My prices include a feedback sheet after each lesson. This includes detailed comments and suggestions about the grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary of the lesson.Before classes start, you will receive a short questionnaire to determine your level, needs and interests. This serves as the basis of our program, and ensures that it is completely personalized. In addition, you can always inform me when you have other occasional needs that you want to work on during the lesson (reports, presentations, vacation in an English-speaking country...). We will do regular reviews during classes, and I will ask you to do some homework at home, according to your schedule.
I adapt my lessons to your specific needs, while taking into account key skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar and pronunciation). Regarding the latter, I can also teach the phonetic alphabet.
In addition to Business English, I provide assistance with texts and reports (proofreading).
The courses are yours, and the goal is for them to be educational, interesting, motivating, and for you to see that you are making progress. I am friendly, empathetic, patient, and I can provide you with solid and, above all, authentic recommendations.

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.

Homework help for primary and secondary schools, Help with exam preparationI offer my services to help your children achieve their academic goals, whether it is for the little ones who are discovering reading and writing, or for teenagers in the middle of preparing for exams. I also have experience with university students who needed a helping hand in certain subjects.
Patient and attentive, I adapt to the specific needs of each student, offering them personalized support to help them progress at their own pace and with confidence.
In terms of education, I followed a Preparatory Class for the Grandes Écoles in France (literature, philosophy, history, geography and languages), and obtained a bachelor's degree in English Language, Literature and Civilization. I then continued with a master's degree in British and American translation and civilization. I had the chance to work for two years at the Lycée Français Jean Monnet in Brussels, where I acquired solid experience with students of all ages and a good understanding of the expectations of the school system.
I would be happy to discuss this with you and see how I can contribute to its success.

Apart from playing music, one of my other passions is teaching. As my profession requires, I’m calm, communicative and have quite a lot of patience. I’m fluent in Romanian and English, however I’m able to have basic conversations in Russian as well and I’m in the process of learning Dutch.
Do you want to start learning English? Or maybe you’ve studied English many years ago and you’d like to improve? Are you preparing yourself for a trip or even a new job in Romania?
Don't hesitate to contact me and I’ll make sure to help you reach your goals! :)

I lived in Great Britain for 7 years and in particular taught French as a foreign language at the University of Edinburgh. I also have several years of experience as an English teacher in Belgium. My course materials come from several teaching methods but I am also ready to create new lessons according to my learner.
I am ready to come to my student's home but I can also adapt my video course given the current circumstances.

Sofia
English for beginners and intermediates - written and oralWho the courses are for: anyone who wants to learn English from scratch or who wants to improve their level of English (up to B2). I am also happy to teach children.
The location: I would like the location not to be too far from the city, preferably in a library or a quiet place. I can also teach at home, but this will have to be discussed with my roommates.
Availability: I do not yet know the final hours of my internship, but in principle I will not be available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. From then on, I am available, especially on weekends.
The method: At the beginning, it is a good idea to do a test according to the level you want to achieve in order to determine which are the most important aspects to improve. Then the lessons will be organized according to the student's personal or professional interests, because I think it is more effective and more fun to learn a language when you combine learning with something you love. I will use my creativity to promote smooth and engaging learning.
