Travel French, getting around France with Ease, ooo lala ;)

54 C$ /h

Are you planning a trip to France? Do you need some practical phase to get around airports, hotels, restaurants, beaches, ski resorts? Do you need help understanding cultural differences and customs? Would you like to sound less anglosaxon as to avoid the snooty, confused looks? Would you like some great places to visit that are less known than typical travel packages?
Well, I'm the one stop shop. I fell in love with France when I did junior high exchange, majored in French in College, and I've been living here for over 20 years. Here, I'm an English teacher but since I've lived here I'm fluent in French, and in the French ;).
- I can guide you with the language and grammar with some basic, useful vocabulary and phrases.
- We'll practice asking questions which is vital for travelling and life in general.
-I'll give you some pronunciation tips.
-We'll do some role plays and listening comprehension.
-I could also make some good suggestions for off the beaten track places to see and visit.

English training, a multisensoriel approach with a native American

47 C$ /h

No matter what level, or what age, learning a language, especially English is going to serve you. My approach to teaching is interactive and I'd like to stress that what you get out of it, so improving, will depend on your implication. Your effort and positivity will pay off in the long run. I've even written 3 ebook workbooks to accompany you, if you'd like. I adapt to your needs, but I've found that the biggest lack is with the tenses and vocabulary. Listening comp and pronunciation are a closed second (and they're connected:) As you actively apply what you learn, you'll grow in confidence while having fun.
I can also help with your CV, cover letters, interviews in English, or presentations.

My name is Denise and I am a professional singer and vocal coach with a Master’s degree in Historical Singing, Musicology and Music Education from the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya (ESMUC).

I have over 10 years of teaching experience in Europe and Latin America, working with students from diverse cultural and musical backgrounds in private lessons, artistic projects, and educational contexts.

My artistic work includes early music and chamber repertoire, as well as Latin American folk, jazz, and contemporary crossover styles. This diversity strongly informs my teaching approach, which is flexible, stylistically open, and based on healthy vocal function.

From your very first lesson to the audition room, I help singers develop a beautiful voice that is free, secure and expressive.

My name is Maria Koroleva and I am a professional opera soprano with elite conservatoire training based in Cologne. I perform with Oper Köln and have sung at major opera theaters such as Deutsche Oper am Rhein, Opéra de Lille, Musiktheater Pforzheim and Amare Theatre.

My lessons combine secure vocal technique, refined artistic interpretation and practical performance psychology, giving you everything you need to sing with confidence.

• More range, stamina and a voice you can rely on, even under pressure
• Stage confidence, with practical performance psychology I use myself
• Musicality, style and expression across different repertoire
• Repertoire chosen for your voice and goals: opera, oratorio, art song (Lieder) and musical theatre
• Focused preparation for auditions, competitions, conservatory entry and ABRSM exams

MY TRAINING
• Master of Music in Opera, Dutch National Opera Academy, Amsterdam (Excellence Award)
• Master of Music in Vocal Performance with Distinction, Royal College of Music, London
• Graduate Diploma in Voice, Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory
• Bachelor of Music in Vocal Pedagogy with Honours, Moscow University for the Humanities

HOW I TEACH
Every lesson is built around you: your voice, your goals and your pace. I explain clearly why we do each exercise, so you understand your voice and can practise effectively between lessons. You'll leave each lesson knowing exactly what improved and what to work on next.

Whether you want to sing for joy, get ready for an exam or prepare for a career on stage, I'll help you get there with care, structure and professional standards.

Book your first lesson and let's discover what your voice can do. I look forward to hearing you sing!

My lessons are tailored to each student’s age, experience, and goals.

Children (7–12 years old)
For younger students, lessons focus on building confidence while making learning fun. We begin with simple vocal warm-ups and ear training to develop pitch and intonation, then move on to singing their favourite songs, encouraging good vocal habits in an enjoyable way.

Teenagers (12-17 years old)
With teenage students, we start with more structured vocal warm-ups and exercises. As we discover their natural voice, we work on developing a comfortable vocal range, improving technique, and applying these skills through songs that suit their voice and interests.

Adults and seniors (18+)
For adult students, lessons are usually divided into two parts. We begin with vocal technique, focusing on breathing, diaphragm support, scales, arpeggios, and intonation. We then apply these techniques through singing, helping you develop confidence, control, and healthy vocal habits. I will give you repertoire to study or we will study the pieces you have to prepare. The final goal will be to sing on a musical accompaniment.

Every student learns at a different pace. Some may spend more time building a solid technical foundation before moving on to more challenging repertoire, and that’s perfectly fine. My priority is to ensure that every student feels comfortable, supported, and confident throughout their vocal journey.

I teach children, teenagers, and adults and seniors from complete beginners to advanced singers. My classical training provides a strong technical foundation that can be applied to any musical style, whether you enjoy pop, musical theatre, jazz, rock, or classical singing. Whatever your age or experience, I’d love to help you discover and develop your voice. Let’s sing!

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.

Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 or 3 sessions *. (* study 2020)

Postgraduate School Training & Ivy league college in the United States, our teacher has specialized and worked for over 13 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication and public speaking in renowned public and private international institutions, involved in forums and conferences, and focused on two areas: training and coaching, with the key words pedagogy and careful methodology.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

In our Oud class, I will guide you through everything from basic to advanced techniques. We will cover playing for all levels, correct left-hand use, synchronizing with the right hand, handling the pick, tuning the Oud, and effectively using a tuner and metronome. In the remaining time, we will dive into reading musical notes, starting with basic Solfege and progressing to advanced and oriental Solfege, including dictation exercises. This comprehensive approach ensures a well-rounded musical journey

My recommendation for learning the Oud is to begin by studying musical notes and notation before delving into songs. While some students prefer to jump straight into playing songs, understanding the fundamentals of music notation accelerates progress in the long run. Dedication and hard work can yield significant progress within a year, enabling you to play simple tunes.

