Enseignant diplômé (DEEM, à savoir niveau secondaire II) en latin et en grec, je propose des cours de latin et de grec (tous niveaux, du secondaire I à l'université), qu'il s'agisse de soutien scolaire, de rattraper des années pour intégrer une section avec latin/grec ou une formation demandant des connaissances de latin/grec ou simplement de se (re)plonger dans l'étude des langues anciennes.
En outre, utilisant régulièrement l'allemand, que ce soit dans mon activité d'enseignant ou dans celle d'arbitre (aussi bien sur le terrain que dans le cadre de traductions que j'effectue pour swiss unihockey), je donne également volontiers des cours d'allemand, que ce soit comme soutien scolaire ou par exemple pour se préparer à un diplôme de langues (je suis d'ailleurs titulaire du Goethe-Zertifikat C1).
Enfin, les langues anciennes représentant un atout indéniable pour l'étude des langues modernes, en particulier des langues romanes, je propose également un soutien en français, notamment en orthographe et en grammaire, pour l'école bien entendu, mais aussi pour les personnes qui souhaiteraient simplement améliorer leur orthographe et/ou leur manière de s'exprimer par écrit.

During the supervision of your maturity work, I accompany you during all the stages. From the "roughing out of the subject" to the defense of the work.
We look at the problem together, like writing a scientific work, a summary that presents the conclusions of the work. Several rereadings of it.
For those who present themselves as a free candidate, I can be your accompanying person.

You will learn Latin the way it was meant to be learned - through conversation! Medieval scholars and contemporary language researchers alike advocate the use of dialogues and comprehensible input for language acquisition, and it most certainly works! As opposed to the "memorise grammar rules and then babble them in front of the class" approach that was demonstrated by the infamous "Romanēs eunt domus" scene from Monty Python's "The Life of Brian", you will learn to feel the grammar, so that you will be able to use the different cases of Latin without even thinking about it, just like a native speaker!
For this class we will be using the following books, depending on the learner's level:
Hans Øreberg's "Lingua Latīna per sē Illustrāta"
"Corderiī Colloquia"
Erasmus Rask's "Colloquia Familiaria"
John C. Traupman Conversational Latin for Oral Proficiency
I will be the collocutor and I will answer the learner's questions and explain certain oddities solely in Latin (I will use a second language only when the situation calls for it)
We will also engage in free-form conversations, discussions of the dialogues, of our life experiences etc so that the learner can apply what they learn to real-life situations and expand their vocabulary

This class offers insight into the German language, where the students learn how to write, speak and comprehend the basics of the German language. Through individual and (sometimes) group activities, students work on improving pronunciation, practising conversation strategies and expanding vocabulary.

I offer careful proofreading, both in terms of content and form, of written work such as internship reports, senior work, end-of-study dissertations, dissertations, comments or reading sheets.
I correct language errors: grammar, syntax, language register, spelling. I also suggest possibly bringing in other sources and rectifying the structure of the work if necessary.

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

I am native German and I can teach my language in all levels, for children and adults. More than ten years of experience. My focus is the grammar and the conversation. German has a lot of grammar and I always try to teach how the language works and how german people actually speak it, not only how to follow the rules. We'd do a lot of speaking, exercices, games or interactive activities. Depending on your level, there are also lessons in german history, german politics and differences between german, austrian or swiss german.

Latin, German, and French don't have to be difficult – with clear explanations, targeted exercises, and individualized support, students of all levels can achieve their goals. In this course, I'll guide you from the basics to the Matura (high school diploma), preparing you specifically for exams such as the Gymnasium (gymnasium), BMS (university entrance qualification), HMS (university entrance qualification), FMS (university entrance qualification), and language certificates. The lessons are structured, understandable, and tailored to your needs – for lasting learning success and increased self-confidence.

Hallo! Duits is zeker geen gemakkelijke taal, maar zelfverzekerd kunnen communiceren in het Duits zal je enorm helpen, zowel persoonlijk als professioneel. Ik help je daar graag bij en leer je mijn moedertaal met enthousiasme en leergierigheid. Waar wacht je nog op? Los geht's - lass uns gemeinsam durchstarten (laten wij samen beginnen)!!

This course is aimed at learners with intermediate knowledge of Mandarin who wish to further develop their oral expression, writing and reading comprehension skills.

Together we will talk, read, and write about everyday and current topics (from studying, work, and travel to social media and Chinese culture). You will learn to conduct conversations more fluently, write clearly structured texts, and better understand authentic materials (articles, short essays, stories).

In class, we work with dialogues, role-playing, discussions, writing assignments with individual feedback, and reading strategies. In doing so, we discover Mandarin as the most widely spoken language in the world and as a language with a great future in both professional and everyday life.

The course is intended for participants aged 18 and over.

Do you need to improve your English so that you can participate fluently and confidently in business meetings, presentations, webinars, telephone conversations or interviews? You may be aiming for a job in the EU institutions or other organisations in Brussels. Or you could be working in an international company or studying for a Masters or another qualification...

I have been a qualified, professional English teacher and translator for more than 20 years. My courses enable learners to actively produce the language, repeat useful expressions until they are habitual and correct mistakes until they are removed. Although I am happy to explain and practice grammatical issues, the focus is on effective, correct and appropriate communication by using visual material, videos, interesting topics for discussion and challenging quizzes. As I have advanced knowledge of French, German and Czech, I can particularly appreciate and correct the issues speakers of these languages have in English, but this is also the case for Dutch speakers.

There is also the possibility of specialist English courses in the areas linked to my experience (see below): how the EU works; environmental, energy, regional or agricultural policies; economics.

- Advisor in EU policies and funding for 12 years (regional policy, economic development)
- Director of a regional representation to the EU and member of a management team
- Certificate in TESOL with business
- BA(Honours) in Modern Languages & Modern History, Oxford University
- Post-graduate in Economics, London University
