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.

I am a native English speaker and have attained an AA* in English language and English literature GCSE. I have also taken the SAT (old version) and recieved a 720 in the reading section and a 770 in the writing. For students with a low level of English, I have achieved an A* grade in French GCSE and am currently finishing my French A Level with an A* predicted, so lessons do not have to be taught exclusively in English.
I will be available from the beginning of July to the end of September.

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.

Mathematics Physics Chemistry Latin Portuguese Spanish French Italian Dutch English GermanI have been tutoring mathematics, physics, chemistry, Latin and language courses in Latin languages, Portuguese, Spanish, French and Italian for more than 15 years, from basic or beginner level to grammar school level. For primary school students, also arithmetic with fractions and percents and all other modules. Also Dutch grammar and spelling.
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.
