DIY skills are very vital especially when you have a certain budget to adhere to after you consult your nearest Home Depot or Brico and find out that quotation cost and estimations are quite expensive! With my assistance you could cut cost and get your home or renovations done in your own unique time, pace, style, budget and taste especially in the era of DIY! I could either assist you or take charge...the ball is in your court!
The aforementioned categories are vital in everyday routine especially for naturally timid and introverted professional aspirant in public speaking, debates, announcements, storytelling, speeches. To reach certain efficiency professionally in terms of intonations, pitch, range, eloquence, fluidity, stress patterns, vocal exercise, flexible volume, uninterrupted flow, suspenseful pause, voice partitioning, etc., even for non-beginners, one needs the right set of assistance...and am excellent at all of the above! Focus is to learn and enhance skills in story-telling smoothness, speech making competences and public speaking proficiency with ease. Beginners and intermediate are welcome...no one should ever relent from learning and acquiring new set of skills or enhancement!

Corinne
English: pronunciation (British or American). No grammar lessons. Adults only.
I have facilitated workshops and given classes throughout my career all over the world. English pronunciation is essential these days because English is spoken everywhere and all the time. I followed specialized training such as the verb tonal method, Feldenkrais or mental coaching. We are therefore going to work in a slightly different way by combining articulatory techniques, movement, rhythm, intonation, warming up of the jaw and tongue, stretching of the neck, neck and shoulders to arrive to very fast results.

Elisa
English - learn by doing (from perfecting the language to teaching the basics to upgrading)
In the case of tutoring, I base my lessons on the subject seen by the student by explaining to him in another way with many examples and by making him practice as much as possible. In case of learning the basics, I have set up my own totally interactive method so that the student can practice and during which I speak almost only in English to be close to immersion during the lessons. Do not hesitate to contact me for: - learn the basics - prepare for a test - have support for your lessons - practice the language - ... Whatever your needs, I take a practical and fun approach to English because, in my opinion, it is the best way to learn.

Fariël
French, English, German or Dutch online classes (writing, speaking...)
Hi I'm Fariël. I have been learning English and French since I was 10 years old. And German since I was 15 years old. I participated in languages camps for French and English and have spent several months abroad in international schools with host families. I also went 1 year abroad to focus on languages. I went to school in Berlin, Paris and Bristol. I studied my bachelor in French (C2~mother tongue language) in Switzerland and graduated with 2 EF diplomas: English (C2~mother tongue language) and German (B2). In the first lesson, we will discuss on what you want to focus (whether it is pronunciation, grammatic, vocabulary...). I will test your level by just having a conversation and then we will find the best way for you to learn the language.

English Tutoring for Comfort at Work and to Pass Exams
I specialise in tutoring English for European Union professional exams (e.g., AST - AD promotion exams and 'retour' interpretation exams), for other exams (SAT, GMAT, GRE, FCE, CAE, CPE, IELTS. TOEFL), for thesis submission, and for other professional work, particularly English for auditors, legal, financial and ambassadorial advisors, business people, project managers, salespeople, physicians, scientists, and academic students. All courses are individually tailored to the student's needs and students are invited to supply their own materials from work. Courses usually focus on passing an exam or on achieving a sense being able to work comfortably in English with native or non-native English speakers.
