How to Develop Successful Careers and Avoid Burnout

60 € /h

My name is Ioana and I am certain it will be a beautiful experience to work with you here on Apprentus. I specialize in Social Sciences and Clinical Psychology while having a keen interest in making the world I live in a better place. My goal is to create interactive classes in which I combine my expertise in psychology with an understanding of the impact and implications of globalization in today’s society while setting up the motivation to be of help to my students in their process of self discovery and making their aspirations come true. In this respect, I will challenge my students with philosophical questions about the ethics of engaging with each other from a win-win perspective as for them to develop a sense of understanding we are all interconnected and their decisions will impact not only themselves but those around them as well.
This is my first class on Apprentus and it is about developing successful careers while avoiding burnout. It is designed to be practical and to enhance my students' self confidence from a mindful selfless rather than selfish perspective yet assertive after only 1 hour spent with me. This class teaches lots of practical tools for anyone who wants to become an active successful agent of benefic change. The focus is for students to learn to develop their career in simple steps that anyone can easily apply and, at the same time, remain positive and energetic It emerged from my own career as I used to manage large teams of people into successful ventures with little to no funds at all. Is it possible? Yes, it is and I will make sure this course will clarify the steps that support your career development in all its layers in a practical straightforward objective-based trustworthy method.
You will learn:
- to engage in a project by setting up the right motivation;
- to make a consistent plan for your projects;
- to be flexible in response to the business climax, to your partners and anyone involved;
- to be mindful and future oriented in your business partnerships;
- to be confident and honest in your interactions;
- to make business with Intention;
- to eliminate pressure, stress and burnout.

How to Raise Healthy Children - Theory and Methods

60 € /h

My name is Ioana. I am a certified counselor and a clinician in training. I lead workshops on parental education in order to raise the awareness it is better long term to raise our children in a healthy manner than to go through therapy later on in life. This 1 hour class will show you the correct educational method to use when interacting with your child in order for him/her to develop his/her own internal resources and why this theoretical knowledge and its practicality are more effective than the try and error methods many parents use till they become exhausted. The class is structured in a condensed manner for you to learn the basics of a mindful interaction with your child. Thank you and hope to see you attending my class!

It is true that the philosopher is the friend of wisdom, but above all, he is someone who does not want to make mistakes in reasoning. Philosophizing is a way of reasoning and a way of solving problems that will never have a perfect and definitive solution. Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not a problem of philosophy, because it is enough to measure to solve it. On the other hand, knowing, for example, what justice is, is a problem of philosophy. A meter will not be able to help us know the answer. We must go about it differently, and in the courses I offer, I will teach you how.

You will learn

- text reading strategies
- case studies with the aim of learning from experts
- methodology in philosophy
- writing an essay
- writing a text commentary
- a work on the philosophers of your choice
- an overview of the history of philosophy
- the general culture necessary to be able to philosophize

I will adapt to your individual needs. Each course is tailor-made. We will analyze where your difficulties lie and together develop a course program that will make you perform as quickly as possible. The basic principle of the courses I offer is dialectics, like Plato's dialogues: reflecting together, making theoretical contributions, asking questions and seeking answers, and testing the validity of reasoning.

For the past 10 years, I have been teaching German using the philosophy methodology, having studied philosophy at the Master's level at Aix-Marseille University. It turns out that the analytical mind is very useful even outside the confines of philosophy. Today, there are even fields of activity such as management with philosophy or philotherapy. In recent years, some German students have asked me to also teach them philosophy courses, and that is why I decided to offer philosophy courses directly.

I look forward to meeting you during a first lesson.

Are you struggling with philosophy, or do you want to learn the subject or deepen your knowledge? I adapt to each student's needs to help them progress and succeed in philosophy. To achieve this, I help students acquire the necessary methods, understand unclear course content, and train them in text commentary and essay writing exercises. The goal is to cultivate an interest in philosophy while equipping them with the keys to exam success.
The first step is to meet the student and determine together the difficulties and expectations of the lessons.
Master's degree and teaching qualification in philosophy. 5 years of teaching experience and currently preparing a thesis in environmental philosophy. Bilingual French-English.

My approach combines movement, self-massage, breathing exercises, relaxation, and meditation.

Here, the goal is not to "do well", but to feel better in your body, session after session.

These courses are particularly suitable if:

- You suffer from acute or chronic back or neck pain
- You have stress-related tension
- You want to ease back into activity after a period of pain
- You are experiencing other issues (anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, etc.) and are looking for personalized support, at your own pace

Bonjour,

Reconnue pour mon très grand investissement, mon expérience et mon approche bienveillante mais exigeante, je propose du soutien en philosophie, une discipline passionnante que je prends plaisir à explorer chaque jour.

Que ce soit pour acquérir une culture générale sur l'histoire de la philosophie, améliorer l'analyse de concepts, s'exercer à l'exercice de l'explication de texte ou de la dissertation en vue du bac, je sais m'adapter à des profils et des besoins variés.

Les cours que je propose se font à distance, un format qui me permet d'accompagner aussi bien les élèves scolarisés que ceux qui sont dans des situations non conventionnelles (CNED, en apprentissage autonome/candidat libre).

J'ai à cœur de donner des cours interactifs et vivants, aussi je m'adapte vraiment à vos besoins et nous discutons ensemble du planning et des points à aborder !

I offer gentle, dynamic or hybrid yoga classes, online, at home or in a location agreed upon together, according to your preferences and objectives.

The sessions can focus on relaxation, recovery, and calming, or conversely, on mobility, tone, stability, and energy. I teach both Yin and Yang practices, as well as formats that blend the two in a single session to offer a more complete and balanced experience.

I also incorporate breathing exercises and, where appropriate, elements of meditation, in order to work on the body, breath, and quality of presence in a single class. My approach remains clear, progressive, and accessible, regardless of your level.

Each session is tailored to your body type, experience, current fitness level, and goals. I can offer gentler or more challenging variations, without performance pressure, with the aim of building a beneficial, sustainable, and realistic practice.

The courses can be general or geared towards a particular need: stress management, mobility, recovery, refocusing, getting back into motion, better body awareness or simply the need to take quality time for oneself.
