About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Retired translator/journalist, father of 4 children (all university students), I have always been convinced that knowledge, like culture, is meant to be shared. It is therefore with great pleasure that I strive to share what I think I master best, namely languages.
Supporter of a study of the language based on practical exercises rather than on the assimilation of sometimes somewhat tedious rules (an unfortunately essential step for good mastery of the language), I believe that homework is part of the learning process. learning, which implies a certain motivation on the part of the student.

Education

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Degree in translation (English/Italian section) - Degree in journalism and communication, information section (ULB)
Fluent in Dutch, diploma from the Business Language School.

Experience / Qualifications

I'm really enjoying my lessons with Claude. My french has really improved in the months I've been studying with him. He always takes the time to explain new concepts and vocabulary carefully (and where possible in French). I'm sure I will be continuing my lessons with Claude for the foreseeable future!
Claude's lesson has been a really nice experience. He provides both a great mix of listening, speaking and practical learning activities and a very safe, supportive learning environment.

Anastasia
Young teacher offers dynamic French lessons to all levels
Bonjour! My name is Anastasia, I am a 24 years old French native and I am here to help you improve your French skills. I have been teaching students of various levels from all around the world for over 5 years. I have helped students prepare for French exams like the DELF, as well as those who are planning to move to a French-speaking country and need real-life language skills. I understand the challenges of learning a language, having learned two languages myself: English and Portuguese, and plan to learn more. I have faced difficulties, hit walls, and overcome them, and I believe that my experience as a language learner makes me a well-rounded teacher. However, I do not claim to know everything about teaching, as I am constantly learning. I tailor my teaching method to best suit the needs of my students. I use interactive resources such as images, videos, and texts to help my students learn effectively. For beginners, I recommend trying out the Pimsleur method, which is a 30-minute audio lesson based on gradual interval recall. This method reviews learned vocabulary at increasingly longer intervals and has been used by the CIA. If you are interested, we can discuss how to use this method together. I offer French lessons remotely through Skype, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams or at the students place. When the lesson is online, I use a platform that allows us to see and modify documents, images, and videos in real-time, which is very useful. I would be happy to help you on your French learning journey.

Joy

The first lesson serves to tie it all together, in addition to breaking the ice. My priority is to give my students confidence. All skills are covered, and it is also possible to focus lessons on production and oral comprehension (phonetics, accent reduction, etc.) as well as on specific objectives (FOS) If you are a secondary or higher education student and French is not your mother tongue, I can also give you academic support lessons. My classes are given online or at your home, depending on your location. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. See you soon Joy :)

Private French lessons - all levels (French as a foreign language / advanced oral and written skills)
The French language, what a hassle! Learning French is a real obstacle course !! Between the words that are not pronounced as they are written, the feminine / masculine, the conjugation of sleeping upright, the accents .... I am here to give you (re) taste this beautiful language thanks to a playful learning and inspired by speech therapy techniques. Depending on demand, we can work on the lexicon as well as reading, spelling, or even understanding text. I am also open to other areas. My journey : I obtained the speech therapist diploma at Marie Haps in 2019, while giving private lessons for a long time in parallel with my studies. Currently, I am a graduate of the Master's degree in speech therapy with a specialized focus.

Nicolas
French lessons for professionnal or social needs. Native speaker teacher with a lot of experience in Brussels!
I'm a 33 years old french teacher and I've been living here in Brussels for 11 years, 8 of them as a french teacher. Before that I studied political sciences and had a couple of experiences in public communication. As a teacher, I gave classes in languages centers (such as Berlitz or Semantics), so I worked and continue working in different environments like lawyer cabinets, hospitals, companies or NGO based in Brussels or with people learing french through unemployment programs). But I also give private lessons, like the one we might do together. This brought me to work with different linguistic, cultural and professionnal backgrounds as well as with very different age classes (from 5 to 65). My class is essentially based on improving communication skills, that is to say that I give an advantage to the practice of verbal expression, through simulations (of professional situations, like doing a public presentation or conducting a meeting,...) and conversation (around documents and medias like articles, audiovisual items,...). Nevertheless, when learning or doing the revision of grammar points is needed, I organize grammar items to work on too (the use of the subjonctif, la concordance des temps, how to express hypothesis,...). For that, I use primarly the book Grammaire Progressive du Français but can also use different material (I worked with some product of the editions Alter Ego more centered on workplace oriented needs for example). So my methode is "taylor-made" as I adapt the content around the needs of each students in term of their communication objectives. Don't hesitate to ask me if I forgot to mention anything in this quick profile!
