Trained actor and experienced media trainer - background in political speech writing

Van 64.51 $ /h

I am a trained actor from one of the UK's best drama schools and I have a background in publicity and politics: I worked as a publicist and media trainer for politicians for 7 years (my previous employers include Martin Schulz, president of the European Parliament, the Austrian Liberal Party NEOS and Sadiq Khan, mayor of London), accompanying them to their TV and media appearances and preparing them for interviews and TV debates.

As an actor, my credits include several feature films and a number of theatre plays, including "Richard II", "A Winter's Tale" and "Waiting for Godot". I am bilingual in English and German and am happy to work in both languages.

Whether you are preparing for a presentation, a media appearance, interview or you just want to improve your confidence in speaking in front of a group, I will make sure to tailor our sessions to your individual goals and needs.

Public speaking means sharing our ideas with others, which is an incredibly personal and vulnerable place to be in and I can offer you techniques to combat stage fright and enable you to be your best, authentic and confident self.

The technology to improve your French. Classes with a certified native teacher.

Hello Bonjour!
I am a native French teacher and a graduate in French Philology since 2012. I have 10 years of experience in Belgium and abroad. I offer online classes using a method that I have developed over the years, specifically for online classes.

*My method:*
-During class we focus on speaking. Outside of class, I will send you exercises that I will correct every week (grammar, conjugation, writing...).
-I use a particular technique based on questions/answers to apply the grammar when speaking.
-I use the verbotonal method to correct pronunciation.
-You will also receive access to an application for your Smartphone (to learn the vocabulary).
-Use an interactive whiteboard.
-We will use a shared online notebook to correct your exercises and ask me your questions at any time of the day.

I offer preparation for official exams (DELF, DALF, TCF, EOI, FIDE in Switzerland...). Classes for beginners, intermediate or advanced levels. Preparation of conferences or talks for business people. Job interviews.

The class is a bit different when I work with children or teenagers. I use interactive websites and letters.

If you want a young, organized, dynamic and passionate teacher, call me or write me!

See you soon,
Laurie*

I am a Turkish teacher. I graduated in Turkey with a BA in Languages. The classes I offer are from basic to academic level, so for children, students, expats and adults. That focus is on learning grammar, speaking,, reading and writing. If you want to learn Turkish for vacation, work, family or just as a hobby, I can certainly help you. I use Turkish grammar books, podcast, websites for learning Turkish and other study materials. and the rate is lower from 5 lessons.

Normally a student with a motivation to learn the language learns basic Turkish in 10 or 15 lessons. Both private and group lessons (The Hague) are available.

Hello, I am Kyra. I have both an artistic and educational master in drama at LUCA School of Arts. In addition, I sometimes give acting coaching as a teacher at the drama department of LUCA School of Arts.

I offer two things:

1) Basic camera acting course (Beginner/Intermediate):
How do I behave in front of the camera? What is the difference between acting in a film and acting on stage?
What should I look out for? What are the secrets of castings? And what should I know?

Using a fictional casting, we will investigate together how you come across on screen. We will analyze a scene and work with different camera techniques such as applying different image formats, listening, reacting and thinking on screen so that you can confidently take the (next) step in the world of camera acting.

2) Game coaching in preparation for an audition or shooting day (Beginner/intermediate/advanced):

I coach you in preparing a monologue/scene for an audition or a shooting day.

I am happy to act as a guide for your first steps in the world of (on-camera) acting and auditioning.

Writer and poet with 2 books published at only 18 years old with several media appearances (debates on RTBF, RTL, etc.) I am also a finalist in the ELSA 2024 eloquence competition. An experienced and attentive teacher, it is important to me to make each of my students feel comfortable by patiently responding to their individual needs.

Communication is a fairly broad topic. During the courses, we address the specific needs of the student, covering writing, improving register, oral language, eloquence, gestures, languages (English, French), digital communication, and much more!
