English and Spanish presentation coaching for professionals and personal development. Dynamic, provoking, self-challenging and practice.

From 117.5 $ /h

Effective speaking with an audience should not rely on boring PowerPoint slides. The ability to give a presentation is a much misused skill. Presenters regularly provide what interests themselves rather than their audience and couple this with the popular beliefe that we remember what we see in writing. A fact that is totally untrue.

Through dynamic, thought-provoking and self-challenging courses, couples with extensive practice, I will teach you the golden rules needed to organise your presentations, identify, engage with your audience and importantly adapt to your audience.

All speaking is a form of selling, whether it is a product, an idea, a project or even yourself to a company. Most people face nervousness and shyness when it comes to speaking in public. Although it could be learned by practice, it is a bad teacher unless it is not coupled with effective feedback.

Ask yourself, what do I want my audience to take from my presentation, what should they do with this information? If your audience does not take anything away or cannot do anything with this information, then you might just as well have been storytelling, perhaps well, but you have not given a good presentation.

This class is for academics, managers, business people and those interested in improving their presentation skills, body language, and structure of their talk in a simple and effective manner that everyone can remember.

My course is also intended for those seeking to improve their spoken language skills in Spanish and English. I am native in Spanish and fluent in English having recently finished my PhD in Humanitarian studies from the University of Manchester, UK.

I am a passionate coach with a strong academic background. I discovered my passion for teaching and mentoring others while travelling and working around the world with different NGOs and enterprises. I use an innovative methodology that put the students' strengths at the foreground to overcome shyness and fear when it comes to speaking in public. I welcome people from all genders and ages interested in providing professional and effective presentations either in English and \ or Spanish.

Extra information

During the first session, we will discuss what you aim to improve and why you aim to improve it. We will discuss the proposed methodology and I will carry out an initial assessment in order for me to create a class tailored to your specific needs and requirements.

I teach students, as well as adults who want to improve their English for professional reasons.
My experience over the past 10 years has allowed me to develop a simple and effective method that adapts to the needs of the student, taking into account their interests. This way, the student becomes seriously involved and progresses quickly.
My native ear allows me to have a real impact on the pronunciation and accent of the student, without ever neglecting the importance of learning to write. In addition, my experience as a translator allows me to teach the different nuances of the language in the most efficient way possible.

This training allows you to learn about the concepts of emotional intelligence & empathy with the aim of better recognizing and understanding your own emotions and those of others. Being aware of emotions allows better management of behavior in human relationships, both in the professional, private, entrepreneurial framework (...). For example, as a key to management, it makes it possible to:

• Measure the impact of emotions in team management.
• Analyze your own mode of operation to get the most out of it.
• To be able to put in place strategies to regulate his own emotions and those of his collaborators.
• Know how to approach delicate interviews taking into account the emotional factor.
• To be able to understand, recognize and name his own emotions as well as those of his collaborators.
• Discover the emotional process.
• Manage the team (the impact of emotions on communication and decision making), the emotional quotient and
leadership styles.
• Motivate and mobilize its employees over the long term, and in particular in the context of interviews "to
strong emotional potential "(reframing, motivation, problem solving, tense sessions, conflicts etc).

Emotional intelligence is a process of personal development over time. This training allows you to initiate the process, with concrete tools that can be applied on a daily basis. This training combines group activities, individual reflections, videos and scenarios.

From theory to practice with simulations. It is a question of putting in place rational and professional tools to achieve the objectives set together and overcome the blockages initially defined.

Controlled, the techniques allow:

• to rely on emotional intelligence and capitalize on the empathy communicated to better ensure that his message is better received his message or being.

• improve credibility, self-confidence and ease (verbal-bodily) with public speaking and a more fluid sense of repartee.

• defuse conflicts and enter your comfort / safety zone. In particular simple and logical techniques, which make it possible to resolve and manage violent situations in a harmonious, effective and lasting way, for example through NVC (Non Violent Communication).

• better manage negotiation situations (contrary to the stereotypes conveyed, negotiation is not only financial, but it can be small everyday events).

• Match the content and form of your message while improving the use of your emotional intelligence.

What you will get out of it:
• Better control of emotions and therefore of your way of communicating
• Better understanding of the feelings of others and the ability to lead them successfully
• Better relationships in personal and professional life thanks to superior emotional intelligence
• Less stress thanks to a better understanding of one's emotions and those of others
• Greater determination and results-oriented mindset
• Ways to develop and apply emotional intelligence in the workplace

As a French-German and trilingual student (French and German as native languages – English CEC C1), I offer tutoring and homework help for students from primary to secondary I and II (approximately 10 to 20 years old).
I provide support in all subjects, although French and languages are my specialty.

Having already completed several years of tutoring, I have a great capacity for adaptation, and above all, we will build the pace of the tutoring together according to your needs. Furthermore, my experience as an older sister has taught me how to create a reassuring and motivating environment for learning and education.

Each session is fully personalized:
• Review and explanation of concepts not understood,
• adapted exercises,
• Preparation for tests, assessments and exams
• homework help,
• Methodological support (work organization, memorization, writing, autonomy).

I place particular importance on a caring approach to help each student progress, strengthen their skills and gain confidence!

My name is Nicolas, and I'm an English teacher with eight years of teaching experience. I've spoken English since I was a teenager and have continued to practice it through my many travels. My level was further improved during an extended stay in Canada. In 2018, I passed the TEFL Cambridge exam, the English as a Foreign Language Teaching Certificate.

Having also gone through the process of learning to speak this language, I am well aware of the different stages my students go through. This helps considerably.

My courses are custom-built to achieve personal goals and are adapted to the specific needs of each individual.

Practice is prioritized throughout the learning process to foster independence as quickly as possible. Basic grammar and vocabulary concepts are also covered, depending on the student's level.

This course is aimed at:
- Beginners (basics, conversation, travel);
- Intermediate/advanced (improvement, exam preparation: TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC);
- Professionals (business English, interview preparation).

Feel free to contact me for more information.

With pleasure :)

Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world, making its learning increasingly important. It is a melodious and highly evolved language, which makes it particularly interesting and enjoyable. Spanish is a language with many ways of expressing the same idea and connects 21 countries across 3 continents.

I love teaching my native language, which is why I strive to teach it in a fun, student-centered, and results-oriented way. My students are very satisfied with the results and enjoy every lesson.
So, what are you waiting for to sign up for my Spanish course?
