Being a student myself, I have the advantage of understanding the student.
I think that studying a language is not only about learning vocabulary lists.
I have been teaching for 7 years, and have already helped around fifty students of different ages.
My Erasmus in Manchester in a situation of total bilingualism has enriched the way I teach and I can pride myself on guaranteeing a fast and pleasant progression! ;)
-> NOBODY has "no gift" for languages, the key is just to let you guide.
Extra information
I have all the necessary manuals and computer supports

○ I support students full time, it's my job (it's not a hobby) ○

✦ Guarantee of success, 98% of exams validated from 2017 to 2023, 95% from 2015 to 2017. Your success is important to me, I make it a real personal matter ✦

Dear future students/parents of students: Dutch is indeed poorly taught in French-speaking schools.
But, yes, we can learn to appreciate it (Or stop being afraid of it?)

My classes are often punctuated with laughter, I am not a fan of the strict-rigid atmosphere of some schools. Nevertheless, I make it a point of honor to ensure that this benevolence does not affect the learning and progress of the student.

✦ Effective and pragmatic teaching technique ✦

I combine learning grammar (essential for beginners) with numerous practical exercises and role-playing situations to ensure that the student will be able to cope in the real world.

Above all, I transform language into a kind of game/code that must be deciphered. It is then enough to "grasp" the logic

I have a plethora of paper materials but work mainly using PowerPoints and other fun and interactive tools projected on my TV/computer screen when the course is held online.

✎✎ 2 theory syllabuses; 2 exercise syllabuses provided free of charge with our courses


✦ We are a team, don't skimp on contacts ✦

■ I can be reached by email, text message, or WhatsApp: for your questions, clarifications, requests between classes
■ Follow-up for parents (how to manage a student who is failing/having academic difficulties, how to help them in a practical way, reports of our courses).
■ My courses are tax deductible, I can provide invoices

○ I teach and interpret English full time. It is not a hobby, but rather the professional continuation of my Bachelor and Master degrees ○

✦ Guarantee of success, no student involved has ever failed, I make it a real personal matter ✦

Effective and pragmatic teaching technique

Good news: I believe that studying a language is not limited to long lists of vocabulary. My classes take place in a relaxed and caring atmosphere, I am not in favor of the strict framework of some schools

In class, we combine learning grammar (a crucial and comforting foundation for beginners) with numerous practical exercises and role-playing exercises so that the student can manage on their own in the real world.

Above all, I transform language into a kind of game/code that must be deciphered. It is then enough to "grasp" the logic... It is "enough" of course - but that is my job - I will take care of it!

I have a myriad of paper materials but I prefer PowerPoints and other fun, interactive tools projected on my TV/computer screen when the course is online.

➤ 2 theory syllabuses; 1 exercise syllabus provided free of charge with our courses


✦ We are a team, get involved; write to me outside of class ✦

■ I don't forget the parents (how to manage a student who is failing/having academic difficulties, how to help them in a practical way, reports of our lessons)
■ My courses are tax deductible, I can provide invoices

I like to differentiate myself from those distant teachers who don't make you want to learn.

Maybe our lessons will be the highlight of your day?

It is a course that must allow the student to strengthen his achievements while being able to see progress. I will basically rely on the student's course, to better adjust to his level. It is important that the student become aware of where his difficulties are so that he can later correct himself, that he aims for autonomy.

Hello! If you can understand this message without having to translate then you are ready for my help! I am from California, and have been living here in Brussels since 2012. I am 44 years old. I speak West Coast (California) English. It's the English you hear in your favorite California movies. I love to help friends who already speak "European street English" while HAVING FUN! Did you know that 70% of learning a language is learned OUTSIDE of a classroom setting? So I propose we go to the park, we cook together, we go on a bike ride, we draw, we play. And of course we will talk a lot. When I hear an error I will correct you in a fun way, writing things for you, with FUN AND REAL examples, with drawings, ALWAYS STAYING 100% in English. That's correct, I will only speak English to you, because as you and I both know, you already speak English, and you have understood everything (or maybe 70%) of everything I just wrote. What you want is to improve or perfect your spoken English (we can work on writing, too). Immersion and fun, West Coast Style. And my university degree? Yes, I have two of them, in Languages and Literature, and I speak 4 fully fluent languages (working on number five currently), but for now I want you to learn English by HAVING FUN! My friends and prior students can tell you how fun it is to learn with me. HOPE WE GET TO PLAY TOGETHER SOON! You can do it! Groups ok.

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.

Having followed an English training from kindergarten to high school, I want to share the bilingualism that was offered to me. Because English is linguistically a major tool and it opens many doors, I want to teach the student how to master it at best.

To do this, a course divided into two equal parts, the first to learn grammar and vocabulary and the second to practice.

English language trainer with experience working in various ages.
I have studied sports nutrition and sports psychology and play professional hockey in brussels and with the Irish National team.

My approach is to get people to a level where they feel comfortable in the daily use of the English language: overcoming all those difficulties and anxieties connected to language learning, I make sure my students attain the level they feel necessary weather that is school, university or employment level.

I offer
• One-to-one tuition
• Small group lessons (max 4 students)
• Interview preparation
Courses are tailor-made and can be of short or long duration.

The methodology courses allow you to acquire a good foundation in terms of method, efficiency and management of school work at any level.

Planning, organization and synthesis: essential reflexes to allow everyone to develop an adequate and above all effective working method. We must also not forget the importance of the different techniques for memorizing the student, his way of revising his lessons and self-assessment.

English is undoubtedly an important language today, either for travelling ( hopefully soon we would be able to do so) or for work or school. It is a language that can open a lot of doors, and I would be happy to walk with you the first steps to it.
I studied English from my primary school, so I know the struggle that new beginners might have. I speak fluently Arabic, French and Italian.

Let's starts your journey ;)

Beginner: A language for a foreigner is above all new sounds to expand and train. You are a beginner, I will prepare you to feel at ease with the musicality of French.
Intermediate: we will make a list of your achievements and fill in your gaps
confirmed: we will sharpen your skills to make you almost French-speaking
student: literature, grammar, spelling.... will no longer have any secrets for you
I always work with a book adapted to your level and your needs.
Everything is done so that you speak and that listening to me is the corrected echo of your errors.
Looking forward to offering you your first lesson with me

Do you speak English but want to improve it? Do you speak a little and would like to become fluent? Are you a good parent who wants your children to master World Esperanto? Whatever your goal, I will create a tailor-made program for you.

I adapt my method to each person taking into account their way of learning to achieve the best results. My teaching technique will make you understand a beautiful logic of this language. My examples, and a fun way in which I present them, will allow you to remember fixed words and expressions (the idioms).

I won't let you go until I eliminate the pronunciation mistakes! If you are French speaking, there is often work to be done :)

I am a big Anglophile, I studied in London, I am very attached to this country. We will listen to the BBC, read the FT, watch film clips, and learn to pronounce correctly. “Am French-speaking” is not an excuse for making pronunciation mistakes!

I will pass on to you my love for this language and for British culture. Learning by speaking is always better. My method is "learning by doing": you will talk a lot!
