My name is Serdane and I offer French as a foreign language classes for teenagers and adults. Extrovert and bubbly ... and above all, a lot of humor! Languages are my passion, and I am always happy to share this passion with others.

Everyone learns in his own way. This is why I do not have a rigid method but adapt to the contrary to the specificities of each student. I evaluate its level, its strengths, its possible weaknesses or delays, and I develop my course accordingly. My priority, give confidence to the student: the French is within the reach of all!

I believe in active teaching methods: I try to involve the student as much as possible, to make him discover what works for him, so that he can continue his career independently.

My rate includes full support (private lessons, the ability to ask questions outside of class time, writing and correcting questions, etc.).

Looking forward to reading you.

To discover France in different aspects: culture, tourism, news, literature, cinema, songs, gastronomy and many other things. To chat in French, to learn and to have fun.
This course is reserved for the curious, all those who want to speak French by discovering it differently than what books offer or effective but traditional learning methods: you will talk about news, cooking, travel, culture, you are in French but with a vocabulary adapted to your level to start but with the goal of always improving the quality of your speech as naturally as possible.

I aim my lesson at Dutch speakers who want to learn French, who have difficulties with it at school, or who simply want to refine their conversation skills.
French is my native language, and I have studied Latin and Greek, which gave me a deeper understanding of French grammar and language.

My name is Huyen and I have held a diploma in teaching French (foreign language - FLE) since 2012 from the Higher Institute of Translators and Interpreters (now attached to the Free University of Brussels). Former interpreter at the Lille High Court, I am now a teacher.

I offer French lessons for children. I know that learning a new language can be intimidating at first, and improving is quite a challenge. However, everyone learns in their own way and at their own pace. This is why the course content and teaching method will change from one student to another. The lessons will be developed and adapted according to the student's level but also their needs and learning style. During lessons, I will emphasize active learning and try to interact with the student as much as possible.

With your goals in mind, let's work together so you can achieve the fluency you need to communicate with more confidence!

I like to use different methods to teach French to students. It can be through songs, drama, role play or videos. I also very often use situations close to the student's experience, such as describing places they have been or talking about what they have experienced. At the same time, I teach the grammar rules to the student. I now live in regions where French has been spoken for over 30 years. Because I have learned French myself (and I am still learning other languages), I can easily put myself in a student's shoes. I can teach in French, Dutch, English, German and Russian.

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.

The courses are aimed at high school students, literature students, and adults learning French (FLE). Through courses tailored to their needs, learners will consolidate their French skills, either from a strictly linguistic or literary perspective.

As for the language, we will be able to work on different aspects: grammar, conjugation, syntax rules, written and oral expression.

More experienced learners, in rhetoric and at university, will be able to consolidate their skills in written expression and literary analysis.

It is about progressing realistically and at the learner's own pace, and developing methods that allow for long-term improvement.

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.

Studying a language is not just about memorizing lists of verbs, it is above all about being able to express oneself with confidence.
My approach is simple: clarity and practical application are my priorities. Whether it's for French (FLE), Spanish, or Italian, we'll work on what truly matters to you.
Zero blockage: We practice speaking from the beginning so that speaking becomes natural.
Current content: We use a variety of media (videos, articles, podcasts) to understand the language as it is spoken today.
School effectiveness: For students, we go straight to the essential points to unlock understanding.

My approach for our first meeting:
The first session is dedicated to your goals and interests. I like to build my lessons around your passions: this allows us to work on specific vocabulary and conversation topics that truly motivate you. A lesson tailored to you is a lesson where progress is faster.

When do we start?
