English Conversation Adults, oral expression, grammar, vocabulary, English expressions

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.

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 has been singing for 22 years. She studied Solfeggio and Piano at the Musicole (Uccle) then Singing and Soflège at the Académie de Saint Gilles, in Lyric Singing. She took group singing lessons with several renowned teachers (La Voie Créatif, Frédérique Rochette, Jérôme Porsperger, Corps Chant Voix). The teacher has a piano to work on vocals and piano. The teacher works on the basis of song texts. The student discovers or recognizes the song after choosing between several titles. The teacher adapts to her student's tastes as to the type of music that pleases him, she transmits her knowledge of singing whether for melody, for rhythm, for the placement of the voice and breathing. 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. The teacher sings in a choir. It is also possible to work on rhythm using a metronome and a djembe, although the teacher is not a djembe specialist.

English lessons for beginners and more advanced (children and adults), oral practice, accent, vocabulary, pronunciation
The 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.

Gabrielle
Practice and improve your English effectively
Having 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.

English Tutoring for improving conversation skills or creative writing
Originally from the UK, I have been working and travelling abroad for the last few years so I understand the difficulties and beauty of learning a new language.

I have worked as an English teacher to refugees as well as teaching dance and somatic movement practices online and in person. Currently I am based in Brussels but am happy to work online or come to you!

Laia Mani
Language courses in Spanish, English and Catalan for all ages
Hola! My name is Laia and I am a student from Spain studying a MA in political science in Brussels. Therefore, my mother tongue is Spanish and Catalan. Moreover, I've had the opportunity to live and study abroad in countries like the United States, Germany and France and I have achieved the C2 level in english (Cambridge title), and the basic levels in French and German. I really like teaching languages since I believe learning idioms is a really useful skill and I can totally adapt to every type of class that the student desires (it can be online or at home, I could focus more on Speaking or the desired area, and I could also teach more than one student at a time). I have taught english to kids before and I really enjoy the experience of seeing people develop an interest for the Spanish/Catalan culture.

Hi! my name is Fran, I'm a master's graduate and I'm offering English lessons for all ages and levels. Whether you are preparing for an exam (TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge), you need help with your homework, or just want to improve your vocabulary while having a nice conversation, I will adapt to your needs and objectives. I'm a responsible but easygoing person, and I believe that having a good time is a fundamental factor while learning a new language. That's why I will include materials from literature, cinema, or music so we can enjoy and work on them together :) Through my formal qualifications (C1+ TOEFL, C2 Cambridge) and years living abroad, I have gained extensive experience using English daily, and I will teach you how to navigate the language within different contexts. Online classes can take place on any platform (Zoom, teams, etc.), and if you live in Brussels I can move to any place of your convenience. I hope that I got your interest, and if so, don't hesitate to ask any questions!

David
English conversation practice with a native speaker: improve your English through conversation
I am an American student living and studying in Brussels. My teaching methods are based largely on my own experiences studying French, German and Japanese, combined with careful consideration of the interests and learning style of the student. The primary and most important motivation in language learning is the desire to understand and take part in another culture. I therefore try to understand why my students would like to learn English, and what aspects of English-speaking culture interest them, whether it be films, literature, music, etc. Our lessons will be primarily conversations entirely in English (or as much as possible) with corrections when needed. Using your current English level and the kinds of mistakes you make as a guide, we can look at grammar, pronunciation, and other topics to improve your level. If desired, we can prepare topics and resources ahead of class time, such as articles, movies, books, etc. to give us a theme for the conversation.

Ioanna
