Communication Training (Professional / Personal) & Public Speaking
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.

Currently, different contexts lead me to practice my profession as a State-certified Professor & Professional Coach, with ViPs, CEOs, people in active life, high-level athletes, students..
As well as Primary & Secondary students who wish to enter the International Class, in particular at CiV de Valbonne, Collège de Roquefort-Les-Pins...
Also, I practice face-to-face as well as remotely by videoconference; in France as in Europe.
Thus, during these two decades, I have implemented proven methodological approaches.
Some borrowed from the Theatre, such as the Davis method (mind mappings / colors); others in Professional Coaching (my specialty), such as Mental Preparation, Cognitive Remediation, Emotional Intelligence, 4th Generation NLP.
Knowing that the main objective here is to establish a specific framework, so as to accommodate a methodology adapted to each of the learners. In order to motivate them in the long term, in particular by developing a certain agility at home. For now, as for their future, when I will no longer be present at their side to accompany them.
Finally, Professor from General Education, mainly in scientific subjects, I propose to accompany you to become an actor in the construction of your learning path, especially in this period so singular but oh so rich in its opportunities and challenges to raise.
Besides that, I practice an hourly rate within the framework of the CESU.
In particular in order to benefit from a tax credit immediately within the framework of the CESU +. Or up to 50% less depending on your income.
Please contact me for more information regarding your situation.
See you soon Corinne.

Mathematics, Reading and Writing Tutor P1-P7, S1S2
As a passionate tutor, I am dedicated to helping students aged 7 to 14 enhance their skills in reading, writing, and math. My goal is to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel motivated to explore and excel in these fundamental subjects.
Reading: I strongly believe that reading is the key to unlocking a world of knowledge and imagination. In my reading sessions, I will focus on developing essential skills such as phonics, fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. Through a variety of activities, including reading aloud, guided reading, and discussions, I will help students improve their reading abilities, expand their literary horizons, and foster a lifelong love for books.
Writing: Effective communication through writing is crucial in all aspects of life. During my writing sessions, I will guide students in developing their writing skills, including grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, and organization. I will encourage creativity and provide opportunities for students to express themselves through various writing genres, such as narratives, persuasive essays, and descriptive paragraphs. We will also work on editing and revising their written work to enhance clarity and coherence.
Math: Mathematics is often viewed as a challenging subject, but I aim to make it accessible and enjoyable for my students. I will focus on building a strong foundation in math by reinforcing fundamental concepts, number sense, problem-solving strategies, and critical thinking skills. Through hands-on activities, interactive games, and real-world examples, I will help students develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and their practical applications. I will also provide targeted practice and individualized support to ensure mastery of each topic.
In all of my sessions, I strive to create a nurturing and inclusive learning environment, tailored to meet the unique needs and learning styles of each student. I am dedicated to building their confidence, fostering a growth mindset, and instilling a passion for learning. By setting clear goals, tracking progress, and providing constructive feedback, I will empower my students to reach their full potential in reading, writing, and math.
If you're seeking a dedicated tutor who is committed to your child's academic success and personal growth, I would be thrilled to be a part of their educational journey. Let's work together to unlock their full potential and inspire a lifelong love for learning!

Learn Dutch as a second language adapted to your needs!
I am a very experienced teacher in Dutch as a second language. I love working with people from other countries because it widens my view and apart from teaching you a new language, I will learn from you about new cultures. For me, learning a new language is first of all learning to get around in daily life. So, a beginners course will always start with this basic information: introducing yourself; making appointments with the dentist, hairdresser, and so on; shopping; going to a restaurant; etc.
On an intermediate level, we will work on your speaking skills: having a conversation with your colleagues about your weekend, reading a newspaper article and talk about it; talking about your hobbies, etc.
With advanced students we can work on whatever field they need; for example work or other things that are important for you.

Dutch lessons for children
I teach Dutch to children, adapted to the level of the child, the age and the goals that wish to be achieved. The lessons can be given entirely in Dutch, or with explanations and translations in English where necessary (if the child speaks English). With young children I often use cheerful images, games and songs to learn the language in a playful way. From experience, this also works fine online, via video calls.
If you send me a message, we can discuss the options together.
Tambien puedo dar las clases con traducciones en español.

Justyna
preparatory classes for IELTS / TOEFL / CAE / CPE exams
I graduated from the University of Athens where I attended courses in pedagogics, psychology, and linguistics.
I worked at a language center between 2009-2016 where I was a director of studies and taught mainly English as a foreign/second language. Since 2005, when I first started teaching English, I have taught children and adults on a variety of language proficiency levels and with a variety of needs (general knowledge/terminology/for specific purposes), both individually and in groups.
I constantly seek progress, meaning that I study further through reading books/articles concerning didactics/methodology and learning difficulties (chiefly dyslexia), observing other teachers as well as attending seminars (online or face-to-face).
I will help you learn weird English spelling and pronunciation with fun. I assign homework and after I receive it, correct it thoroughly additionally providing a lot of remarks/examples if they are necessary.
During my lessons I use :
- Skype/Whatsapp/Messenger to connect with you,
- Google Docs to keep notes, which you can check at any time and they are yours to keep,
- sketch board me to make mind maps to show connections between ideas, etc.
- books, PPP, word docs, diagrams, pics, etc.
- pronunciation/spelling/grammar games,
- authentic materials were taken from websites.
I adore my profession and desire each and every one of my students be satisfied with the lesson. That's why I make sure the atmosphere is stress-free and nice. I also want my lessons to be as effective and close to real-life needs as possible. Therefore, I make sure they are well-prepared, although they can be altered at any point, should such an opportunity arise. I like explaining things in a variety of ways as well as make use of dictionaries, diagrams, etc. When it comes to students who want to obtain certificates, I am very demanding.
What can I teach?
- I would love to help you improve/develop all language skills (speaking/writing-listening/reading + grammar/vocabulary/pronunciation),
- I would love to help you prepare for certificates such as IELTS / TOEFL / CAE-ALCE / CPE-ECPE,
- I would love to help you with homework and assignments (literature, history) from school and university (but please contact me about that IN ADVANCE).
