About Me
Hi, I am Maria and English is my first language. I studied English and American Literature at California State University Northridge and Translation at Heidelberg University. Later in my life I also studied law in Belgium and specialized in public procurement and contract law. I worked for many years as a translator and administrator in the Council of the European Union. I also served on an EPSO selection board in order to recruit translators. My three children went to one of the European Schools in Brussels, so I'm familiar with how the European School system works. I have started teaching online since February 2021 and have a few open time slots which I could offer you. I also do volunteer teaching for the Ecole des devoirs de Woluwé Saint Pierre in Brussels.Education

Mandarin Chinese, 6 yrs experience, Education major (Master)Hi, I am an international student from China currently pursuing graduate studies in education. I speak Japanese, Chinese (mother tongue) and French.
I have studied in Japan, Hungary, Spain and Belgium and lived in China for 20 years. Since 2016, I have been working as a language teacher while studying and earning my undergraduate degree in Education in the aforementioned countries. I have taught more than 20 students so far, and the students and parents have responded very favorably to the results and the learning process, and have been motivated to learn a foreign language.
I strongly believe that education is not a painful process, it is not only about learning subjects, but also about motivation, mental health and proper values.
My relationship with my students is more like that of a friend; a superior teacher-student relationship can only lead to a negative reaction to the content. My students love my classes because they are filled with interesting and logical explanations, and I take every student's question seriously.
For younger students, I will use more interesting and vivid examples to explain abstract knowledge, for example: the letter "a" is a mouth with a snake next to it, in which case we will surely yell "ah". For adults who are able to think logically, I will choose to explain in a more logical way, e.g. if there is the character for fire on the left side of the Chinese word "烤", the left of the word which is "火" looks like a campfire,so any word with this "campfire" means something about fire or high temperature, and the right part can be used to deduce the pronunciation of the word.
My courses are available via Terminals, Skype, dingding, etc. If you are in Brussels then you are welcome to come to one of my offline courses!
The classes can be taught in Chinese, English.

Private English lessons: theory and practice - beginner and intermediateSchool English classes are often very theoretical and not very interactive. This is why I offer a method ranging from basic practice to complete immersion, depending on your level and / or your development.
I took English immersion courses for 4 years, in secondary school, and I found the technique motivating and very effective. I was able to carry on a daily conversation after only 4 months of learning!
I also offer courses in the form of activities for the youngest, if they wish.

Speak & write in English as soon as you could before!Cambridge University's English teacher, offers a communicative method to better speak, write, understand and read in English. My goal is to advance the student in the field that poses the most problem: are you looking for a correct pronunciation, or is it oral and / or written communication that worries you? Or are you preparing for an English exam? Or does your child have to reach a certain level at school? Do not hesitate to formulate your questions and ask them before embarking on a serious and well-targeted apprenticeship for you or your child.

Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacherI am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.
The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.
I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics.
I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.
Younes
give courses in languages and applied biochemistryMy name is Younes and I give language lessons, for me teaching means learning twice so my learning method is based on simplicity and above all you have to move forward according to the student's rhythm to allow him to learn. improve and acquire new bases and be able to assimilate new information without ever becoming saturated. Sometimes it's better to go slowly but surely. In addition, I am a young researcher in applied biochemistry and a temporary teacher at the university for 4 years, so for those who have difficulties and gaps in biochemistry, I will be there to simplify you and above all to make you discover the world. wonder of biochemistry and thank you for stopping by.

Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart.
I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches:
If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options:
1) Learn the schedules by heart.
2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m.
In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster.
My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results.
Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind.
I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics.
What will not be the subject of the course:
learn lists of verbs;
learn lists of nouns with their gender;
learn words with their translations;
memory card game;
doing school exercises;
follow the program in a notebook;
impose French grammar on the Latin language.
What matters to me in particular:
motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm;
encourage creativity;
make friends with language;
letters and their sounds
strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop;
teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart;
explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible;
breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ;
place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice.
In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy.
I look forward to meeting you.
