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.

Emmanuel is a warm, approachable person who makes learning both fun and effective. His teaching method is creative and engaging and so the lessons don’t feel repetitive or boring. He also has a nice sense of humour which makes the entire experience feel personal and supportive.
The children really enjoyed their first lesson with Manu. They were very enthusiastic.

English: pronunciation (British or American). No grammar lessons. Adults only.I have facilitated workshops and given classes throughout my career all over the world.
English pronunciation is essential these days because English is spoken everywhere and all the time.
I followed specialized training such as the verb tonal method, Feldenkrais or mental coaching.
We are therefore going to work in a slightly different way by combining articulatory techniques, movement, rhythm, intonation, warming up of the jaw and tongue, stretching of the neck, neck and shoulders to arrive to very fast results.
Sophie
Academic teaches English-Russian-French in BrusselsBeing 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.

English lessons for beginners and more advanced (children and adults), oral practice, accent, vocabulary, pronunciationThe best way to learn a language is to practice it, listen to it and read it! This is why, as far as possible, the lessons will be given IN English, in order to train both your ear and to push you to answer/think in English.
A large part of the learning will go through the oral practice of the language: you will be invited to express yourself on various subjects that interest you.
Depending on your interests (and the sphere of possibilities), we can practice English through different activities: cooking, song analysis/translation, etc.
Do not hesitate to call on me, if your objective is:
- To acquire a more fluent English / to converse
- Work on your pronunciation/accent
- To rework a written text / train your written expression
- Learn the basics of the language
I am used to working with children and can adapt to all audiences.
I also offer lessons for the little ones, for a fun initiation with games and small activities (cooking, crafts, walks, drawing, etc.).
I can also address an adult audience seeking to acquire fluent English, a developed vocabulary, and ease in specific contexts.
Fern
Native speaker English teacher at your service live or by zoom!Hello there, my name is Fern. I was born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland where I have worked until today, after traveling and working in Asia and the Middle East in recent years. I have always given conversational practice lessons to students whose language I do not speak. Indeed, my mother tongue is English and I do not speak French or Dutch :) My method therefore involves a total immersion in the English language which will help you use the right tenses, the right formulas and idiomatic expressions and to perfect your fluency and your accent. I teach online or at my home in Ixelles. Looking forward to meeting you! See you soon.
Katherine
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!
Laura
English Conversation Adults, oral expression, grammar, vocabulary, English expressionsBachelor 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.

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.

Laetitia
Private lessons in EnglishI 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.
