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.

Do you want to learn Chinese, whether for your child, your studies, your work, a trip, or simply out of curiosity? I offer Mandarin courses adapted for children, teenagers, and adults, from beginner to intermediate level!

Currently in my final year of a Master's degree in Chinese studies, I speak four languages (French, Dutch, English and Chinese) and I had the opportunity to live and study for a year in Beijing, at the 外交学院 (China Foreign Affairs University).

My career has also been marked by several participations in the Chinese Bridge Competition, a major international Chinese language competition. I twice achieved second place in the Belgian final and then participated in the storytelling event (故事会), where I reached the Top 50 worldwide.

My method is based on a structured progression inspired in particular by the HSK, while being adapted to the objectives and pace of each student. We can work on pronunciation and tones, vocabulary, grammar, characters, listening comprehension as well as oral and written expression.

For children and teenagers, I use an interactive approach with games, stories, pictures, dialogues, and age-appropriate activities. For adults, I can tailor the lessons more to conversation, practical Chinese, everyday situations, travel, studies, or a professional context.

I also wish to share my passion for Chinese culture, which I had the opportunity to explore in depth during my year in Beijing. Since language and culture are closely linked, the courses can also incorporate elements of traditions, festivals, history, and daily life in China.

Each lesson is therefore personalized according to the student's level, age and objectives.

Whether you are a complete beginner or wish to consolidate an intermediate level, my goal is to enable you to progress in Chinese in a serious, structured and motivating way.

It depends on the age of the person I'm teaching, but I would switch between reading, listening and talking exercises. A small text would have to be written for the next hour, so we can go through it together. Obviously I am very spontaneous and able to switch my program, so every individual person is learning at their perfect level.

I offer an interactive method, tailored to your needs. We will progress according to your level. Do you want to improve your speaking skills? I offer role-playing exercises.
Do you want to feel more confident in your conversations at work or at the café? We'll simulate conversations in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. If you'd prefer to focus on specific areas of weakness, such as grammar or conjugation, we'll review the essential rules of the French language together.
