Michaël is friendly and calm and thoughtful. I enjoyed the lesson with him.
Mickael is very educational and he will quickly show you the main lines to follow according to your level and your preferred openings. It works on lichess and it will leave your analysis file available on your lichess account.

Mathematics for secondary education or primary education; get new insights.
I teach mathematics with passion and dedication. I not only help with working out methods, but also try to provide insight with the help of relevant examples, so that you understand what you are doing. I walk through chapters that you do not understand, improve tests and help with your homework. Please note: I help you understand what to do, I will not do your homework myself. Furthermore, you can usually always ask me questions. Do not hesitate! You can come with any part of mathematics to get extra tutoring. Even though this is the full book. For adults and seniors who want to improve or expand their basic knowledge, they can also leave something behind. We can then refine specific matters. Or go through a full book of your choice.

Life coaching - The road to a new and positive life
At a certain moment in your life you can feel restless in one or more areas of life. Professional, financial, private or emotional. Life coaching is aimed at self-development. You learn to make choices and you are encouraged to achieve results and actually achieve your goals. Know that the key to success lies with you! It is no longer a secret that we are all extremely busy and think that we no longer have time for ourselves, for some free time. Perhaps you have made choices in the past that no longer make you happy and that you remain attached to. It is therefore all so easy to keep wandering in our familiar life while you realize that there must be more. As a result, we are not feeling well in our skin. We all recognize ourselves sometimes in the sense of 'lack'. Sometimes we don't even know what we want, what we dream of. We know that there is more for us, but we cannot see it. Life coaching ensures that you gain insight into your life again. Together we look for those insights, the causes and that new path. We work with all the potential you have towards that perfect life. The insight that you can take control of your life and finally change things. It's okay to dream and go after it.

Learn to play chess - tutorials on strategy and planning
I have been playing chess since I was 6 years old, individually and for various chess teams, mostly in Greece. I have won the Thessaloniki tournament for ages under 15 and have met Kasparov and Karpov playing in the chess olympics in 1986! I love this game and I enjoy teaching new chess players!

Chess lessons online or at home. Suitable for beginners or people who already know a little bit about chess and new concepts, strategies or tactics
Always wanted to improve in chess or win against that one friend? Then you've come to the right place! Together we will analyze where things go wrong in your games so that you will beat that one friend very quickly! ;) I completely tailor the lesson to your preferences / needs. In addition, during the first meeting I will make an assessment of where your points for improvement lie and what you already master. I teach in a narrative and humorous way so that the subject matter stays with the student. The lessons are intended for beginners or people who already know how to play chess and want to learn new concepts, strategies or tactics. I won the Belgian, Flemish and East Flemish School Chess Championship twice. Furthermore, I already have an experience of 5 years teaching both children and adults. I've always loved doing this. There is nothing more beautiful than showing people the beauty of chess. The better you get the more beautiful the game becomes as you gain more insight into it. Queen sacrifices and nice mate combinations are one of the most blissful things you can achieve in chess. I want you to experience this feeling for yourself.

Conflict management & negotiation: communication support for effective and sustainable control
It is a question of putting in place rational and professional tools to defuse conflicts and enter your comfort / security zone. In particular simple and logical techniques, which make it possible to resolve and manage violent situations in a harmonious, efficient and lasting way. The objectives are: 0. Understand and identify the issues / risks then find a balance between empathy and conviction 1. Use interpersonal communication techniques resulting from mediation to defuse tensions and gain distance 2. Dissociate the relational and the nature of the disagreement - Overcome cognitive and psychological obstacles 3. Acquire the techniques of self-defense and mastery without hurting and being injured 4. Face and then defuse difficult behaviors (blackmail attempts, threats, destabilization) or even dangerous with a mediation strategy 5. Develop conflict management and negotiation skills by alternating attentive listening, active speaking and rationality in the face of the limited rationality of the angry individual. Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 or 3 sessions *. (* study 2020) Postgraduate School Training & Ivy league college in the United States, our teacher has 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-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Spanish online lessons with native spanish teacher for adults and teenagers
I am a native Spanish speaker and a general language enthusiast. In addition to Spanish, I speak German and English. I am 100% confident that I will successfully teach you Spanish (while having fun and relaxing)! I've been teaching spanish for 15 years. I am 41 years old, graduated with honors from the University of Salamanca. My main goal in teaching is to make students feel relaxed and comfortable while studying. Do you already know Spanish? No problem! Rather than building the basics, we can design courses to suit your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can give presentations on topics that interest you or that I present to you, we can discuss current events, engage in debates, you can write summaries of newspaper articles, or we can delve into advanced grammar. Whatever you enjoy and need, we can do it together. All my courses combine speaking, listening and grammar practice in interaction with me. Unless you are a very advanced student, we work with learning materials created by some of the best language learning publishers in Germany. These materials serve as a common thread for our course, introducing new words, grammar and exercises at a good pace and in an interesting way, keeping you engaged and motivated. I also show you German food, music and places. In addition, I will introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level. Another important factor for me is the personal connection. We usually start our lessons with how the weekend or previous weekdays were like. Contact me now to arrange a first lesson in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn more about you, your needs and desires and thus design the optimal course for you.

Chess class for beginners: Understand the basic principles, learn how to analyse the chessboard and build a strong foundation as a chess player
Chess is a fun game that starts with the basic rules and moves through the 3 parts of the game: the opening, the middlegame, and the endgame. The focus at first is to teach you how the pieces move, what the goal of the opening is, and how the pieces interact. You will also learn the vocabulary related to chess and chess notation. Tactics are then explored to take advantage of hanging pieces, lack of king safety, space, and tempo. From here depending on what your personal goals are we will adapt the classes to cover what will help you progress. I can also give group classes, contact me if you have a group, we can discuss how to best organise those classes and pricing.

Primary English Course – Tunisian & French System, Children and Adults / Individual Lessons
I have a true passion for English, as I see it as a lively, vibrant, and energetic language. It’s heard everywhere: in songs, films, games, and even while traveling. English allows communication with the entire world, the discovery of other cultures, and opens up opportunities both academically and professionally. It’s a language I love teaching, especially to children, as they absorb it easily while having fun. My goal is to pass on this enthusiasm and help them build confidence. The objective is to introduce the child to English in a fun, interactive, and progressive way, taking into account their school curriculum, age, and level.

Learn English from a fluent speaker at any level—beginner, intermediate, or advanced. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the English language
Hello, my name is William. I understand the challenges associated with learning a foreign language. I am a young professional who studied foreign languages at university, specializing in English-Japanese Language, Literature, and Civilization. Having had the opportunity to travel, I am aware of the difficulties that mastering a foreign language can present and the obstacles to overcome. That's why I would like to offer you my help! Originally from Bordeaux, in western France, I studied in Toulouse, lived 5 years in Australia and currently reside in Bangkok, Thailand. Over the past few years I had the opportunity to teach English to adults of various levels, including Spanish speakers, French speakers, and many others. My goal is to help you find enjoyment in learning English and to achieve your objectives. The lessons will be fully tailored to your needs and interests. I will also be dedicated to introducing you to English culture through our lessons, discussing current topics and significant events of the year. Because to truly learn a language, it is essential to understand the culture of the country that speaks it. My lessons aim to develop the five essential language skills: speaking, writing, listening, reading, and grammar. Of course, if you prefer to focus on a specific aspect, that is entirely possible. We can use your own materials or work with the resources I have available. Depending on your needs, I can also provide you with exercises to continue progressing outside of our lessons. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I would be delighted to discuss your expectations, goals, and my teaching method with you. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey to master English. See you soon!
