Let yourself be guided and finally realize your dream of writing.

➤ Overcome your fears.
➤ Discover the secret to writing 100% fun and 0% blank pages.
➤ Awaken this writer's flame that has been dormant in you for a long time.
➤ Build unwavering legitimacy and overcome the fear of failure, lack of time and procrastination that keep you from moving forward.

In short, put an end to the fear of writing! Isn't it difficult to be consumed by the desire to write your project and not succeed in doing it? Break forever the insurmountable wall that prevents you from writing today.

It is a matter of combining improvements in form with improvements in substance. For this, the sessions can for example take place according to your needs as follows:
a) Comments / proposals on the text that you will offer me b) Writing exercises based on a statement.
c) A series of precise and pragmatic recommendations and their application through style exercises.

Whether it is a novel, an essay, song lyrics, various texts, a biography or simply a report for professional or school purposes, it is about offering you elements personalized pedagogy:

- Study your text
- Build text, song lyrics etc
- Calmly polish the style
- Research and develop your lexical fields
- Differentiate between writing for oneself and writing for others

All this by combining theory and practice: Writing work from exercises then as part of a personal project.

During the sessions, you are guided in your writing project. The trainer accompanies you and teaches you the preparation method, gives you writing tools and helps you work on your style and your imagination.

The objective is multiple, including a reflection on one's own literary path, an introduction to the basic tools of style work and exercises on description.

Learning objectives:
- Identify your writing path.
- Mobilize your imagination.
- Learn and master the practical writing tools.

- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.

These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.

À la carte: evaluated and adapted to each personality.

Master Latin — Speak, Read, and Understand the Language of the Classics

In my classes, you will gain a complete command of Latin grammar and develop the ability to speak, write, and read the language with confidence. Together, we will explore Latin as a living language — not only translating it, but also using it actively to understand the great authors in their original words, from Cicero to Erasmus.

The core of my course is Familia Romana, a renowned textbook that introduces the essential structures of Latin grammar and builds a strong foundation in vocabulary through engaging, context-based learning.

My teaching approach is flexible and student-centered, adapting to your pace, interests, and goals. Whether you wish to read classical literature, strengthen your linguistic understanding, or experience Latin as a spoken language, I will guide you step by step toward mastery.

By the end of the course, you will not only know Latin — you will think and express yourself in it.

Join me in rediscovering Latin as it was meant to be: alive, precise, and profoundly beautiful.

Plenty of cultural stories and mythology in the mix, besides battles and august men. A basic understanding of grammar (or willingness to learn) expected. Ideally, students ought to be doing Latin at school and preferably have a second language (a Romance language ideal for securing a higher grade).

A knowledgeable lawyer and legal services provider

Hello, dear customer. Meet your legal professional. I'm currently a practicing attorney, skilled writer, and online researcher who delivers exactly what I promise. The legal profession, research, and writing have been my passions since the early years of my legal career, and through learning and experience, I have sufficiently honed my skills in these areas. In addition, I am currently pursuing my P.hd, a degree that I believe is an added advantage to my expertise. Do not hesitate to entrust me with your task and expect the best from my services. Thank you in advance, and stay safe.
In this lesson I will guide you through the process of conducting legal research and writing legal documents.

- Legal Research: The tutor will explain how to conduct legal research, which is a critical skill for anyone involved in the legal field. This includes understanding how to use legal databases, how to find and interpret statutes, regulations, and case law, and how to stay updated with recent legal developments. The tutor will also cover how to analyze legal problems and apply the law to specific scenarios.

- Legal Writing: The tutor will then move on to legal writing, another essential skill for legal professionals. This involves learning how to write various legal documents such as briefs, memos, contracts, and legal opinions. The tutor will provide tips on how to write clearly and persuasively, how to structure your arguments, and how to cite legal authorities correctly.

- Practical Exercises: Throughout the lesson, the tutor will provide practical exercises to help you apply what you've learned. This might involve researching a particular legal issue or drafting a legal document.

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

Learning German can be easier: I support children (approx. 6-12 years old) with reading, writing, and spelling, patiently, systematically, and in a positive learning environment. We first work together to identify where they're struggling, and then practice exactly what's currently important for school. It's important to me that your child not only completes tasks "correctly," but truly understands how to learn more confidently and independently. We celebrate small steps forward, because they make the biggest difference.
