In a personal learning route you walk on your own level and at your own pace through vocabulary, grammar and especially talking.
No school stuff, but a lot of variety to stimulate your GOESTING for the language and give a boost to your self-confidence.
YES, YOU CAN!
I am a certified language teacher (NL-ENG) with many years of experience in schools, adult education and companies, and consider me a 'language desire architect'.
Together we open doors in a creative way, we bring the world a piece of 'on your doorstep'.
And, who knows, in the near future you will have a (linguistic) lump richer!

ENGLISH BELOW

Do you feel insecure when speaking in front of groups? Do you feel you could have more fun speaking in front of groups? Are you afraid that the content of what you say will be lost?

Many people find it quite difficult to speak in front of groups. You may have heard the advice 'imagine everyone's in their underpants', but it didn't help (or you probably won't be reading this text).
Maybe you don't find public speaking all that difficult or scary, but you think you can get a lot more out of it.

I would like to help you become a better, more relaxed and open speaker. The coaching is completely tailored to your needs and needs, but we work, for example, on preparing, analyzing and/or writing a text, body posture and language, use of voice and empathy.

I was trained as an actress and singer, two subjects that give me a lot of baggage and inspiration when coaching public speaking. I have more than 8 years of experience as a coach and teacher.


///

I specialize in coaching individuals in how to present themselves on stage or before a group. My goal is to focus on your own specific goals and help you develop your skills. Whether you need to speak in public for work or school, or just want to get rid of stage fright before giving that wedding speech, I can help you better yourself and gain confidence!
We work on different levels: analyzing and/or writing text, performing, body language and voice.
I have a strong background in singing and acting and have been working as a teacher, coach and director for over years.

French and English are such beautiful and useful langages. With me you'll be able to practice your writing, reading, listening but also your speaking skills without any judgement. We'll have funny discussions and I'll show you that French is not that difficult. Having langages skills looks great on a CV but also enables you to show off to your friends and family. For children, I had many experiences as an English tutor in France, I would be very pedagogical to help kids learn while having fun.

The goal of this session is to allow the learner to speak in English, to understand its principle and how it can be used at school and professional level. These are also very simple lessons.

Hi, I'm Sofia, a 19-year-old university student. I grew up attending an international school where I used English daily in both academic and social settings. As a result, I speak English at a native level. Although I do not yet have formal tutoring experience, I'm motivated, patient and passionate about helping children/students improve their English skills. I'm flexible and happy to adapt to the student's needs - whether they want to focus on speaking, reading, listening, writing, or need help with homework. If a student prefers to practice speaking or reading only, that's perfectly fine. Parents and students are welcome to share their goals and preferences. I'm available every day until mid-September. From the end of September onwards, I will be back at university, so I'll mainly be available on weekends. My evening schedule during the week is still unknown, but this can be discussed later on.

French (Intermediate & Support):
Whether you need to polish your pronunciation, expand your vocabulary, or proofread your essays, I am here to help. Coming from a French-speaking family, with a grandfather who was a French teacher, I place a special emphasis on oral expression and helping you feel natural and confident when speaking.

Dutch/English (Beginner Level):

This beginner Dutch course is designed for students who are new to the language and want to build a strong foundation in a clear, practical, and supportive way. You will learn essential vocabulary, basic grammar, pronunciation, and everyday expressions that help you communicate with confidence in real-life situations.

Throughout the course, you will practice introducing yourself, asking and answering simple questions, talking about family, work, food, travel, and daily routines. By the end of the course, you will be able to understand and use common Dutch phrases, form basic sentences, and take part in simple conversations.

Intermediate Dutch

This intermediate Dutch course is designed for students who already know the basics and want to become more fluent, accurate, and confident in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. You will expand your vocabulary, strengthen your grammar, and learn how to express yourself more naturally in a wide range of everyday and professional situations.

Throughout the course, you will practice longer conversations, improve your sentence structure, and develop a better understanding of spoken and written Dutch. You will learn how to discuss opinions, describe experiences, handle common real-life situations, and communicate more comfortably with native speakers.

If you want, I can also make these sound more professional, more casual, or more sales-focused for a course platform.
