Do you hate making English mistakes at work? Do you want to ask questions but don't know how? Are telephone calls awful? Do you need to negotiate, talk to a boss, make small talk, attend a conference, write emails, etc.? Does using English at work make you nervous?

If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, you are not alone! Most English language learners are scared to make mistakes in front of people, especially at work.

In my Business English class, I prepare students to speak in a variety of business situations. You will learn the vocabulary, useful phrases, and communication skills necessary for working in English.

In each class, we 1) Learn vocabulary, grammar, and useful information, 2) Complete activities to practice using what we learned, and 3) Have a conversation or role-play activity to use what you learned in a natural way.

Opening a school is one of my biggest ambitions,

When I was younger I was a curious student, and uncomfortable with the school system. Of those whose capacities we praise and before whom we get angry at the lack of discipline.
So I learned by myself, and found myself to be a form of self-taught person who persevered to validate diplomas with flying colors, and not to deprive myself of doing something else.

In short, I learned to learn and trust myself while being demanding with myself, I am fortunate to know how to tame my brain so that knowledge is a desire, not a chore.
You never learn better than when you like it, when you find it attractive. Desire is born rigor.

Winner of negotiation contests and participants, organizers and trainers in public speaking, I realize that oral communication offers considerable advantages in today's world.

So this is what I want to give, confidence, keys, desire and results.

We are here to succeed.

2. Dissociate the relational and the nature of the disagreement - Overcome cognitive and psychological obstacles
3. Acquire the techniques of self-defense and mastery without hurting and being injured
4. Face and then defuse difficult behaviors (blackmail attempts, threats, destabilization) or even dangerous with a mediation strategy
5. Develop conflict management and negotiation skills by alternating attentive listening, active speaking and rationality in the face of the limited rationality of the angry individual.

➤ On the telephone, in a meeting, in front of a client, his family (...), relevant and successful speaking must always be effective and efficient, with clear, simple and impactful messages, creating a balance between the message received and message sent. Coherence between form and content. The important thing in communication is not the confidence we have in ourselves, but the appearance of confidence we exude.

➤ So, how do you listen and be listened to, convince/persuade and be impactful, challenge and leave an impression, enhance your content, address your audience relevantly and optimize the quality & clarity of the exchange/message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques of oral presentation, simple intervention or 'one to one' exchange, aiming to challenge one's audience or interlocutor, taking care of both the content and the form. , all in a professional or personal setting. Here again, there is a range of precise verbal and non-verbal communication techniques which, once modernized and brought up to date, will be put to the service of your reality. Allowing you to move from fear to pleasure in front of the public.

➤ 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, self-assurance, ease by overcoming discomfort and controlling his emotion in public. But also to work on your leadership & charisma, in a context where empathy and emotional intelligence are at the service of communication.

✓Decode and use the practical communication tools of great leaders
✓Fundamentals (practices) of eloquence but also of oratorical art (intonation, gaze, gestures, elocution, range, emotions, pronunciation, development of one's own style of charisma, etc.) to ensure consistency between content and the form
✓Fundamentals of Body Language to support and not interfere with the speech while being convinced & convincing.

✓ Optimizing internal and external relationships are professional fundamentals, so the structure of meetings, dialogue within the company, and mastery of change communication are invaluable.

(...)

➤ In addition, you will leave with concrete and immediately useful tools, developed in the form of practical lightning modules: learning to say no, getting a delicate message across, selling an idea, expressing disagreement with an authority, getting a "yes" without upsetting someone, resisting the pressure of a too-quick "yes", calming someone who has taken your words badly (...).

➤ In short, public speaking skills are now an essential cross-functional skill for asserting oneself, informing, negotiating, and persuading. However, to master the keys to successful public communication, it is necessary to enhance the impact of one's own speeches: by structuring one's interventions and taking into account the circumstances and the audience's expectations; by making a lasting impression through storytelling; by integrating the psychological and emotional factors of effective oral communication; by incorporating emotions into the preparation of the message and arguments; by anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an engaging and convincing presentation outline; by experimenting with the rules of improvisation; and by appropriately managing difficult situations (...).

➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practical exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live, to have an external perspective and areas for improvement) , so that you will be able to apply them immediately, and from the first session.

➤Progress following these sessions is noticeable from 2 to 3 sessions (*study 2026).

➤ Make your words a formidable asset. Ready to take things to the next level?

▸ Who I Work With?

My lessons are not for beginners looking to learn "ni hao" and "xie xie." They are for:

- Entrepreneurs and business owners who want to understand Chinese business culture, negotiation dynamics, and market rules

- Academics and intellectuals — including the university professors I've taught, and anyone hungry for deep intellectual dialogue

- Creative professionals who want to understand Chinese aesthetics, internet culture, and consumer sensibilities

- Deep thinkers who want to explore philosophy, social psychology, and the differences between Eastern and Western civilizations

If you need a tutor to walk you through textbook exercises, I'm probably not your person. If you need someone who has actually sat at the negotiation table, built real things, and can engage with your ideas seriously — book a lesson with me.

──────────────────

▸ Teaching Experience:

I have two years of offline Chinese teaching experience. My students have included Korean automotive designers, American software engineers, European entrepreneurs, and university professors. I adapt well to students from diverse cultural backgrounds and tailor lesson plans to your specific goals.

──────────────────

▸ What You Can Expect:

Every lesson is built around your specific goals:

- Business & Negotiation Chinese — learn to read between the lines in Chinese business communication, structure a persuasive pitch, and handle high-stakes conversations

- Project-Based Learning — bring your real project, whether it's a business plan, a brand deck, or a speech, and we'll work on it directly in Chinese

- Deep Intellectual Dialogue — explore topics like "the future relationship between humanity and AI," "the driving forces behind China's peaceful rise," or "the collision of Eastern and Western ways of thinking" — all while sharpening your advanced Chinese expression

- HSK Exam Preparation (Optional) — If you're working toward an HSK certification, I can integrate exam-focused vocabulary and grammar into our business Chinese lessons, ensuring your exam preparation never feels like rote memorization.

I don't do scripted role-plays. I do real conversations about things that truly matter to you.

──────────────────

▸ Teaching Style

As a self-taught psychology enthusiast, I bring deep listening and empathy into my classroom. My teaching style is safe and fully accepting: I refrain from quick judgment, and I use questions to guide you in clarifying your thoughts and reaching the heart of a topic. What you'll gain is not just fluency, but a deeply understanding, warm conversational experience.

──────────────────

Maybe you're still hesitating about whether to learn Chinese.

Or perhaps there's a question you just can't shake —

In the age of AI, when instant translation is everywhere, why invest so much energy in learning a new language?

Here's my answer: a language is the crystallized wisdom of a civilization. It is a vital bridge to touch the thoughts and soul of another people.

When you're no longer satisfied with a surface-level understanding of Chinese, and instead choose to personally feel and experience the collision and nourishment of different ways of thinking — language learning stops being a tedious task. It becomes a journey of breaking out of fixed perceptions and realizing deeper self-awareness. In this exploration, you'll come to understand the cultural meanings and thought patterns behind the language. And in the process of understanding Chinese, you'll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your own culture.

Just as AI can never replace a psychologist, capturing your non-verbal, subconscious self-expression — it can also never replace your own firsthand experience, to reap this enormous, long-term value that transcends language itself.

So, what are you waiting for? Book your first lesson now.

I truly look forward to meeting you in class. Let's work together toward your goals.

✅Practical sessions aimed at providing you with tools, techniques, methods and strategies to better formulate your messages, choose the right words and arguments, and more effectively obtain what you want, by understanding the psychology of your interlocutors and the mechanisms of human communication.

