Albanian/"Shqip"(Improve Academic/Language skills, Proofreading): Beginner/Intermediate/AdvancedAlbanian as a language is very distinguishable as it has its own branch in the Indo-Europian language tree. It is an ancient language transferred from the Illyrians who lived in the Balkan peninsula. As it is my native language, I have always helped and tutored people who are ethnically Albanian but have been raised outside of Kosovo or Albania and do not have a complete understanding of their mother tongue. Together, we will focus on all fundamentals, including the core bases of Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking. Throughout lessons, we will practice together with additional homework. I am looking forward to meeting you soon. "Jeni të mirëseardhur!".

Bachelor of classical singing
My education was very various: my core subjects were conducting, choir, voice, piano. So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world.
As for singer who studied a lot about different approaches, technics and singing schools "Speech Training" was a part of the main subjects. It is extremely important to have clear pronunciation, make it sound free/relaxed (without any tension or unhealthy blocks) more confident, and emotional.
On our Speech training lessons I will help you to make your speech more clear, your voice will sound more healthy and confident.

EVERYDAY EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND EMPATHY, AT THE SERVICE OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATIONThis training allows you to learn about the concepts of emotional intelligence & empathy with the aim of better recognizing and understanding your own emotions and those of others. Being aware of emotions allows better management of behavior in human relationships, both in the professional, private, entrepreneurial framework (...). For example, as a key to management, it makes it possible to:
• Measure the impact of emotions in team management.
• Analyze your own mode of operation to get the most out of it.
• To be able to put in place strategies to regulate his own emotions and those of his collaborators.
• Know how to approach delicate interviews taking into account the emotional factor.
• To be able to understand, recognize and name his own emotions as well as those of his collaborators.
• Discover the emotional process.
• Manage the team (the impact of emotions on communication and decision making), the emotional quotient and
leadership styles.
• Motivate and mobilize its employees over the long term, and in particular in the context of interviews "to
strong emotional potential "(reframing, motivation, problem solving, tense sessions, conflicts etc).
Emotional intelligence is a process of personal development over time. This training allows you to initiate the process, with concrete tools that can be applied on a daily basis. This training combines group activities, individual reflections, videos and scenarios.
From theory to practice with simulations. It is a question of putting in place rational and professional tools to achieve the objectives set together and overcome the blockages initially defined.
Controlled, the techniques allow:
• to rely on emotional intelligence and capitalize on the empathy communicated to better ensure that his message is better received his message or being.
• improve credibility, self-confidence and ease (verbal-bodily) with public speaking and a more fluid sense of repartee.
• defuse conflicts and enter your comfort / safety zone. In particular simple and logical techniques, which make it possible to resolve and manage violent situations in a harmonious, effective and lasting way, for example through NVC (Non Violent Communication).
• better manage negotiation situations (contrary to the stereotypes conveyed, negotiation is not only financial, but it can be small everyday events).
• Match the content and form of your message while improving the use of your emotional intelligence.
What you will get out of it:
• Better control of emotions and therefore of your way of communicating
• Better understanding of the feelings of others and the ability to lead them successfully
• Better relationships in personal and professional life thanks to superior emotional intelligence
• Less stress thanks to a better understanding of one's emotions and those of others
• Greater determination and results-oriented mindset
• Ways to develop and apply emotional intelligence in the workplace

(Online) Mathematics Tutoring for High School StudentsHigh School Math can be confusing for students. Often there is not enough time in school to repeat the content and practice enough, for the students to gain confidence and a routine in solving mathematical problems. With my help and guidance, any confusion will be cleared and we will practice problem solving until you are confident and understand the material.
The lessons will be tailored to your needs and their structure depends highly on you: usually it is a mixture of repeating the content, solving exercises together, summarising important concepts and talking about exercises you tried yourself at home. The topics, content, pace and methods of learning will be adjusted to your needs, ensuring that you get the most out of my lessons. Besides the lessons, you will get "homework" to work on to strengthen your skills and independent working.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
-Linear Algebra
-Calculus
-Trigonometry
-Geometry
-Set Theory
-Analysis
If you have another topic in mind that you really need help with, just send me a message!
Whether you need someone that explains the concepts to you or just someone to practice exercises with - I am sure I can help you. You have an exam soon and want to review the main topics? No problem! You have a very specific problem, question or topic that you need help with? I'm here to answer any questions! You need help with preparing for your A-levels/High School diploma? Don't fret, I will guide and prepare you!
The most important part of my lessons is, however, to ensure a safe and comfortable environment - I have no issue with explaining the same concept over and over again until I am convinced that you have understood it. It is important to me that you feel comfortable in asking any questions - I want to show you, that Math is more than a subject and that it can be fun!
