Prepare for a Ted-style presentation or speech in English

So you need to make a presentation or give a speech? No problem. For 10 years, I've worked in the private sector helping executives and managers organize their presentation, incorporate storytelling to keep the audience engaged, and deliver with confidence.

Together, we will:
- Identify a presentation style you feel comfortable with
- Discuss your audience
- Draft a presentation
- Review presentation skills (where to stand, what to do with your hands)
- Rehearse until you're ready
- Evaluate your presentation and lessons learned for next time

I have 20+ years experience in marketing and communications at Fortune 500 corporate companies, start-ups, non-profits, and government. I spent 10 years writing and preparing executives for speeches given internally and externally, at companies where they serve on the board, and at conferences with their peers. I am also a TOEFL certified English instructor and have volunteered at an English school for immigrants in the US.

Cours de Français, Néerlandais, Anglais, Mathématiques, Histoire, Relations Internationales, Droit, Sciences et Géographie.
I am a Belgian (Flemish) and French student who has recently completed a Master's degree in International Law at the University of Amsterdam. I completed my Bachelor's degree in International Relations at the University of Geneva (magna cum laude) and also spent six months on exchange at UCSB (University of California, Santa Barbara). Additionally, I attended an international high school in France for my secondary education, where I specialized in sciences and achieved a score of 18/20 on the final scientific baccalaureate. The classes at this school were taught in French, english, dutch, and spanish. Here is an overview of my previous tutoring experience: 2021/2022: I worked at "bijlesthuis," a Dutch tutoring institution, where I primarily taught french, dutch, and english to adult learners seeking to improve their language skills. During the same period, I also provided classes to other students through Apprentus. 2021: Through Apprentus and other websites, I assisted several younger students (ages 5-15) in Bern and Geneva, helping them improve their skills in subjects such as math and french. 2017/2020: I worked for three years at a tutoring institution in Geneva called ARA, where I primarily taught french, mathematics, and english. During this time, I also spent two years working at a private school called Florimont, where I supported students aged 11-16 across various subjects by assisting them with their homework. I can teach French, Dutch, and English, and I thoroughly enjoy teaching and assisting students in their progress and acquisition of new skills. As a person, I am flexible, calm, and positive. I am excited to meet you and look forward to working with you! Amélie
