Talk Like a Jamaican! - Jamaican Patwa (Patois) Lessons for All Ages and Stages
Jamaican Patwa (Patois) or Creole,is in the Heart and Soul of every Jamaican,or as we call each other, 'Yardie'.
It’s a colorful, vibrant and incredibly expressive language filled with a ton load of love and gut busting laughter!
IF you understand it that is. Truth is,unless you’re a yardie,related to them, or are in some way familiar enough with the dialect,it’s hardly something you can just readily pick up on. And the Patwa Hollywood tries to sell you in their movies? Don’t buy it. We always wonder who’s teaching them.
Learn from a real native and let’s have fun!
Maybe you’ve always wondered what that one Jamaican song you really like but can’t understand,said.
Is it that coworker that you know is really funny but you just can’t get what they’re saying?
Or perhaps you plan on traveling here someday and wanna be able to understand what the person trying to sell you something is saying (because believe me,someone will be trying to sell you something ). Doesn’t matter. I’m here to help make it make sense.
Come chat some Patwa wid me! =)

About Me
From the sunshine island of Jamaica.Lover of cheesecake,chocolate and all the good stuff in between!
I’ve been an online tutor for over 4 years,helping students to gain confidence and trust in their abilities and themselves. My true passion,though,is the opportunity create a warm,open,relaxed and friendly environment to whomever I’m interacting with.
Introvert and into it ;D
Photography lover with a wanderlust soul.
Know a hilarious movie? Share it! Laughing till my cheeks hurt is a favorite pass time.
Let’s get to know each other.
Education
Holy Childhood High School. Successful completions in English Language, Social Studies, Human and Social Biology, Religious Education and Business Administration.Experience / Qualifications
NVQJ in Business Administration / 4 + Years of online tutoring / Tutored all ages / Proficient in English Language / Currently completing TESOL certificate.Do you want to truly communicate with someone? Is there someone in your life who you’re looking to reach on a more personal level? Or perhaps you’re looking to be more open about yourself but you just don’t know how.
I struggled with this for a long time. I’d have conversation after conversation with friends,family members or even coworkers. Somehow,it seemed like the needs still weren’t being met on either side. Or worse yet,on their side but never mine. I yielded to this and settled with the expectation that this is obviously just how life goes,even if it’s frustrating. When I eventually did find my voice,the confidence was growing,but somehow it’s like I still wasn’t being heard.
That’s because I was talking,but never Communicating. And even when I did,it wasn’t being done effectively (believe me,there’s a huge difference).
Did it seem like I took a peek inside your head while you were reading this? Were you nodding along mentally?
It’s such a common struggle. And if you happen to be an introvert in a sea of loud voices,you likely know what it’s like to be drowned out a lot of the times. The thing is,a struggle like this can be a hold back to any kind of relationship that has the potential to thrive and flourish. But with the time and willingness to at least try,I can promise you from personal experience that it doesn’t have to be.
Communication is a powerful tool,it’s even been described as "the lifeblood of any healthy relationship".
But first,you gotta know HOW to do it. Are you communicating,or are you just talking? Is there a difference?
Let’s find out.
Let’s build bridges,
Let’s delve beyond words,
Let’s start somewhere,
Let’s Talk!

Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any levelHello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.
I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.
The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).
Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Conflict management & negotiation: communication support for effective and sustainable controlIt is a question of putting in place rational and professional tools to defuse conflicts and enter your comfort / security zone. In particular simple and logical techniques, which make it possible to resolve and manage violent situations in a harmonious, efficient and lasting way.
The objectives are:
0. Understand and identify the issues / risks then find a balance between empathy and conviction
1. Use interpersonal communication techniques resulting from mediation to defuse tensions and gain distance
2. Dissociate the relational and the nature of the disagreement - Overcome cognitive and psychological obstacles
3. Acquire the techniques of self-defense and mastery without hurting and being injured
4. Face and then defuse difficult behaviors (blackmail attempts, threats, destabilization) or even dangerous with a mediation strategy
5. Develop conflict management and negotiation skills by alternating attentive listening, active speaking and rationality in the face of the limited rationality of the angry individual.
Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 or 3 sessions *. (* study 2020)
Postgraduate School Training & Ivy league college in the United States, our teacher has specialized and worked for over 13 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication and public speaking in renowned public and private international institutions, involved in forums and conferences, and focused on two areas: training and coaching, with the key words pedagogy and careful methodology.
PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

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.
