About Me
I was born in Belgium and am of Portuguese origin. French and Portuguese are my native languages, which I use fluently on a daily basis. I also have a very good command of Spanish and English.

I teach because I enjoy sharing knowledge and helping students gain confidence, especially in speaking. I believe that learning a language should be both structured and practical, so that students can progress effectively and feel comfortable using the language in real-life situations.

I am a patient, attentive, and adaptable teacher. I enjoy working with motivated students of all ages, whether children, teenagers, or adults, and I always adapt my teaching to each student’s pace, goals, and needs.

My lessons are personalized and focused on understanding, practice, and steady progress. My goal is for each student to feel supported, understood, and encouraged throughout their learning journey.

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.
