These sessions allow the development of skills and knowledge of the trade, with the game facing the camera, familiarization with the audiovisual environment and the camera tool, in the art of acting.

Your inventiveness and your uniqueness being at the center of your training, it is a question of dwelling on the objective criteria, such as the voice, the use of the body, the relationship with the partner, the capacity to occupy the space. But it is also the singularity and the commitment that are decisive.

The objective of this training is to be able to:

- Analyze and dissect a text
- Create, develop and embody a character
- Understand the artistic and technical writings of a film or a play
- Create, cultivate and develop one's artistic identity and singularity

(...)

Through simulations and role-playing, the association between theory and practice makes it possible to achieve its objectives.

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, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.
- As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round.

From a Grande Ecole post-preparatory class in France & Ivy League University in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 14 years in the field, in international establishments, intervening in forums and conferences.

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.

Hello, my name is Briani! I'm originally from New York but currently living in Paris, where I'm pursuing my Masters at Sciences Po. I've mentored a dozen students through the U.S. college admissions process, helping them gain admission to schools like MIT, UPenn, Rice, Princeton, MIT, Columbia, and the University of Chicago, to name a few. I also worked in the undergraduate admissions office at Columbia for a year as an undergraduate student.

I'm extremely passionate about essay writing and wanting my students to feel like their personal statement is the most authentic story they tell. I provide a thoughtful, personalized, and encouraging approach, challenging students to bring their very best. We will brainstorm ideas for your personal statement, work on drafts with specific, line-by-line feedback where applicable, and also address supplementary essays.

Whether we are starting from scratch or you'd like feedback or advice on how to navigate the college admissions process, I'll take my time and care to make sure all the information I have is clear, accessible, and helpful for you.

This course provides support with academic writing and presenting. It could take two different formats.

Option 1: general guidance in academic writing and presenting. This could be helpful if you have recently entered or are about to enter a higher education degree. In this case, I would provide the material, such as example essays/presentations that we can work with. In addition, I would provide you with resources that would support you throughout your academic journey.

Option 2: editorial support for your current academic work. This option could be helpful if you need support with your existing academic work. In this case, you, as a student, would provide the material, such as an in-progress research paper or presentation.

In both cases, depending on your needs or interests, the course would focus on covering the key aspects of academic writing and presenting. I consider these aspects to include rhetorical patterns or strategies, syntax, formatting, and style. In this way, my support and advice are limited to effective communication of your work and do not concern its content.

Hello! I’m a law tutor who specialises in Edexcel International A-Level Law — and my goal is to help you truly understand the subject, not just pass the exam. To do that, I bring more than a textbook: I’m also a practicing lawyer with experience in courts, consulting, and private client work. During my studies, I have also taken part in international law competitions, academic conferences, and published legal articles. I often draw on real cases and examples from my own legal practice, so abstract rules become concrete and memorable. At the same time, I’m completing my law degree at a leading Russian university, which keeps me closely connected to modern academic standards and exam expectations.

What I bring to our lessons is the ability to show how legal rules work in real life. I’ve worked in courts and advised businesses, and I use those experiences to make Edexcel topics like negligence, contract formation, or human rights feel tangible rather than abstract.

A big advantage of my background is that I’m equally comfortable in both the Romano-Germanic (continental) legal tradition — including its public law and private law dimensions — and the common law system. I know from experience how confusing it can be to switch between these two ways of thinking, and I help students build bridges between them. For Edexcel IAL, which is rooted in English common law but studied by students from all over the world, this dual perspective is incredibly valuable. I can explain not just what the law is, but why it developed that way and how it compares to other legal families.

How I Teach
My lessons are structured around the Edexcel specification, but I adapt them to each student’s level and goals. We work on:
• Solving problem questions using clear legal reasoning (IRAC and beyond);
• Writing high-scoring essays that actually answer the question;
• Evaluation skills — the difference between a B and an A*;
• Exam technique and time management under pressure.

I don’t believe in endless memorization. I want you to understand the logic of the law, so you can apply it to any scenario the exam throws at you.

As a doctoral student in comparative literature at the University of Montreal, I offer personalized support in French writing aimed primarily at students and adults wishing to improve their writing.
The sessions may focus on structuring a text, formulating a problem, organizing ideas, clarity of argumentation, syntax, vocabulary, reformulation, or correcting recurring errors.
For students in literature and humanities, I can also support the methodological work related to the dissertation, commentary, text analysis, the construction of a problem and the development of a plan.
The work is based on your own texts, your difficulties, and your goals. The idea is to understand what can be improved, to develop reusable methods, and to progress toward clearer, more precise, and more independent writing. In most cases, significant progress can already be observed after two to three sessions.
This support is also suitable for people whose native language is not French and who wish to gain fluency in their academic or professional writing.

