About Me

I’m a passionate and approachable graphic designer who enjoys helping students build both creative confidence and practical real-world skills. My teaching style is hands-on, supportive, and tailored to each student’s goals, whether you’re a complete beginner, a student preparing for creative studies, or someone looking to improve professionally.

I believe graphic design is more than just learning software — it’s about understanding how to think creatively, communicate visually, and develop strong workflows that make your work stand out. In my lessons, students learn not only design principles like typography, layout, colour, and branding, but also how to work efficiently, stay organised, and manage projects like a professional designer.

My classes are project-based and interactive, with real creative exercises that help students apply what they learn immediately. I focus on creating a relaxed and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable experimenting, asking questions, and developing their own style.

I particularly enjoy teaching students who are curious, motivated, and excited to grow creatively. Whether your goal is to build a portfolio, learn design software, improve your workflow, or simply become more confident in design, I adapt lessons to your pace and interests. I am supportive and will go the extra mile to encourage growth and development.

My aim is to help students not only create strong visual work, but also develop the mindset, passion, structure, and confidence needed to succeed in creative environments.

Most kids think coding is for "smart kids" or "future programmers."
It's not. Coding is how real people solve real problems.
In this class, we skip the theory. Your child creates real things.

What they'll do:
✓ Build real projects in Scratch: a working game, an interactive animation, a story they coded
✓ Program virtual robots: solve real-world challenges (navigate a maze, automate a task, build a system)
✓ Create in Minecraft Education: design worlds, automate constructions, solve logic problems
✓ Experiment with different languages: not just learn "the right way," but understand that there are many ways to think about a problem
✓ Collaborate and share: work with other kids, get feedback, improve their work
✓ Develop logical thinking: not just for coding, but for anything: solving math problems, science challenges, real-world situations

Why this is different:
We don't teach syntax. We teach how programmers think.
Most children's coding courses say "here's the code, copy it." We teach "what problem are we trying to solve? How could we break it into steps? What options do we have?"
When your child learns to think like a programmer, they can learn any language afterward.

What they take home:
A portfolio of 3–4 completed, working projects. The ability to say "I built this." And the deep understanding that code is a tool to make real things happen.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible pace, no prior experience needed
For curious 8-12 year olds who want to build.

How to prepare for a media interview? What means should be used to fight his fear of the camera and improve his image? How to present yourself and your project in front of a camera?

How to present yourself and your project to the media?

Targeted content according to your project: Verbal and / or gestural communication; Seduction of the lens and / or microphone; Improvisation in front of a microphone and / or a camera; Voice & gaze; Games of one or two cameras; Chronic; Animation; Reportage; Direct radio & TV; Interview; Narration; Speech in all its forms (...)

In short, several objectives:
◾ Confront your shyness in front of the microphone / camera.
◾ Understand his speech and his diction.
◾ Taming the media environment (radio / tv).
◾ Familiarize yourself with your image and voice.
◾ Manage your speaking time.

Through exercises (diction, voice, presence, breathing, presentations, time management, etc.), role plays, interview simulations and familiarization with one's image and voice, the participants move at their own pace in a flexible educational framework.

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.

Indeed, speaking is a predominantly physical activity, which, while taking care of its image, is based on a body, a voice, a breath, a rhythm (diction) and an emotion (the imagination and the sensations ) reflecting the speaker's involvement in his speech. How to send a clear message? How to make the difference, to make an impression?

Knowing how to speak, act and interact in public is almost a necessity today: your public speaking must be effective and efficient with clear, simple and powerful messages.

Simple and pragmatic tools will be presented for: generating listening ● making an impression ● fostering confidence ● generating need ● motivating teams by explaining a strategy ● getting messages across within groups ● overcoming shyness by assimilating 3 CRV axes (body-breathing-voice) ● better manage disagreement or conflict.

Mastered, the method allows:
• improve self-confidence and stress management with the development of the speaker's fluency (verbal-bodily), his public speaking and his sense of repartee and improvisation.
• to work on their ease, leadership, charisma, creativity and personal development through scenarios.
* improve the characteristics of the spoken voice (timbre, pitches, intention, flow).
* get your message across through your image, while gaining improvisation skills and responsiveness.

Supplemented by basic exercises (diction, voice, presence, breathing, presentation, time management), role plays, improvisations and simulations. With the key word: pronunciation, diction / articulation, the sense of repartee.

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

Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication and public speaking, in renowned international public and private establishments, intervening in forums and conferences, and oriented on pedagogy and careful methodology.

- 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 to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of live (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (example: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). 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!

I offer personalised one-to-one online portfolio mentoring for students applying to art and design courses in the UK and internationally.

I am an experienced art educator, graphic designer and researcher with more than 30 years of teaching experience. Most recently, I taught international students at EF Academy Oxford, supporting learners from a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds.

I am based in Oxford and can support students in university portfolio preparation to study Art, Graphic Design, Graphic Communication Design, Fashion Design, Architecture, Interior Design, Illustration, Photography, Textile Design, Product Design, Animation, Foundation Art and Design, and other creative programmes.

My guidance may include:

1- Developing original ideas and personal themes.
2- Strengthening sketchbooks and creative processes.
3- Developing creative ideas and experimenting with materials and techniques.
4- Strengthening drawing, painting, design and visual communication skills.
5- Selecting, refining and presenting work for university portfolios.
6- Personal-statement and interview preparation.
7- Understanding the expectations of UK art and design courses.

My approach is supportive, honest and individually tailored. I help students recognise what is already strong in their work and understand how to develop it further.

Portfolio preparation requires regular effort, so I work best with motivated students who are prepared to engage seriously with the creative process.

Online lessons are available internationally.

I provide personalised English coaching for professionals and business people who want to communicate more confidently and effectively in international environments.
My lessons are practical and tailored to each student’s individual needs, level and professional situation. Rather than following a standard textbook programme, I focus on the English you actually need for your work and everyday professional communication.
Sessions can include Business English, conversation and fluency, presentations, meetings and negotiations, professional vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and accuracy, and preparation for interviews or important professional situations.
I also work with students to identify recurring mistakes and communication habits that may be holding them back. We then address these systematically through conversation, targeted exercises and regular feedback.
With extensive international business and consulting experience, I can also help experienced professionals develop the language, confidence and communication style needed when working with international colleagues, clients and senior management.
My approach is supportive, practical and conversation-focused. The objective is not simply to improve your English, but to help you communicate naturally, clearly and confidently when it matters.

As a high school Economics and Management teacher, I currently teach management as well as management science and digital technology in the first year of STMG (Science and Technology of Management and Business).

I offer support specifically designed for STMG students who wish to better understand the concepts of the program, improve their method, progress in the analysis of management situations or prepare for their assessments and the baccalaureate.

In management, we work in particular on the identification and characterization of organizations, their purposes, their stakeholders, their functioning, their choices and the management problems they face.

In management and digital sciences, the objective is to understand the mechanisms studied from concrete situations: functioning of organizations, individuals and actors, information, digital technology, value creation and other concepts of the program.

Particular attention is paid to the method: analyzing a situation, correctly using a document, mobilizing the relevant concept, justifying an answer and writing in a clear and structured manner.

The sessions are tailored to each student's difficulties and combine review of concepts, targeted explanations, exercises, and methodological training. Summary materials can be provided when necessary.

The goal is for the student to no longer simply learn their lesson: they must understand the concepts, be able to recognize them in a real situation and be able to use them in a reasoned response.
