About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am American but I live in the south of France near Toulouse. I have lived in France for over 20 years. I have 3 children and a dog. I am also a singer and songwriter. I'm not in a band at the moment, so I love doing karaoke.
-I can teach English
- travel and basic to intermediate French
-mentor musicians and singers who are not native English speakers and who wish to improve their singing and songwriting in English.
-I am a coach for children, adolescents and life coach. For children/teens, this is to support and encourage you when you feel different and are going through a difficult time, not for academic coaching. Adults are asking for my website.
I look forward to working with you in whatever way you want, cheers!
Are you planning a trip to France? Do you need some practical phase to get around airports, hotels, restaurants, beaches, ski resorts? Do you need help understanding cultural differences and customs? Would you like to sound less anglosaxon as to avoid the snooty, confused looks? Would you like some great places to visit that are less known than typical travel packages? Well, I'm the one stop shop. I fell in love with France when I did junior high exchange, majored in French in College, and I've been living here for over 20 years. Here, I'm an English teacher but since I've lived here I'm fluent in French, and in the French ;). - I can guide you with the language and grammar with some basic, useful vocabulary and phrases. - We'll practice asking questions which is vital for travelling and life in general. -I'll give you some pronunciation tips. -We'll do some role plays and listening comprehension. -I could also make some good suggestions for off the beaten track places to see and visit.
No matter what level, or what age, learning a language, especially English is going to serve you. My approach to teaching is interactive and I'd like to stress that what you get out of it, so improving, will depend on your implication. Your effort and positivity will pay off in the long run. I've even written 3 ebook workbooks to accompany you, if you'd like. I adapt to your needs, but I've found that the biggest lack is with the tenses and vocabulary. Listening comp and pronunciation are a closed second (and they're connected:) As you actively apply what you learn, you'll grow in confidence while having fun. I can also help with your CV, cover letters, interviews in English, or presentations.

TRAINING TO EMBODY EFFECTIVE MANAGERIAL COMMUNICATION IN THE PROFESSIONAL FRAMEWORK
➤ 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 advanced 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 executive is in charge of transmitting information and directives 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 2020). ➤ 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-Friborg-Zurich-Neuchâtel-Lugano-Montreux-Bâle-Neuchâtel-Berne-Lucerne-Bruxelles-Luxembourg-Paris-Lyon. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid, this format also unanimously suitable for those accompanied. -Apart from the classic advantages of videoconferencing (time savings related to travel, eco-responsibility, increased scheduling flexibility, etc.), the quality of the session & the interaction remain the same. In addition, the notes taken during the sessions are immediately transcribed on the session chat and are automatically transmitted to you so that you can browse them during and after the session if you wish. - Hourly fees: To support each other and to be pleasant to you in this period of covid19 and in a spirit of solidarity, the fees have been temporarily reduced. But this fixed price will not increase after the start of the sessions. -Sessions in English / French -As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round. -Program: adapted to each need

Ziad
Oriental Arabic Oud and Singing Teacher in Germany
In our Oud class, I will guide you through everything from basic to advanced techniques. We will cover playing for all levels, correct left-hand use, synchronizing with the right hand, handling the pick, tuning the Oud, and effectively using a tuner and metronome. In the remaining time, we will dive into reading musical notes, starting with basic Solfege and progressing to advanced and oriental Solfege, including dictation exercises. This comprehensive approach ensures a well-rounded musical journey My recommendation for learning the Oud is to begin by studying musical notes and notation before delving into songs. While some students prefer to jump straight into playing songs, understanding the fundamentals of music notation accelerates progress in the long run. Dedication and hard work can yield significant progress within a year, enabling you to play simple tunes. Feel free to leave me a message, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
