Bachelor in English/Spanish Translation, and holder of a CAP diploma (Certificate of Teaching Aptitudes) I give private English lessons for pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, style, etc. through conversation. I taught English to groups of children in private schools, teenagers in remediation, then adults in the French Community of Belgium for 15 years. Belgian-American, I am native. I have traveled to London many times to visit art galleries and concerts with friends. I have stayed in the USA a large number of times because my family on my father's side lives there and family is important to me. I provide teaching materials if necessary but a financial contribution for copies is required at the start of the course in addition to the amount of each lesson. I correct the errors by proposing one or more alternatives to the erroneous version but I do not cut the person off while they are speaking, I wait for the end of the sentence, the end of the paragraph, so as not to cut them off. fluidity. I also work by theme by providing copies with texts to read or grammar exercises to do, either at the moment or the next time. I give homework if it suits the student, otherwise, all the work is done in class, and the student reviews between sessions, for faster improvement in their level. We can also work on songs based on song lyrics. Texts based on press articles. It is necessary to be curious, to dare to ask questions, to dare to have a thirst for knowledge and a desire to learn, through trial and error. I use innovative methods. If I don't know how to answer a question, I write it down and answer it in the next class.

Intermediate or advanced French conversation
Hello, I am French speaking and my strongest language is French. I studied English/Spanish Translation. You should know that the target language, into which we translate, is French, so the French courses in Translation are super advanced. I love the French language, its expressions, its subtleties, its style, its grammar, its etymology. I like to express myself in French and I like to correct the errors that I hear, that I read, that I see. I studied the CAP (Certificate of Teaching Aptitudes) for 8 years, with courses in Educational Psychology, Didactics of Disciplines, Educational Law, Educational Communication, etc. I am very caring. I can correct the student's mistakes and take them to another level. I have been to Paris several times. I am belgian. I know how to motivate the troops. If I don't know how to answer a question, I commit to researching it and answering it at the next session. French is my passion. I like the transmission and subtleties of language.
The teacher is passionate about Spanish and Spanish and Latin American culture. She has stayed in Spain countless times. She loves the Spanish language and its subtleties. She loves communicating in Spanish with her friends. She loves traveling to Spain and Central America. She worked with the Latin America House as a journalist after doing interviews and writing articles during her travels.
Based on an article or a theme brought up by the student or professor, the conversation between professor and student can begin. Then the teacher takes notes of the errors she hears. She transmits this information to the student after he has finished speaking, so as not to interrupt his fluency. Thus the student learns how to improve by asking the teacher questions and taking notes of the answers.

The teacher encourages the student and is caring. The teacher transmits her taste and passion for music. The teacher can also provide sheet music for classical or other music songs upon request.
