About Me

I like to teach strategically so students understand why we are learning what we are learning, in what context to use it and most importantly how to make similar decisions and do better work and preparation for themselves.

If you no longer need me I have done a good job.

I will use short presentations, case study questions, frameworks and workshops that we use, as well as teaching useful tools. I will be constantly pulling from work experience and training I have had in different contexts.

I will also teach or pull in teaching on client work and other team roles and how best to work with them whether they are assessing you or you working with them as this is critical for project and career success.

I also like to address your goals to ensure you are not sucked into the working machine but that it is a tool for you to achieve your needs and desires and you know how to communicate to get the best out of your career with good timing.

Adapted to each case and need, the objective is support in accessing a job, from the search for departure to the signing of the contract:
- After the search and selection of relevant advertisements, establish and illustrate your transversal skills profile then create an attractive CV and write a striking cover letter highlighting your professional background
- stand out in the preparation of their interviews, from oral presentation to expression through appropriate body language. Interview simulation & video analysis filmed if necessary.
- Identify your values, promote your professional project / your assets and strengths but also work on areas for improvement in order to find new momentum in your career.

Note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed in the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish.

Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 sessions. (study 2020)

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne.

But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: chat notes that can be read later).
In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place in a very optimal way and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. Take good care of yourself and yours.

Sometimes we doubt ourselves and what we are capable of. That's human. However, I want you to be able to see yourself for who you really are and what you bring to the table.

Confidence building is important for all age groups. It can help a child of 10 years old be able to come out of their shell, see what they are capable of, and find their own voice. It can do the same for a teenager who has experienced trauma and now does not know where they fit, how they move forward or who they truly are anymore.
It can help all people, in all walks of life.

Through building one's confidence and finding their own voice and who they are, they get the beautiful chance to experience life to the fullest without letting fear and anxiety of what others will think hold them back.

Perhaps it’s breaking an old habit, learning a new skill, or simply finding more enjoyment in your life. In tailor-made coaching sessions with a trained coach/counselor, you’ll gain awareness of thoughts and behaviors that are holding you back and find new creative pathways forward. You’ll also better understand the human experience of making a change and learn how to avoid common pitfalls and find flow.

Great for New Year’s resolutions!

Do you need to improve your English so that you can participate fluently and confidently in business meetings, presentations, webinars, telephone conversations or interviews? You may be aiming for a job in the EU institutions or other organisations in Brussels. Or you could be working in an international company or studying for a Masters or another qualification...

I have been a qualified, professional English teacher and translator for more than 20 years. My courses enable learners to actively produce the language, repeat useful expressions until they are habitual and correct mistakes until they are removed. Although I am happy to explain and practice grammatical issues, the focus is on effective, correct and appropriate communication by using visual material, videos, interesting topics for discussion and challenging quizzes. As I have advanced knowledge of French, German and Czech, I can particularly appreciate and correct the issues speakers of these languages have in English, but this is also the case for Dutch speakers.

There is also the possibility of specialist English courses in the areas linked to my experience (see below): how the EU works; environmental, energy, regional or agricultural policies; economics.

- Advisor in EU policies and funding for 12 years (regional policy, economic development)
- Director of a regional representation to the EU and member of a management team
- Certificate in TESOL with business
- BA(Honours) in Modern Languages & Modern History, Oxford University
- Post-graduate in Economics, London University

This course shows students how AI is the engine behind modern video games. It’s an engaging, project-based track ideal for advanced concepts in a fun, relatable environment.

Behavioral AI: Using simple visual programming environments (like Scratch or similar platforms) to program smarter Non-Player Characters (NPCs) that react realistically to the player's actions.

Generative Assets: Learning how game studios use generative AI tools to rapidly create textures, background stories, or simple game environments.

Interactive Storytelling: Exploring decision-tree logic and how AI can adapt game narratives based on player choices, making the game feel dynamic and intelligent.

SEN Alignment: The visual and immediate feedback loop of game design environments is highly effective for kinetic learners and helps maintain focus.
