Services (What we'll do together)
I offer mentoring and decoding sessions focused on:
• Logic Reset: Identify and defuse the mental programs that block your evolution.
• Biological Alignment: Learn to listen to and direct the body's energy as a compass of truth.
• Archetypal Navigation: Use the 12 Codes to map your reality and make decisions with absolute clarity.
• Unlocking the Rebel Vocation: Transform your shadow and internal conflicts into fuel for your practical fulfillment.

I'm Leo, and my job is to accompany those who feel out of place in a world of pre-packaged answers. Through the RCS (Remember Who You Are) system, I help determined individuals take a leap of awareness and autonomy: dismantling cognitive barriers and reconnecting with their creative and vital source (the Soul). I have chosen to operate outside of social media to ensure maximum depth and integrity in every journey I lead. I work with those who are tired of theory and seek substance. My sessions are spaces of truth, without compromise. I offer my experience and tools to help you see what the Matrix hides, so you can once again be the sole author of your life.

My name is Yvette, I am a primary school teacher and educational psychologist and have more than 10 years of experience teaching Dutch abroad.
During an initial consultation, we'll discuss your needs. Why do you want to learn Dutch, and which aspects of the language should receive the most attention? Everyone has different goals and desires, and my lessons are tailored to them. I teach everyone, young and old, who wants to learn Dutch or improve their skills. I believe it's important to structure the lessons so that everyone gets the most out of each hour, while also allowing room for variety and improvisation. My experience as a teacher and educational psychologist has taught me how to quickly put people at ease. Moreover, I've personally experienced what it's like to learn a foreign language (German and English), so I can easily empathize.

Special Education:
During my career I managed an education centre for adults with learning disabilities, which means I am highly experienced in teaching and supporting people with different learning needs and goals.

I built curriculums and teaching resources for those with complex learning and physical challenges, and I am trained to use Makaton, a form of sign language designed to support people with learning disabilities to communicate.

If you are someone with a disability, or a carer of someone looking to develop English or other independent living skills, please get in touch to discuss how I might be able to help you.

Do you want to improve your English for school, work, or everyday life? My name is Mohammed, and I offer personalized English lessons tailored to your specific goals and learning style.

Whether you are a beginner trying to grasp the basics or an advanced student looking to perfect your fluency, I am here to help. For younger learners, I provide a patient and supportive environment to tackle homework, prepare for exams (like IELTS or Bac), and build strong foundational skills. For adults, I focus on practical conversation, business English, and grammar refinement.

My methodology is simple:

Interactive Learning: We don't just use textbooks; we use articles, videos, and real-life scenarios.

Focus on Communication: I encourage speaking from day one to build your confidence.

Customized Plans: Every student is unique. We will focus on the areas where you need the most help, whether it's writing essays, pronunciation, or reading comprehension.

Hello! My name is Tyra and I am a native Thai speaker from Thailand. I am passionate about helping students from around the world learn Thai in a simple, practical, and enjoyable way.

My lessons focus mainly on speaking and real-life communication, so you can use Thai confidently in daily situations such as traveling, living in Thailand, communicating with friends, or working with Thai people.

My name is Hanna, and I am happy to meet you here 😊

My credo is to love what I teach and those to whom I teach.

The first class is devoted to identifying your level of Russian language proficiency.

With my students, I work on
1) listening comprehension,
2) correct pronunciation,
3) reading comprehension,
4) expansion of vocabulary,
5) learning grammar,
6) elimination of letter-by-letter reading,
7) mirror writing (N-И, R-Я) (with children).

I am an extreme opponent of cramming and learning something that is not useful to you in everyday life and day-to-day conversations. That is why I always rely on material that is relevant to real life and real communication.

About my lessons:
- creative plans,
- boundless energy,
- friendly atmosphere,
- inspiration,
- my strong belief in your potential.

I will help you to fall in love with Russian and to make progress day by day 😊
