Konnichiwa!こんにちは!

Are you going to Japan? Do you like Mangas? The culture and the Japanese language attract you but you never dared to start?
On the contrary, you already have a good foundation and want to take the JLPT exam? Or maybe you have to speak Japanese at work?

My courses are adaptable according to your level and your objectives:
- Discovery of culture and language (great beginners and false beginners)
- Improvement to prepare JLPT 1-5 exams
- Professional needs

We can work writing and speaking, with a method (Japan Foundation) or any other desired medium.

Whatever your motivation and level, Maki Sensei is here to help! (^ O ^)

This class is about learning Tunisian Arabic to easily interact with Tunisians. Tunisian Arabic is not the first dialect you hear about when you start to learn Arabic, but it is indeed one of the most fascinating and useful, especially if you are working in Tunisia, your partner is Tunisian or you are into North African social studies.
It occurred to you to be told that Tunisian Arabic has no grammatical or syntactic rules because it's not real Arabic? Well, that's not true! I can reveal you some tips to speak and sound Tunisian even if you don't know anything about Arabic. We will talk, play, watch videos from Tunisian tv programs and learn about language and culture.

I also do transcriptions and translations of documents and videos into French and Italian for academic researchers, journalists, and entrepreneurs.

Do you love Italy and would love to travel there? Would like to know more about the culture? My lessons are personalized to your needs and I make sure you don't get overwhelmed by the language, but enjoy the process of learning it! I always add a cultural element to my classes, so it's not just learning grammar, but learning how Italian people actually think and live.
Depending on your preference, I can teach the class fully in Italian or using English or Japanese when necessary.

Discover the joy of hands-on cooking! In this workshop, you'll learn the techniques behind truly artisanal dough products: from mixing and kneading the dough to rolling it out, shaping, and baking fresh pizza.

We use simple, high-quality ingredients, and I'll explain how small variations in flour, moisture, or resting time affect the final result.

The lesson is designed for anyone who loves cooking and wants to learn something new—whether you're a complete beginner or already have kitchen experience. At the end, you'll take home not only delicious pizza, but also the knowledge to recreate it entirely on your own.

This course is for people who want to learn how to cook in a way that meets specific dietary needs, particularly for those with diabetes, food allergies, or autoimmune diseases. The goal is to acquire simple, safe, and effective cooking techniques that allow you to prepare delicious meals while respecting nutritional restrictions and general health recommendations.

The course focuses on food education and culinary practice:

understanding of the ingredients and their effects (glycemic index, inflammatory load, common allergens),

adapting traditional recipes into lighter and better-tolerated versions,

food choices and cooking methods that promote balance,

smart substitutions (gluten-free, lactose-free, plant-based alternatives, low glycemic impact options),

prevention of cross-contamination in case of allergies,

meal planning and weekly preparation.

With extensive training in nutrition and wellness, as well as a long professional background in management, analysis, and communication, I take a structured, clear, and accessible approach. This course is not a substitute for medical advice, but it provides practical tools for cooking more mindfully, consciously, and healthily every day.

The sessions can take place in person in Geneva or online, depending on your preferences.
