CELTA trained native English teacher; interactive and fun lessons

From 79.14 C$ /h

I am a trained CELTA English teacher and also have an MA TESOL to teach English to speakers of other languages. I love to inspire others not only to speak English but to encourage them to develop their own unique style of using the language which fits their needs, personality, interests and motivation.

I will always address the individual learning needs in the design of a course. You are encouraged to participate in the different techniques and methods that suit you as a learner. I am trained in task based teaching, multi-sensory techniques and teaching languages to learners with difficulties.

About Me

Méthodology

I will use a variety of different methods, so that you enjoy your learning experience. I can offer a structured course to take you to the next level (Grammar is learnt by doing). I currently teach to students and work professionals (oral presentations, writing skills and fluency). As I mix task based and a communication approach, students are active in the lessons and their learning comes from this participation. I teach all levels from beginners to advanced.

Methodology
I have the ability to use a variety of different methods depending on each individual. For those who are intimidated by grammar and get confused easily, I will give you some simple tools so you can improve effortlessly. I use communication strategies that I integrate throughout the course to help you become independent in participating in the tasks I assign. I conduct needs assessments and am committed to providing you with lessons tailored to your needs, interests, strengths, and weaknesses. You may not necessarily notice that you are making an intellectual effort, but simply that you are having fun learning and improving your use of the English language.

Graduate teacher offers an individualized pedagogy, assistance with the preparation of questions or exams. My goal is to advance the student without overburdening him.

I have more than three years of experience as an English teacher in schools, English language academies, businesses and private lessons. In general I teach with maximum effort that the student expresses himself as much as possible in English so that he can have a better mastery of the language.

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 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.

In the case of tutoring, I base my lessons on the subject seen by the student by explaining to him in another way with many examples and by making him practice as much as possible.

In case of learning the basics, I have set up my own totally interactive method so that the student can practice and during which I speak almost only in English to be close to immersion during the lessons.

Do not hesitate to contact me for:
- learn the basics
- prepare for a test
- have support for your lessons
- practice the language
- ...

Whatever your needs, I take a practical and fun approach to English because, in my opinion, it is the best way to learn.

I offer my services to help your children achieve their academic goals, whether it is for the little ones who are discovering reading and writing, or for teenagers in the middle of preparing for exams. I also have experience with university students who needed a helping hand in certain subjects.
Patient and attentive, I adapt to the specific needs of each student, offering them personalized support to help them progress at their own pace and with confidence.
In terms of education, I followed a Preparatory Class for the Grandes Écoles in France (literature, philosophy, history, geography and languages), and obtained a bachelor's degree in English Language, Literature and Civilization. I then continued with a master's degree in British and American translation and civilization. I had the chance to work for two years at the Lycée Français Jean Monnet in Brussels, where I acquired solid experience with students of all ages and a good understanding of the expectations of the school system.
I would be happy to discuss this with you and see how I can contribute to its success.

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. My approach is always flexible, student-centered, and aims to strengthen both understanding and self-confidence.
