DIY skills are very vital especially when you have a certain budget to adhere to after you consult your nearest Home Depot or Brico and find out that quotation cost and estimations are quite expensive! With my assistance you could cut cost and get your home or renovations done in your own unique time, pace, style, budget and taste especially in the era of DIY! I could either assist you or take charge...the ball is in your court!
The aforementioned categories are vital in everyday routine especially for naturally timid and introverted professional aspirant in public speaking, debates, announcements, storytelling, speeches. To reach certain efficiency professionally in terms of intonations, pitch, range, eloquence, fluidity, stress patterns, vocal exercise, flexible volume, uninterrupted flow, suspenseful pause, voice partitioning, etc., even for non-beginners, one needs the right set of assistance...and am excellent at all of the above! Focus is to learn and enhance skills in story-telling smoothness, speech making competences and public speaking proficiency with ease. Beginners and intermediate are welcome...no one should ever relent from learning and acquiring new set of skills or enhancement!

Spanish & English Lessons with Erika in Belgium :)
Teaching is my passion, and as a native speaker, I've had the pleasure of connecting with students worldwide, starting from my experiences in the Czech Republic where I used to teach English to children. We can delve into the intricacies of communication, focusing on what matters to you. I prepare students for tests like DELE and SIELE, tailoring my approach to your unique goals—whether it's acing an exam, exploring the world, or simply diving into language and culture. My lessons take a casual twist—we might stroll around, grab a coffee or tea, and make learning an enjoyable experience. The best part for me is when students express gratitude for our time together. I believe language is more than just words, and I look forward to sharing my perspective with you. Can't wait to meet you and start this language journey together!

Patrick
English as a Foreign Language for Children or Adults
As someone with degrees in both philosophy and psychology my background allows me to draw on principles from the science of learning to help students make meaningful progress without wasted effort. In my past experience as a tutor and special educator, I have learned to create lessons that are efficient, focused, and tailored to each learner’s goals. I study other languages myself, so I understand firsthand the challenges that come with language learning. I use that experience to offer practical strategies that help students overcome common obstacles and stay motivated. Whether you're looking to build confidence in conversation, break out of a vocabulary-learning rut, improve your writing, or sharpen your understanding of grammar, I can help guide your progress with clarity and purpose. (Bonus: It so happens that I am originally from New York City, so if you're looking to learn with someone who has a clear and recognizably American accent, you’re in the right place).

Become fluent in English! Recent graduate of the world's number 1 public university—University of California, Berkeley.
I learned English in 3 months before moving to the USA in 2021. My method will help you achieve your goals! As a recent graduate of the University of California, Berkeley—ranked the number 1 public university in the US and the world—my greatest asset is undoubtedly the cultural richness that my studies have brought me. I believe the best way to learn is through interaction. I organize my classes around my students, their interests, and their areas for improvement! I currently teach English to international students at my university. I also help with a writing club and elementary school students. One of my strengths is communication; I'm very comfortable speaking. For example, I gave the 2023 Graduation speech at my previous institution in Santa Barbara. I'm here to help you achieve your goals!

Tests! Exams! Resits and resits? I'll help you through it.
Biology, physics, chemistry and French and English. The best study results are achieved with regular study and keeping up with the study material. Lack of sufficient basis for progress can be remedied. Through years of experience I have developed a coaching method in which the pupil, student or coachee as a person is central with an eye for context and specific circumstances.

Lise
French and English certified courses from A1 to C2 level
French and English are such beautiful and useful langages. With me you'll be able to practice your writing, reading, listening but also your speaking skills without any judgement. We'll have funny discussions and I'll show you that French is not that difficult. Having langages skills looks great on a CV but also enables you to show off to your friends and family. For children, I had many experiences as an English tutor in France, I would be very pedagogical to help kids learn while having fun.

Diana
Italians at all levels - children, children and children
Les Italiens sont mon Mother tongue. With great passion, I want to teach the beautiful Italian language according to your needs. Do you need to learn more about your school life... for your private and professional life? Does your child need help doing their homework? It is important to know that the nature of the matter is similar to the nature of the person who consults you. I work in a natural way, and from the first lesson you will be able to speak simple sentences. As a general rule, I teach my lessons in Italian, so that you get effective 'full immersion' from the start (support languages such as Dutch, English or French are used if absolutely necessary). I will teach you how Italian grammar works and how to best conduct a conversation with a native speaker. I teach you the language that is spoken today and Italian through fun and interactive lessons.

University student gives Latin lessons in Brussels
Having studied Latin for years at the Institut Saint-Boniface Parnasse, I offer Latin lessons for secondary school students (from the first year to rheto) or people who wish to improve their mastery of the language.

Corinne
English: pronunciation (British or American). No grammar lessons. Adults only.
I have facilitated workshops and given classes throughout my career all over the world. English pronunciation is essential these days because English is spoken everywhere and all the time. I followed specialized training such as the verb tonal method, Feldenkrais or mental coaching. We are therefore going to work in a slightly different way by combining articulatory techniques, movement, rhythm, intonation, warming up of the jaw and tongue, stretching of the neck, neck and shoulders to arrive to very fast results.
