English as a Foreign Language delivered by experienced native teacher
Experienced native English teacher available in the Brussels area to help with your English language needs.
I have certificates in TEFL from both Universitat de Barcelona and University College Cork and have taught English professionally in France, Spain and Italy. I have extensive experience with a variety of age groups, from as young as 3 years old right into adulthood. For two years I taught in an Official Language School in Palma de Mallorca, Spain where I gave classes to students aged 16+ and where I specialised in conversational and project based methodologies. I also delivered classes with a language academy in Padova, Italy where I specialised in adolescent instruction using project based methodologies.
I have been working with the European Parliament for the past year where I have specialised in Regional Development and Women's Rights policy issues. I also possess honours Bachelors Degrees in both European Studies and Hispanic Studies awarded by University College Cork, making me ideal if you're seeking to improve your English for academic or professional reasons.
I have extensive experience with delivering classes to children - I try my best to engage with play and creative methods as far as possible. I've kept strong bonds with the majority of my former 'young' students and it's been such a pleasure to see some of them grow into adolescence with almost fluent English.
I speak French to B2 level and Spanish to C1 level with basic Italian, Portuguese and Catalan, but try to deliver my classes with as much English as possible so as to facilitate target language goals.
Don't hesitate to contact for any further information!

About Me
I'm a 25 year old Irish girl who is passionate about languages and European policy. I'm the oldest in a large family with much younger siblings, which means I get along with and work well with kids.My teaching style is unique and very 'me' - I'm chatty and extremely creative! I love cooking, writing and photography, and I love to plan my classes with a very creative, project based methodology. In addition to politics I also adore pop culture - TV, film, music... and I love using these things in my classes!
I'm an extremely positive person, and do my absolute best to guide and encourage my students in every step of my journey.
(One of my proudest moments as a teacher was when a 14 year old student asked if she could impersonate me in our school's final talent show, but refused to show me her impersonation. She got onstage in front of all the parents, and squealed "Oh my God, guys! You're amazing, I love you and I'm so proud of you all! Harry Styles, Harry Styles, Harry Styles!" I think it was a very accurate impersonation.)

Professional & Academic English with American Instructor and JournalistI am a native American English speaking instructor, editor, journalist, and legal/policy expert from Florida specializing in instruction, interview and exam prep, consulting and text correction for a wide range of professionals & students across Belgium including in the legal, academic, policy, and other fields.

Annelise
Native English teacher for children and teenagers.I've been teaching English to small children up to teenagers at École Française Internationale. I give lessons for beginners and intermediate levels. I mix between French and English so the pupil doesn't get too confused, but also allows them to understand every detail.
For beginners, we usually talk about our surroundings, what's close to us and what affects us on a daily basis. (Numbers, directions, the weather, asking simple questions, what's a noun and pronoun and where to put them in a sentence). I like to find playful activities so that the pupil/student is in control of their work. It also stimulates their motivation.
Of course, this is an example for a certain age group, but it also varies depending on their knowledge and their age.
For intermediates, we make basic conversation. Ex: How do you go to school; What do you do in your free time? ; What's the weather like?
The lessons depend on whether the student is learning for their personal knowledge or if it's for school.
--------------------------------
The start of the course with a new learner consists of detecting their level by talking about their background, what they already know, what they must master in order to no longer have any gaps. The first lesson also allows the learner to get comfortable and get to know me to establish mutual trust. That’s why I use a touch of my British humor to achieve this. (I generally do this at the start of the lesson with my students to establish a good mood and they are always delighted!) To help the learner better engage with the learning, I will ask them what their passions/hobbies are, this who interests him to arouse interest in learning. I will adapt my lessons on subjects that speak to him more.
Depending on age and level of knowledge of English, the method will vary. I play with songs if it's for vocabulary or accent, it helps me memorize better and what's better in song... Everyone listens to music!
No matter the reason for the course, if it is to improve oral, written, reading or listening comprehension, I organize audio sessions, readings, everything necessary to deepen the language using the active pedagogy that I learned during my CAP training. I can play the news from the BBC news channel, the weather forecast, the trailer for a film. My goal is for the learner to evolve gradually with as few gaps as possible.
Corinne
English: pronunciation (British or American). No grammar lessons. Adults only.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.
Lelia
Homework help for primary and secondary schools, Help with exam preparationI 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.
Serdane
English courses for high school students or adultsMy name is Serdane and I offer English lessons to high school students and adults who find it difficult to develop a way of working that suits them. Extroverted and bubbly... and above all, full of humor!
I believe that language learning is based above all on the development of an appropriate learning method. Some learn languages intuitively by engaging in conversations. Others, on the contrary, need rigorous exposure to grammatical concepts before launching into conversations. There are as many ways to learn as there are students... That's why I adapt my lessons to everyone's needs, and above all, I try to help each student discover what works for him, so that he can continue to progress independently.
My areas of expertise:
- Enhancement
- catching up
- Grammar reviews
- Conversation course
- Work method (organization, schedule of revisions, etc.)
My price includes complete academic support (private lessons, the possibility of asking questions outside of class hours, writing and correcting questions, etc.).
I produce all of my course materials for each student. So there is no need for you to buy a learning book. However, if you are already working from a book, it is entirely possible for me to adapt to it.
Nice to meet you! :-)
Ramon
SPANISH LESSONS for ALL LEVELS CHILDREN AND ADULTSWith over 5 years of experience as a Spanish teacher in secondary schools and colleges in Brussels and London.

Keir
English & French - classes /support for children, teenagers and adultsWhat to expect?
Young children - More of a game/activity learning method but also involves learning a broad scheme of things. It is in a way, an introduction to the basics of the language.
Teenagers - Usually involve set goals to reach by a certain period (for school). The teaching method and intensity depends on the amount of catching up to do.
If no catch up is required a more friendly learning method can be applied depending on the learner's interests.
Adults - More of a discussion-based learning method, depending on the experience of the learner. And can be oriented more towards specific subjects or domains chosen by the learner. It can involve course work or tasks to be done.
Why me?
I was born in Scotland but I grew up mostly in the french-speaking part of Belgium so I would say that both English and French are my natal languages.
I have decent knowledge of the various English cultures, vocabulary, and grammar.
Having traveled for a year in North America and having lived in Australia, Ireland, and Britain.
My mother is an english teacher in a secondary school and has given private english lessons ever since we moved to Belgium when I was six years old . I have participated or helped in many classes when needed.
I have access to a ton of material and her personal knowledge if I or we are experiencing a problem that we can't seem to solve. Or an issue the learner is experiencing that is preventing him/her from advancing.
I am a very "auto-ditact" person who tries to maximize the resources I have and the ones I have access to. I am good at understanding and solving problems and I believe that I can apply this to teaching as well.
I am a very professional person that tries to stay as relaxed and calm as possible. I am also extremely patient and have a lot of dedication.
If there is a deadline and a goal to meet, I will try my very best to make things work.
Additional info
I also know the humiliation that we sometimes feel when speaking a foreign language. I try to be as impartial and non-judgemental as I can in order to make the person feel as relaxed as possible when communicating with them.
