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.

➤ Being a good manager is also being a good communicator. After all, a strategy can only be put into practice if you show yourself capable of interacting with your employees, of being a source of inspiration for them and of listening to their concerns. Unfortunately, not all managers naturally excel in this role and their difficulties in asserting themselves as true leaders is often attributable to their difficulties in communicating.

➤ The objective would then be to explore together the areas of improvement in terms of communication know-how. And managing effectively requires specific and advanced know-how.

➤ In fact, managerial communication corresponds to the interactions between the management of the company and the organization and more specifically, between the manager and his team. This executive is in charge of transmitting information and directives from higher hierarchical levels, supporting internal communication, distilling messages related to his own management to obtain the commitment of his team, all while transmitting a message effectively.

➤ This exercise can therefore be tricky: this is why it is important to choose the right mediator in order to be well supported, not only to be understood by those around him, but also to carry out his mission.

➤ What to communicate? When ? Whose ? These questions will find an answer in the consistency of the actions undertaken. Good managerial communication will thus aim to exchange / dialogue effectively with its employees, maintain a close link between the different layers of the company, bring human relations back to the heart of the company, establish a climate of trust and good team cohesion, motivate by inspiring.

➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practice exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live), so that you can put them into practice immediately, and this from the 1st session.

Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 or 3 sessions *. (* study 2020).

➤ THE TRAINER:
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication , in reputable international public and private establishments, intervening in forums and conferences, and oriented on two axes: training and coaching, with pedagogy and careful methodology as key words.

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.

Kids don't need lectures about "good money habits." They need to feel what money does.
While adults debate finances at home, kids are already using money, without actually understanding how.

In this course, we learn by playing. And by thinking.
We'll explore together:
✓ Simulate a real shop: handle actual money, practice spending and saving, discover what it feels like
✓ Create a personal budget: not boring spreadsheets, but visuals, games, and real challenges
✓ Ask the real questions: Need vs. want. Why save? How do people earn? What's debt?
✓ Discover how systems work: Banks, loans, digital money, and financial security
✓ Think like an entrepreneur: What services can I offer? How do I create value? How do I turn an idea into money?

Why this is different:
Most kids think "money is complicated." This class shows them that money is a tool, not a mystery, not something to fear.
And, more importantly: that they can control it.

What they take home:
A personal budgeting system they actually understand. Answers to questions they've been asking. And the mindset: money is a means, not an end.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60-min sessions | Small group or one-on-one

For curious kids who ask questions about money.

Each lesson is tailored to fit the student’s unique goals, whether you aim to perform, deepen your musical knowledge, or simply enjoy singing with confidence.

My approach is relaxed and encouraging, creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable their vocal journey.

For artists, songwriters, and creatives ready to shape their vision.

Are you working on your own songs and feeling stuck?
Do you have a head full of ideas but struggle to bring them together into one clear artistic story?
Or maybe you’ve already created something you're proud of, but you want to take it further — deeper, bolder, more you.

I'm here to help you connect the dots.

As a singer, songwriter, producer and creative director working on my own debut album, I know how overwhelming the creative process can feel. There’s so much more to being an artist than just making music. Your sound, your visuals, your story, your live performance — it’s all connected. That’s where I come in.

In our sessions, we can explore whatever part of your creative world needs support:

🎵 Songwriting – melody, lyrics, structure, harmony
🎧 Production Direction – from early sketches to refined ideas
🌙 Artistic Identity – visual storytelling, aesthetics, branding
🎤 Performance & Presence – connecting with your audience
💡 Creative Strategy – organizing ideas and unlocking new ones
🌀 Intuitive Guidance – sometimes you just need a sounding board

You don’t have to do this alone.

Whether you're a beginner or a more advanced artist, we’ll work with what’s already inside you — your instincts, your taste, your questions. Sessions are fully personalized and can be a one-time deep dive or part of a longer creative journey together.

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.
