About Me

Hello! I have been living in Brussels for three years now and teaching English for one and a half. Most of my students are between 10 and 20 years old, but I have had some a bit younger and some quite a bit older. I teach across skill levels, from total beginners to people looking for a little polishing for professional emails. I would be glad to talk to you about what your needs are and figure out a teaching path that can get you to your goals.

Education

I graduated magna cum laude from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2015 with a Bachelor's in Economics. I also studied film, and worked on a number of student films in various capacities.

Experience / Qualifications

TEFL Certification, experience teaching private students in Brussels as well as at various English academies. Before that, I worked in administration, and in hospitality.

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.

Julie
English lessons for beginners and advanced by webcam
Hey you! Do you want to learn English or improve it? You are in the right place! English is one of the most common and useful languages in the world, whether for work, travelling, watching series in original version, understanding your favorite American or English star... What? An English course for both beginners and advanced, both for children and adults... we discover the basics of the language, grammar and useful vocabulary in a fun way, or we deepen these knowledge, with some revisions if necessary. Obviously, we will tackle all skills: reading, writing, speaking and hearing. Who? I'm Julie, a fan of languages, I've already mastered almost four, and I always want to discover new ones. English has (almost) no more secrets for me. I'm also a photographer and a photography teacher on the side, so I have a background in building lessons with lots of practice. How? For one to two hours (two hours recommended to progress more efficiently), I always prepare my lessons specially and in an up-to-date way, using recent articles, relevant and useful vocabulary on a daily basis. Classes are currently only taking place online, as I am not in Belgium. When? Well, whenever you want! As soon as possible, to improve your English tomorrow! So what are you waiting for?

Serdane
English courses for high school students or adults
My 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! :-)

Italian lessons and lessons for foreigners at all levels
I am a teacher and tutor of Italian Language for Foreigners with a Master's degree in teaching Italian as a language for foreigners from the Ca' Foscari University of Venezia and the DITALS certification (Certificate of aptitude in didactics of Italian to foreigners) of the University for Foreigners of Siena (Italy). The course and my method of teaching the language are based on a communicative approach: the student will learn the language gradually by using it and communicating in a real language and not abstract. To achieve this goal, many activities will be offered using authentic teaching materials such as newspaper articles, pages from novels, movie scenes, song lyrics and many more.

Jim
Private English lessons for children - teenagers - adults
I support anyone wishing to learn or improve their English, intended for both children and adults. Being bilingual French-English by birth, I easily juggle between the two languages. I adapt to your needs: whether it is to work on grammar, learn vocabulary or practice speaking, I develop my courses according to your request. My method consists of transforming the course into a fun activity, in order to make it a pleasant moment rather than a burden for the student. By changing the learner's state of mind, he is more receptive, more focused, he retains more easily and this motivates him to persevere in learning.

Eléa
English courses for all levels, for children and adults
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

French courses for foreigners (FLE)
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.

ENGLISH and GERMAN LESSONS FOR CHILDREN/ TEENS/ ADULTS BEGINNERS TO ADVANCED
Hello everyone and welcome to my English and or German lessons taught in group. I organise English and German lessons for children and teenagers and separately adult English group lessons (beginners to advanced). For children and teenagers, interactive activities are used as a way to motivate them, help them remember what they have learned in class and make sure they will be able to apply their language skills in real life context. For the adults lessons, depending on what the students are willing to learn, we can have discussions based on the news, some grammar, writing... I am open to any suggestions, just tell me your needs and I am going to adapt the next lessons for you. If you wish to invite your friends and make a group with them, just let me know and I will allocate you a time slot. For private English lessons, please have a look at my other advertisements. The German lessons are usually for beginners/ intermediate (exceptionally advanced levels in German can be organised only if there is a high-demand). Don't hesitate to contact me should you have further questions. It would be a huge pleasure to integrate you in one of my classes. :-) Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

Keir
English & French - classes /support for children, teenagers and adults
What 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.