You're constantly negotiating—at work, with your family, in your relationships. The difference between reaching an agreement and remaining dissatisfied often lies in how things are said, the timing, and the other person's understanding. The goal is to learn to decode your interlocutors (their motivations, resistance, and ways of operating) and adapt your verbal and non-verbal communication to be better understood, without confrontation or power struggles, with finesse and efficiency, until these reflexes become second nature.

The approach integrates the analysis of behaviors, modes of expression, and verbal and non-verbal signals (semiotics, relational dynamics, profiles, and human reactions) to identify expectations, obstacles, and motivations. This allows for precise adjustment of communication and maximizes the impact of each interaction, whether in a professional or personal context.

Rather than generic techniques, it is about understanding the real functioning of the human being and adapting one's discourse to the person in front of: capturing attention, arousing curiosity, reducing resistance and triggering action.

Do you hate making English mistakes at work? Do you want to ask questions but don't know how? Are telephone calls awful? Do you need to negotiate, talk to a boss, make small talk, attend a conference, write emails, etc.? Does using English at work make you nervous?

If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, you are not alone! Most English language learners are scared to make mistakes in front of people, especially at work.

In my Business English class, I prepare students to speak in a variety of business situations. You will learn the vocabulary, useful phrases, and communication skills necessary for working in English.

In each class, we 1) Learn vocabulary, grammar, and useful information, 2) Complete activities to practice using what we learned, and 3) Have a conversation or role-play activity to use what you learned in a natural way.

Opening a school is one of my biggest ambitions,

When I was younger I was a curious student, and uncomfortable with the school system. Of those whose capacities we praise and before whom we get angry at the lack of discipline.
So I learned by myself, and found myself to be a form of self-taught person who persevered to validate diplomas with flying colors, and not to deprive myself of doing something else.

In short, I learned to learn and trust myself while being demanding with myself, I am fortunate to know how to tame my brain so that knowledge is a desire, not a chore.
You never learn better than when you like it, when you find it attractive. Desire is born rigor.

Winner of negotiation contests and participants, organizers and trainers in public speaking, I realize that oral communication offers considerable advantages in today's world.

So this is what I want to give, confidence, keys, desire and results.

We are here to succeed.

➤ So, how do you listen and be listened to, convince/persuade and be impactful, challenge and leave an impression, enhance your content, address your audience relevantly and optimize the quality & clarity of the exchange/message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques of oral presentation, simple intervention or 'one to one' exchange, aiming to challenge one's audience or interlocutor, taking care of both the content and the form. , all in a professional or personal setting. Here again, there is a range of precise verbal and non-verbal communication techniques which, once modernized and brought up to date, will be put to the service of your reality.

➤ In addition, you will leave with concrete and immediately useful tools, developed in the form of practical lightning modules: learning to say no, getting a delicate message across, selling an idea, expressing disagreement with an authority, getting a "yes" without upsetting someone, resisting the pressure of a too-quick "yes", calming someone who has taken your words badly (...).

➤ In short, public speaking skills are now an essential cross-functional skill for asserting oneself, informing, negotiating, and persuading. However, to master the keys to successful public communication, it is necessary to enhance the impact of one's own speeches: by structuring one's interventions and taking into account the circumstances and the audience's expectations; by making a lasting impression through storytelling; by integrating the psychological and emotional factors of effective oral communication; by incorporating emotions into the preparation of the message and arguments; by anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an engaging and convincing presentation outline; by experimenting with the rules of improvisation; and by appropriately managing difficult situations (...).

➤Progress following these sessions is noticeable from 2 to 3 sessions (*study 2026).

▸ Who I Work With?

My lessons are not for beginners looking to learn "ni hao" and "xie xie." They are for:

- Entrepreneurs and business owners who want to understand Chinese business culture, negotiation dynamics, and market rules

- Academics and intellectuals — including the university professors I've taught, and anyone hungry for deep intellectual dialogue

- Creative professionals who want to understand Chinese aesthetics, internet culture, and consumer sensibilities

- Deep thinkers who want to explore philosophy, social psychology, and the differences between Eastern and Western civilizations

If you need a tutor to walk you through textbook exercises, I'm probably not your person. If you need someone who has actually sat at the negotiation table, built real things, and can engage with your ideas seriously — book a lesson with me.

