Japanese with a former beginner, certified teacher

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
No, Japanese is not an exotic language or one reserved for manga fans, and impossible to really master... even for French speakers! As proof, here I am after several years of learning, diversifying my language course offering. After Dutch, German, English and Russian, I am adding Japanese to my range.
○ I teach full-time; it’s not a hobby ○ Good news: for me, learning is not limited to long lists of vocabulary. My classes take place in a relaxed and caring atmosphere, I am in opposition to the strict-rigid framework of some schools

In class, we combine learning grammar (a crucial and comforting foundation for beginners) with numerous practical exercises and role-playing exercises so that the student can manage on their own in the real world.

Above all, I transform language into a kind of game/code that must be deciphered. It is then enough to "grasp" the logic... It is "enough" of course - but that is my job - I will take care of it!

I have a myriad of paper materials but I prefer PowerPoints and other fun, interactive tools projected on my TV/computer screen when the course is online.

➤ Theory, exercises, supports provided free of charge with our courses


✦ We are a team, get involved; write to me outside of class ✦

■ By email, text message, or WhatsApp: for your questions, clarifications, requests between classes
■ My courses are tax deductible, I issue invoices.

I like to differentiate myself from those distant teachers who don't make you want to learn.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
As a student at the Higher Institute of Translators and Interpreters, I offer language courses to both children and adults.
-> I have the advantage of having been a student too. I therefore know the difficulties that can be had outside of one's mother tongue.

Sophie is above all a person who is passionate about the languages she teaches. She offers courses that adapt to your needs and demonstrates a lot of pedagogy in her courses. Furthermore, she is very friendly and puts you at ease straight away, which means you don't feel like you're back at school. I therefore highly recommend to anyone who would like to learn English or Russian to take lessons with Sophie

○ I support students full time, it's my job (it's not a hobby) ○ ✦ Guarantee of success, 98% of exams validated from 2017 to 2023, 95% from 2015 to 2017. Your success is important to me, I make it a real personal matter ✦ Dear future students/parents of students: Dutch is indeed poorly taught in French-speaking schools. But, yes, we can learn to appreciate it (Or stop being afraid of it?) My classes are often punctuated with laughter, I am not a fan of the strict-rigid atmosphere of some schools. Nevertheless, I make it a point of honor to ensure that this benevolence does not affect the learning and progress of the student. ✦ Effective and pragmatic teaching technique ✦ I combine learning grammar (essential for beginners) with numerous practical exercises and role-playing situations to ensure that the student will be able to cope in the real world. Above all, I transform language into a kind of game/code that must be deciphered. It is then enough to "grasp" the logic I have a plethora of paper materials but work mainly using PowerPoints and other fun and interactive tools projected on my TV/computer screen when the course is held online. ✎✎ 2 theory syllabuses; 2 exercise syllabuses provided free of charge with our courses ✦ We are a team, don't skimp on contacts ✦ ■ I can be reached by email, text message, or WhatsApp: for your questions, clarifications, requests between classes ■ Follow-up for parents (how to manage a student who is failing/having academic difficulties, how to help them in a practical way, reports of our courses). ■ My courses are tax deductible, I can provide invoices

Maybe our lessons will be the highlight of your day?
Being 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.
