Travel French, getting around France with Ease, ooo lala ;)

40.45 $ /h

Are you planning a trip to France? Do you need some practical phase to get around airports, hotels, restaurants, beaches, ski resorts? Do you need help understanding cultural differences and customs? Would you like to sound less anglosaxon as to avoid the snooty, confused looks? Would you like some great places to visit that are less known than typical travel packages?
Well, I'm the one stop shop. I fell in love with France when I did junior high exchange, majored in French in College, and I've been living here for over 20 years. Here, I'm an English teacher but since I've lived here I'm fluent in French, and in the French ;).
- I can guide you with the language and grammar with some basic, useful vocabulary and phrases.
- We'll practice asking questions which is vital for travelling and life in general.
-I'll give you some pronunciation tips.
-We'll do some role plays and listening comprehension.
-I could also make some good suggestions for off the beaten track places to see and visit.

English training, a multisensoriel approach with a native American

35.55 $ /h

No matter what level, or what age, learning a language, especially English is going to serve you. My approach to teaching is interactive and I'd like to stress that what you get out of it, so improving, will depend on your implication. Your effort and positivity will pay off in the long run. I've even written 3 ebook workbooks to accompany you, if you'd like. I adapt to your needs, but I've found that the biggest lack is with the tenses and vocabulary. Listening comp and pronunciation are a closed second (and they're connected:) As you actively apply what you learn, you'll grow in confidence while having fun.
I can also help with your CV, cover letters, interviews in English, or presentations.

Do you want to learn how to compose your own music? Do you want to be able to express yourself and put your own thoughts in musical form? In this Classical Composition or Songwriting class, that's exactly what we'll be focusing on! You can choose to focus on composing classical music, using scores, or creating your own songs, either for you or other people to sing. You will learn music theory, learn how to use music software like reaper, ableton, sibelius or musescore, and you'll work alongside me to discover your own voice in music making.

My name is Bernardo and I am a composer from Portugal who specializes and studies contemporary classical music. I also create my own songs in a singer-songwriter style and I have made music for film and videogame.
I am currently doing a master's in Composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp where I study with Wim Henderickx. I have studied in the past with composers such as Luís Tinoco, Carlos Caires and Eurico Carrapatoso.
My works have been played in several European concert halls and I have in my portfolio works for solo instruments, chamber ensembles, orchestra and choir.

I am also currently doing a bachelor's in singing at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp, so if you are a singer-songwriter, we can also work on your own voice.

Do you feel stuck in your practice or performance? Do you have the skills but struggle to express your musical voice with clarity and confidence? Or maybe you’ve been performing for years but want to take your artistry further — deeper, freer, more authentically you.

That’s where I come in.

I work as a musician, coach & creative mentor, helping performers connect the dots between their artistry, mindset, and professional life.

As a violist and saxophonist with experience in solo, chamber, orchestral, classical, jazz, pop, and world music, I understand the many layers of being a musician today. It’s not just about practicing and performing — it’s also about shaping your identity, reaching your audience, and managing the behind-the-scenes work that keeps your career moving.

💡 In our sessions, we can explore whatever part of your musical journey needs support:

* 🎻 Performance & Interpretation – confidence, expression, storytelling through sound
* 🎶 Chamber & Ensemble Skills – communication, listening, blending
* 🌍 Artistic Identity – shaping your unique voice and presence as a musician
* 💡 Mindset & Stage Presence – overcoming self-doubt, nerves, or creative blocks
* 📲 Practical Support – planning projects, creating content for socials, organizing tools, and simple automations to make your musical life run smoother

You don’t have to do this alone.

Whether you’re a student, an emerging artist, or already established, we’ll work with what’s inside you — your instincts, your strengths, your goals. Sessions can be a one-time deep dive or part of a longer creative journey together.

👉 Think of it as having a coach, mentor, and creative ally for both your music and your career.

Conscious Communication and Clear Boundaries is a course designed to help you express yourself with confidence, respect, and clarity in different contexts of your personal and professional life. You will learn to communicate your ideas, needs, and emotions consciously, without guilt or fear, and to establish healthy boundaries that strengthen your relationships.

Throughout the course, you will develop practical skills to speak confidently, say "no" assertively, handle difficult conversations, and respond calmly to challenging situations. We will work on verbal and emotional communication so you can communicate authentically and with self-control.

This course is ideal for people who want to improve their communication, gain confidence in expressing themselves, reduce conflicts, and create more balanced relationships, both at work and in daily life.

I teach acoustic guitar and singing for people who want to perform as soloists — whether that’s for intimate gigs, ceremonies, songwriting, or simply to feel confident playing and singing at the same time.

My approach is practical, musical, and grounded in real performance. We focus on:
• accompanying yourself on guitar in a way that supports your voice
• finding keys and arrangements that actually suit you
• rhythm, dynamics, and groove (even with just one guitar)
• building confidence to sing freely while playing
• stripping songs back to their emotional core

Lessons are tailored to where you’re at — beginners are welcome, as are singers who already perform but want stronger guitar skills, or guitarists who want to feel more at home with their voice.

This isn’t about perfection or flashy technique. It’s about connection, feel, and learning how to hold a room with just a guitar and your voice. We can focus on simply singing or guitar as well, if you like.

My approach is guided by a simple principle: make music first. From the beginning, students are encouraged to play real music—songs, grooves, and progressions—while we build the technical and theoretical foundation underneath.
Lessons combine:
Practical technique and posture
Chords, strumming, and rhythm
Fingerstyle and lead fundamentals
Ear training and musical awareness
Basic music theory as it applies to the guitar
Playing and singing simultaneously (for singer-songwriters)
