I have facilitated workshops and given classes throughout my career all over the world.

English pronunciation is essential these days because English is spoken everywhere and all the time.

I followed specialized training such as the verb tonal method, Feldenkrais or mental coaching.

We are therefore going to work in a slightly different way by combining articulatory techniques, movement, rhythm, intonation, warming up of the jaw and tongue, stretching of the neck, neck and shoulders to arrive to very fast results.

I am an associate teacher and I offer private tutoring lessons in French, at secondary level, at lower and higher levels. In particular, I master the preparation methods for the French baccalaureate.

Passionate about literature and languages in general, I taught French for four years. I have worked in the Belgian public and private school systems as well as in a prestigious private French high school (MLF - OSUI). Of a tolerant and open nature, I teach with respect for the plurality of opinions and the diversity of approaches. My successive experiences in secondary education, in Belgium then in Morocco, have taught me enormously about the need to adapt my teaching strategies to varied audiences, taking into account the particularities of each one.

So, whether it is a question of strengthening certain bases or additional support aimed at approaching the subject in another, more transversal way, in order to overcome certain obstacles, do not hesitate to contact me to find the formula that would suit you!

I adapt my lessons according to my student and what they wish to work on or explore further: grammar exercises, reading or pronunciation, listening comprehension.

Trained as a translator, I lived in Great Britain for seven years. I taught French as a foreign language at the University of Edinburgh. I also have several years of experience teaching English in Belgium.
I work on the 4 skills related to learning a language: reading, writing, listening, speaking.
Among other things: grammar review, vocabulary learning, conversation and pronunciation improvement.
My course materials come from several teaching methods, but I am also ready to create new lessons depending on my learner.
I am ready to come to my student's home but I can also adapt my video course given the current circumstances.

I help you prepare your homework and tests but also to better understand the subject with which you are having difficulty (English, French, mathematics).

I offer tailored courses, in person or remotely, according to the needs of each student. For academic support, I adapt to the program followed by the child or adolescent, by deepening the concepts already covered, by re-explaining difficult points or by dissecting problematic themes.

For adults, I mainly teach the basics in Dutch, but I can adapt my lessons to different objectives. For example: learning the vocabulary for a new position, preparing for an exam (Selor, language certification), refreshing your knowledge before an interview, or improving your ability to communicate effectively in a professional or personal context.

I offer English lessons focused on reading, writing, and speaking skills, immersion in the culture and history of the language and English-speaking peoples, and I use methods tailored to each student to ensure the fastest and most lasting progress. To achieve this, I utilize a variety of resources: traditional exercises (grammar, spelling), oral and audio exercises for pronunciation and comprehension, music and games, educational videos, and more.
I place great importance on writing by hand and not just typing on a computer, as well as on non-traditional learning methods (films, music with lyrics, games) because this engages different parts of the brain more deeply and makes it easier to learn and retain information.
I guarantee personalized learning methods and support for each student, as well as a significant improvement in level in less time than it takes via traditional platforms.
