipate objections and resistance
✔️ Create alliances and gain support
✔️ Negotiate effectively when interests diverge
✔️ Knowing when to insist, when to rephrase, when to wait, or when to change approach

-The same project may require several communication strategies depending on the person you are addressing.

-The goal is to give you the necessary tools to understand this dynamic and to move your project forward with more method, strategy and efficiency.

➤ Negotiation: much more than defending one's position
Whether it's for negotiating:
-A contract
-A remuneration
-A partnership
-A budget
-A strategic project
-Career progression
-A decision
-Or resolve a conflict

Negotiation is not just about finding good arguments.
It also involves understanding:
-Who is in front of you.
-What he really wants.
-What he stands to gain.
-What he is trying to avoid.
-What are his interests?
-What are its constraints?
-And what strategy can create a favorable outcome?

➤ On the agenda: support tailored to your objectives

Psychology of communication & understanding of behaviors
-Understanding some fundamental mechanisms of human psychology
-Identify the needs, motivations and interests of your interlocutors
-Understanding why some approaches work with some people and fail with others
-Use interest, curiosity, recognition, trust and other communication levers
-Craft a message that makes people want to listen

Profiling and analysis of interlocutors
-Observe and analyze how a person communicates
-Identify your priorities and your way of working
-Detect potential resistance and objections
-Understanding verbal and behavioral signals
-Adapt your strategy to the person and the context

Persuasive communication
-Formulate your arguments with impact
-To promote your ideas so that they are considered
-Structuring a convincing speech
-Ask the right questions
-Create interest and engagement
-Adapt your language and your approach
-Develop your ability to persuade without engaging in unnecessary power struggles

Strategic negotiation
-Identify and utilize negotiation levers: alternatives, common interests, concessions, and room for maneuver
-Preparing effectively for a negotiation
-Anticipate different scenarios
-Identify the interests and positions of stakeholders
-Build a suitable strategy
-Managing objections and deadlock situations
-Knowing how to evolve a discussion when the initial strategy is not working
-Maximize your chances of reaching a favorable agreement

Project strategy & support
-Clarify your objective and your strategy
-Identify the different stages and priorities
-Understanding who to interact with and in what order
-Prepare your discussions with the various stakeholders
-Adapt your communication according to the departments, partners or decision-makers
-Prepare for your important appointments
-Anticipate difficulties and resistance
-Deploy the most relevant tools and methods according to each step

Conflict management and complex situations
-Understanding the mechanisms that give rise to a conflict
-Identify the real issues behind the positions expressed
-Manage your emotions and those of the person you are speaking with
-Develop active and strategic listening
-Moving beyond unnecessary power struggles
-Regaining control of a difficult exchange
-Find constructive and sustainable solutions

➤ The right tool, at the right time, with the right person
This is one of the central principles of this support. Knowing a technique is not enough.

But first, you need to know:
-When to use it.
-With whom.
-In what context?
-And in what a way.

The same technique can be extremely effective with one person and totally counterproductive with another.

You will therefore learn to develop a true strategic reading of interactions, so that you no longer act solely on intuition, but understand the dynamics at play and consciously choose your approach.

➤ Tailored support

This program is aimed particularly at:

-Entrepreneurs and project leaders
-Business leaders and executives
Managers and executives
-Young professionals
Self-employed individuals and professionals
People wishing to advance within their company
Anyone with a project, ambition, or goal to achieve
Anyone wishing to improve their relationships and communication in a personal setting

Each support program is tailored to your specific situation and concrete objectives.

We can work directly on your projects, negotiations, appointments, relationship difficulties, or professional situations.

The goal is not simply to learn concepts.

You learn how to use them practically in your own life.

➤ A practical, engaging, and results-oriented teaching approach

We alternate methodological input, analysis of real situations, role-playing, simulations, preparation of your discussions and personalized feedback.

