Understanding how to use English Time Tenses properly has and continues to be a challenge for many business owners and professionals.
What do they mean?
What are their auxiliaries?
How are they formulated?
Which time words correspond to which time tense?
Is there a difference in using these tenses in speech versus in writing?

Learn how ALL of the English time tenses work in 3-compact sessions!

Every kid has ideas. Most never do anything with them.
This course changes that.

I believe inside every kid is an entrepreneur. Not necessarily someone who wants to be "CEO" but someone capable of seeing a problem, imagining a solution, and making it real.

In this course, your child will:
✓ Develop a real business idea: something they actually care about, not an abstract project
✓ Understand the market: Who needs this? Why? Who else offers it? Why would theirs be better?
✓ Create a simple business plan: the version that actually works, not 50 pages of jargon
✓ Design a brand: logo, name, story. Why their business exists (not just to make money)
✓ Build and test their idea: even at small scale, they'll see if people actually want what they created
✓ Learn to lead a team: we work in groups, so they'll experience real collaboration
✓ Use technology smartly: real tools to grow a business
✓ Get feedback from real entrepreneurs: not just from me, but from people building things right now

Why this is different:
Most "entrepreneurship courses for kids" teach theory. Here we build something real.
Your child won't just learn about entrepreneurship. They'll experience it: having an idea, developing it, sharing it, and getting genuine feedback.

Some will have a business. Others will discover it's not for them. Both are successes because they learned something real about themselves.

What they take home:
A complete business plan. A brand they designed. A presentation they delivered. And most importantly: the conviction that their ideas matter and they can make them real.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Group and individual work, flexible

For kids with big ideas and adults who want to nurture them.

With my medical knowledge skills I took many classes for communication, paraphrasing, active listing etc. The psychology, body knowledge and how the brain works (neurology) has all been thought to me during my medical training. I would like to put my skills out there that I have obtained together with my sports’ and nutrition qualification to help other people acheive their goals and their potential. People struggling with weight, to do lists, procrastination, bringing an idea out there or developing their business plan can contact me.

I’m a certified Chinese teacher who enjoys helping learners discover that Chinese can be both practical and enjoyable. With a strong interest in communication and people, I am especially good at working with teenagers, building trust with them, understanding their learning needs, and encouraging them to express themselves with confidence. Rather than focusing only on textbooks and grammar, I like to make lessons lively, relevant, and connected to real life.

I also enjoy working with adult learners, whether they are beginners, professionals, parents, or simply people who have always wanted to learn Chinese. I understand that adults often have different goals, learning habits, and concerns, so I adapt my teaching style to each individual. I’m particularly good at teaching adults through sharing and meaningful exchange. I place greater emphasis on listening and guiding learners rather than relying on a one-way, input-based teaching approach. I hope to be not only a teacher, but also a supportive learning partner who helps you make steady progress—and enjoy the journey of learning Chinese along the way.
