About Me

Students usually bond with me and continue being my friend even after they learn English. I love to have fun during my lesson, so I usually variate my lessons with different activities. I like project-based and student-centered learning. I often enjoy having coffee with my students and/or discussing events in the news or about life in general. I assign homework and I expect students to complete it. I also assign reading lists of books that students will have to read in their free time. After reading each book, I expect each student to discuss it with me. I support my students so that they spend at least 20 hours per week with the English language.

English as a Second Language teacher, Test taking strategies, Writing, Conversational
I am an English as a Second Language teacher from America and I would love to be a part of your English learning experience. I have taught for 17 years and, as a learner of French myself, I understand how difficult it can be to learn a new language. I have taught in China before and found the experience amazing, so I look forward to being chosen by you to learn or improve your English to a higher level. If you are a student, I can also help you improve your ability to understand the language of testing, how to answer test questions properly and extensively, and I can help you develop your writing skills for all of the essays and written responses you may need to do in these tests. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.

Maxime
Private lessons in math-physics-chemistry, english
I am a second year student of engineering school (INSA). Someone serious and who has very easy contact. I propose to help anyone who needs it mainly in science (physics, SVT), maths and English for a high school level in high school but also help with homework for all levels since primary. My methods are relatively simple: repeat the exercises and the course seen by the student, understand the difficulty of the student by talking with him and try as much as possible to explain this course with other words. The goal for me is to get them to understand how to approach an exercise based on what we know without being afraid. Everyone has their own method to learn and remember (visual memory, auditory, repetitive, etc ...) the whole thing is to find it and I will be there for that to later develop their autonomy. We all went through a difficult phase where we had to find ourselves even to succeed as we can!

Spanish & English Lessons with Erika in Belgium :)
Teaching is my passion, and as a native speaker, I've had the pleasure of connecting with students worldwide, starting from my experiences in the Czech Republic where I used to teach English to children. We can delve into the intricacies of communication, focusing on what matters to you. I prepare students for tests like DELE and SIELE, tailoring my approach to your unique goals—whether it's acing an exam, exploring the world, or simply diving into language and culture. My lessons take a casual twist—we might stroll around, grab a coffee or tea, and make learning an enjoyable experience. The best part for me is when students express gratitude for our time together. I believe language is more than just words, and I look forward to sharing my perspective with you. Can't wait to meet you and start this language journey together!