You can bring:

-A project to be developed.
-A negotiation to prepare for.
-An important appointment.
-A conflict to be resolved.
-A difficult person to manage.
-An idea worth defending.
-A business to launch.
-Or simply an ambition you wish to realize.

Let's analyze the situation together:

-What is your objective?
-Who are the relevant stakeholders?
-What are their interests and what is at stake?
-What obstacles might arise?
-What strategy should we adopt?
-What approach should be used?
-Which arguments should be prioritized?
-What tools should be deployed?
-And most importantly: at what point?

➤ Become a strategic communicator

The goal of this support is to enable you to develop a skill that will serve you in all areas of your life:

-Understanding people.
-Understanding the situations.
-Understanding the issues.
-Then adapt your communication and strategy to achieve your objectives.

Whether you are setting up a project, developing a business, advancing professionally, negotiating an opportunity or managing a complex personal situation, you will have concrete methods, tools and strategies to communicate with greater impact, intelligence and efficiency.

Stop letting your projects, ideas, or ambitions depend solely on your intuition. Learn to understand people, decode situations, and deploy the right strategy at the right time to advance what truly matters to you.

➤ A follower of the "message beneath the message", as Roland Barthes would say, the semiologist is above all a detective of language and helps you in this sense: he sees meaning, deciphers and carefully analyzes the signs that surround him to interpret their meaning, reports on the effects of meaning, the connotations and the implicit present in the communication. He starts from the surface signs visible to all to bring out the latent meanings. His interest is most often focused on the phenomena "on the margin", at first glance not very significant, which are located behind the scenes, rather than on stage. In short, all these elements not necessarily visible at first glance.

What applies to semiological analysis? Everything: Images, logos, websites, gestures, behaviors, words, speeches, symbols, spaces, in short everything that allows humanity to communicate. On the other hand, the semiological method cannot be invented since it is very specific. Like an iceberg, it is a question of going from superficial and visible signs to latent signs and meanings.

➤ A fascinating discipline, semiology and the analysis of gestures, behaviors and verbal & non-verbal language allows us to decipher the signs of our personal and professional daily lives. In a political speech, on an advertisement, or through our gestures in the professional and personal context, our words and behaviors, the narration of signs mark a certain relationship to the world.

➤ By learning to dissect the meaning of words and gestures, semiology allows us to take a particular look at the coherence of communication and its relevance (versus the opposite), to understand the details of our own speech, and then to make good use of it.

➤ Thus, from the semiological methodology (rigorous, specific, objectifying), verbal, graphic, symbolic and behavioral identities can emerge.

➤ Finally, semiology is neither a matter of philosophy (it only operates from one or more corpora, concrete materials to be analyzed) nor of psychology (it is less interested in intentions than in the signs produced). It is an analysis, a look at one's own communication and that of others which allows one to react better intuitively.

➤ This is why these sessions are intended to be above all practical: filmed exercises, analysis of images to be dissected and then implementation of techniques / tools / methodology which will help you in your daily life, to improve your verbal and non-verbal language but also to decipher and understand that of others.

➤ Among the content browsed:
1) identify and act on behaviors:
-transmission of acquired knowledge on non-verbal communication in order to quickly detect intentions
-immersive team-building mode to bring out helpful behaviors (despite the saboteurs)

2) Profiling - Diagnose and guide based on a written or visual corpus:
-build the storytelling
-bring out a type of profile
-understand insights

3) Brand Strategy - Create a new brand, company or personal positioning

➤ The semiologist or semiotician is led to specialize in certain universes, whether it is luxury, mass consumption or behavioral and body dynamics. His analyst side (linguist, semantician, semiologist, semiotician) and lecturer on the themes of negotiation and non-verbal communication will support your approach.

➤ So, discover the hidden secrets of signs if you are curious to understand the mechanisms behind advertisements, works of art, films or even social networks, if you want to learn to decipher hidden messages and analyze the signs that influence our thoughts and actions on a daily basis. As part of a fun and interactive learning experience, with concrete exercises for a captivating immersion.

