About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Retired translator/journalist, father of 4 children (all university students), I have always been convinced that knowledge, like culture, is meant to be shared. It is therefore with great pleasure that I strive to share what I think I master best, namely languages.
Supporter of a study of the language based on practical exercises rather than on the assimilation of sometimes somewhat tedious rules (an unfortunately essential step for good mastery of the language), I believe that homework is part of the learning process. learning, which implies a certain motivation on the part of the student.

Education

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Degree in translation (English/Italian section) - Degree in journalism and communication, information section (ULB)
Fluent in Dutch, diploma from the Business Language School.

Experience / Qualifications

I'm really enjoying my lessons with Claude. My french has really improved in the months I've been studying with him. He always takes the time to explain new concepts and vocabulary carefully (and where possible in French). I'm sure I will be continuing my lessons with Claude for the foreseeable future!
Claude's lesson has been a really nice experience. He provides both a great mix of listening, speaking and practical learning activities and a very safe, supportive learning environment.

Anastasia
Young teacher offers dynamic French lessons to all levels
Bonjour! My name is Anastasia, I am a 24 years old French native and I am here to help you improve your French skills. I have been teaching students of various levels from all around the world for over 5 years. I have helped students prepare for French exams like the DELF, as well as those who are planning to move to a French-speaking country and need real-life language skills. I understand the challenges of learning a language, having learned two languages myself: English and Portuguese, and plan to learn more. I have faced difficulties, hit walls, and overcome them, and I believe that my experience as a language learner makes me a well-rounded teacher. However, I do not claim to know everything about teaching, as I am constantly learning. I tailor my teaching method to best suit the needs of my students. I use interactive resources such as images, videos, and texts to help my students learn effectively. For beginners, I recommend trying out the Pimsleur method, which is a 30-minute audio lesson based on gradual interval recall. This method reviews learned vocabulary at increasingly longer intervals and has been used by the CIA. If you are interested, we can discuss how to use this method together. I offer French lessons remotely through Skype, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams or at the students place. When the lesson is online, I use a platform that allows us to see and modify documents, images, and videos in real-time, which is very useful. I would be happy to help you on your French learning journey.

I aim my lesson at Dutch speakers who want to learn French, who have difficulties with it at school, or who simply want to refine their conversation skills. French is my native language, and I have studied Latin and Greek, which gave me a deeper understanding of French grammar and language.

Jérôme
FLE French course - tutoring - FOS (French objective) - I deliver French lessons to children, teens and adults.
FLE teacher graduated from the Alliance française Bruxelles-Europe. I taught in Laos (1 year in a local school) in Peru (1 year in a college and in a French alliance), in Moscow (2 years in a private language school), in Brussels (6 month in an association that delivers courses to newcomers and the F9 for private and group lessons at the ULB). The type of teaching that I favor is based on active pedagogy, constant interaction of the learner with his teacher and his environment, a cultural exchange and a clear and precise understanding of the objectives to be achieved. To apply this practice I use a lot: authentic documents (radio and TV programs, articles, reports, songs, testimonials, ...), the role play (theatrical exercises), games are a founding element of my teaching (playful and recreational approach of the language), the debates (the experience and the personal history being the raw material to animate them), reading (books and comics: phonetics), the grammatical exercises in adequacy with the theme ( didactics of FLE and grammatical methodology)

Lina

French lessons: express, write, understand simple and more complex sentences.
We live in a world where knowledge of languages has become an almost essential asset. In my classes, I suggest that you acquire rapid knowledge in order to be able to express yourself easily in concrete everyday situations. The goal is that at the end of your learning, you will be able to express, write and understand simple and more complex sentences without making mistakes. To do this, a practical and fun methodology is made available to you as well as individual monitoring of your progress as well as exercises adapted to your level.

Private French lessons - all levels (French as a foreign language / advanced oral and written skills)
The French language, what a hassle! Learning French is a real obstacle course !! Between the words that are not pronounced as they are written, the feminine / masculine, the conjugation of sleeping upright, the accents .... I am here to give you (re) taste this beautiful language thanks to a playful learning and inspired by speech therapy techniques. Depending on demand, we can work on the lexicon as well as reading, spelling, or even understanding text. I am also open to other areas. My journey : I obtained the speech therapist diploma at Marie Haps in 2019, while giving private lessons for a long time in parallel with my studies. Currently, I am a graduate of the Master's degree in speech therapy with a specialized focus.
