Katayama is a patient and respectful teacher, the classes are well structured and include reviewing grammar, dictation and speaking practises and similar exercises. I would definitely recommend his classes.
Katayama is a very friendly person and I am happy that I am able to learn from him in a way that suits me. I feel like I am getting better and better every time we meet, which is highly motivating to me.
Katayama is very kind and helpful, and he put a lot of effort into helping me make a study plan!
Very good first lesson, promising!
Katayama san is a wonderful teacher with lots of experience, he prepared our class very thoroughly which was perfect to my level. Within an hour we covered conversation skills, some reading, grammar, all of it in a very engaging and enjoyable way. Warmly recommend him.

Japanese language course - let's learn to speak, read and listen together!Japanese is a beautiful language, but how do you get started? Reading, speaking, and writing each come with their own difficulties that are quite different from what we're accustomed to in European languages.
I'm more than happy to provide you with Japanese lessons tailored to what you want to learn.
Would you like to...
master the basics in preparation of travelling to Japan?
prepare for higher studies Japanese?
learn to listen and read?
I'm here to assist you with that!
I believe anyone looking to learn a new language should engage with it daily. That's why learning Japanese in Belgium can be tricky! For those who are interested, I offer extra practice sessions and tips throughout the week to help you master Japanese as quickly as possible. 一緒に頑張りましょう!

Start speaking Spanish from 0 or improve yours skillsLanguage and culture are essential to connecting with others, and as someone who loves both, I’m excited to share my passion for teaching.

In my classes, I offer a personalized and engaging approach to help you learn Spanish effectively. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to improve your skills, I teach from levels A0 to B2, focusing on grammar, vocabulary, and everyday expressions to help you communicate confidently with native speakers.
My goal is to ensure that each student learns at their own pace while encouraging you to speak from the very first lesson. I provide all necessary materials, including books, exercises, and audio resources.
The lessons can be taught in either English or Spanish, depending on your preference.

The lessons are for everyone, whatever their age or level (children to adults). I will make sure that you discover the Italian culture through the lessons, learn the correct pronunciation and of course learn some grammar. I am open to your needs and can speak a few languages to make sure you understand fully the lessons (of course, we’ll try to use mostly Italian in all our lessons depending on your level).
I can’t wait to meet my new students! 😊

Learn Italian from a native speaker: grammar, oral and written skills!Hello, I'm Verdiana and I'm a Master student at KU Leuven.
I tutor students and offer private lessons since I was 16, thus I've gained quite some experience on the topic.
My main focus is on foreign language because I've studied them for 5 years. Here in Leuven though, I would like to teach Italian, my native language.
During a one-hour-class, you'll get the chance to explore the (difficult but fascinating) Italian grammar, to practice both your oral and written skills and to learn some useful Italian phrases.
Don't hesitate to contact me in case of any question!

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.
