About Me

Nice to meet you, I'm Nicolas, I'm...

Passionate actor and teacher, graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels (Bachelor's and Master's degrees) in Theatre and Speech Arts and qualified teacher (ESAHR, secondary, higher education).

I started theatre at the age of 5, I spent among other things 10 years at the Royal University Theatre of Liège (TURLG), 5 years at the Grétry Academy, 5 years at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels (Master and Agrégation).

My artistic background is eclectic, I am curious and like to try my hand at everything (eloquence competitions and prizes, interdisciplinary projects in music - singing, directing, dubbing, puppetry, writing, speech therapy, animation, cinema/short films, cabaret/singing, international theatre, assistant director, etc.).

My teaching career: a three-month replacement in the academy, as a professor of Drama and Declamation, at the Académie Grétry, in Liège (2024): resumption of the drama projects of two adult classes, before the assessment of the first term: intensive rehearsals, detailed work, run-throughs and finalization; organization of the public assessment of the two drama classes; launch of work on two drama projects centered on "Classical Tragedy": choice of plays, exploratory work, staging; launch of the second term work in declamation (training and qualification streams): research and interpretative work.

I have been a theatre teacher at the Beyne-Heusay academy, at the Antoine Vitez Centre (ASBL) and am currently a teacher at the Ampsin academy ("Alliance des Arts" ASBL) and on my own account in the context of annual workshops ("Appulse Créations" ASBL).

Besides the technical aspect, vocal coaching is also a great source of inspiration for me.
After undergoing vocal rehabilitation (speech therapy) which was decisive for the continuation of my artistic career, I make it a point of honor to pass on the wealth of my discoveries to help anyone who wishes to learn more about their vocal instrument, how to take care of it and understand it.

I see pedagogy as active support, a dialogue, helping you to get in touch and go beyond your limits, through drivers such as pleasure, sharing, playfulness and demands.

So, shall we meet soon?

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!

I am a qualified and experienced native Spanish teacher. I teach for several years to english students and I have been teaching spanish in Germany for 1 year.

I have studied Philologie in the University in Spain

I trained as a Spanish Teacher for Foreigners in Germany.

I can speak English and German fluently, so there will be no difficulty in the teacher-student relationship.

You can get good results with me, both if you want to learn or to improve your Spanish, whatever your goal:

• To obtain a DELE diploma from any level.
• To improve your Erasmus experience.
• To improve your experience as a tourist.
• If you want to practice your Spanish regularly to maintain your current level

I teach for all levels, grammar or conversation with personalized methodology to the age, mother language and previous studies of the student.

I take as a point of reference the level and the goal that the student wants to achieve in order to apply one or another method.

In case of group lessons, the price can be different.

💬 Is your English pronunciation holding you back?
• Do people misunderstand you and ask you to repeat yourself?
• Do you notice that people get tired listening to you?
• Do you feel judged before you even finish speaking?

I’m Tom, a native English speaker from the south of England. I’ve been teaching pronunciation to people from around the world for many years (I became a teacher at 22 and now I'm 35 – I'll let you do the maths)

* That's the International Phonetic Alphabet, a super useful way to write pronunciation. It's easier than it looks, and I can teach you!

I've developed my methods from a double master's degree in Applied Linguistics and English Linguistics plus many years of teaching and honing my skills. My methods are always backed by research, experience and student feedback.

❗ 45-minute lessons are via Zoom only

I offer one-to-one English accent coaching personalised for your needs and goals. I will help you correctly produce the sounds of English so that you can immediately start speaking with more clarity, confidence, and control – and without feeling awkward or anxious.

Although I take coaching seriously, and I want you to as well, my classes are also light-hearted and warm. People learn best when they’re enjoying themselves and feeling deeply interested, and that is my promise to you. I will correct your mistakes, but I will never shame or embarrass you for making them. My class is a place where people come to feel good and grow confidence.

⭐ English Pronunciation and Accent Coaching / Training / Reduction with a Qualified Expert Native Teacher

WHAT WILL I LEARN?
• Change key vowel and consonant sounds that cause misunderstandings
• Control your rhythm, intonation and pausing
• Build links between your hearing and speech muscles
• Breathe comfortably and strengthen your voice
• Adapt your voice appropriately for different purposes – meetings, interviews, presentations, pitches, conversations, and more

➡️ Fast pronunciation improvements – our main goal at all times

WILL I SOUND 100% NATIVE?
❗Research shows that for most adult speakers, it's just not possible after our teenage years to develop a fully native accent. So, honest accent coaching is not about training you to sound native. Instead, a good coach will train you to be understood by as many people as possible and communicate exactly what you intend. That means fixing problematic sounds and expanding your range of vocal styles by borrowing from voice acting techniques, from sounding authoritative and executive to warm and supportive.

