Academic teaches English-Russian-French in Brussels
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Being a student myself, I have the advantage of understanding the student.I think that studying a language is not only about learning vocabulary lists.
I have been teaching for 7 years, and have already helped around fifty students of different ages.
My Erasmus in Manchester in a situation of total bilingualism has enriched the way I teach and I can pride myself on guaranteeing a fast and pleasant progression! ;)
-> NOBODY has "no gift" for languages, the key is just to let you guide.

Sophie is above all a person who is passionate about the languages she teaches. She offers courses that adapt to your needs and demonstrates a lot of pedagogy in her courses.
Furthermore, she is very friendly and puts you at ease straight away, which means you don't feel like you're back at school.
I therefore highly recommend to anyone who would like to learn English or Russian to take lessons with Sophie

○ I teach and interpret English full time. It is not a hobby, but rather the professional continuation of my Bachelor and Master degrees ○
✦ Guarantee of success, no student involved has ever failed, I make it a real personal matter ✦
Effective and pragmatic teaching technique
Good news: I believe that studying a language is not limited to long lists of vocabulary. My classes take place in a relaxed and caring atmosphere, I am not in favor of the strict framework of some schools
In class, we combine learning grammar (a crucial and comforting foundation for beginners) with numerous practical exercises and role-playing exercises so that the student can manage on their own in the real world.
Above all, I transform language into a kind of game/code that must be deciphered. It is then enough to "grasp" the logic... It is "enough" of course - but that is my job - I will take care of it!
I have a myriad of paper materials but I prefer PowerPoints and other fun, interactive tools projected on my TV/computer screen when the course is online.
➤ 2 theory syllabuses; 1 exercise syllabus provided free of charge with our courses
✦ We are a team, get involved; write to me outside of class ✦
■ I don't forget the parents (how to manage a student who is failing/having academic difficulties, how to help them in a practical way, reports of our lessons)
■ My courses are tax deductible, I can provide invoices
I like to differentiate myself from those distant teachers who don't make you want to learn.
Maybe our lessons will be the highlight of your day?
No, Japanese is not an exotic language or one reserved for manga fans, and impossible to really master... even for French speakers! As proof, here I am after several years of learning, diversifying my language course offering. After Dutch, German, English and Russian, I am adding Japanese to my range.

Dear future students/parents of students: Dutch is indeed poorly taught in French-speaking schools.
But, yes, we can learn to appreciate it (Or stop being afraid of it?)
My classes are often punctuated with laughter, I am not a fan of the strict-rigid atmosphere of some schools. Nevertheless, I make it a point of honor to ensure that this benevolence does not affect the learning and progress of the student.

West Coast (California) English. Learn by playing! We walk, we talk, I correct! FUN! I know you speak English! I WILL FIX IT!Hello! If you can understand this message without having to translate then you are ready for my help! I am from California, and have been living here in Brussels since 2012. I am 39 years old. I speak West Coast (California) English. It's the English you hear in your favorite California movies. I love to help friends who already speak "European street English" while HAVING FUN! Did you know that 70% of learning a language is learned OUTSIDE of a classroom setting? So I propose we go to the park, we cook together, we go on a bike ride, we draw, we play. And of course we will talk a lot. When I hear an error I will correct you in a fun way, writing things for you, with FUN AND REAL examples, with drawings, ALWAYS STAYING 100% in English. That's correct, I will only speak English to you, because as you and I both know, you already speak English, and you have understood everything (or maybe 70%) of everything I just wrote. What you want is to improve or perfect your spoken English (we can work on writing, too). Immersion and fun, West Coast Style. And my university degree? Yes, I have two of them, in Languages and Literatures, and I speak 4 fully fluent languages, but for now I want you to learn by HAVING FUN! My friends can tell you how fun it is to learn with me. HOPE WE GET TO PLAY TOGETHER SOON! You can do it! Groups ok.

French pronunciation for non French speakers or to lose an accent. No grammar lessons.French pronunciation is a real challenge.
The verbo tonal method, often used by speech therapists, is particularly suitable for correcting French pronunciation for those of you who are not French speakers but also for French speakers who wish to get rid of an accent.
We will work on the sounds of the language integrated into the sentence, the rhythm, the intonation and considered as a living and evolving system.
This method is very effective. You will see your progress very quickly and your self-confidence will allow you to overcome any reluctance you may have had before to express yourself in public. For others, having a more neutral pronunciation in French can be a significant asset professionally.

Make it fun! Experienced coach, creative & strategic approach allowing you to learn English as if you were in the UK.Do you speak English but want to improve it? Do you speak a little and would like to become fluent? Are you a good parent who wants your children to master World Esperanto? Whatever your goal, I will create a tailor-made program for you.
I adapt my method to each person taking into account their way of learning to achieve the best results. My teaching technique will make you understand a beautiful logic of this language. My examples, and a fun way in which I present them, will allow you to remember fixed words and expressions (the idioms).
I won't let you go until I eliminate the pronunciation mistakes! If you are French speaking, there is often work to be done :)
I am a big Anglophile, I studied in London, I am very attached to this country. We will listen to the BBC, read the FT, watch film clips, and learn to pronounce correctly. “Am French-speaking” is not an excuse for making pronunciation mistakes!
I will pass on to you my love for this language and for British culture. Learning by speaking is always better. My method is "learning by doing": you will talk a lot!

Practice and improve your English effectivelyHaving followed an English training from kindergarten to high school, I want to share the bilingualism that was offered to me. Because English is linguistically a major tool and it opens many doors, I want to teach the student how to master it at best.
To do this, a course divided into two equal parts, the first to learn grammar and vocabulary and the second to practice.

Sharing the pleasure of words - private lessons in French and literatureJust graduated from the National School of Visual Arts of La Cambre with great distinction after a master's in scenography (September 2019), I continue my artistic activity today by collaborating with several directors, while developing my practice of the writing (prose mixed with the tone of the essay, theatrical monologue, short story...) in various forms, ranging from books to installations. Attached to the musicality of the French language and the imaginations of literature, I am committed to transmitting this pleasure of words to others, in an instinctive, hybrid, nourishing and joyful approach.
On the program: reading and study of literary works freely chosen, grammar and spelling points adapted to needs, homework help, pronunciation and expression work. I am sensitive to the idea of rewarding learning where knowledge is transmitted horizontally, no longer from teacher to student, but from one potential to another potential. Sharing knowledge is for me a fundamental point in opening up to the world, and it is with attention, curiosity and enthusiasm that I intend to help.

English Courses for beginners ( Cours d'anglais pour débutant)English is undoubtedly an important language today, either for travelling ( hopefully soon we would be able to do so) or for work or school. It is a language that can open a lot of doors, and I would be happy to walk with you the first steps to it.
I studied English from my primary school, so I know the struggle that new beginners might have. I speak fluently Arabic, French and Italian.
Let's starts your journey ;)
