My prices include a feedback sheet after each lesson. This includes detailed comments and suggestions about the grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary of the lesson.
Before classes start, you will receive a short questionnaire to determine your level, needs and interests. This serves as the basis of our program, and ensures that it is completely personalized. In addition, you can always inform me when you have other occasional needs that you want to work on during the lesson (reports, presentations, vacation in an English-speaking country...). We will do regular reviews during classes, and I will ask you to do some homework at home, according to your schedule.
I adapt my lessons to your specific needs, while taking into account key skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar and pronunciation). Regarding the latter, I can also teach the phonetic alphabet.
In addition to Business English, I provide assistance with texts and reports (proofreading).
The courses are yours, and the goal is for them to be educational, interesting, motivating, and for you to see that you are making progress. I am friendly, empathetic, patient, and I can provide you with solid and, above all, authentic recommendations.
Feel free to contact me for more information.
Hope to meet you!

English - learn by doing (from perfecting the language to teaching the basics to upgrading)
In the case of tutoring, I base my lessons on the subject seen by the student by explaining to him in another way with many examples and by making him practice as much as possible. In case of learning the basics, I have set up my own totally interactive method so that the student can practice and during which I speak almost only in English to be close to immersion during the lessons. Do not hesitate to contact me for: - learn the basics - prepare for a test - have support for your lessons - practice the language - ... Whatever your needs, I take a practical and fun approach to English because, in my opinion, it is the best way to learn.

I offer my services to help your children achieve their academic goals, whether it is for the little ones who are discovering reading and writing, or for teenagers in the middle of preparing for exams. I also have experience with university students who needed a helping hand in certain subjects. Patient and attentive, I adapt to the specific needs of each student, offering them personalized support to help them progress at their own pace and with confidence. In terms of education, I followed a Preparatory Class for the Grandes Écoles in France (literature, philosophy, history, geography and languages), and obtained a bachelor's degree in English Language, Literature and Civilization. I then continued with a master's degree in British and American translation and civilization. I had the chance to work for two years at the Lycée Français Jean Monnet in Brussels, where I acquired solid experience with students of all ages and a good understanding of the expectations of the school system. I would be happy to discuss this with you and see how I can contribute to its success.

Private lessons in English
I offer my services as a teacher particular for homework help as well as for French, Dutch and English. French being my mother tongue, I have no trouble helping people with shortcomings in this area. Furthermore, i love reading so i always try to maintain a correct vocabulary and my grammar rules. Concerning English I am of a level C1 + according to the frame common European reference point for languages. My grammar, my conjugation and my vocabulary are therefore of a very good level. English is a language that I maintain a lot thanks to my correspondents but also through the films, books, music ... Finally, for Dutch, I am B2 (still according to the framework) and my grammar and conjugation bases are solid. I can easily help people of a level beginner in learning this language. It is also a language that I maintain through book or programs but also thanks to some bilingual knowledge in my entourage. Also, patient and loving nature to teach, I can also be a help for homework or primary level work or secondary. Finally, I am very available because I will reorient myself in my studies which gives me more free time to give course. I can move home with no problem no matter the distance while respecting punctuality.

Sofia
English for beginners and intermediates - written and oral
Who the courses are for: anyone who wants to learn English from scratch or who wants to improve their level of English (up to B2). I am also happy to teach children. The location: I would like the location not to be too far from the city, preferably in a library or a quiet place. I can also teach at home, but this will have to be discussed with my roommates. Availability: I do not yet know the final hours of my internship, but in principle I will not be available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. From then on, I am available, especially on weekends. The method: At the beginning, it is a good idea to do a test according to the level you want to achieve in order to determine which are the most important aspects to improve. Then the lessons will be organized according to the student's personal or professional interests, because I think it is more effective and more fun to learn a language when you combine learning with something you love. I will use my creativity to promote smooth and engaging learning.
