Very professional, pleasant and adaptable. Thank you Justin !
I greatly enjoy the lessons with Justin. He brings both linguistic expertise and a similar scientific background. This helps in discussing more complex topics, acquiring an appropriate academic vocabulary, and preparing for presentations or workshop participation. Additionally, Justin is very flexible with scheduling. He is willing to help with urgent questions on short notice. Communication with him is quick and straightforward.
Thank you very much Justin! A coach with a lot of patience, precision and flexibility. Particularly for French speakers, because with his years in Belgium, Justin knows our problems in English well ;)

Political Communication, Public Speaking and Presentation
The course module is adapted to the student. The summary will be communicated during the first lesson. I teach you to speak and/or write with an approach to the sciences of political communication, international relations, social and human sciences while convincing the person(s) in front of you with several negotiation techniques. ▪️ The techniques used will improve your level of confidence in your public presentations and storytelling. ▪️ Political communication is about the creation and exchange of ideas and opinions between citizens, public officials, political institutions, and related entities, such as the media. It includes discourse throughout the political process in local, state, national, and international political systems, as well as how political information can be exploited for political ends or to achieve political goals. People with a background in political communication may work in policy advice, foreign service, market research, public relations, journalism, and digital media, community organizing, lobbying, political campaigning, or other related fields. ▪️ BUT! in order to achieve your goal you must master public speaking which is the process or act of giving a speech in front of a live audience. Public speaking is generally understood to be formal, face to face, speaking from a single person to a group of listeners.

I had the chance to work for two years at the Lycée Français Jean Monnet in Brussels, where I acquired solid experience with students of all ages and a good understanding of the expectations of the school system.

Private lessons in French, History-Geography, Spanish and English
-Student in first year of master's degree in specialization on the Middle Ages, I give private lessons for three years in a range of age from 10 to 16 years. -I seek to explore alternative pedagogies, to awaken and help students with cultural elements. Quiet and patient, I always try to accompany the student and push him to look for himself the information he does not remember, and I do not promote the internet. -For French classes, I encourage the progress of work around the common reading of a book, in order to encourage the student in reading, improving vocabulary and spelling -For language work, I favor orality because most young people do not speak enough in class and have problems with listening comprehension -I do not give any homework, except when the student has not done what he had to do during the session: You must be able to finish everything you have started
