My name is Max and I offer courses in work methods and study assistance to students who have trouble finding a way of working that suits them.

I do most of my tutoring in a hotel, where I can provide coffee, water or hot chocolate.

After high school in the Latin option in Halle, I completed a double bilingual baccalaureate (Fr.-Eng.) ) at the Saint-Louis University, then a Master in Law at UCL (completed June 2018).

This varied career allowed me to develop a solid working method.

I gained significant experience during my university career by giving many courses to high school students.

These years of experience in school support have allowed me to develop a methodology adapted to the needs and profile of the student.

My rate includes full tuition (private lessons, the ability to ask questions outside of class time, writing and correcting questions, etc.).

I'm a flexible person, so just let me know when is the best time and we can arrange something together!

Hello to all of you!
I welcome you to my profile.
You would like to learn French and I would also like to teach you French.
Fortunately, French is my native language. I live in Brussels where I have taught many French courses to French speakers and also to non-French speakers in the framework of FLE (French as a Foreign Language), mostly face-to-face and also some distance learning. I want to expand the use of distance learning.
Hence my presence on this site.
My greatest wish is to help you make as much progress as possible in French.
To this end, I use a judicious combination of oral and written exchanges.
I use these conversations to introduce grammatical concepts and expand your vocabulary. All this in a fun and friendly atmosphere!
You will have to express yourself a lot in French, because my level of Dutch is average. In fact, I speak it at a "normal" pace, but with a more limited vocabulary and expressions than yours.
This may seem a little frustrating at first, but it is a real benefit to you as it forces you to express yourself in French as much as possible!
It's all in your favor!
Please contact me as soon as possible so that we can start a fruitful cooperation.

I have extensive experience teaching Thai to foreigners, including the partners of Thai nationals and children from mixed Thai families. I have taught students of all ages, from young children aged 5 and above to adult learners, in Belgium.

In addition, I owned and managed a language school in Thailand with approximately 50 students and a team of four teachers. The school offered four different subjects, and I was responsible for overseeing daily operations, curriculum development, and staff management.

I also worked as a full-time English teacher at an underprivileged school, where I planned and delivered engaging lessons while supporting students from diverse educational and social backgrounds.