Feel free to leave me a message, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

I am Natalia, a pianist, composer, and music teacher. Music plays a central role in my life and forms the basis of everything I do: playing, creating, and teaching.

At the piano, I constantly discover and develop new musical ideas. Composing music is a natural way for me to express feelings, atmosphere, and stories. Sometimes a composition originates from a small motif or a simple melody that slowly develops into a complete piece of music. My inspiration comes from various sources: life, emotions, nature, films, stories, and moments of silence in which music can arise spontaneously.

My music moves between various styles, with a strong emphasis on melody, atmosphere, and emotion. The foundation often lies in the piano sound, but the musical language I use can contain classical influences as well as modern, cinematic, or popular elements. I love music that evokes images and tells a story, as if the listener can feel a scene or a world simply by listening.

In addition to composing, I also share my musical experience as a music teacher. In my piano lessons, I want to teach students not only how to play notes, but also how to understand, interpret, and experience music. For me, learning music is a process in which technique, listening, creativity, and expression come together. Therefore, in my lessons, I pay attention to musicality, interpretation, and developing a personal musical voice.

My experience as a composer also influences my teaching style. I help students not only to perform music, but also to understand how music is structured and how a melody, harmony, or rhythm is created. In this way, they not only learn to play the piano but also develop deeper musical insight and creativity.

To me, music is a living art form that is constantly growing. As a pianist, composer, and teacher, I want to continue creating, sharing, and passing on music to

I write and play music for a variety of projects where powerful and meaningful music is needed. For example:

• films and short films
• television programs and documentaries
• theatre and stage productions
• commercials and advertising campaigns
• original songs and musical projects
• live piano music for events and special occasions

As mentioned earlier, in addition to composing and performing, I also share my passion for music with others through piano lessons. In my lessons, I guide students—from beginners to advanced—not only to learn to play the piano, but also to truly understand, feel, and create music.

For me, music is more than sounds – it is a way to tell stories, share emotions, and connect people.

Welcome to my musical world.

I offer private lessons in opera singing and vocal coaching, tailored to your level, needs, and desires. 🎶

As a mezzo-soprano opera singer, I graduated with a Master's degree in opera singing from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. I also completed a year of training at the Conservatorio Santa Cecilia in Rome, where I deepened my vocal technique in Italian bel canto.

My method is based on the techniques of operatic art, enriched by my years of training in Belgium and Italy as well as by my professional experience.

🎤 For all levels and all voices

My courses are suitable for both beginners and experienced singers, in operatic singing as well as other styles: pop, variety, jazz, rock or spoken voice.

Whether you wish to discover your voice, progress technically, gain confidence, prepare for an audition, an exam or simply enjoy singing, I offer personalized support according to your objectives.

🌿 A free voice begins with a relaxed body

I pay particular attention to physical relaxation, breathing, and the prevention of vocal tension. My work with speech therapists specializing in voice has allowed me to deepen my understanding of the link between the body and the voice.

I also completed training in polyvagal theory, which enriched my understanding of the links between breath, bodily sensations, and voice. Breathing, relaxation, and vibration exercises can therefore be integrated into the course to prepare the body and promote freer vocal expression.

🎶 Develop a natural and projected voice

The goal is to find a natural projection of the voice, without forcing or creating unnecessary tension, by progressively working on the coordination between breathing, body and vocal production.

Depending on your needs, we can work:

- breathing and support
- posture and body relaxation
- vocal technique and placement
- voice projection
- diction and articulation
- musicality and repertoire
- Body expression and interpretation
- preparation for auditions, exams and concerts

🎭 Theatre in service of the voice

Alongside my musical training, I also have a background in theatre, particularly in the Stanislavski method. This approach allows me to explore voice and interpretation through the body, sensations, images, and intentions.

These tools can be particularly useful for developing a freer, more expressive and personal voice, both in singing and speaking.

✨ My goal: to help you discover your vocal potential and find your own voice, through work that is technical, physical and artistic.

Beginner, amateur, opera singer or simply curious to explore your voice: you are welcome!

Feel free to contact me to discuss your goals and schedule your first lesson. 🎶

Leela is an ancient self-discovery game that helps you explore your current life situation, uncover hidden patterns, and look at your questions from a different perspective.

During this guided Leela session, I will be your facilitator and guide you through the game step by step. You will bring a question, intention, or situation that you would like to explore, and the game will become a framework for reflection and insight.

Together, we will look at the symbols, meanings, and connections that appear throughout your journey and relate them to your personal situation. I will help you interpret the game’s messages, ask thoughtful questions, and notice patterns that may be easy to overlook on your own.

You don’t need any previous experience with Leela. Come with an open mind, a question you genuinely want to explore, and a willingness to reflect.

This session is an opportunity to pause, look at your situation from a new angle, and leave with insights you can apply to your everyday life.

Experienced teacher of Oud and oriental Arabic singing for over 11 years, I am Lebanese and currently residing in Germany. I studied for 8 years at the Lebanese National Conservatory. I taught at the Casa Beethoven Academy in Lebanon and gave private lessons. In addition, I was conductor of the Loubnan Assalam oriental orchestra for over 5 years.

My recommendation for learning the Oud is to start with the study of notes and musical notation before tackling pieces. Although some students prefer to play songs directly, understanding the basics of musical notation allows for faster progress in the long run. With determination and hard work, significant progress can be made in a year, allowing one to play simple melodies.

Please feel free to leave me a message, I will reply as soon as possible.
