    French lessons for professionnal or social needs. Native speaker teacher with a lot of experience in Brussels!

    I'm a 33 years old french teacher and I've been living here in Brussels for 11 years, 8 of them as a french teacher. Before that I studied political sciences and had a couple of experiences in public communication.
    As a teacher, I gave classes in languages centers (such as Berlitz or Semantics), so I worked and continue working in different environments like lawyer cabinets, hospitals, companies or NGO based in Brussels or with people learing french through unemployment programs). But I also give private lessons, like the one we might do together. This brought me to work with different linguistic, cultural and professionnal backgrounds as well as with very different age classes (from 5 to 65).
    My class is essentially based on improving communication skills, that is to say that I give an advantage to the practice of verbal expression, through simulations (of professional situations, like doing a public presentation or conducting a meeting,...) and conversation (around documents and medias like articles, audiovisual items,...).
    Nevertheless, when learning or doing the revision of grammar points is needed, I organize grammar items to work on too (the use of the subjonctif, la concordance des temps, how to express hypothesis,...). For that, I use primarly the book Grammaire Progressive du Français but can also use different material (I worked with some product of the editions Alter Ego more centered on workplace oriented needs for example).
    So my methode is "taylor-made" as I adapt the content around the needs of each students in term of their communication objectives.
    Don't hesitate to ask me if I forgot to mention anything in this quick profile!

    Private French lessons - improvement and oral and written practice

Follow-up of tutoring provided and detailed review of unmastered material. Correction of pronunciation if necessary. Classes can be given in English or Italian if necessary. No very young children.

    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.

    Homework help and French-English-German-Italian-Spanish language lessons
    I have supported a large number of students with homework help (all branches combined) as well as with language lessons. Having also worked for several years as a school substitute, I have accumulated experience and am familiar with the requirements required in class. Polyglot, I master French, English, German, Spanish and Italian and am able to explain the grammar, as well as to propose nice exercises to learn these languages. I think it's important to keep a relaxed and playful atmosphere during the lessons :-) Do not hesitate to contact me if you want more information.

    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.

    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)