──────────────────

▸ Teaching Experience:

I have two years of offline Chinese teaching experience. My students have included Korean automotive designers, American software engineers, European entrepreneurs, and university professors. I adapt well to students from diverse cultural backgrounds and tailor lesson plans to your specific goals.

──────────────────

▸ What You Can Expect:

Every lesson is built around your specific goals:

- Business & Negotiation Chinese — learn to read between the lines in Chinese business communication, structure a persuasive pitch, and handle high-stakes conversations

- Project-Based Learning — bring your real project, whether it's a business plan, a brand deck, or a speech, and we'll work on it directly in Chinese

- Deep Intellectual Dialogue — explore topics like "the future relationship between humanity and AI," "the driving forces behind China's peaceful rise," or "the collision of Eastern and Western ways of thinking" — all while sharpening your advanced Chinese expression

- HSK Exam Preparation (Optional) — If you're working toward an HSK certification, I can integrate exam-focused vocabulary and grammar into our business Chinese lessons, ensuring your exam preparation never feels like rote memorization.

I don't do scripted role-plays. I do real conversations about things that truly matter to you.

──────────────────

▸ Teaching Style

As a self-taught psychology enthusiast, I bring deep listening and empathy into my classroom. My teaching style is safe and fully accepting: I refrain from quick judgment, and I use questions to guide you in clarifying your thoughts and reaching the heart of a topic. What you'll gain is not just fluency, but a deeply understanding, warm conversational experience.

──────────────────

Maybe you're still hesitating about whether to learn Chinese.

Or perhaps there's a question you just can't shake —

In the age of AI, when instant translation is everywhere, why invest so much energy in learning a new language?

Here's my answer: a language is the crystallized wisdom of a civilization. It is a vital bridge to touch the thoughts and soul of another people.

When you're no longer satisfied with a surface-level understanding of Chinese, and instead choose to personally feel and experience the collision and nourishment of different ways of thinking — language learning stops being a tedious task. It becomes a journey of breaking out of fixed perceptions and realizing deeper self-awareness. In this exploration, you'll come to understand the cultural meanings and thought patterns behind the language. And in the process of understanding Chinese, you'll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your own culture.

Just as AI can never replace a psychologist, capturing your non-verbal, subconscious self-expression — it can also never replace your own firsthand experience, to reap this enormous, long-term value that transcends language itself.

So, what are you waiting for? Book your first lesson now.

I truly look forward to meeting you in class. Let's work together toward your goals.

✅Practical sessions aimed at providing you with tools, techniques, methods and strategies to better formulate your messages, choose the right words and arguments, and more effectively obtain what you want, by understanding the psychology of your interlocutors and the mechanisms of human communication.

You're constantly negotiating—at work, with your family, in your relationships. The difference between reaching an agreement and remaining dissatisfied often lies in how things are said, the timing, and the other person's understanding. The goal is to learn to decode your interlocutors (their motivations, resistance, and ways of operating) and adapt your verbal and non-verbal communication to be better understood, without confrontation or power struggles, with finesse and efficiency, until these reflexes become second nature.

The approach integrates the analysis of behaviors, modes of expression, and verbal and non-verbal signals (semiotics, relational dynamics, profiles, and human reactions) to identify expectations, obstacles, and motivations. This allows for precise adjustment of communication and maximizes the impact of each interaction, whether in a professional or personal context.

Rather than generic techniques, it is about understanding the real functioning of the human being and adapting one's discourse to the person in front of: capturing attention, arousing curiosity, reducing resistance and triggering action.

Objective: to concretely increase your chances of obtaining the desired result, with efficiency, finesse and respect for others.
