About Me

I am a friendly, God-fearing, and outgoing French expert with a deep passion for teaching, translation, interpretation, customer service, and other language-related services. I am equally skilled in the field of information technology, which complements my work as a teacher and administrator. My strong communication skills have enabled me to build and maintain positive relationships with students, colleagues, and clients across different institutions. I thrive in diverse environments and enjoy working with learners of all ages and levels, from beginners to advanced. My approach to teaching is student-centered, aiming not only at language mastery but also at cultural appreciation and practical application. I believe in creating an engaging, supportive, and motivating classroom atmosphere where learners feel encouraged to achieve their best. I am dedicated to lifelong learning and continuous personal growth, which fuels my desire to help others reach their goals in language and professional development.

Education

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in French with IT from Maseno University (2016–2020), where I specialized in key areas such as translation and interpretation, French in business, diplomacy and international relations, and advanced IT applications. My studies provided me with both linguistic expertise and technical proficiency, allowing me to combine language skills with information technology in my career. During my university years, I gained strong foundations in research methods, project management, and professional communication, all of which shaped me into a versatile professional. My academic background also enabled me to explore the intersection of languages and global affairs, preparing me for teaching, international communication, and cultural exchange. This balance of language mastery and IT competence has been instrumental in my teaching career, where I not only train students in French, English, and Swahili, but also guide them in the use of digital tools for learning, research, and communication.

Experience / Qualifications

I have over five years of professional experience teaching French, English, and Swahili across different levels and institutions. I currently serve as a teacher of French at the International Jaamia of Languages and Professional Studies, where I train students in language mastery, exam preparation (DELF, TEF, TCF, Cambridge), and cultural competence. I also design training materials, supervise exams, and coordinate institutional events. Previously, I worked at the Kenya Institute of Foreign Languages and Professional Studies as a part-time tutor, where I gained hands-on experience in curriculum development, translation, IT support, and student welfare management. In addition to teaching, I have served as a dean of students, front office manager, and IT expert—roles that enhanced my leadership, organizational, and customer service skills. I am fluent in French, English, and Swahili, with strong administrative, communication, and project management abilities, making me a well-rounded educator committed to empowering learners and institutions alike.

Whether your goal is personal or professional, speaking is a predominantly physical activity, relying on a body, a voice, a breath, a rhythm (diction) and an emotion (the imagination and the sensations, reflecting the involvement of the speaker in his speech.

How to send a clear message? How to make the difference, to make an impression? How to regain self-confidence and control the management of his emotions?

Knowing how to speak in public is now a necessity for the company and in the company. From a personal point of view, this is a vector for better relationships and optimal messages. On the phone, in a meeting, in front of a client or a banker (...), your public speaking must be effective and efficient with clear, simple and powerful messages, creating a match between the message received and the message sent.

Simple and pragmatic tools will be presented and then put into practice for: generating listening ● making an impression ● fostering trust ● generating need ● motivating teams by explaining a strategy ● getting messages across within groups.

Controlled, the method allows:

• improve self-confidence and stress management with the development of the speaker's fluency (verbal-bodily), his public speaking and his sense of repartee and improvisation

• to work on his ease, leadership, his NLP, his charisma, his creativity and to go towards a certain personal development, through a set of scenarios

* improve the characteristics of the spoken voice (timbre, pitch, intention, flow)

Completed by basic exercises (diction, voice, presence, breathing, presentation, time management ...), role plays, improvisations and simulations will be set up.

With the key words: pronunciation, rhetoric, verbal and non-verbal communication, diction / articulation, the sense of repartee, structured speech (...).

The goal is not only to focus on verbal communication but also on nonverbal communication, so as to make the control of his body, his voice (...), a real and lasting strength.

Depending on the interaction between the trainer - coach and the one who consults, there is no single way to operate: each type of session depends on the needs and difficulties of each.

In all cases, it is very often a question, while adapting to your own needs and after having precisely diagnosed your desired objective and the blockages encountered, to combine the theory (the bases of the studied concept, for example NLP / information asymmetry / the "how to say no" / the tools of non-verbal communication or the application of kinaesthesia) and its application (through exercises and direct applications).

For example, are discussed:

- the fundamentals of public speaking: breathing, gaze and body language

- diction and elocution: rhythm and range of your voice - management of your emotions and your emotional overflow (example: stress) - work on the body, to amplify your charisma and ensure consistency between your message and your body ... with the aim of:

* Enhance your presentation and arouse interest by focusing on your strengths, your qualities ... your personality

* Match the content and form of your message

* Improve your charisma, your self-confidence and the benefits of your emotional intelligence

Postgraduate School Training & Ivy league college in the United States, specialized and worked for over 13 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication and public speaking in renowned public and private international institutions, involved in forums and conferences, and focused on two areas: training and coaching, with the key words pedagogy and careful methodology.

PLACES
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of live (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: notes that can be re-read on the chat). In this context, the videoconference sessions for which you asked me to seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place very optimally and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. Take good care of yourself and yours!

PROGRAM
A la carte program: evaluated and adapted to each need.

Lesson: Iranian culture, traditions and expressions
Goal of the lesson

In this lesson, students are introduced to important elements of Iranian culture. They learn to understand and use typical traditions, forms of politeness, and commonly used Persian expressions. After all, learning a language without culture is like reading the manual for a device you have never seen. You know the buttons, but not why everyone suddenly offers tea as soon as you enter.

Part 1: Introduction to Iranian culture
Part 2: Important traditions
Part 3: Taarof - Iranian culture of politeness
Part 4: Frequently used Persian expressions

Russian is a fascinating and widely spoken language. In this course, you will learn the basics step by step – from the Cyrillic alphabet to simple everyday conversations.
I am a native speaker myself and have always had a great interest in languages and intercultural exchange. I have lived in Germany for over five years, so I can also explain the lessons in German or English. Nevertheless, it is best to learn as much as possible directly in Russian in order to make faster progress.
The course is simply structured and particularly well-suited for beginners. You will learn to introduce yourself, speak short sentences, and master typical everyday situations in Russian. We practice reading, writing, pronunciation, and the most important grammar rules in an understandable and practical way.
My course is open to children, teenagers, and adults interested in Russian language and culture. I have prior experience teaching children—both in schools and kindergartens, where I worked as a babysitter. In these roles, I helped children become familiar with the Russian language and develop their language skills through play, enabling them to retain these abilities in the future.
