English, University Prep Tutoring, and Public Speaking
I graduated with the Sir Colin Lucas Prize at the University of Oxford and summa cum laude from Columbia University in the city of New York. I worked with New York Times writer Mark Lilla and currently have a book contract in English. In my spare time, I help students and my peers alike to hone their writing skills.
Indeed, I have edited hundreds of essays of high school students wishing to attend top-tier universities in the US and the UK, and I would love to help you achieve your academic goals.
In addition, I can maintain intellectually stimulating discussions and touch on various topics in English, and at the end of the session, I will provide you a list of what you can improve on.
I will create a comfortable environment and make sure to correct every error so that you can ultimately speak eloquently and write coherently.
Finally, I can also hone your vocabulary and grammar skills.

CONSULTANT & BEHAVIORAL ANALYST: METHODS & TECHNIQUES FOR COMMUNICATION (PROFESSIONAL/PERSONAL)
Behavioral analysis uses principles of behavior to solve practical everyday problems. Starting from observations, several hypotheses are put forward, without ever judging, to decode and decipher gestures, words, a way of expressing oneself (...). Based on empathy, these methods allow:
- on the one hand, to understand his interlocutor and to adapt to the situation to effectively transmit his messages and convince
- on the other hand, to improve one's own verbal and non-verbal communication with a verified methodology and very specific techniques
Therefore, it is not only a question of learning to 'decode' the other but also of improving one's skills during oral interventions in public, better managing one's personal/professional communication & the conflicts which result from it, mastering the negotiation techniques (...): your objectives in terms of communication can be diverse and the objective of these sessions is precisely to accompany you to better achieve them. So how do you get a clear message across, make a difference & make an impression?
➤ So, how to listen and be listened to, convince and be impactful, challenge and make an impression, enhance your content, address your audience effectively and optimize the quality & clarity of the exchange / message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques of oral presentation, of simple intervention or of 'one to one` exchange, aiming to challenge your audience or interlocutor, by taking care of the substance as well as the form. , all in a professional or personal context. For this, there are various techniques of verbal and non-verbal communication.
➤ Thus, mastered, the practical method allows, through a set of simulations and scenarios based on your daily experience to support pragmatic & concrete techniques, to decode the gestures and behaviors of its interlocutors but also to improve confidence in self, his confidence, his ease by overcoming his embarrassment and mastering his emotion in public. But also to work on his leadership & his charisma, in a context where empathy and emotional intelligence are at the service of communication.
➤ So, in this context, after having precisely defined your objective & gone through the blockages encountered, here are some examples of themes covered through concrete techniques & a targeted methodology:
✓Practical tools to perfect your rhetoric/repartee
✓Decode and use the practical communication tools of great leaders
✓Fundamentals (practices) of eloquence but also of public speaking (intonation, gaze, gestures, elocution, range, emotions, pronunciation, development of one's own style of charisma) to ensure consistency between substance & form
✓Fundamentals of Body Language to support and not interfere with the speech while being convinced & convincing.
✓ Highlighting their speech & promoting their speaking to arouse interest, by building on their strengths.
✓Creation of a coherence between the message emitted & the message received in order to improve its speech and in fact, its professional/personal relations.
✓Management of Q&A sessions & external reactions during an intervention or an oral exchange.
✓Practical tools to put your interlocutor at ease and appear friendly/interested.
✓To succeed in a negotiation/mediation.
✓On the one hand, learning to say 'no' simply in three steps AND on the other hand, getting people to say 'yes'.
✓To turn sentences into positive AND constructive.
✓To manage conflicts (eg 'assertive' communication techniques, eg CNV techniques - Non Violent Communication).
✓To put NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) at the service of communication.
✓To adopt effective, simple, fair and engaging language.
✓To use sentences, turns of phrase & expressions allowing to be precise, simple, effective & challenging.
✓To manage your personal & professional relationships with, for example, the preparation of your ratings.
✓Make your hypersensitivity a strength to tame your abilities.
✓Listening proactively and expressing / conveying ideas / message clearly.
✓ Avoid letting your emotions show through and propose a constructive solution to problems, while drawing on your own relational skills.
✓Be better equipped to recognize and immediately remedy situations that weaken their authority and affect their ability to communicate effectively.
✓Enhance their potential for expression and creativity (often underestimated until now) and 'apparent' sociability
✓Develop not necessarily self-confidence, but the 'appearance' of self-confidence, refine one's listening to respond adequately, open up to the resources of the imagination, free oneself from the rational to then structure one's speech.
✓Relate their communication objectives (project, institution, values, ideas, demands, etc.) to the form of their expression.
✓Learn and put into practice persuasive communication techniques and better understand the perception that others have of oneself. In order to improve his skills of 'self-presentation' and conveyed image.
✓Practical techniques to foster the engagement of the other party.
✓Strengthen the structure of its communication and develop a convincing argument in order to sell its ideas and projects.
(…)
➤ To master the keys to successful public communication, it is advisable to reinforce the impact of one's speeches: by structuring one's interventions and taking into account the circumstances and expectations of the public; by making an impression through storytelling; integrating the psychological and emotional factors of effective oral communication; integrating emotions in the preparation of the message and the arguments; anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an attractive and convincing presentation framework; by experimenting with the rules of improvisation; by adequately managing difficult situations (...).
➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practical exercises adapted to your daily situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live), so that you can apply them immediately, and from the 1st session.
➤ THE TRAINER
Trained in a Grande Ecole post-preparatory European classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication, in renowned international public and private establishments, intervening in forums and conferences, & oriented towards pedagogy and careful methodology.

