I offer lessons of flute and recorder in three languages (French, English & Italian). If you are a big fun of art noveau buildings you can come to my house in Schaerbeek. Or if you leave too far, I can come to your place.

My name is Matteo and I am an Italian flutist and musicologist, based in Brussels since 2010. I graduated in modern flute at 'B. Marcello' Conservatory in Venice and at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels with Barthold Kuijken and Frank Theuns in the Baroque flute. I hold a master degree in Philosophy and Musicology as well.

Indonesia, officially the Republic of Indonesia, is a unitary sovereign state and transcontinental country located mainly in Southeast Asia with some territories in Oceania. Situated between the Indian and Pacific oceans, it is the world's largest island country, with more than seventeen thousand islands. At 1,904,569 square kilometres (735,358 square miles), Indonesia is the world's 14th-largest country in terms of land area and world's 7th-largest country in terms of combined sea and land area. It has an estimated population of over 260 million people and is the world's fourth most populous country, the most populous Austronesian nation, as well as the most populous Muslim-majority country. The world's most populous island of Java contains more than half of the country's population.

Indonesian is the national language of Indonesia, uniting over 273 million people. Aside from all the regions of Indonesia, it is also spoken in countries such as Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Netherlands, and the USA.

Based on the Euro-continental orthography, Indonesian uses the Roman script. It is a relatively young language and is different from Malay, which was widely used until the 1950s. There are as many as 300 distinct ethnic groups in Indonesia who speak Indonesian, and each dialect is unique in its own way. Therefore, a phrase common in one group may have different connotations in another.

Not many Indonesians are able to speak English. Consequently, by learning how to speak Indonesian, you will be able to communicate with them more effectively. Whether you are on vacation in Bali or a business trip to Jakarta, knowing how to speak Indonesian will really add to and enrich your experience.

Public speaking is one of the scariest things for human beings. For some, it can be extremely debilitating and hinder their careers.
But this apprehension concerns a very large percentage of the population and crosses all categories of age, gender or socio-professional background. If you are in this case, you can therefore start by reassuring yourself: you are not alone!
The second good news is that it can be worked on! It is by practicing that you will learn to lower your stress level, to be more aware of what you have to do and to prepare yourself well.
To practice, I offer private lessons: a caring and demanding framework that will allow me to adapt to your specific needs. Once you have understood your fears and learned to overcome them, speaking (in public, in meetings) may become a great source of pleasure!

In 2013, I completed my bachelor studies in Chinese language, culture and literature at the University of Belgrade. Since then, I have thought Chinese, English and Serbian to many different nationalities in Belgium, Ghana and Serbia.

As a successful teacher, I have two main goals:
- to teach a language (Serbian or Chinese) in a very creative way, meaning that it is my responsibility that my student, each session takes away, remembers 85% of the content.
- to teach culture in parallel so that student falls in love with the country and explores cultural differences between their own country and Serbian or / and Chinese culture.

Whether your goal is personal or professional, speaking is a predominantly physical activity, relying on a body, a voice, a breath, a rhythm (diction) and an emotion (the imagination and the sensations, reflecting the involvement of the speaker in his speech.

How to send a clear message? How to make the difference, to make an impression? How to regain self-confidence and control the management of his emotions?

Knowing how to speak in public is now a necessity for the company and in the company. From a personal point of view, this is a vector for better relationships and optimal messages. On the phone, in a meeting, in front of a client or a banker (...), your public speaking must be effective and efficient with clear, simple and powerful messages, creating a match between the message received and the message sent.

Simple and pragmatic tools will be presented and then put into practice for: generating listening ● making an impression ● fostering trust ● generating need ● motivating teams by explaining a strategy ● getting messages across within groups.

Controlled, the method allows:

• improve self-confidence and stress management with the development of the speaker's fluency (verbal-bodily), his public speaking and his sense of repartee and improvisation

• to work on his ease, leadership, his NLP, his charisma, his creativity and to go towards a certain personal development, through a set of scenarios

* improve the characteristics of the spoken voice (timbre, pitch, intention, flow)

Completed by basic exercises (diction, voice, presence, breathing, presentation, time management ...), role plays, improvisations and simulations will be set up.

With the key words: pronunciation, rhetoric, verbal and non-verbal communication, diction / articulation, the sense of repartee, structured speech (...).

The goal is not only to focus on verbal communication but also on nonverbal communication, so as to make the control of his body, his voice (...), a real and lasting strength.

Depending on the interaction between the trainer - coach and the one who consults, there is no single way to operate: each type of session depends on the needs and difficulties of each.

In all cases, it is very often a question, while adapting to your own needs and after having precisely diagnosed your desired objective and the blockages encountered, to combine the theory (the bases of the studied concept, for example NLP / information asymmetry / the "how to say no" / the tools of non-verbal communication or the application of kinaesthesia) and its application (through exercises and direct applications).

For example, are discussed:

- the fundamentals of public speaking: breathing, gaze and body language

- diction and elocution: rhythm and range of your voice - management of your emotions and your emotional overflow (example: stress) - work on the body, to amplify your charisma and ensure consistency between your message and your body ... with the aim of:

* Enhance your presentation and arouse interest by focusing on your strengths, your qualities ... your personality

* Match the content and form of your message

* Improve your charisma, your self-confidence and the benefits of your emotional intelligence

Postgraduate School Training & Ivy league college in the United States, 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 - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of live (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: notes that can be re-read on the chat). In this context, the videoconference sessions for which you asked me to seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place very optimally and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. Take good care of yourself and yours!

PROGRAM
A la carte program: evaluated and adapted to each need.

Language is a key to open another door for you, it gives you the chances to understand another culture, and may lead you to have another career. As a native speaker of Chinese, I love my language and love my culture, for me, I would like to show you the beauty of Chinese in a young and dynamic way. From speak to write, I believe the more we learn together the more you will love Chinese.

Learning a new language is an art itself. Traveling from one country to another and being able to communicate with different people is a special feeling of joy.
Knowing how to teach and make others learn in a very easy and fast way is my goal and I am eager on achieving it.

I am a very patient person and I enjoy teaching to different ages starting from children of 4-5 years to continue to adults.

Steeped in a synthesis of age-old wisdom and contemporary insights, this course is more than just a series of lessons—it's a transformative experience. I've always believed in the power of the mind, and over the course of my teaching journey, I've fine-tuned this program, drawing from the teachings of renowned authors and adding practical applications.

Each week is designed to challenge your thought processes and widen your intellectual horizons. We delve deep into principles elucidated in well-regarded manuals, picking apart their lessons, and understanding their relevance in today's fast-paced world. But we don’t stop there. Through rigorous workshops, interactive discussions, and real-world scenarios, students get to apply these principles, turning theory into actionable strategies.

The beauty of this course is its adaptability. Whether you're a budding entrepreneur, a seasoned professional, or someone looking to enhance personal growth, the skills acquired here will prove invaluable. By the end of our sessions, you won’t just think differently—you’ll view the world through a more analytical, discerning lens.

Some examples of recent classes:
1. Logical Fallacies & Cognitive Biases:
Exploring common pitfalls in reasoning, from straw man arguments to confirmation bias.

2. Exploring multi-faceted problems with no clear answers:
Techniques to navigate ambiguity and make informed decisions.

3. Media Literacy & Information Consumption:
Understanding the age of information overload.

4. Real-world Application & Case Studies:
Analyzing contemporary issues, from political debates to corporate decisions, through the lens of critical thought.
Working in teams to present and defend solutions to complex problems.

Sound interesting?

See you in class,
-Dante
