German teacher teaches in Ixelles or at home

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
My teaching method aims for a clear understanding of the rules and their constant reminder, and if possible in a "playful" way. In my opinion, the practice of grammar is like mental gymnastics much less arid than it seems. Learning German on a bad basis is also very detrimental for the rest of one's learning.
My explanations are clear and structured, and are ideally done with the words of students, rather than with technical terms. I also give great importance to oral expression because it allows the student to better appropriate the language and is often neglected or difficult to teach in group classes.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Writer, former journalist and secondary school teacher in Belgium and DRC (Lubumbashi), teacher of French as a Foreign Language in Russia and Japan (Tokyo), I have accumulated in recent years a long experience of teaching with students of all ages and origins. I have also lived in Germany for years (Berlin and Munich) and I speak German fluently, the language I currently teach. Thus, I offer German, French and writing lessons.
My strengths are the clarity of my explanations and my infectious enthusiasm.

My Creative Writing Course: Novelist awarded by the FWB in 2019, I also worked for a long time as a journalist for the daily press and Belgian magazine. From these professional experiences, I have drawn a large number of lessons and literary techniques that I intend to teach you. In the case of a literary project, remembering a certain number of simple advices - which can all be negated in the absolute - often helps to avoid a number of errors made by great beginners. A constructive dialogue on the structure of the story, the message that the author wishes to convey, the adequacy of the writing with the message, is likely to unblock certain situations. Finally, a look, an outside opinion is always interesting, even if it should never impose itself as a truth. In the journalistic writing that I have practiced for years (more than 400 articles and files published), the writing rules are much more strict and facilitate a more rigorous approach. In this case, I go directly to the correction of the student's texts or to the analysis of published articles.
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!

German lessons for beginners or advanced students ! Let's speak some German :-)
As a native German speaker I am happy to help people perfect what is a bit shaky :-) I thought German at University for about a year in Indonesia. The best way to learn another language is by speaking it ! Lessons from A1 to C1 are possible, for beginners or advanced students of all ages.

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
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.
