Lara - San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Spain£14
£14Creation of animated characters, storytelling and Illustration
Trusted teacher: Would you like to be able to illustrate the worlds and stories you imagine? Do you want to learn how to create characters for a video game, animation, children's story, comic or in any format? Or would you like to be able to draw your favorite characters? If you have those concerns, I would love to help you. I like to focus the classes in such a way that the current drawing level of the student is not what is important. The room for improvement will always evolve. I like to take my classes towards character design, towards general things like the psychology of color and shapes, since they are assimilable and highly useful concepts, independent of the level of drawing. For this reason, my classes are aimed at all ages and drawing levels. I also try to focus them on the preferences and tastes of each student, showing them that everything they like, they like for a reason, that nothing is left to chance and that they can also understand how to make their drawings reflect what they want to convey. Even to create your portfolios or visual information for your own project or story. I give private classes with students from different parts of the world, so many of my classes I have been able to do in both English and French. I studied 2D animation in France, and thanks to this training, my work has been nourished by dynamism, storytelling, expressiveness, typical of this medium, as well as the sensitivity for color and shapes that I usually use to infuse a unique style both to my original designs as well as my fanarts.

Pauline - Chevreuse, France£47
£47Public Speaking (children / adults - amateurs - professionals)
Trusted teacher: Public Speaking - This course offers training in public speaking, communication, oral expression, podcast recording, and preparing a speech or lecture, a presentation, or a dissertation. ————————— The basis of the courses is ideally divided into 5 parts. (If there is only one course, all the subjects can be mentioned but not developed.) Rates are per person. If there are several participants, contact me for a group rate. ————————— ADULTS & SENIORS - Business executives, politicians or simply shy people can learn how to "dare" to speak in public, be heard, understood and regain self-confidence or professional efficiency. COLLEGE AND HIGH SCHOOL - 10 to 17 years old - Preparation for the grand oral brevet and baccalaureate exam through improvisation on the one hand and the requirement of declamation on the other. For an exam, a better dialogue, to express oneself, to debate or simply to argue for the pleasure of the oratorical joust... Students, teachers, individuals, professionals... come and discover the pleasure of public speaking, the joy of expressing your ideas clearly, the art of speaking to be better understood and goodbye to glossophobia! (More than 70% of us suffer from "glossophobia", fear of speaking in public) Come learn public speaking. Perfect your writing of a text to be spoken. Learn the art of gesture to complement that of words and verve and brilliance will be within your reach! CHILDREN - 7 to 10 years old - This course can help a child find a little more self-confidence and understand some of the mechanisms of speaking. In this case, more playful techniques such as improvisation, theatre and drawing will be used... The psychological part of this course is even more important than for adolescents and adults, because children's emotions are more difficult to manage and their attention span must be limited. GOOD TO KNOW: Eloquence – From the Latin eloquentia, from eloqui, to express oneself 'It is the art of speaking well, that is to say, of acting through words on an audience, of convincing them through argumentation, but also through emotion.' Alain BRUNN: former student of the École normale supérieure, agrégé of modern literature, University of Paris-III-Sorbonne nouvelle "It is not eloquence that is born of rhetoric, but rhetoric that is born of eloquence" (Cicero -De oratore, XXXIII, 146)

Yu - Amsterdam, Netherlands£23
£23Click the Chinese language and Asian culture on/off-line with the help of an articulate and humorous native!
Trusted teacher: Hey, I am Yu. Nice to meet you. This lesson can help you set out to learn how to speak Hanyu, read, and write Zhongwen. For this purpose, you will study the Chinese alphabet (Hanyu Pinyin), characters(Hanzi), vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, and common words and phrases. If you want to learn the Chinese language, you've found the right class! Course materials can be: -Standard Course HSK (for language ability test) -Experiencing Chinese (for immersive classes) -Learn Chinese with me (for schoolchildren and teenagers) -AP Chinese -....... -any tailor-made materials that interest you This course is designed in three versions for different kinds of participants: 1) A Beginner! - Have little or no prior knowledge of the Chinese language; - Want to learn how to make yourself understood in Chinese when traveling, for example, understanding and speaking common everyday words (and sentences) in different typical scenarios ; - Hope to express 1-10 and some larger numbers in China in speech or by gesture decently. *Some examples at this stage: - Hello! Thank you. How are you? - Sorry. / You're welcome! - I can speak Chinese! What's your name? - What's the date today? What's the time now? - I'd like a cup of coffee. Is this seat free? - (and other current Chinese usages in any scenarios you're interested in! ) **Naturally, pronunciation and the four vowel tones are an important part of the lessons, but participants also learn the principles of Chinese writing and gain an understanding of Chinese culture! 2) An Intermediate Learner - Have upper-intermediate knowledge of Chinese; - Need to increasingly enhance our active language skills, to expand your vocabulary, practice reading without Pinyin, and master more advanced grammar and fixed structures to be able to make longer sentences; - Interest yourself in being able to express your views on common everyday topics, like foods, drinks, gifts, weather, Chinese habits, and common practice. 3) An Advanced Learner - Can speak and understand Chinese reasonably well; - Attempt to deepen your understanding of Chinese culture and learn more advanced grammatical constructs to communicate more specific and complex ideas in Chinese, both verbally and in writing; - Focus on topics dealt with leisure and hobbies, hospitality, culture, arts, poetry, history, dynasties and civilization, of modern and ancient China. ***I have lived in China for over twenty years, traveled to many cites (including Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Hongkong, Macau, and so on), and have been educated at respected schools and universities. Currently, I am studying Social Sciences in the Netherlands and I am a fan of Chinese literature/Japanese anime/Marvel films, so it's also welcome that you would like to have an informative and interesting talk in Chinese about these topics. +China captures the imagination with its fascinating contrasts. A modern-day global economic entity that proudly upholds ancient traditions. Definitely, a good way to start learning more about China is by taking Chinese!

Tania

rating green star
I am in the process of looking for a new job in the public/corporate sector as an economist, and on this occasion, I thought I'd get advice from an expert coach to review my CV and cover letter. Among the many available tutors, I chose to work online with Tania. Initially, this decision was based on her detailed presentation and our initial conversation. I felt that she was the right choice for me. I was right. Tania is an extremely prepared professional coach able to guide you along the various steps needed to write professional CVs and cover letters aligned to each specific job description. Tania is a "gold mine" in terms of information and suggestions, very patient, empathetic, and clearly passionate about developing others and creating successful outcomes. I highly recommend her.

Loreta A.
rating star
rating green star
I reached out to Loreta because I had to learn a long list of topics in chemistry in order to prepare myself for university, in a relatively short period of time of being only about half a year. Loreta was able to prepare classes for me that not only made it easy for me to understand, but they contained everything I needed and whenever I had issues with something that I didn't understand, she was really helpful and patient with me. She was an awesome teacher for the short period of time she helped me, she made the classes fun and I think if I had a teacher like her in highschool I would've had a much easier time preparing for uni :) Overall I had a great experience with her and I can't recommend her enough

I AM A WOLOF TEACHER. LEARN AND SPEAK WOLOF EASILY WITH ME.
Dembane
rating star
rating green star
Very clear as to what his teaching methods and goals are, how he'll help you get there - then jumps right in and gets you started with no fuss. I found myself speaking sentences in Wolof by the end of the lesson, and really appreciate the additional written material he supplied as well. As someone who has taught and learned various other languages I can tell that Dembane has a really sound methodology. I'll add to this review in a few months time, but so far I am impressed. Also glad that he is pointing out regional differences between Senegal and Gambia usage to me, as it's relevant to my learning needs. He does personalise the content for the individual student, which is good to see.
