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.

Do you want to improve your knowledge of English? Are you having problems with grammar? Your English is a bit rusty, you lack practice, or maybe you want to start learning the language? This is the right place ! Retired translator/journalist helps you to improve your knowledge of the language through grammar lessons illustrated by numerous practical exercises. Improve your pronunciation and spelling, learn to express yourself without being overwhelmed by the rules but by applying them through numerous practical exercises.

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.

In Belgium, Dutch is a necessity, from primary school to professional life. Whether it is to succeed in a Dutch course at primary, secondary, university or high school, or to land a job or communicate more easily with your colleagues, I have the course you need ! With a mixture of theory (grammar, vocabulary) and various exercises, I adapt to your needs and desires. Do you work in a particular field that requires specific vocabulary? I gradually include it in the lessons so that learning the language is as useful as possible to you. A little more about me: I am quadrilingual (French, English, Spanish and Dutch) and I love sharing my knowledge with other people. I have already given various English and Dutch lessons.

I offer private Dutch lessons (conversation, grammar, text analysis, role plays) to students of all levels: from beginner to advanced, for support in the subject of primary, secondary and higher education, or for anyone who wishes to perfect their mastery of the language. I am available during the week and on weekends. Classes are normally given at my home, near Place Flagey.

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.

Since I believe that the learning environment is one of the keys to successful language learning, I endeavor to make students feel comfortable and content in my lessons: to ask questions if they are unsure and keep an easy but rewarding pace of learning. Depending on how my students feel they learn English most effectively, I adapt my lessons to use materials that give them the best results possible. For instance, some students find the continuity of a coursebook effective, while others prefer to be more flexible with articles and podcasts. I know from experience that every student is unique.

I have supported a large number of students with homework help (all branches combined) as well as with language lessons. Having also worked for several years as a school substitute, I have accumulated experience and am familiar with the requirements required in class. Polyglot, I master French, English, German, Spanish and Italian and am able to explain the grammar, as well as to propose nice exercises to learn these languages. I think it's important to keep a relaxed and playful atmosphere during the lessons :-) Do not hesitate to contact me if you want more information.

I specialise in tutoring English for European Union professional exams (e.g., AST - AD promotion exams and 'retour' interpretation exams), for other exams (SAT, GMAT, GRE, FCE, CAE, CPE, IELTS. TOEFL), for thesis submission, and for other professional work, particularly English for auditors, legal, financial and ambassadorial advisors, business people, project managers, salespeople, physicians, scientists, and academic students. All courses are individually tailored to the student's needs and students are invited to supply their own materials from work. Courses usually focus on passing an exam or on achieving a sense being able to work comfortably in English with native or non-native English speakers.

Hello, Let me introduce myself, my name is Eléa, I am 27 years old and have a master's degree in biology, specializing in ecology and biodiversity. I teach English here for anyone who wants to learn or improve their level. I speak fluent English, in addition to having obtained a C1 in IELTS, I studied my master's degree in English. I also lived for 6 months in South Africa, working in a South African association. Regarding the course of my classes, everyone learns best in their own way and it is therefore important for me to know each student to know which method(s) to use during our classes (auditory, visual and/or kinesthetic learning). But also to know what the level of the student is to be able to adapt my classes to each one. I think that the methods used at school are not necessarily the most fun and I think that the films, series and books that we like are more interesting to study in order to improve. I therefore propose to learn or improve your level in oral and/or written comprehension, using what interests you. Do you like reading Harry Potter, watching Star Wars for the 30th time, or do you want to finally understand the lyrics to that song you love so much? Well, that's what we'll use to help you learn without feeling like you're working. Regarding oral expression, each session will be on a different subject, which can be chosen in advance depending on what the student wishes to improve. If you are interested in my profile, do not hesitate to contact me, Elea
