Speak (or improve) your Catalan from day one!

From 39.99 C$ /h

Learning a language is not just about learning its vocabulary and grammar.
With a communication method adapted to you, my goal is to personalize the course to your needs in order to achieve your goals and be able to express yourself from day one.
The methodology I use is flexible (songs, translations, pure and specific grammar or
vocabulary games?), it depends on your preferences, interests and linguistic objectives (academic, professional, conversational: what is yours?).

Verbal communication:
Have you always dreamed of becoming a great speaker? This training is for you!
During this training, you will learn the techniques to speak in front of an audience with ease and clarity, keeping your personality and without overplaying.

Non-verbal communication:
When we communicate, our non-verbal language can make up 70% of the message we spend. Our attitude and our actions are therefore essential for a good handover and understanding of our ideas.
During this training, we will teach you the most effective non-verbal communication techniques to improve your interpersonal relationships.

I offer a personalized and dynamic teaching method for natural learning. I assign homework after each lesson and provide periodic progress reports. I also adapt to all levels and schedules. Indeed, thanks to my more than ten years of experience as a Spanish teacher (in public centers as well as individual classes), I know how to adapt to the specific needs of each student.

As for my qualifications, I studied Spanish Language Teacher for Foreigners (ELE) as well as advanced courses in "Didactics of Spaniard as a Foreign Language" at the University of Antonio de Nebrija, Madrid.

I am a native American English speaking instructor, editor, journalist, and legal/policy expert from Florida specializing in instruction, interview and exam prep, consulting and text correction for a wide range of professionals & students across Belgium including in the legal, academic, policy, and other fields.

My past & present clients have included: professionals and politicians from all four major EU institutions, the Belgian government, the UNHCR, and various NGOs, alongside diplomats, doctors, journalists, and engineers, as well as a variety of other professions in addition to traditional students..I have had over 50+ repeat students on Apprentus (which recently changed their algorithm to only display the last six months).

Approaching from a true native's perspective, I instruct and assist with both educational and business English in a multi-faceted nature covering a wide range of areas including comprehension, conversation, grammar, and situational skills, in addition to working on general language skills and accent training. As well, I can provide extensive help and training with the EPSO, IELTS, and TOEFL exams.

I have also written, edited or proofread a variety of academic papers, theses, applications, CVs, and other documents for numerous satisfied academic and professional clients.

I have spent my entire childhood and adult life in the United States before completing a master's degree in Political Science and European Politics at KU Leuven. Additionally, I also possess Bachelor's degrees in Political Science and History. I have an extensive knowledge and experience of English grammar and literature, as well as current and past working experience in journalism (Anti-Competition Law and European Policy at the Policy and Regulatory Report) and both European and American politics.

I also handle correction of text, editing, proofreading and ghostwriting, with weekly and monthly rates possible. My transportation costs are included.

I am an American and English-educated graduate, with a BA in Politics from the US and a Masters from the London School of Economics. I have experience tutoring academic English and essay writing for non-native speakers, as well as leading small group classes.

I can help you improve your:
- reading and listening comprehension
- English writing
- speaking abilities
- professional and academic English
- applications for US or UK universities.

Lessons can always be adapted to your needs: whether you want something more relaxed, to focus on a specific subject area, or to practice interviews for university and job applications, I'm here to help!

The best way to learn a living language is definitely to SPEAK! Of course, you have to learn grammar, but a good part of the course is based on communication skills. I like literature, so for those who are interested, I suggest reading Italian texts or French-Italian Italian-French translations.

Learning English nowadays is essential and useful to anyone.
This is class done only in immersion.
I have been teaching English since the age of 16.
I design my lessons based on the student's interests and hobbies, changing themes every 1-2 weeks :)
My goal is to keep improving my student's English skills all by communicating in English (it is very important to be comfortable with the language).
I assign homework after every lesson but if this is not wished it can be changed!

Hello there! This class is for anyone who would like to be fluent in Spanish. We'll go from grammar to speaking, reading, listening and pronunciation. I will adapt the classes to your specific needs. We can work on subjects which you find appealing, because the more you enjoy the class the faster you will learn.
I'm a native speaker from Barcelona, living in Brussels since 2 years. I have mostly worked on the cultural sector. I'm a warm, empathic and enthusiast person and I'm looking forward to meeting you!

If you want to bost your conversational skills in Spanish in a relaxing atmosphere, I can help you. I'm a native Spanish speaker. We can talk to any topic of your interest.

I would like to put the focus on improving your oral skills, but I'm open to personalized the lesson to your real needs. I also can explain to you some grammar o correct some writing exercises.

If you are an absolute beginner, don't worry, I can speak English fluently to explain to you your doubts.

As a linguist, I never judge a speaker no matter how good or bad they are. I have every needed skill to help you to make your speaking closer to the standard French spoken in Belgium or France.
I continually adapt the teaching (phonetics, grammar, syntax, etc...) to the needs of the students.
According to your needs, we can work on speaking, writing, or both.

For my classes, I am using multiple supports such as an English book, homemade exercices and my highschool textbook which I take the liberty to adapt depending on the student's level.

I usually work by chapters, as I find it easier to move on throughout the lesson. I also appreciate the structured program to keep the mind clear and actually see the progress.

Hello there,

My name is Benjamin and I am a French art historian. My academic training in the English language started at the University of Toronto where I received a BA (summa cum laude) in History of Art and Philosophy. I also hold a Masters from the Courtauld Institute of Art in London in the history of Northern Renaissance art, and a Masters from KU Leuven in Philosophy. I am about to begin a PhD in History of Art and Ideas at the Warburg Institute in London. I am a native speaker/ reader in French.

This course is intended for the general student of the humanities, Arts, and Sciences who would like to improve or formalise their written English. This course is focused on academic contexts, and can be tailored to suit your learning needs and level (high school to post-graduate). I am also available to assist with your academic applications/ interview prep in English.

My main research interests are focused on pre-modern (1100-1600) European philosophy and art. I have a strong general reading in literary studies, cultural sciences, philosophy, and World History.

I am available to meet at a cafe in Brussels, your home, or over Zoom.

I look forward to helping you reach your academic goals!

I'm offering Italian language lessons, drawing not only on my native fluency but also on my academic background in Humanities, with a focus on Italian language and literature.

You will improve your grammar, expand your vocabulary, and gain a deeper understanding of Italian culture and expression!

Finally, you’ll be able to use the hand gesture 🤌 in the most appropriate way!

My Italian classes are for all levels! During my classes, you tell me what you want to learn, and I'll help you achieve your goals. My classes are dynamic and can cover grammar, listening, reading, or simply Italian culture. They're interactive, and I'll listen to all your requests! For each session, I'll prepare personalized lessons that will help you achieve your goals faster.

I see my role more as a guide or tutor, someone who creates a supportive environment where students feel comfortable to learn and making mistakes. I enjoy working with students in a collaborative way: for example, giving them exercises or homework, and then going through the corrections together, so that the focus is not only on the result but also on the learning process.

Since I have taught Italian to foreign students in the past, I have developed an approach that emphasizes patience, clarity, and adaptability. I believe it is important to meet students where they are, to understand their individual needs, and to adjust my explanations accordingly. For me, being an "instructor" means encouraging curiosity, motivating students to engage actively, and helping them build confidence step by step.
