About Me
I'm a PhD candidate in neuropsycholinguistics and consultant to private clients. My advisory clients include the House of Lords, the NHS, People Primetime International, the Manchester Metropolitan University, Falmouth University, the Emotional Intelligence Academy, the YMCA, the Y Club, the Castelfield Hotel, the National Citizenship Service, Equal Education, etc. My mentoring clients range pre-academic, academic, and professional contexts. My PhD research examines the composite language and communication phenomena of schizophrenia, as relative to figurative language processing, using experimental psycholinguistic methods; my master's dissertation focused on paralinguistics: blended displays (i.e. complex facial expressions) of emotion; and my bachelor's took the form of a stylistics combined honours (i.e. linguistics with creative writing). My vocational experience includes a substantive clinical education post within NHS psychiatric services—specifically, as an interpersonal communications tutor; in parallel, I've provided consultancy services since 2011.Education

COPYWRITER, ADVERTISING EDITOR, DESIGNER-EDITOR: PROMOTING YOUR CONTENT TO OFFER IT BETTER
Copywriting is the art of selling with words. In short, it's written marketing. Concretely, a copywriter (or copywriter) writes content tailored for the sale of a product or service.
And precisely, it is either:
- to offer you concrete techniques, a clear methodology and pragmatic tools to learn how to write quality content yourself for your own needs
- or precisely to help you directly to enhance the content of your product and design a text, a letter, a catchphrase, a slogan, write marketing files, press releases, a web page, blog posts, advertising banners and newsletters (…) in a powerful and optimal way. Choose the appropriate terms and format them in order to convey an idea, a message, in the most relevant, effective and persuasive way possible.
So, how to write writings highlighting a brand, a product, a person or quite simply a company... in order to promote it and so that it can gain visibility?
This is why, to help you on the one hand, to create strong, attractive and synthetic messages but also on the other hand, to teach you how to do it by yourself, it will be a question of precisely understanding your need, your product, your strategy, the values you wish to convey (…). Objective: be creative enough to capture the attention of your audience and inspire readers.
With reusable writing, making your communication profitable, increasing your notoriety and achieving your objectives (…) allows you to make a lasting impression over time. Because always keep in mind that the writing remains.
Develop your visual approach, compare the coherence of the text with the guideline but also the coherence of the idea with the graphic concept: it is also a question of assuming the tasks of coordination.
If you also wish to train yourself to write other content yourself, the training can include the deepening of writing skills to give personality to your texts, the development of ideas, concepts and their implementation, creativity / presentation techniques … all anchored in practical exercises and scenarios.
➤ THE COPYWRITER TRAINER
Trained at the Grande Ecole post-European preparatory classes & Ivy League University in the United States, our teacher has specialized and worked for more than 17 years, in Europe and North America, in the field. On the one hand as a copywriter then as director of communication / advertising agencies. On the other hand, as a trainer in this field in renowned public and private international establishments, speaking in forums and conferences.
➤ PLACE, TIMETABLE, PRICES

But currently, these sessions continue to be offered by videoconference in the current context and in accordance with general demand which is almost unanimous on this subject.
✓ Indeed, apart from the classic advantages of videoconferencing (time saving related to travel & their unforeseen events, eco-responsibility, increased schedule flexibility, etc.), the quality of the session & the interaction remain identical. In addition, the entire exchange, notes and recommendations are immediately transcribed on the dedicated chat.
✓ To support us among ourselves & to be pleasant to you in this sustainable / particular period and in a spirit of solidarity, the fees are temporarily reduced and will not increase after the start of our sessions. The rate offered is not a corporate rate and does not allow the delivery of invoices to companies that request it.

English as a Second Language lower intermediate to Business English.
English has become the lingua franca of much of the world and has become hugely important in the IT world.
I have dealt with mostly teenagers and young adults over the years preparing for exams or in summer schools but I now prefer to concentrate on business, and conversational English.
Having recently completed the CELTA training (entirely on line with real students from Japan to Brazil) I like to follow a structured approach to lessons and have become very adept at using Zoom to teach with, though I am rather looking forward to get back into the classroom and teach in person.

Learn Business English for Better Communication and Confidence
Do you wish to be a better communicator with your international colleagues and peers?
Do you dread that presentation or conference that you have been asked to head?
Are you hoping for promotion or even a career change?
Or, do you simply wish to become more confident overall - in the office as well as professional social settings?
I can help you achieve this.
You will follow and be guided through professional lesson plans that follow a structure of vocabulary building, reading (out loud), comprehension and discussion. Occasionally they may come with an additional audio or video file to enhance your listening skills.
Conversation - both business and general, is a key focus focus, so making full answers is very much encouraged. We always share a two-way conversation or a few conversations, stating our views and opinions.
I correct both verbally and within the Skype chat panel so that you can see as well as hear the correction. I also want you to ask as many questions as necessary about the lesson as a whole or about the exercises posed. Communication is very important for without it I cannot properly help you.
