My name is Ioana and I am certain it will be a beautiful experience to work with you here on Apprentus. I specialize in Social Sciences and Clinical Psychology while having a keen interest in making the world I live in a better place. My goal is to create interactive classes in which I combine my expertise in psychology with an understanding of the impact and implications of globalization in today’s society while setting up the motivation to be of help to my students in their process of self discovery and making their aspirations come true. In this respect, I will challenge my students with philosophical questions about the ethics of engaging with each other from a win-win perspective as for them to develop a sense of understanding we are all interconnected and their decisions will impact not only themselves but those around them as well.
This is my first class on Apprentus and it is about developing successful careers while avoiding burnout. It is designed to be practical and to enhance my students' self confidence from a mindful selfless rather than selfish perspective yet assertive after only 1 hour spent with me. This class teaches lots of practical tools for anyone who wants to become an active successful agent of benefic change. The focus is for students to learn to develop their career in simple steps that anyone can easily apply and, at the same time, remain positive and energetic It emerged from my own career as I used to manage large teams of people into successful ventures with little to no funds at all. Is it possible? Yes, it is and I will make sure this course will clarify the steps that support your career development in all its layers in a practical straightforward objective-based trustworthy method.
You will learn:
- to engage in a project by setting up the right motivation;
- to make a consistent plan for your projects;
- to be flexible in response to the business climax, to your partners and anyone involved;
- to be mindful and future oriented in your business partnerships;
- to be confident and honest in your interactions;

How to Raise Healthy Children - Theory and Methods

99 C$ /h

My name is Ioana. I am a certified counselor and a clinician in training. I lead workshops on parental education in order to raise the awareness it is better long term to raise our children in a healthy manner than to go through therapy later on in life. This 1 hour class will show you the correct educational method to use when interacting with your child in order for him/her to develop his/her own internal resources and why this theoretical knowledge and its practicality are more effective than the try and error methods many parents use till they become exhausted. The class is structured in a condensed manner for you to learn the basics of a mindful interaction with your child. Thank you and hope to see you attending my class!

Why is pelvic mobility important?
🔆Pelvic mobility is essential to meet the simplest daily functional needs such as walking or climbing stairs. The pelvis is the center of gravity and the largest bone complex in the human body. It is an insertion point for strong muscles: they form the muscular chains that have the pelvis as an anchor point.
The shortening or overtraining of some of them, due to sports postures or gestures, can generate an imbalance in the tensegrity system of the pelvic girdle and many local and adjacent problems, from muscle decompensations, pain, health problems at a visceral level and many others. aspects that are not taken into account 🧐
✅You have to ensure that your pelvis is in a neutral position, aligned at all times and in any activity you do so that your body does not adopt wrong postures by default and avoid having problems with its mobility and consequently other derived dysfunctions, such as hernias, lower back pain. , pelvic floor problems, etc.
📌The program aims to strengthen, stretch and put into tension the muscle chains and the analytical work of the abductor, adductor, extensor and pelvitrochanter complex. All of these myofascial elements determine the pelvic position and, in doing so, create or limit the freedom of the pelvis, having repercussions on the lower and upper limbs.
🤗 Of course we are not going to leave aside the rest of the body❗️❗️😅
The training approach will be individualized, after a general and analytical body evaluation.
Enough of so many aches and pains, release the superficial and deep fascia and revitalize your energy center. 🥰

Hello,

I offer private lessons in mathematics (for middle and high school students up to the first year of high school), in English (from primary school to high school), as well as in French and philosophy (for high school and middle school students).

I am currently a third-year undergraduate student in a double degree program in philosophy and sociology at the University of Clermont Auvergne (UCA), and I am on an Erasmus semester abroad (where I am taking courses entirely in English) from September to mid-January. During this semester, I am therefore primarily available for online classes.

From mid-January, I will be able to offer face-to-face classes again, mainly in Clermont-Ferrand and, depending on the location, in Beaumont, Cournon-d'Auvergne, Chamalières and Aubière.

