Understanding Daoism in depth and context. Get a handle on China's central spiritual practice and what it means.

From 57 C$ /h

Daoism is a simply expressed but incredibly complicated spiritual mode. It can be very difficult to understand just what the verses are getting at, or how to apply it in your life.

In this course, you will be introduced to the four major Daoist works in context, followed by an extensive study of each passage in two translations.

About Me

They say that you need to write a million words of rubbish before you write anything good. I’m on about three or four million now, and I think I’m getting the hang of it. I can't readily think of any kind of academic, corporate, business, or social communications I haven't produced over the years.
I've taught primary school children maths through growing their own gardens, TEFL to adults, and university work including postgraduate science and philosophy students. Along the way I also became a scuba diving instructor and taught a lot of diving, too.
My teaching style is focused on identifying interest. All learning begins with wanting to learn about something so you can better express your thoughts, so it starts not with the technicalities but in unlocking and feeding your own passion and journey.

I'm so dedicated to mastering communication that I record esoteric audiobooks for fun. I'm also familiar with publishing eBooks, paperback, audiobooks, and all associated marketing and advertising content, including putting together a trilingual kid's book about a sausage dog last year. That covers advertising, web design, journalism, teaching material, fiction, E-publishing, academic and audiobooks. My corporate experience includes over a decade of producing content from clinical complaint responses and marketing material to workflows and call-centre training materials.
My systems approach is to make people’s lives easier and let the system do the heavy lifting for compliance. Automating the little stuff lets people focus on the real task at hand. That systems work covers development from teaching schoolchildren maths through gardening to creating at-a-glance indexes for staff, risk and complaints data for a primary care group with 44,000 patients.

Learn to Love Writing. Improve your academic and professional writing in English with quick steps to useful improvements

62 C$ /h

It's easy to get confused writing in English. Even if it is your first language, the way you write for academic, professional or adult purposes is very different to what they teach you at school.

I have significant expertise in every major field of writing, and can help you improve your written English. Depending on your personal needs, this could be anything from helping you get comfortable with just putting sentences together all the way to improving your academic referencing and citation style.

Speak With Confidence: Better English Through Poetry and Verbal Reasoning. Improved speaking, understanding, and grammar.

64 C$ /h

This course was originally developed for a Poetry Olympiad to train high school competitors in a crash-course.

It has two components:
1. Poetry. The poems are selected for their ease of understanding and complexity of performance. Each poem is read aloud in at least two different readings, with focused training on emphasis, pronunciation, and meaning.
2. Verbal Reasoning Tests. These are commonly used to test English understanding. Each test gives a short paragraph then four statements which can be true, false, or not given. In making your decision and double-checking for what's actually being said (rather than implied) you can learn to effectively understand complex or technical English texts.

The course is intended for ten sessions. An initial session will introduce the material and adjust the level of the lessons to your personal needs. Further sessions will include one poem and one verbal reasoning test. Homework between sessions will involve practicing the next poem and reading the next Verbal Reasoning Test (around 200 words).

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.

P.S. I'm not a certified psychologist, but your coach with own experience.

Are you a student wondering about your future? A recent graduate looking for your first job? An employee wanting to advance, negotiate a better salary, or consider a career change?

I offer personalized, practical and non-judgmental support to help you identify your opportunities and achieve your professional goals.

Trained as an engineer and now head of operations, I have built my professional career through several experiences, changes of position and taking on responsibilities.
These developments have allowed me to develop a real ease in job searching, skills development, interview preparation and salary negotiation.
Beyond my own career path, I have always enjoyed supporting those around me in their professional reflections: identifying accessible jobs, discovering training courses, improving a CV, preparing an application or building a strategy to change jobs.

My conviction: good career guidance almost never relies on diplomas or past experiences, but also on the ability to identify opportunities, to value one's potential and to give oneself the means to access them.

How can I assist you?

1. Educational and career guidance
- Identify your interests, skills and aspirations.
- Discover jobs and sectors you might not have necessarily considered.
- Explore the training courses, degrees and certifications that are suitable for your project.
- Compare job opportunities, career prospects and salaries.
- Develop a realistic action plan to achieve your goals.

2. Job search and application optimization
- Create or improve your CV to make it clear, attractive and tailored to recruiters.
- Optimize your LinkedIn profile and professional visibility.
- Quickly identify relevant offers using effective search methods.
- Adapt your applications to the expectations of companies and to the pre-selection tools.
- Develop a strategy to access more opportunities.

3. Interview preparation and career development
- Learn to present your career path with confidence and coherence.
- To enhance your skills, including when changing sectors.
- Anticipate recruiters' questions and construct convincing answers.
- Prepare your arguments for negotiating your salary.
- Identify the levers for professional development and access to greater responsibilities.

4. Career change and use of artificial intelligence**
- Take stock of your situation and identify new perspectives.
- Identify skills that can be transferred to other professions.
- Use artificial intelligence tools to explore sectors, training programs and job offers.
- Set up a personalized monitoring system for professional opportunities.
- Transform your thoughts into concrete actions, with clearly defined steps and objectives.

Depending on your needs, we can analyze job offers together, rework your CV, simulate an interview, search for training courses or build your career change strategy.

I also place great importance on new technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, to teach you how to conduct faster, more relevant and more autonomous searches.

Terms:
- Format: at your home or remotely.
- Target audience: high school students, university students, recent graduates, employees, job seekers or those undergoing career changes.
- Content: sessions fully adapted to your profile, your needs and your objectives.
