About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am American but I live in the south of France near Toulouse. I have lived in France for over 20 years. I have 3 children and a dog. I am also a singer and songwriter. I'm not in a band at the moment, so I love doing karaoke.
-I can teach English
- travel and basic to intermediate French
-mentor musicians and singers who are not native English speakers and who wish to improve their singing and songwriting in English.
-I am a coach for children, adolescents and life coach. For children/teens, this is to support and encourage you when you feel different and are going through a difficult time, not for academic coaching. Adults are asking for my website.
I look forward to working with you in whatever way you want, cheers!
Are you planning a trip to France? Do you need some practical phase to get around airports, hotels, restaurants, beaches, ski resorts? Do you need help understanding cultural differences and customs? Would you like to sound less anglosaxon as to avoid the snooty, confused looks? Would you like some great places to visit that are less known than typical travel packages? Well, I'm the one stop shop. I fell in love with France when I did junior high exchange, majored in French in College, and I've been living here for over 20 years. Here, I'm an English teacher but since I've lived here I'm fluent in French, and in the French ;). - I can guide you with the language and grammar with some basic, useful vocabulary and phrases. - We'll practice asking questions which is vital for travelling and life in general. -I'll give you some pronunciation tips. -We'll do some role plays and listening comprehension. -I could also make some good suggestions for off the beaten track places to see and visit.
No matter what level, or what age, learning a language, especially English is going to serve you. My approach to teaching is interactive and I'd like to stress that what you get out of it, so improving, will depend on your implication. Your effort and positivity will pay off in the long run. I've even written 3 ebook workbooks to accompany you, if you'd like. I adapt to your needs, but I've found that the biggest lack is with the tenses and vocabulary. Listening comp and pronunciation are a closed second (and they're connected:) As you actively apply what you learn, you'll grow in confidence while having fun. I can also help with your CV, cover letters, interviews in English, or presentations.

Singing lessons with an italian lyric-coloratura soprano. From opera to modern and pop. (Masters degree in singing with honours, cum Laude)
My classes are different depending on your level and age. With children from 7 to 12, we start by doing easy vocalization and start training the ear with intonation, we then have fun singing your favorite songs. With teenagers, I also start with some vocalization, a little more elaborate. Depending on the student's capabilities, we start establishing a comfortable range for them and then proceed to singing. For my older students ideally, I divide our lesson into 2 sections. We work on respiration and how the diaphragm works. We do scales and arpeggios and work on intonation. We then proceed to singing and putting into practice our technique. Some students might need more technique before they actually sing, I like to take things slowly and make sure the student feels confident and comfortable singing. I teach children, teenagers, and adults, from beginners to more advanced. Classical training enables you to sing in any kind of way, so don’t hesitate and let’s sing!

✅COACHING / MANAGEMENT CONSULTING / COMMUNICATION WITHIN MARITAL / COUPLE & FAMILY RELATIONS
In our imagination, nourished by our education and our conditioning, we all believed one day that once married, having founded our family, we will realize our dream. Before taking the leap, we all idealize this life, and the stronger our hope, the stronger the awakening to the reality of life would probably be. Indeed, family life is another experience, a challenge and a process during which we learn a lot about ourselves, about the other and about the relationship. By choosing the right mediator, family and married life can therefore be a great opportunity to grow (sometimes in pain, in joy). Among the possible accompaniments, some examples: - The basics of a solid and fulfilled married or family life - How to resolve disagreements - The secrets of a balanced and balancing child education - Learn to express emotions - Manage families and in-laws - How to take your place within the couple - Define the respective roles of each Among the techniques used: - Non-violent communication tools - The “helping relationship” which aims to support people in crisis or conflict situations and help them resolve dysfunctions (emotional, relational difficulties, repetition of scenarios, lack of self-confidence, etc.) . It also leads to better self-knowledge and guides the person to discover their own solutions. The practitioner in helping relationship through his attentive and neutral listening, his training, his personality, his presence, his availability will allow the consultant to progress towards a better knowledge of his psychological mechanisms, respecting his blockages, his rhythm and his ability to hear. The therapist takes into account the subject as a whole: physical, psychological and social. Allow the consultant to access autonomy so that he can, when he feels ready, walk alone, in all inner serenity. - Coaching that allows you to act and take responsibility, which is the basis of effective and lasting change. Work on the management of emotions and relationships, confidence and self-esteem, self-affirmation is at the center of individual support, which allows you to live more fulfilled and authentic relationships. - Love coaching, which is personalized support based on understanding the mechanisms of love and focusing on putting an individual in this disposition of openness and acceptance of the other and their difference (which prepares to receive love) and to transfer keys of understanding to gain emotional maturity. It allows you to obtain concrete and measurable results in your love life. Through coaching, the consultant becomes aware of his resources, optimizes his potential and transforms his life. - Brief marital and family therapy. She is interested in how the problems manifest themselves in the present but the personal history of each is also approached. This insight helps to better understand the events experienced and to make connections between the past and what is at stake in the current difficulties. We introduce changes in behavior to open up perspectives, mainly relational. - Sophrology. Sophrology is a gentle method that promotes relaxation of the body and mind where you relearn how to listen to your feelings using controlled breathing exercises, muscle relaxation and mental suggestions. It allows you to develop your potential, regain self-confidence, manage your emotions and achieve your goals. It will be, at times, interesting to use this technique to manage to unblock the mind that is blocking and to give the body more amplitude to welcome what presents itself. ➤ THE COACH PSYCHOANALYST PSYCHOPRACTITIONER Trained at the Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League University in the United States, our psychoanalyst, psycho-practitioner and behaviorist coach has specialized and worked for more than 15 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. ➤ PLACE, TIMETABLE, PRICES ✓ Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Fribourg-Zurich-Neuchâtel-Lugano-Montreux-Basel-Neuchâtel-Bern-Lucerne-Brussels-Luxembourg-Paris-Lyon.
