Great teacher! An easy going person with all the necessary qualities to make the lessons effective. He has pockets full of learning tricks. Conversations and real life examples really help improve the learning process. I highly recommend!
My first lesson with Hugh was nice. He is a great teacher in English! I would like to become more confident while I am speaking English and Hugh is the right person/teacher to achieve my goal:)
Hugh is a teacher unlike anything I have ever experienced. He positively surprised me several times. The way of teaching is very impressive. From the first moment I felt at ease. I was quite insecure about my English language but Hugh helped me completely. In addition to improving my English language, Hugh has also taught me some great life lessons. What sets Hugh apart is not just his knowledge but his ability to connect with the student. His approachability and genuine concern for my understanding have created an atmosphere where I felt valued and encouraged. In addition, he was a fascinating motivator and a great source of inspiration, the perfect example of what an English teacher should be. It is clear that he has a lot of experience in everything that has to do with teaching. After every lesson I went home with a very good feeling. His teaching style is very excellent! I can highly recommend Hugh! I feel privileged to have had Hugh as my teacher, and I am grateful for the positive influence he had in improving my English language. Thank you Hugh, your dedication for me have not gone unnoticed and are deeply appreciated! Blue Skies!
Patient, educational and with humor!

✅ INDIVIDUAL & PERSONALIZED COACHING IN SEDUCTION & LOVERS (DESIGNED FOR WOMEN & MEN): OVERCOME YOUR BLOCKAGES
► Overcome blockages, better understand the functioning of the other, integrate tools / techniques / methods / know-how / key phrases to approach and / or respond to the other, then start / build / maintain a relationship, all while leaving room for the essential spontaneity & naturalness ► These sessions will therefore combine two indivisible aspects: ➤ It's all about getting to know each other better (what you like or appreciate less about the other based on your past experience) by analyzing situations together in a thorough and pragmatic way. Indeed, this step is essential in order not to orient towards / "tackle" a pre-established model, but to adapt everything to everyone. ➤ In parallel, from the first session, and this is what naturally differs from a classic psychotherapy session: once the key points are better understood / assimilated, and the objectives gradually defined, tackle them, with scenarios concrete, based on your daily life / your experience, the art of seduction and the construction / possibly stabilization of love. ► These sessions could, for example, deal with how: ➤ Approach or respond to those we like then get into a relationship & build together, which implies self-confidence, avoiding the “friend zone”, taking action in one's sex life & rightly seized opportunities in his social circle. ➤ To be able to approach his interlocutor with finesse, while remaining positive, assertive & by communicating his desire, with a touch of subtlety & play ➤ Have original, light, funny & above all authentic conversations, using the emotional lift as a springboard ➤ Whether it is about “street approaches”, or in a professional or personal context, the objective being to no longer let the vagaries of fate take over & take one's life in hand by choosing action ► My mission: to help you understand, analyze then take action, while gaining self-confidence & acting in order to no longer be limited by your beliefs. Everyone should be able to take the time to choose the person they feel good with before rushing into a stable relationship. ► So, apprehension, shyness, missed opportunities, eternal “friend” status, fear of ridicule, rejection or emptiness? With this personalized coaching, the objective is to redirect the approach and acquire the technique, without ever leaving aside spontaneity. From the first contact, to the social network (tinder, bumble, social networks...) through the first meeting, until the finalization & sustainability, depending on your objective. ➤ It is about creating a certain number of opportunities with the people you like, approaching with confidence without being “friendzoned”, increasing the opportunities to meet people not without elegance / humor & seduction and without losing their authenticity ➤ The sessions will address preparation (gradually gaining confidence); the art of conversation; anti-friendzone appeal; actions and feedback to gain self-confidence (...). ➤ If the discretion and confidentiality of the coach are essential, it is therefore a matter of offering a tailor-made program / training, following an initial "diagnosis". ➤ Objective: regain confidence and attract his attention while making him want to see you again / maintain your existing relationship, understand the key elements of the other's psychology (...). As mentioned above, the practical exercises and scenarios allow to relay the theory. ➤ With simulations and scenarios, your seduction coach turns into a wingman to observe the implementation, suggest readjustments and showcase you ➤ Strengthen your charisma to unlock your potential for seduction ➤ Objective here again: to introduce concrete techniques / methods which make it possible to communicate easily, in a fluid, efficient and always natural way, while mastering situations. ➤ Non-verbal language, sexualization and avoidance of the friend zone, lifestyle, improvisation/repartee (...): the objective being to demystify these themes in theory and in practice. Concretely, ONE SESSION = SOLUTIONS / proposals / concrete suggestions to put into practice for the following session in order to overcome its blockages. Note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed in the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish. THE COACH Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League University in the United States, our behavioral trainer teacher has specialized and worked for more than 18 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, regularly speaking in forums and conferences, and also offering personalized INDIVIDUAL support, with pedagogy and careful methodology as its watchwords, all anchored in a pleasant and jovial moment. ➤ PLACE, TIMETABLE, PRICES ✓ Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Fribourg-Zurich-Neuchâtel-Lugano-Montreux-Basel-Neuchâtel-Bern-Lucerne-Brussels-Luxembourg-Paris-Lyon. 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. ✓ Languages: French/English. ✓ The progress following these private sessions is perceptible from 1 to 2 sessions (*2024 study). ✓ As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round.

Conversational English and IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, SAT preparation.
A certified English Teacher| Master’s degree| Started teaching 9 years ago| Taught all ages and levels| Specializing in Conversational English| IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, SAT preparation. My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also have to make sure that the learner is not running in a circle. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation. In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves: • Improving their grammar. • Fixing their pronunciation. • Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms. By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently. PS: Currently, I’m working on my PhD thesis in English literature. Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.
