Being a student myself, I have the advantage of understanding the student.
I think that studying a language is not only about learning vocabulary lists.
I have been teaching for 7 years, and have already helped around fifty students of different ages.
My Erasmus in Manchester in a situation of total bilingualism has enriched the way I teach and I can pride myself on guaranteeing a fast and pleasant progression! ;)
-> NOBODY has "no gift" for languages, the key is just to let you guide.
Extra information
I have all the necessary manuals and computer supports

○ I support students full time, it's my job (it's not a hobby) ○

✦ Guarantee of success, 98% of exams validated from 2017 to 2023, 95% from 2015 to 2017. Your success is important to me, I make it a real personal matter ✦

Dear future students/parents of students: Dutch is indeed poorly taught in French-speaking schools.
But, yes, we can learn to appreciate it (Or stop being afraid of it?)

My classes are often punctuated with laughter, I am not a fan of the strict-rigid atmosphere of some schools. Nevertheless, I make it a point of honor to ensure that this benevolence does not affect the learning and progress of the student.

✦ Effective and pragmatic teaching technique ✦

I combine learning grammar (essential for beginners) with numerous practical exercises and role-playing situations to ensure that the student will be able to cope in the real world.

Above all, I transform language into a kind of game/code that must be deciphered. It is then enough to "grasp" the logic

I have a plethora of paper materials but work mainly using PowerPoints and other fun and interactive tools projected on my TV/computer screen when the course is held online.

✎✎ 2 theory syllabuses; 2 exercise syllabuses provided free of charge with our courses


✦ We are a team, don't skimp on contacts ✦

■ I can be reached by email, text message, or WhatsApp: for your questions, clarifications, requests between classes
■ Follow-up for parents (how to manage a student who is failing/having academic difficulties, how to help them in a practical way, reports of our courses).
■ My courses are tax deductible, I can provide invoices

○ I teach and interpret English full time. It is not a hobby, but rather the professional continuation of my Bachelor and Master degrees ○

✦ Guarantee of success, no student involved has ever failed, I make it a real personal matter ✦

Effective and pragmatic teaching technique

Good news: I believe that studying a language is not limited to long lists of vocabulary. My classes take place in a relaxed and caring atmosphere, I am not in favor of the strict framework of some schools

In class, we combine learning grammar (a crucial and comforting foundation for beginners) with numerous practical exercises and role-playing exercises so that the student can manage on their own in the real world.

Above all, I transform language into a kind of game/code that must be deciphered. It is then enough to "grasp" the logic... It is "enough" of course - but that is my job - I will take care of it!

I have a myriad of paper materials but I prefer PowerPoints and other fun, interactive tools projected on my TV/computer screen when the course is online.

➤ 2 theory syllabuses; 1 exercise syllabus provided free of charge with our courses


✦ We are a team, get involved; write to me outside of class ✦

■ I don't forget the parents (how to manage a student who is failing/having academic difficulties, how to help them in a practical way, reports of our lessons)
■ My courses are tax deductible, I can provide invoices

I like to differentiate myself from those distant teachers who don't make you want to learn.

Maybe our lessons will be the highlight of your day?
