Approaching from a true native's perspective, I instruct and assist with both educational and business English in a multi-faceted nature covering a wide range of areas including comprehension, conversation, grammar, and situational skills, in addition to working on general language skills and accent training. As well, I can provide extensive help and training with the EPSO, IELTS, and TOEFL exams. I have also written, edited or proofread a variety of academic papers, theses, applications, CVs, and other documents for numerous satisfied academic and professional clients. I have spent my entire childhood and adult life in the United States before completing a master's degree in Political Science and European Politics at KU Leuven.

As a linguist, I never judge a speaker no matter how good or bad they are. I have every needed skill to help you to make your speaking closer to the standard French spoken in Belgium or France. I continually adapt the teaching (phonetics, grammar, syntax, etc...) to the needs of the students. According to your needs, we can work on speaking, writing, or both.

Spanish is always a great language to learn. Today if you love to travel, to know other cultures or meet new people, it's important to know lot of languages, and one of them must be Spanish. As a Spanish native I could teach you all the tricks you must know about the language and grammar, and I'm very dynamic so always we are going to mix conversations and grammar, because they're both have the same importance and are necessary to really learn a new language. I also speak French, English and German, so if sometimes you have doubts or don't really know how to say some things, I can help you, because I can understand you, and we you know some languages it's easier to teach but also to learn. As I said before, learn a new language is always a good idea and a great opportunity, so don't doubt and talk to me if you're are interested. As I'm native, I can teach without any problem adult people, but I've been also a teacher with kids, so I change the level and the dynamics, but in general, I don't have any problem to teach everyone, the age is never an impediment to learn new things.

Hello there, My name is Benjamin and I am a French art historian. My academic training in the English language started at the University of Toronto where I received a BA (summa cum laude) in History of Art and Philosophy. I also hold a Masters from the Courtauld Institute of Art in London in the history of Northern Renaissance art, and a Masters from KU Leuven in Philosophy. I am about to begin a PhD in History of Art and Ideas at the Warburg Institute in London. I am a native speaker/ reader in French. This course is intended for the general student of the humanities, Arts, and Sciences who would like to improve or formalise their written English. This course is focused on academic contexts, and can be tailored to suit your learning needs and level (high school to post-graduate). I am also available to assist with your academic applications/ interview prep in English. My main research interests are focused on pre-modern (1100-1600) European philosophy and art. I have a strong general reading in literary studies, cultural sciences, philosophy, and World History. I am available to meet at a cafe in Brussels, your home, or over Zoom. I look forward to helping you reach your academic goals! Benjamin D

For my classes, I am using multiple supports such as an English book, homemade exercices and my highschool textbook which I take the liberty to adapt depending on the student's level. I usually work by chapters, as I find it easier to move on throughout the lesson. I also appreciate the structured program to keep the mind clear and actually see the progress.

If you want to bost your conversational skills in Spanish in a relaxing atmosphere, I can help you. I'm a native Spanish speaker. We can talk to any topic of your interest. I would like to put the focus on improving your oral skills, but I'm open to personalized the lesson to your real needs. I also can explain to you some grammar o correct some writing exercises. If you are an absolute beginner, don't worry, I can speak English fluently to explain to you your doubts.

Hello there! This class is for anyone who would like to be fluent in Spanish. We'll go from grammar to speaking, reading, listening and pronunciation. I will adapt the classes to your specific needs. We can work on subjects which you find appealing, because the more you enjoy the class the faster you will learn. I'm a native speaker from Barcelona, living in Brussels since 2 years. I have mostly worked on the cultural sector. I'm a warm, empathic and enthusiast person and I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Learning English nowadays is essential and useful to anyone. This is class done only in immersion. I have been teaching English since the age of 16. I design my lessons based on the student's interests and hobbies, changing themes every 1-2 weeks :) My goal is to keep improving my student's English skills all by communicating in English (it is very important to be comfortable with the language). I assign homework after every lesson but if this is not wished it can be changed!

La façon meilleure d'apprendre une langue vivante et surement PARLER! Bien sur qu'il faut apprendre la grammaire mais une bonne partie du cours se base sur la capacité de communiquer. J'aime bien la littérature donc, pour ceux qui sont intéressés, je propose la lecture des textes italiens ou bien des traductions français-italien italien-français.

Verbal communication: Have you always dreamed of becoming a great speaker? This training is for you! During this training, you will learn the techniques to speak in front of an audience with ease and clarity, keeping your personality and without overplaying. Non-verbal communication: When we communicate, our non-verbal language can make up 70% of the message we spend. Our attitude and our actions are therefore essential for a good handover and understanding of our ideas. During this training, we will teach you the most effective non-verbal communication techniques to improve your interpersonal relationships.

I propose a personalized and dynamic pedagogy to learn naturally. I give homework after each lesson and periodically provide progress reports. I also adapt to all levels. Indeed, thanks to my more than ten years of experience as a Spanish teacher (in public centers as individual courses) I know how to adapt to the particular needs of each student. As for my qualifications, I studied Spanish Language Teacher for Foreigners (ELE) as well as advanced courses in "Didactics of Spaniard as a Foreign Language" at the University of Antonio de Nebrija, Madrid.

Hello everyone, I. My French / FLE course: I first seek to identify the needs of the student but also the requirements of his Professor if necessary, or requests related to a particular professional situation. It is from this inventory that I build my course. My teaching method aims for a clear understanding of the rules, (transmissive model) and instructions, and their constant recall. My explanations are always clear and structured and are ideally made with the words of the students, rather than with technical terms. Clear explanations, certain guidelines for orienting oneself in case of difficulties, taking a few notes, repetition - in a fun way if possible -, constant practice of exercises, recurring questions that I ask to check that the material is acquired, will ensure lasting success without cutting corners. Thus grammar, for example, becomes much less arid mental gymnastics than it seems. On the contrary!

I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
