I am a teacher and tutor of Italian Language for Foreigners with a Master's degree in teaching Italian as a language for foreigners from the Ca' Foscari University of Venezia and the DITALS certification (Certificate of aptitude in didactics of Italian to foreigners) of the University for Foreigners of Siena (Italy).
The course and my method of teaching the language are based on a communicative approach: the student will learn the language gradually by using it and communicating in a real language and not abstract. To achieve this goal, many activities will be offered using authentic teaching materials such as newspaper articles, pages from novels, movie scenes, song lyrics and many more.

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!

Hi, I’m Maram! I teach Arabic to students of all ages and levels in Brussels. With 9 years of experience, I’ve worked with children, adults, and university students from diverse backgrounds.

I specialize in both Classic Arabic and Levantine Arabic. Whether you already speak Classic Arabic or don’t speak Arabic at all, you can start learning Levantine Arabic with me! I’ve learned tricks that help you learn faster, and I love sharing them with my students. I speak more than five languages, so I know what it takes to master a new one!

My approach is very interactive and based on what works best for you. I use games, songs, and discussions to make learning feel natural, and I’ll always focus on your personal goals—whether it’s speaking fluently, passing an exam, or mastering the language for a special job.

So, if you’re ready to start, we’ll talk about how you learn best, and we’ll create a plan together that works for you.
And remember, learning Arabic isn’t just about words—it’s about culture, history, and politics. With me, you’ll get the full package!

Managing stress, controlling your voice when you have to speak in public (in a conference, webcast or webinar), offering clear and well-structured information, these can represent famous challenges, especially today when it is necessary do this online.

To achieve your goals, I offer you a holistic approach to public speaking because, to convey a message, form and content are intimately linked.

After a few sessions, you will feel more confident, more convincing. Your interlocutors will be more attentive to the information you want to transmit. Your voice will stay clear longer. Through stress management, you will feel a great boost of energy and concentration.

Regarding the form, we will work in particular, the posture, the breathing, the modulation of the voice, the volume, the height, the intonation, and also the eye contact, the gestures, the pauses, in short, what one calls the "non-verbal". We will also see the elements that take precedence during a presentation or an exchange on the Internet.

And, if it helps, we'll see the different ways to handle your stress. We will establish your profile to choose the tools that suit you best.

Finally, if you have short deadlines (or not), you can put yourself in situation and, for example, prepare an interview, a presentation, a conference or a meeting. We will make simulations that will allow you to be in full possession of your means and the content of your intervention.

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!

Hello everyone and welcome to my English and or German lessons taught in group. I organise English and German lessons for children and teenagers and separately adult English group lessons (beginners to advanced). For children and teenagers, interactive activities are used as a way to motivate them, help them remember what they have learned in class and make sure they will be able to apply their language skills in real life context.
For the adults lessons, depending on what the students are willing to learn, we can have discussions based on the news, some grammar, writing... I am open to any suggestions, just tell me your needs and I am going to adapt the next lessons for you. If you wish to invite your friends and make a group with them, just let me know and I will allocate you a time slot.

For private English lessons, please have a look at my other advertisements. The German lessons are usually for beginners/ intermediate (exceptionally advanced levels in German can be organised only if there is a high-demand).

Don't hesitate to contact me should you have further questions. It would be a huge pleasure to integrate you in one of my classes. :-) Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

Our body is our voice - The benefits of Voice Coaching

Why is voice coaching important?
To facilitate better communication and create better working outcomes we need to use the voice appropriately to engage, unite and lead. The human voice reflects the entire well-being and has a direct impact on your audience, employees and clients. Understanding how the voice is used can be useful to Human Resources for training and recruitment. How to make the most of your voice and the influence it can expedite?
Learn different vocal techniques and engage a full-body voice support to find an authentic voice. Speaking in a tone or manner that is situation-appropriate is important to get the best from your staff, colleagues, stakeholders and suppliers.

What is the approach of a holistic voice work?
Holistic voice coaching uses the entire body to support a confident and strong voice. Breathing techniques improve concentration and focus and help to control emotions that can harm our presentation. Strengthening physical exercises and soothing vocalizations help to deepen body awareness and relaxation. SoundBody offers a complete method to strengthen and connect the entire instrument body to find an effortless voice production for a meaningful performance.

Testimonials
How did this work help you in your realms of work/life?

„Being a coach, facilitator and trainer I wanted to give my voice more power and control. My lessons with Laura really helped me with that. The combination of her expertise in voice control and yoga breathing made wonder for my voice. I can control the tone the depth and the sound my voice has in all moments.“
Roberta Manoni, Coach, Facilitator and Trainer (Brussels, Belgium)

„I took voice/ vocal coaching classes with Laura in early 2019, to prepare my candidature for the German Liberal party's election list for the European Parliament elections 2019, as I was the lead candidate of the liberal party in my home region Rhineland-Palatinate. The voice/ vocal coaching classes with Laura very much helped me to improve my speaking technique, to take better care of and to develop my voice, and to better understand the functioning of my voice – and my body in a broader sense.
Laura also taught me useful breathing/ respiration and relaxation techniques, which contributed to making me feel more at ease and comfortable when speaking in public, and also to manage the related stress in such situations. Laura's rich experience both as a singer and musician, vocal coach and yoga teacher, her very empathetic and sensitive nature, and her strong understanding of my specific needs in this situation, have been crucial to making these coaching classes extremely beneficial, insightful and useful for me. I can highly recommend Laura as a vocal coach to anyone interested in improving his/ her vocal and speaking techniques.“

I have extensive experience teaching Thai to foreigners, including the partners of Thai nationals and children from mixed Thai families. I have taught students of all ages, from young children aged 5 and above to adult learners, in Belgium.

In addition, I owned and managed a language school in Thailand with approximately 50 students and a team of four teachers. The school offered four different subjects, and I was responsible for overseeing daily operations, curriculum development, and staff management.

I also worked as a full-time English teacher at an underprivileged school, where I planned and delivered engaging lessons while supporting students from diverse educational and social backgrounds.

My combined experience in teaching, school management, and cross-cultural communication has enabled me to develop strong organizational, leadership, and interpersonal skills.

✅Practical sessions aimed at providing you with tools, techniques, methods and strategies to better formulate your messages, choose the right words and arguments, and more effectively obtain what you want, by understanding the psychology of your interlocutors and the mechanisms of human communication.

You're constantly negotiating—at work, with your family, in your relationships. The difference between reaching an agreement and remaining dissatisfied often lies in how things are said, the timing, and the other person's understanding. The goal is to learn to decode your interlocutors (their motivations, resistance, and ways of operating) and adapt your verbal and non-verbal communication to be better understood, without confrontation or power struggles, with finesse and efficiency, until these reflexes become second nature.

The approach integrates the analysis of behaviors, modes of expression, and verbal and non-verbal signals (semiotics, relational dynamics, profiles, and human reactions) to identify expectations, obstacles, and motivations. This allows for precise adjustment of communication and maximizes the impact of each interaction, whether in a professional or personal context.

Rather than generic techniques, it is about understanding the real functioning of the human being and adapting one's discourse to the person in front of: capturing attention, arousing curiosity, reducing resistance and triggering action.

Objective: to concretely increase your chances of obtaining the desired result, with efficiency, finesse and respect for others.