➤ In short, in a context guided by the tools of semiology, the ability to speak in public is today an essential transversal skill to assert oneself, inform, negotiate and convince. However, to master the keys to successful public communication, it is necessary to strengthen the impact of one's own speeches: by structuring one's interventions and taking into account the circumstances and expectations of the audience; by making an impression through storytelling; by integrating the psychological and emotional factors of effective oral communication; by integrating emotions into the preparation of the message and arguments; by anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an attractive and convincing presentation framework; by experimenting with the rules of improvisation; by adequately managing difficult situations (...).

➤ Whether your goal is personal or professional, speaking is a predominantly physical activity, relying on a body, a voice, a breath, a rhythm (diction), an emotion and above all techniques, tools, a method, a know-how, reflecting the involvement of the speaker in his speech, all guided by the principles of semiology and behavioral analysis.

➤ So, how do you listen and be listened to, convince and be impactful, challenge and make an impression, enhance your content, address your audience appropriately and optimize the quality and clarity of the exchange/message? It is precisely about going through, implementing and deploying practical and effective techniques of oral presentation, simple intervention or 'one to one` exchange, aimed at challenging your audience or interlocutor, taking care of the content as well as the form, all in a professional or personal setting. For this, there are verbal and non-verbal communication techniques, based on semiology.

➤ Thus, mastered, the practical method allows, through a set of simulations and scenarios based on your daily experience supporting pragmatic & concrete techniques, to improve self-confidence, assurance, ease by overcoming embarrassment and controlling emotion in public. But also to work on leadership & charisma, in a context where empathy and emotional intelligence are at the service of communication, all based on the founding principles of semiology.

➤ To master the keys to successful public communication, it is necessary to master certain practical aspects of semiology, to strengthen the impact of your speeches: by structuring your interventions and taking into account the circumstances and expectations of the audience; by making an impression through storytelling; by integrating the psychological and emotional factors of effective oral communication; by integrating emotions into the preparation of the message and arguments; by anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an attractive and convincing presentation framework; by experimenting with the rules of improvisation; by adequately managing difficult situations (...).

➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practical exercises adapted to your daily situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live), so that you can apply them immediately, and from the 1st session.

Hello,
I offer business English lessons for those who are interested. First, I consider my clients' needs. I follow a formal curriculum: the lessons are based on listening comprehension, reading, and conversation. The lessons are enhanced with visuals, videos, presentations, texts, reports, and more.

✅ 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...

I support primary and secondary school students in all main subjects: French, mathematics, history-geography, science and English.

My method is structured in three stages: precise identification of gaps in knowledge, creation of personalized summary sheets, and then validation through targeted exercises and mock exams. The goal is for the student to leave with a study method they can use independently, not just answers for the next assignment.

I adapt to each student's pace and personality. Some need to review the basics, others need to gain confidence. I always start from where the student is.

In-person classes in Geneva or via video conference.

I offer you a new learning experience.

Academic success, even at the university level, is determined by the ability to understand and write different types of texts. I offer courses that will allow you to overcome the difficulties you encounter in reading or writing by giving you the text-writing toolkit that school, unfortunately, doesn't provide. I myself had to build this toolkit over the years at university, and I will gladly share it with you so that you can succeed.

Here are the different points that my offer covers:

READING
Guided reading
Effective reading strategies
Text theory (structure, function, typology...)
General knowledge
Communication Theory

PRODUCTION
Reformulation
Summary
Reading log
Accurate
Text analysis
Characterization
Interpretation
Text explanation
Text commentary
Dissertation Essay
Comment
Argumentation

You can take a full course with regular sessions or one-off courses to do specific work such as writing a reading summary.

Lessons can be taken individually or in groups. The methods are flexible to adapt to each individual case.

What matters to me in particular:

motivate my student and give him a learning pace;
encourage their creativity;
to awaken his curiosity;
to forge a friendship with the texts

During this first lesson, you can get a solid idea of my teaching style. I look forward to meeting you.