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.
✓ To support us among ourselves & to be pleasant to you in this sustainable / particular period and in a spirit of solidarity, the fees are temporarily reduced and will not increase after the start of our sessions.

English Tutoring for Adults - Beginners to Advanced
Hello! I have been teaching English for five years, to adults and children alike. I offer classes that are uniquely adapted to the students needs and their interests. My aim is to build my student's confidence, by following their line of inquiry — engaging in a rich, and increasingly challenging dialogue with the individual.
My classes are for adults and professionals, who want to:
. Develop and widen their vocabulary;
. Need help preparing for an exam, a paper or an important interview;
. Gain confidence in spoken English;
. Attain a fluent level of spoken and written English
We will begin by identifying the student's greatest interests — those subjects they are most curious about and topics that stimulate them. These topics will be "stimulators", fueling conversations and language activities that the student themselves will eventually lead. Then, we will identify the student's biggest worries regarding the English language — where they are confused, or tend to make mistakes. This will form the workshop part of the lesson, focused on overcoming tricky grammatical mistakes and revising more complex linguistic and phonetic errors.
After 8 years of teaching I have found this tailored approach to be, by far, the most effective. I look forward to collaborating with you soon!

Learn the English language to communicate, for business or anything else you have to do
Good morning ! Let's get acquainted! My name is Alexander. I am a teacher of foreign languages, especially English, Russian and Spanish. I have been teaching for 10 years now and during this time I have developed my own teaching methodology based on the techniques of foreign language schools. I have found that many people are not properly taught and are offered confusing methods with convoluted names just to make a sale, but with no substance behind them. This led me to develop my own style of teaching which was formed through trial and error, but it was well worth it as I now have a solid approach to education. I use textbooks for native speakers because it helps to deepen the language faster. My lessons also involve reading classic literature from the British, Spanish and Russian times of prosperity, when their books sold in large numbers and became world classics. With children, we prefer to read comics, manga and fairy tales. In addition, we create our own books and study vocabulary and grammar through them, with adults as well as with children. We spend a lot of time watching movies, cartoons, anime, listening to famous compositions of music performers who entered the music classics of the countries mentioned before, writing our own songs which we then study . Also, during our lessons, we create computer games in Unreal Engine 5 or Unity to learn languages for computing and learn creative skills to create worlds. We also incorporate other modern technologies, including virtual reality glasses, where immersion in the language environment happens quickly, using various language learning apps to learn new vocabulary words, correct pronunciation , artificial intelligence as an aid and interlocutor, an unlimited encyclopedia of knowledge, electronic books to facilitate reading and translation. I will prepare you to take the international exams for all these languages, including DELE, IELTS, TOEFL, etc.
At the end of the course you will be able to:
Fluent in english
Take English to the next level
Dramatically improve your English pronunciation
Easily construct grammatically correct sentences in English
Learn tons of English words and phrases on many different topics
Feel confident speaking English

Improve your speeches in public and in meetings / Paris
Public speaking is one of the most scary things for human beings. For some, this can be extremely disabling and hinder their entire career.
But this apprehension concerns a very large percentage of the population and crosses all categories of age, sex or socio-professional environment. If you are in this case, you can start by reassuring yourself: you are not alone!
The second good news is that it works! It is by practicing that you will learn how to lower the level of stress, to be more aware of what you have to do and to be well prepared.
To practice, I offer private lessons: a benevolent and demanding environment that will allow us to adapt to your specific needs. Once you have understood your fears and learned to overcome them, speaking (in public, meeting) may be a great source of fun!

tutoring / private lessons in math-French-English
My tutoring courses aim to help students in difficulty in mathematics, English and French and to try as best as possible to make them assimilate the knowledge they need in order to succeed.
I offer support courses in French and English from primary to college and in mathematics from primary to high school (second and first level). These courses can be a help with homework but also a more in-depth course on a notion not understood, however I cannot replace a real teacher and I therefore do not give lessons on new concepts for the student, which will be better presented to him. at school, college or high school. I am there to support the student in his learning if he faces difficulties, with the aim of overcoming them.
To do this, if you want to book a course, first explain to me the subject of the course, that is to say the notion to be studied, as well as in what form (in help with homework or in more theoretical course for a better understanding), I would prepare the course based on these parameters.
Hoping that my services will satisfy you!