If you do want to sound native, I can still help you – whichever accent you prefer – from the UK, USA, Australia or anywhere else. You might not sound fully native at the end, but you can still make adjustments so that you like the way you sound.

WHAT ARE YOUR METHODS?
I've learned my methods from a double master's degree in Applied Linguistics and English Linguistics plus many years of teaching. My methods are always backed by research, experience and student feedback.

• I use modern evidence-based methods including speech visualisation software, shadowing and HVPT
• I create my own original training materials tailored to YOUR individual language background, goals, requirements and preferences – I offer a customised course specifically for you, not a one-size-fits-all package
• You’ll start with controlled practice to master new sounds, then move into spontaneous speech so that these skills become part of your everyday speaking habits.

Curious to learn more or not sure if you need coaching? Send me a message and I'll be happy to give you my honest opinion.

✓ Improvisation is the art of composing within the framework of a role play, without being overplayed so as not to lose credibility, by taking pleasure and appearing convinced (because communication does not consist, for example, of having confidence, but of appearing confident). It helps with a wide range of skills (imagination, emotional faculties, physical expressiveness, vocal projection, clarity of speech, interpretation, improvisation, observation, emulation, stage combat...) to make public speaking, communication , the theatricalization enhanced by the stage space and the play of the actor - improviser.

✓ Your inventiveness, singularity, commitment and signature being at the center of this training, it is about giving you the techniques to improvise, create, stage, while showing confidence and conviction to your interlocutors, in the private sphere or of the professional.

✓ So how can you also confront your shyness or lack of (relative) self-confidence by surpassing yourself by moving forward?
➤ Express yourself with your body, your emotions, your ideas to mobilize your abilities and your creative energy
➤ Explore your path to personal expression in complete freedom and security by overcoming your fears of expressing yourself in public
➤ Activate flexibility of mind, particularly by practicing active listening
➤ Develop your creativity and imagination while overcoming your shyness, developing your speaking, listening and responding skills
➤ Anchor lasting resources such as letting go, leaving one's comfort zone thanks to a caring framework and personalized modules/exercises

In application: For example, awareness raising and introduction to the Art of Storytelling have several objectives: Storytelling in public, Composing a repertoire of stories, Organizing a collective show, Games and bringing emotions into play (...). These theoretical training and practical training sessions (story structure, voice, memory, diction, management of stage fright, etc.).

It is a question of going through the history of the tale (origin, different styles of tale, difference between tale and story), the art of telling (work on the voice, the body, the imagination), the tale and the child (importance of the story for the overall development of the child, resource of the imagination, difference between reading and telling) ...: in short, the intention of this course is to make you want even more, to better tell stories

Open to all those interested in the story (parents, teachers, animators, educators ...), these sessions can also be offered to the person of your choice.

With the program, for this example of storytelling art in particular:
✓ Explore and experience the art of storytelling and discover its hidden sides
✓ Express yourself with your body, your emotions, your ideas, play with situations (...)
✓ Mobilize your capacities and creative energy
✓ Open interior spaces of reverie
✓ Explore your path of personal expression in complete freedom and security
✓ Overcome your fear of public speaking
✓ Make room for your imagination, Develop your creativity
✓ Activate flexibility of mind, Practice active listening
✓ Cooperate, create, play down

The art of storytelling therefore allows you to develop your creativity and imagination, because you are both a director and an actor. It also allows you to overcome shyness and develop speaking, listening and responding skills. Each person evolves at their own pace and uses their sense of creativity.

Objective: to anchor sustainable resources such as letting go, creativity, presence or self-confidence. In short, this artistic discipline will accompany you in your personal development and will help you get out of your comfort zone thanks to a benevolent environment and playful exercises.

THE TRAINER
With training from a Grande Ecole post-European preparatory class & an Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 18 years in the field, in international establishments, speaking in forums and conferences.

➤ PLACE, TIMETABLE, PRICES

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.
