    Mathematics for Children and Adults customized to their way of thinking
    I studied the University of Mathematics and I have an experience of over 7 years in teaching mathematics to children. I'm passionate about children's development and mathematics, hence I'm combining the two to motivate children and to explain through various methods adjusted to their way of thinking and understanding. I also have experience with students willing to go for the Toelatingsonderzoek 21+ (Wiskunde B, HAVO) and able to get them started from the basics when needed. Majority of my previous students were admitted and graduated universities around the world, on topics that have mathematics as a background (e.g. architecture, construction engineering). I'm currently working for a software company, but I'm willing to dedicate the afternoons/weekends to supporting kids learn and develop.

It is possible to move further in terms of complexity, using more dynamics and increasing the complexity of asanas. Further complication is focused on the use of asanas with deflections and inverted positions. Also, you can smoothly move into Ashtanga yoga or dynamic yoga.

    ✅TRAINING TO EMBODY EFFECTIVE MANAGERIAL COMMUNICATION: RHETORIC, ORATORY, DISTRIBUTION, SPEECH, TEAM MANAGEMENT, NEGOTIATION
    ➤ Being a good manager is also being a good communicator. After all, a strategy can only be put into practice if you show yourself capable of interacting with your employees, of being a source of inspiration for them and of listening to their concerns. Unfortunately, not all managers naturally excel in this role and their difficulties in asserting themselves as true leaders is often attributable to their difficulties in communicating. ➤ The objective would then be to explore together the areas of improvement in terms of communication know-how. And managing effectively requires specific and cutting-edge know-how. ➤ In fact, managerial communication corresponds to the interactions between the management of the company and the organization and more specifically, between the manager and his team. This manager is in charge of transmitting information and directives coming from higher hierarchical levels, supporting internal communication, distilling messages related to his own management to obtain the commitment of his team, all while transmitting a message effectively. ➤ This exercise can therefore be tricky: this is why it is important to choose the right mediator in order to be well supported, not only to be understood by those around him, but also to carry out his mission. ➤ What to communicate? When ? Whose ? These questions will find an answer in the consistency of the actions undertaken. Good managerial communication will thus aim to exchange / dialogue effectively with its employees, maintain a close link between the different layers of the company, bring human relations back to the heart of the company, establish a climate of trust and good team cohesion, motivate by inspiring. ➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practice exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live), so that you can put them into practice immediately, and this from the 1st session. Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 or 3 sessions*. (*study 2022). ➤ THE TRAINER: Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication , in reputable international public and private establishments, intervening in forums and conferences, and oriented on two axes: training and coaching, with pedagogy and careful methodology as key words. ➤ PLACE, TIMETABLE, PRICES ✓ Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Fribourg-Zurich-Neuchâtel-Lugano-Montreux-Basel-Neuchâtel-Bern-Lucerne-Brussels-Luxembourg-Paris-Lyon. But currently, these sessions continue to be offered by videoconference in the current context and in accordance with general demand which is almost unanimous on this subject. ✓ Indeed, apart from the classic advantages of videoconferencing (time saving related to travel & their unforeseen events, eco-responsibility, increased schedule flexibility, etc.), the quality of the session & the interaction remain identical. In addition, the entire exchange, notes and recommendations are immediately transcribed on the dedicated chat. ✓ To support us among ourselves & to be pleasant to you in this sustainable / particular period and in a spirit of solidarity, the fees are temporarily reduced and will not increase after the start of our sessions. ✓ Languages: French/English. ✓ The progress following these private sessions is perceptible from 1 to 2 sessions (*2024 study). ✓ As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round.

    ✨ For musicians and creatives ready to shape their vision ✨
    Do you feel stuck in your practice or performance?
Do you have the skills but struggle to express your musical voice with clarity and confidence?
Or maybe you’ve been performing for years but want to take your artistry further — deeper, freer, more authentically you. That’s where I come in. I work as a musician, coach & creative mentor, helping performers connect the dots between their artistry, mindset, and professional life. As a violist and saxophonist with experience in solo, chamber, orchestral, classical, jazz, pop, and world music, I understand the many layers of being a musician today. It’s not just about practicing and performing — it’s also about shaping your identity, reaching your audience, and managing the behind-the-scenes work that keeps your career moving. 💡 In our sessions, we can explore whatever part of your musical journey needs support: * 🎻 Performance & Interpretation – confidence, expression, storytelling through sound
 * 🎶 Chamber & Ensemble Skills – communication, listening, blending
 * 🌍 Artistic Identity – shaping your unique voice and presence as a musician
 * 💡 Mindset & Stage Presence – overcoming self-doubt, nerves, or creative blocks
 * 📲 Practical Support – planning projects, creating content for socials, organizing tools, and simple automations to make your musical life run smoother
 You don’t have to do this alone. Whether you’re a student, an emerging artist, or already established, we’ll work with what’s inside you — your instincts, your strengths, your goals. Sessions can be a one-time deep dive or part of a longer creative journey together. 👉 Think of it as having a coach, mentor, and creative ally for both your music and your career.
