West Coast (California) English. Learn by playing! We walk, we talk, I correct! FUN! I know you speak English! I WILL FIX IT!

From 69.98 C$ /h

Hello! If you can understand this message without having to translate then you are ready for my help! I am from California, and have been living here in Brussels since 2012. I am 44 years old. I speak West Coast (California) English. It's the English you hear in your favorite California movies. I love to help friends who already speak "European street English" while HAVING FUN! Did you know that 70% of learning a language is learned OUTSIDE of a classroom setting? So I propose we go to the park, we cook together, we go on a bike ride, we draw, we play. And of course we will talk a lot. When I hear an error I will correct you in a fun way, writing things for you, with FUN AND REAL examples, with drawings, ALWAYS STAYING 100% in English. That's correct, I will only speak English to you, because as you and I both know, you already speak English, and you have understood everything (or maybe 70%) of everything I just wrote. What you want is to improve or perfect your spoken English (we can work on writing, too). Immersion and fun, West Coast Style. And my university degree? Yes, I have two of them, in Languages and Literature, and I speak 4 fully fluent languages (working on number five currently), but for now I want you to learn English by HAVING FUN! My friends and prior students can tell you how fun it is to learn with me. HOPE WE GET TO PLAY TOGETHER SOON! You can do it! Groups ok.

Extra information

Lessons in Brussels neighborhoods are ok. If outside of the Brussels 19, I ask for an extra fee for gas and travel (for 25 km maximum from Brussels).

Education

Yes, a double degree from California State University. But I found that the majority of my education has come from the 36 countries I have traveled to. All the languages I speak fluently I studied at the university level.

Doctoral teacher in math offers mathematics courses in different fields. I am proud to make mathematics interesting to students who don't like it. And then they were able to pass their math classes.
I have a PhD in applied mathematics. My passion is teaching, and I would love to teach next to my main work. I'm teaching in English and French. Depending on your address and flexibility, we can have a useful time with each other.
I am bilingual: English and French

It is a course that must allow the student to strengthen his achievements while being able to see progress. I will basically rely on the student's course, to better adjust to his level. It is important that the student become aware of where his difficulties are so that he can later correct himself, that he aims for autonomy.

There is never a dull moment in my classes! My specific classes and lesson plans are catered to specific age groups from Pre-K to adults. They consist of engaging language activities, and engaging language subjects. I seriously take into account the needs and skill level of each student in preparing my lesson plans and material.

I have facilitated workshops and given classes throughout my career all over the world.

English pronunciation is essential these days because English is spoken everywhere and all the time.

I followed specialized training such as the verb tonal method, Feldenkrais or mental coaching.

We are therefore going to work in a slightly different way by combining articulatory techniques, movement, rhythm, intonation, warming up of the jaw and tongue, stretching of the neck, neck and shoulders to arrive to very fast results.

Having followed an English training from kindergarten to high school, I want to share the bilingualism that was offered to me. Because English is linguistically a major tool and it opens many doors, I want to teach the student how to master it at best.

To do this, a course divided into two equal parts, the first to learn grammar and vocabulary and the second to practice.

Being a student myself, I have the advantage of understanding the student.
I think that studying a language is not only about learning vocabulary lists.
I have been teaching for 7 years, and have already helped around fifty students of different ages.
My Erasmus in Manchester in a situation of total bilingualism has enriched the way I teach and I can pride myself on guaranteeing a fast and pleasant progression! ;)
-> NOBODY has "no gift" for languages, the key is just to let you guide.

Bachelor in English/Spanish Translation, and holder of a CAP diploma (Certificate of Teaching Aptitudes) I give private English lessons for pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, style, etc. through conversation. I taught English to groups of children in private schools, teenagers in remediation, then adults in the French Community of Belgium for 15 years. Belgian-American, I am native. I have traveled to London many times to visit art galleries and concerts with friends. I have stayed in the USA a large number of times because my family on my father's side lives there and family is important to me.

I provide teaching materials if necessary but a financial contribution for copies is required at the start of the course in addition to the amount of each lesson. I correct the errors by proposing one or more alternatives to the erroneous version but I do not cut the person off while they are speaking, I wait for the end of the sentence, the end of the paragraph, so as not to cut them off. fluidity. I also work by theme by providing copies with texts to read or grammar exercises to do, either at the moment or the next time. I give homework if it suits the student, otherwise, all the work is done in class, and the student reviews between sessions, for faster improvement in their level. We can also work on songs based on song lyrics. Texts based on press articles. It is necessary to be curious, to dare to ask questions, to dare to have a thirst for knowledge and a desire to learn, through trial and error. I use innovative methods. If I don't know how to answer a question, I write it down and answer it in the next class.

I offer my services as a teacher
particular for homework help as well as for French,
Dutch and English.

French being my mother tongue, I have no trouble helping
people with shortcomings in this area. Furthermore,
i love reading so i always try to maintain a
correct vocabulary and my grammar rules.

Concerning English I am of a level C1 + according to the frame
common European reference point for languages. My grammar,
my conjugation and my vocabulary are therefore of a very good
level. English is a language that I maintain a lot thanks
to my correspondents but also through the films, books,
music ...

Finally, for Dutch, I am B2 (still according to the
framework) and my grammar and conjugation bases are
solid. I can easily help people of a level
beginner in learning this language. It is also a
language that I maintain through book or programs but
also thanks to some bilingual knowledge in my
entourage.

Also, patient and loving nature to teach, I can also
be a help for homework or primary level work or
secondary.

Finally, I am very available because I will reorient myself in my
studies which gives me more free time to give
course. I can move home with no problem no matter
the distance while respecting punctuality.

Hello there, my name is Fern. I was born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland where I have worked until today, after traveling and working in Asia and the Middle East in recent years. I have always given conversational practice lessons to students whose language I do not speak. Indeed, my mother tongue is English and I do not speak French or Dutch :) My method therefore involves a total immersion in the English language which will help you use the right tenses, the right formulas and idiomatic expressions and to perfect your fluency and your accent. I teach online or at my home in Ixelles. Looking forward to meeting you! See you soon.
