My Services
Skype consultancy
A consulting via Skype is the best solution to deal with a specific problem.
The session is built around the intructor’s requestes.
The session works like a chat in which we will do an analysis of what you want to improve and together we will find an action plan that meets your needs.
If you have a specific problem in conducting the class, growing your group, promoting yourself or managing your energy, contact me for a session via skype.
Training seminar
The seminars allow for the combination of theoretical explanation and practical activity.
Contact me for one day seminar on a specific topic. We can work with your class or with your instrucotrs pool. (or both!)
During the seminar we will have the opportunity to work through simulations and micro-teaching sessions highlighting the possibilities for improvement.
Compared to consultancy, a seminar has the advantage of being able to involve a pool of instructors and amortize costs through an event dedicated to practitioners.
5-day training course
This course is designed for the instructor who wants to have complete training, both practical and theoretical, on issues related to teaching, class management and personal promotion.
Compared to individual events, it offers an organic approach that frames each topic within a self-reinforcing structure. In this training offer there are modules that are not available in the one-day programs.
The topics that are covered in the one-day modules are in any case treated and deepened with advanced elements.
