FLE teacher graduated from the Alliance française Bruxelles-Europe. I taught in Laos (1 year in a local school) in Peru (1 year in a college and in a French alliance), in Moscow (2 years in a private language school), in Brussels (6 month in an association that delivers courses to newcomers and the F9 for private and group lessons at the ULB).
The type of teaching that I favor is based on active pedagogy, constant interaction of the learner with his teacher and his environment, a cultural exchange and a clear and precise understanding of the objectives to be achieved.
To apply this practice I use a lot: authentic documents (radio and TV programs, articles, reports, songs, testimonials, ...), the role play (theatrical exercises), games are a founding element of my teaching (playful and recreational approach of the language), the debates (the experience and the personal history being the raw material to animate them), reading (books and comics: phonetics), the grammatical exercises in adequacy with the theme ( didactics of FLE and grammatical methodology)

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.

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 can offer conversation classes at very different levels, from informal discussions with idiomatic expressions to business negotiation dialogues.

As for the pronunciation of French, it is a real challenge because written French is often very different from its articulation.

The verbo-tonal method that I use, and which is often used by speech therapists, is particularly suitable for correcting French pronunciation for those of you who are not native French speakers, but also for native French speakers who wish to get rid of an accent.

We will work on the sounds of the language integrated into the sentence, the rhythm, the intonation and considered as a living and evolving system.

This method is very effective. You will see your progress very quickly and your self-confidence will allow you to overcome any reluctance you may have had before to express yourself in public. For others, having a more neutral pronunciation in French can be a significant asset professionally.

Spelling problems? Poor language skills? Does studying the rules seem tedious or even boring to you? That's understandable, but this might change your mind. Retired translator/journalist, I help you in the systematic study of grammar, with exercises, explanations and homework. Oral and written communication based on practice and exercises.
Follow-up of tutoring provided and detailed review of unmastered material.
Correction of pronunciation if necessary.
Classes can be given in English or Italian if necessary.
No very young children.

Specializing in translation and teaching French (abroad), I offer general academic support for homework and reviewing concepts of French linguistics, grammar and spelling.
My course is aimed at lower/upper secondary school students and higher education and university students; I have experience in preparing for the central jury, university entrance exams and students studying linguistics, translation and speech therapy.

I will adapt my way of working and my teaching methods according to my student and what he wants to improve: oral or written expression, reading and analysis of books (themes, characters), writing summaries of texts or arguments on subjects often given in the Central Jury exams or university admission exams.
I have experience working with teenagers and young adults, and my teaching also includes coaching. I am willing to travel to my student's home, and they are also welcome to visit me at my home (Uccle).

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.