Your inventiveness and your uniqueness being at the center of your training, it is a question of dwelling on the objective criteria, such as the voice, the use of the body, the relationship with the partner, the capacity to occupy the space. But it is also the singularity and the commitment that are decisive.

The objective of this training is to be able to:

- Analyze and dissect a text
- Create, develop and embody a character
- Understand the artistic and technical writings of a film or a play
- Create, cultivate and develop one's artistic identity and singularity

(...)

Through simulations and role-playing, the association between theory and practice makes it possible to achieve its objectives.

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, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.

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.

Hello, my name is Briani! I'm originally from New York but currently living in Paris, where I'm pursuing my Masters at Sciences Po. I've mentored a dozen students through the U.S. college admissions process, helping them gain admission to schools like MIT, UPenn, Rice, Princeton, MIT, Columbia, and the University of Chicago, to name a few. I also worked in the undergraduate admissions office at Columbia for a year as an undergraduate student.

I'm extremely passionate about essay writing and wanting my students to feel like their personal statement is the most authentic story they tell. I provide a thoughtful, personalized, and encouraging approach, challenging students to bring their very best. We will brainstorm ideas for your personal statement, work on drafts with specific, line-by-line feedback where applicable, and also address supplementary essays.

Whether we are starting from scratch or you'd like feedback or advice on how to navigate the college admissions process, I'll take my time and care to make sure all the information I have is clear, accessible, and helpful for you.

This course provides support with academic writing and presenting. It could take two different formats.

Option 1: general guidance in academic writing and presenting. This could be helpful if you have recently entered or are about to enter a higher education degree. In this case, I would provide the material, such as example essays/presentations that we can work with. In addition, I would provide you with resources that would support you throughout your academic journey.

Option 2: editorial support for your current academic work. This option could be helpful if you need support with your existing academic work. In this case, you, as a student, would provide the material, such as an in-progress research paper or presentation.

In both cases, depending on your needs or interests, the course would focus on covering the key aspects of academic writing and presenting. I consider these aspects to include rhetorical patterns or strategies, syntax, formatting, and style. In this way, my support and advice are limited to effective communication of your work and do not concern its content.

Hello! I’m a law tutor who specialises in Edexcel International A-Level Law — and my goal is to help you truly understand the subject, not just pass the exam. To do that, I bring more than a textbook: I’m also a practicing lawyer with experience in courts, consulting, and private client work. During my studies, I have also taken part in international law competitions, academic conferences, and published legal articles. I often draw on real cases and examples from my own legal practice, so abstract rules become concrete and memorable. At the same time, I’m completing my law degree at a leading Russian university, which keeps me closely connected to modern academic standards and exam expectations.

What I bring to our lessons is the ability to show how legal rules work in real life. I’ve worked in courts and advised businesses, and I use those experiences to make Edexcel topics like negligence, contract formation, or human rights feel tangible rather than abstract.

A big advantage of my background is that I’m equally comfortable in both the Romano-Germanic (continental) legal tradition — including its public law and private law dimensions — and the common law system. I know from experience how confusing it can be to switch between these two ways of thinking, and I help students build bridges between them. For Edexcel IAL, which is rooted in English common law but studied by students from all over the world, this dual perspective is incredibly valuable. I can explain not just what the law is, but why it developed that way and how it compares to other legal families.

How I Teach
My lessons are structured around the Edexcel specification, but I adapt them to each student’s level and goals. We work on:
• Solving problem questions using clear legal reasoning (IRAC and beyond);
• Writing high-scoring essays that actually answer the question;
• Evaluation skills — the difference between a B and an A*;
• Exam technique and time management under pressure.

I don’t believe in endless memorization. I want you to understand the logic of the law, so you can apply it to any scenario the exam throws at you.

As a doctoral student in comparative literature at the University of Montreal, I offer personalized support in French writing aimed primarily at students and adults wishing to improve their writing.
The sessions may focus on structuring a text, formulating a problem, organizing ideas, clarity of argumentation, syntax, vocabulary, reformulation, or correcting recurring errors.
For students in literature and humanities, I can also support the methodological work related to the dissertation, commentary, text analysis, the construction of a problem and the development of a plan.
The work is based on your own texts, your difficulties, and your goals. The idea is to understand what can be improved, to develop reusable methods, and to progress toward clearer, more precise, and more independent writing. In most cases, significant progress can already be observed after two to three sessions.
This support is also suitable for people whose native language is not French and who wish to gain fluency in their academic or professional writing.
