This is your opportunity to hear about different options, discuss your thoughts, and maybe gain some appreciation for the view and experiences the scenic route can provide!
I will talk about my experiences from A-levels, Undergraduate, Masters, industry/corporate and PhD (current) and then discuss with you your thoughts, concerns or questions.

About Me
My approach to tutoring is all about sharing knowledge in a way that feels motivating, engaging, and tailored to you. I have a deep respect for students who take the initiative to learn beyond the classroom, and that respect will show in the way I teach. Whether you’re looking for clarity on tricky concepts, aiming to get ahead, or just need someone who truly listens and adapts to your learning style, I’m here to help.I work best with students who are curious, open-minded, and ready to put in the effort. You don’t have to be a straight-A student—just someone who’s willing to show up and try. If you're serious about improving, I’ll match that energy with patience, encouragement, and strategies that make learning click.

TRAINING TO EMBODY EFFECTIVE MANAGERIAL COMMUNICATION IN THE PROFESSIONAL FRAMEWORK➤ Being a good manager is also being a good communicator. After all, a strategy can only be put into practice if you show yourself capable of interacting with your employees, of being a source of inspiration for them and of listening to their concerns. Unfortunately, not all managers naturally excel in this role and their difficulties in asserting themselves as true leaders is often attributable to their difficulties in communicating.
➤ The objective would then be to explore together the areas of improvement in terms of communication know-how. And managing effectively requires specific and advanced know-how.
➤ In fact, managerial communication corresponds to the interactions between the management of the company and the organization and more specifically, between the manager and his team. This executive is in charge of transmitting information and directives from higher hierarchical levels, supporting internal communication, distilling messages related to his own management to obtain the commitment of his team, all while transmitting a message effectively.
➤ This exercise can therefore be tricky: this is why it is important to choose the right mediator in order to be well supported, not only to be understood by those around him, but also to carry out his mission.
➤ What to communicate? When ? Whose ? These questions will find an answer in the consistency of the actions undertaken. Good managerial communication will thus aim to exchange / dialogue effectively with its employees, maintain a close link between the different layers of the company, bring human relations back to the heart of the company, establish a climate of trust and good team cohesion, motivate by inspiring.
➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practice exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live), so that you can put them into practice immediately, and this from the 1st session.
Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 or 3 sessions *. (* study 2020).
➤ THE TRAINER:
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication , in reputable international public and private establishments, intervening in forums and conferences, and oriented on two axes: training and coaching, with pedagogy and careful methodology as key words.
