Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am a qualified teacher of English and Spanish is my mother tongue. I graduated with a Master in Philosophy, a Master in Political Science, a Master in University Pedagogy (with distinction), and I am a doctoral student in Philosophy. I like the interaction with the students and the dynamics in my races. I have several interests and motivations (including musical composition and literature), so conversation lessons are my asset.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
PhD in Philosophy, Master in Philosophy, Master in Pedagogy (with distinction) and Bac in Political Science.
Having been an assistant and then a university professor for three years at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia and the Universidad Javeriana (Bogotá), I have always had a deep interest in pedagogy, which is why I pursued a master's degree in university pedagogy. In addition, my work experience in Washington DC (as a history and political culture instructor for an NGO) has enhanced my ability to teach students in a multicultural and multidisciplinary environment. My knowledge of English, French and Spanish have, moreover, played an important role in the consolidation of my multicultural training in that they gave me access to multiple means of information.

A very good experience in the first lesson. Javier is a friendly teacher, organized and engaging.
Excellent experience, excellent teacher!

Javier is a great teacher, caring, gifted and educational, what else?
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I started my English lessons with Javier in January 2022 and I 100% recommend this teacher. Javier adapts very easily to your level and clearly identifies your strengths and weaknesses. A “typical” lesson with Javier is divided between a warm-up discussion and a part of explanation and theoretical exercises which allow you to integrate the material. Javier has a very extensive field of knowledge and he will be able to find topics of discussion that will interest you and around which you can exchange your opinions. If you are looking to improve your level in English and gain confidence in expressing yourself orally in this language, Javier is the teacher you need. Chloé

English for beginners, online, acquire basic knowledge of English and become an independent learner
An element for progressing rapidly in the new language of developing one's vocabulary. Oubliez la grammaire for a moment. If you are a good master of the grammar of your language: if your vocabulary is limited, you should only express it simply. Mieux vaut s'exprimer en faisant quelques fautes de grammaire que ne pas pouvoir s'exprimer du tout! It is sufficient to pass the first step of the manière aléatoire. There are different types of vocabulary: More than a grammatical addition is a one-off error in the presentation, but if the apprendre paralelement is not correct, it is necessary to ensure that the professor is able to combine the method effectively

English for beginners and guidance with homework, tests and presentations
I know that English can be a difficult subject for many and not everyone has the same aptitude for it. That is why I would like to help you learn this language and guide you in your tasks, tests and presentations. A few days before each lesson I would like to know what your task/test or presentation is about so that I can prepare for what you need. My goal is to take your English to the next level. About me: I am Ibrahim, I am 19 years old and I am a student in my first year of computer science at the university. My mother tongue is Dutch. I have also learned English, French and Arabic. I am very good with children and have experience with them. I have spent a total of 9 weeks on various playgrounds in Brussels and Leuven. So I know perfectly how to deal with your child.