Distance learning courses can be supplemented by occasional exchanges via email, SMS or WhatsApp to facilitate organization, follow-up and transmission of information between sessions.

I have a demanding and versatile scientific background: baccalaureate with scientific specializations Mathematics, Physics-Chemistry and Life and Earth Sciences (with highest honors), then a year in a BCPST scientific preparatory class.
This dual skill allows me to combine technical rigor and a flexible educational approach.

My current experiences with diverse school audiences, through individualized and certified support at AFEV Auvergne and group homework help sessions with the Coup de Pouce association and first aid, have allowed me to develop a structured methodology, based on the consolidation of basics, active listening and progressive empowerment.

In my experience, this approach could suit your child's needs, particularly in learning to adapt their pace and work capacity.

I am happy to offer an initial diagnostic assessment session, in order to establish a work plan targeted to your child's specific difficulties.

I remain at your disposal for any further information.

It is true that the philosopher is the friend of wisdom, but above all, he is someone who does not want to make mistakes in reasoning. Philosophizing is a way of reasoning and a way of solving problems that will never have a perfect and definitive solution. Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not a problem of philosophy, because it is enough to measure to solve it. On the other hand, knowing, for example, what justice is, is a problem of philosophy. A meter will not be able to help us know the answer. We must go about it differently, and in the courses I offer, I will teach you how.

You will learn

- text reading strategies
- case studies with the aim of learning from experts
- methodology in philosophy
- writing an essay
- writing a text commentary
- a work on the philosophers of your choice
- an overview of the history of philosophy
- the general culture necessary to be able to philosophize

I will adapt to your individual needs. Each course is tailor-made. We will analyze where your difficulties lie and together develop a course program that will make you perform as quickly as possible. The basic principle of the courses I offer is dialectics, like Plato's dialogues: reflecting together, making theoretical contributions, asking questions and seeking answers, and testing the validity of reasoning.

For the past 10 years, I have been teaching German using the philosophy methodology, having studied philosophy at the Master's level at Aix-Marseille University. It turns out that the analytical mind is very useful even outside the confines of philosophy. Today, there are even fields of activity such as management with philosophy or philotherapy. In recent years, some German students have asked me to also teach them philosophy courses, and that is why I decided to offer philosophy courses directly.

I look forward to meeting you during a first lesson.

Yin Yoga for deep release and stillness—holding poses for longer periods to access the connective tissues and calm the nervous system.

Restorative Yoga for rest and recovery—using props to support the body in gentle poses that invite deep relaxation.

Pranayama (Breathwork) to regulate energy, reduce stress, and reconnect with your inner rhythm.
.

With a master's degree in philosophy and experience as a teacher, I offer personalized courses to understand major philosophical concepts and effectively prepare for the baccalaureate exams.

Students will learn to analyze a topic precisely, formulate a problem statement, develop a well-reasoned argument, and engage with authors without simply reciting their notes. We will work on essay writing, text analysis, philosophical culture, and written and oral expression.

Each session is tailored to the student's level, difficulties, and objectives. Using concrete topics, texts, and their own work, I help them acquire a solid methodology, develop their critical thinking skills, and formulate their own thoughts with clarity and rigor.

The courses are aimed at high school students preparing for the baccalaureate, students following the HLP teaching as well as adults wishing to discover or deepen their knowledge of philosophy.

I invite you to discuss your objectives and challenges in order to develop a teaching method and techniques that meet your expectations. The course is based on dialogue and mutual trust: it depends on the subject matter being taught, but above all on your desires and goals.
For the past fifteen years, I have taught philosophy, history and political science in various contexts: at university, in high school, in adult education programs, and by giving private lessons to French speakers and non-French speakers.

In the three disciplines offered, my courses aim to enable you to acquire the essential knowledge and methods, and to develop your skills in an individualized way.

I would be happy to support you in preparing for the Baccalaureate, in philosophy and in HGGSP.
