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.

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

Effective and pragmatic teaching technique
Good news: I believe that studying a language is not limited to long lists of vocabulary. My classes take place in a relaxed and caring atmosphere, I am not in favor of the strict 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.

■ I don't forget the parents (how to manage a student who is failing/having academic difficulties, how to help them in a practical way, reports of our lessons)
■ My courses are tax deductible, I can provide invoices
I like to differentiate myself from those distant teachers who don't make you want to learn.
Maybe our lessons will be the highlight of your day?
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.

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.

Knowledge enrichment Science / Languages and State EconomicsAs a former Geography teacher for a few years at the start of my career and now as a young retired ex-Chief of Police and perfectly bilingual Dutch-French, I offer a daily availability to help out during the day where it is needed. I have the necessary pedagogical skills to help raise the knowledge of others to a higher level and to fill certain gaps.
This can be for tutoring / explaining Geography and other Sciences to pupils / pupils to Dutch language lessons for adults and (extra) lessons in other languages for pupils and pupils in function of improving their language skills.
If there is a need for it, I can of course also provide an explanation of the Belgian state and regional / community structures and their role and functioning, but also provide meaningful interpretation / explanation of relevant / useful criminal aspects of application in our society.

Italian and English at your doorstep - Uccle, BrusselsHello!
Are you interested in learning Italian or English, or improving your fluency? You've come to the right place.
I have officially been a teacher since 2018 and I'm currently working as a part-time English teacher at a public school in the centre of Brussels. I have experience with kids, teenagers and adults and I enjoy the variety of teaching different age groups. During our lessons we'll be using real-life material such as newspaper articles, poems, songs and stories, but also videos and films, or anything else you're interested in! I adapt my classes to the needs and interests of my students, which means you won't get bored and before you can realise it, you'll find yourself speaking another language!
I also offer tutoring in these areas: homework, literature, FCE / Cambridge exams, academic and creative writing.
If you're interested, do not hesitate to contact me –I'd love to be your teacher!

Private lessons: Learning Dutch is easy!Hello,
I am a 22 year old student who has always been in a Dutch-speaking school system. My family is of Flemish but French-speaking origin so I have always played with both at home. Thanks to this it is very easy for me to initiate Dutch with simple and structured explanations while adapting to the student's level. My goal is to teach the student Dutch in a fun way, because contrary to its reputation, Dutch is a beautiful and fun language when you know it. You or your children will appreciate the patience and motivation I have when it comes to initiation.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. MayoFor the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.
You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.
My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.
In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.
What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!
In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.
I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!
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.

✨French teacher - Pass the DELF or DALF (French diploma) - Individual or group session. ✨Hello, I am Majda, French language teacher. I have been giving private lessons online since 2018.
I offer special sessions that meet your needs and objectives to successfully complete your DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) or DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), including the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have been supporting many interested people of different nationalities thanks to online courses since 2018; For me, helping enthusiasts to practice the French language is a very good experience because I understand that success is a capital objective in the life of ambitious people.
I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, and also English. I explain my lessons in the language of your choice. And at the end of each session, I give lessons with exercises to do as homework to examine your gaps and monitor your progress.
Here are some things to know about the DELF and DALF:
The DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two official and quality diplomas. They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences.
In addition, the DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow students to enter French, European or French-speaking universities, and certain Grandes Ecoles.
Will you have DELF or DALF exams to pass? Do you need to follow specific sessions with me to improve your level?
Don't hesitate to book your sessions so that we can start the preparation.
I am available !

German Language for Beginners (Deutsch - A1 und A2)German as a foreign language can be hard, especially regarding the grammar part. Always focusing on the structures of the sentences can be challenging and demotivating when trying to connect the sentences in a communication environment. That is why with the help of this class, you'll get more confident in building strong sentences without the stress usually involved.
As a foreign speaker of German of over 3 years, there's no other person that understands the struggles better than I do. We will cover all the fundamentals with the background of grammar and syntax so that we are able to create a strong base for future advanced levels.
Sebastian
Fun and Effective German course with Money-Back-Guarantee!I am a German native speaker and general language enthusiast. Besides German, I speak English, Swedish, Spanish, French, and Italian. Having learned 6 languages myself, I am 100% convinced that I will successfully teach you German (in a fun and relaxed manner)!
I have been teaching since 2018 and am currently one of the most-reviewed teachers on this platform. I encourage you to pause here and have a look at my reviews. I am confident that you too will have a similar view after having had some classes with me. On top of teaching here on Apprentus, I have taught offline group classes for the Volksuniversiteit The Hague (A Volksuniversiteit (litt. folk university) is an institute for non-formal adult education in the Netherlands). I also taught for and underwent training with Berlitz, which is one of, if not THE largest language school in the world, operating in over 70 countries and 500+ locations.
I am 33 years old, have an honours degree from Leiden University, The Hague, am calm, encouraging, and, most importantly, PATIENT. My main objective in classes is to make the student feel relaxed and at ease. I encourage you to speak without fear of making mistakes. In fact, I celebrate making mistakes. "Why?", you may ask. Well, making mistakes means that you are leaving your comfort zone. You are trying something that you are not already skilled at. You don't choose the easy path! People who never make mistakes are stagnant. Therefore, making mistakes should be CELEBRATED instead of shunned! So, good on you for mispronouncing "Nachmittag (Afternoon)", or using the wrong grammar when making a sentence! Here, let me help you get it right this time! :)
Do you already have German knowledge? No problem! Instead of building the basics, we can design classes that meet your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can hold presentations about topics of your interests or topics that I provide, we can discuss current events, hold debates, you can write news-paper article summaries, or we deep dive into advanced grammar. Whatever it is that you enjoy and need: We can do it together.
All my classes combine speaking, listening & grammar exercises in interaction with me. Unless you're a very advanced student, we will work with learning materials created by some of the best publishers for language learning in Germany. These materials serve as a red thread for our course that introduces new words, grammar, and exercises in a good pace and interesting manner which keeps you engaged and motivated. Furthermore, I show you German food, music, and places. On top of that, I introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level!
Another important factor for me is having a personal connection. Unless you prefer to "stick to business", which is fine as well, we typically start our classes by talking about how the weekend or preceding weekdays have been. I don't see my students as a resource to be extracted, but as people for whom I develop a genuine interest. Over the course of time, we both know what is going on in our respective lives and update each other about small or big life events. Having taught many students for multiple years, I can gladly say that I have made real friends thanks to our classes, some of whom I even have met in real life.
I am extremely confident that you very soon will have the same success that I have had in learning languages!
So what are you waiting for? Get in touch now to book a first lesson in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn about you, your needs, and your wishes, which will allow us to design the optimal course for you.
See you soon!
Bis bald!
