Brazilian jiu-jitsu for self-defense and self-improvement

From 125 C$ /h

I am a brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I have been training and competing for 13 years and I want to share my passion with as many people as possible, since I truly believe in the value of the numerous benefits Brazilian jiu-jitsu has to offer, both on and off the mats for self-defense and self-improvement.

The focus of the class will depend on the skill level and experience of the student and what the student wishes to develop.

The class is open to men, women and children and will typically involve a warm-up/stretching, drills/technique and sparring.

I offer to train you in the comfort of your own home, if you have the space, or in an outdoor location such as a park near your location. I bring my personal training mats to your location.

I look forward to meeting you and sharing the mats with you!

Apprendre à jouer à la guitare acoustique/électrique

105.08 C$ /h

Guitar lessons are always useful for all levels of guitar playing. the course content will depend on the level of the student and is entirely open to any preferences in songs or techniques the student wishes to learn. My course is designed in such a way that it focuses on the student's creativity with the guitar and works towards fine tuning what will eventually become the student's original song or composition. I encourage my students to tap into their creativity, since in my experience, I have found that this is where the pleasure and beauty of music tends to surface, when there are the least amount of boundaries possible. All styles of music are welcome!

Hello there, and welcome!

Regularly rated 5 STARS on Google Page and a creator of a well-loved community of learner violinists, my name is Cheryl, and I offer highly unique and very enjoyable lessons to anyone who wants to challenge themselves with the violin. Do not be fooled - it's a tough instrument to play well! With my guidance and a special interest in postural health, you will quickly learn the basics with some regular effort. I especially encourage students to meet with other students in order to get to know each other on a human level.

An alum of the ABRSM, Suzuki, American and European conservatory systems (Masters with Magna cum Laude), and relentlessly studying to become better and better every week, I filter through 'The Book' to find the most effective and efficient way for the individual learner. We will find out what sounds appeal to you, and teach your unique 'voice' to come out.

With a little technique and a LOT of good taste, there's no knowing where your violin can take you! Come yourself, or with a friend or even with your child, and explore the infinite depths of real music-making! (Pssst: It's never really what we expect in the beginning!)

Lessons can be carried out in English, Italian, French :) Just shoot me a message and we'll decide on the details together! Looking forward to finally meeting you in person.

Sporting is one of the best ways to forge a steel mind.
This requires intense work, done regularly and assiduously. We will work so that you become the best version of yourself.

I will base my work on the skills of each and its goals so that everyone can feel comfortable in their bodies and in their minds.
The sessions will be adapted to your physical skills so that you can improve over the long term, we will always focus on the quality of work in the face of the amount that is not always synonymous with good work.

In our imagination, nourished by our education and our conditioning, we all believed one day that once married, having founded our family, we will realize our dream.

Before taking the leap, we all idealize this life, and the stronger our hope, the stronger the awakening to the reality of life would probably be.

Indeed, family life is another experience, a challenge and a process during which we learn a lot about ourselves, about the other and about the relationship.

By choosing the right mediator, family and married life can therefore be a great opportunity to grow (sometimes in pain, in joy).

Among the possible accompaniments, some examples:
- The basics of a solid and fulfilled married or family life
- How to resolve disagreements
- The secrets of a balanced and balancing child education
- Learn to express emotions
- Manage families and in-laws
- How to take your place within the couple
- Define the respective roles of each

Among the techniques used:
- Non-violent communication tools

- The “helping relationship” which aims to support people in crisis or conflict situations and help them resolve dysfunctions (emotional, relational difficulties, repetition of scenarios, lack of self-confidence, etc.) . It also leads to better self-knowledge and guides the person to discover their own solutions.
The practitioner in helping relationship through his attentive and neutral listening, his training, his personality, his presence, his availability will allow the consultant to progress towards a better knowledge of his psychological mechanisms, respecting his blockages, his rhythm and his ability to hear.
The therapist takes into account the subject as a whole: physical, psychological and social.
Allow the consultant to access autonomy so that he can, when he feels ready, walk alone, in all inner serenity.

- Coaching that allows you to act and take responsibility, which is the basis of effective and lasting change. Work on the management of emotions and relationships, confidence and self-esteem, self-affirmation is at the center of individual support, which allows you to live more fulfilled and authentic relationships.

- Love coaching, which is personalized support based on understanding the mechanisms of love and focusing on putting an individual in this disposition of openness and acceptance of the other and their difference (which prepares to receive love) and to transfer keys of understanding to gain emotional maturity.
It allows you to obtain concrete and measurable results in your love life.
Through coaching, the consultant becomes aware of his resources, optimizes his potential and transforms his life.

- Brief marital and family therapy. She is interested in how the problems manifest themselves in the present but the personal history of each is also approached. This insight helps to better understand the events experienced and to make connections between the past and what is at stake in the current difficulties. We introduce changes in behavior to open up perspectives, mainly relational.

- Sophrology. Sophrology is a gentle method that promotes relaxation of the body and mind where you relearn how to listen to your feelings using controlled breathing exercises, muscle relaxation and mental suggestions. It allows you to develop your potential, regain self-confidence, manage your emotions and achieve your goals. It will be, at times, interesting to use this technique to manage to unblock the mind that is blocking and to give the body more amplitude to welcome what presents itself.

Hi there,

I have practiced Wing Chun Kung Fu from 2011-2021 in Bonn, Germany. I have been a co-coach and have several years of experience in teaching groups and in private.

I offer private lessons to make this ancient chinese art accessible. I focus on the practical side and strive to teach you the fundamentals and principles in the shortest time possible. Further training on your own is highly recommended, because Wing Chun movements aren't "natural" and your body will need some time to adapt.
My Goal as a teacher will be to take you to the heart of Wing Chun: "Chi Sao" - "sticky hands" and to build up a full understanding of the system.

Lessons will take place outside, near Carouge, Geneva.

Unfortunately my French is not good enough, yet, to teach in French. But I am working on it.
