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.

Amélie
I am a Belgian (Flemish) and French student with a Masters in International Public Law (Amsterdam) and a Masters in Global development (University of Copenhagen). World traveler, I have lived in Thailand, Denmark, Greece, the Netherlands, US, Switzerland and many more countries, where I both dtudies and worked as a legal advisor.

I have been tutoring since 2017, both in person, in schools and online, since 2017, I have been working with around 250 students, located everywhere in the world! Here is an overview of my previous tutoring experience:

2022-Now:
Online tutoring on Apprentus, (approx 12h/week).

2023:
Tutor of Dutch at Varady Language school in Geneva

2021-2022:
I worked at "bijlesthuis," a Dutch tutoring institution, where I primarily taught French, Dutch, and English to adult learners seeking to improve their language skills. During the same period, I also provided classes to other students through Apprentus.

2021:
Through Apprentus and other websites, I assisted several younger students (ages 5-15) in Bern and Geneva, helping them improve their skills in subjects such as Maths and French.

2017-2020:
I worked for three years at a tutoring institution in Geneva called ARA, where I primarily taught French, Mathematics, and English.

During this time, I also spent two years working at a private school called Florimont, where I supported students aged 11-16 across various subjects by assisting them with their homework.

I can teach French, Dutch, and English, Spanish and in German, and I thoroughly enjoy teaching and assisting students in their progress and acquisition of new skills.

As a person, I am flexible, calm, and positive.

I am excited to meet you and look forward to working with you!

Do you want to improve your English, regain confidence, prepare for an exam or simply feel more comfortable speaking? I offer English lessons tailored to your level, your goals and your learning style.

I lived in the United Kingdom for 6 years, where I pursued my studies until obtaining a Master's degree in Glasgow in 2018. After several years of training and work in Glasgow and then London, I returned to Geneva in 2020. I continue to use English daily, both in my professional and personal life.

My priority is adapting to the individual I'm working with. I'm patient, a good listener, and a skilled teacher, and I strive to make learning concrete, accessible, and motivating. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method, I take the time to understand each student's needs and challenges in order to create a personalized learning plan.

I also know from experience that academic difficulties are not inevitable. During my own schooling in middle school and high school in Geneva, I encountered difficulties and worked with several tutors. This experience allowed me to "learn how to learn," to gain confidence, and to progress until I obtained my high school diploma with honors.

It is this experience that I like to pass on today: giving tools, restoring confidence and finding with each student the way that will allow them to progress.

Whether you are a beginner, wish to consolidate your basics, improve your oral and written expression or prepare for an academic or professional goal, we will define together a method adapted to your needs.
