Hello there, my name is Fern. I was born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland where I have worked until today, after traveling and working in Asia and the Middle East in recent years. I have always given conversational practice lessons to students whose language I do not speak. Indeed, my mother tongue is English and I do not speak French or Dutch :) My method therefore involves a total immersion in the English language which will help you use the right tenses, the right formulas and idiomatic expressions and to perfect your fluency and your accent. I teach online or at my home in Ixelles. Looking forward to meeting you! See you soon.Location

West Coast (California) English. Learn by playing! We walk, we talk, I correct! FUN! I know you speak English! I WILL FIX IT!Hello! If you can understand this message without having to translate then you are ready for my help! I am from California, and have been living here in Brussels since 2012. I am 39 years old. I speak West Coast (California) English. It's the English you hear in your favorite California movies. I love to help friends who already speak "European street English" while HAVING FUN! Did you know that 70% of learning a language is learned OUTSIDE of a classroom setting? So I propose we go to the park, we cook together, we go on a bike ride, we draw, we play. And of course we will talk a lot. When I hear an error I will correct you in a fun way, writing things for you, with FUN AND REAL examples, with drawings, ALWAYS STAYING 100% in English. That's correct, I will only speak English to you, because as you and I both know, you already speak English, and you have understood everything (or maybe 70%) of everything I just wrote. What you want is to improve or perfect your spoken English (we can work on writing, too). Immersion and fun, West Coast Style. And my university degree? Yes, I have two of them, in Languages and Literatures, and I speak 4 fully fluent languages, but for now I want you to learn by HAVING FUN! My friends can tell you how fun it is to learn with me. HOPE WE GET TO PLAY TOGETHER SOON! You can do it! Groups ok.

English - learn by doing (from perfecting the language to teaching the basics to upgrading)In the case of tutoring, I base my lessons on the subject seen by the student by explaining to him in another way with many examples and by making him practice as much as possible.
In case of learning the basics, I have set up my own totally interactive method so that the student can practice and during which I speak almost only in English to be close to immersion during the lessons.
Do not hesitate to contact me for:
- learn the basics
- prepare for a test
- have support for your lessons
- practice the language
- ...
Whatever your needs, I take a practical and fun approach to English because, in my opinion, it is the best way to learn.

Feel stuck? Let's take your English to the next levelSince I believe that the learning environment is one of the keys to successful language learning, I endeavor to make students feel comfortable and content in my lessons: to ask questions if they are unsure and keep an easy but rewarding pace of learning.
Depending on how my students feel they learn English most effectively, I adapt my lessons to use materials that give them the best results possible. For instance, some students find the continuity of a coursebook effective, while others prefer to be more flexible with articles and podcasts. I know from experience that every student is unique.

English Tutoring for Comfort at Work and to Pass ExamsI specialise in tutoring English for European Union professional exams (e.g., AST - AD promotion exams and 'retour' interpretation exams), for other exams (SAT, GMAT, GRE, FCE, CAE, CPE, IELTS. TOEFL), for thesis submission, and for other professional work, particularly English for auditors, legal, financial and ambassadorial advisors, business people, project managers, salespeople, physicians, scientists, and academic students.
All courses are individually tailored to the student's needs and students are invited to supply their own materials from work. Courses usually focus on passing an exam or on achieving a sense being able to work comfortably in English with native or non-native English speakers.

English Conversation Adults, oral expression, grammar, vocabulary, English expressionsBachelor 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.

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

Learn German or English with an ex-patriéGerman-American offers its humble services to accompany you in learning its mother tongues, whether it's for exam success or just for the simple pleasure of better understanding the words of Goethe or Faulkner.
