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)

My name is Serdane and I offer French as a foreign language classes for teenagers and adults. Extrovert and bubbly ... and above all, a lot of humor! Languages are my passion, and I am always happy to share this passion with others.

Everyone learns in his own way. This is why I do not have a rigid method but adapt to the contrary to the specificities of each student. I evaluate its level, its strengths, its possible weaknesses or delays, and I develop my course accordingly. My priority, give confidence to the student: the French is within the reach of all!

I believe in active teaching methods: I try to involve the student as much as possible, to make him discover what works for him, so that he can continue his career independently.

My rate includes full support (private lessons, the ability to ask questions outside of class time, writing and correcting questions, etc.).

Looking forward to reading you.

I aim my lesson at Dutch speakers who want to learn French, who have difficulties with it at school, or who simply want to refine their conversation skills.
French is my native language, and I have studied Latin and Greek, which gave me a deeper understanding of French grammar and language.

Native French speaker, I've followed in Dutch education till my master that I finished in French. Therefore, I am a perfect bilingual.

The first objective is to learn / review the basics of French with the student, grammar, and a precise vocabulary.
Depending on the objectives set by the student, I can prepare appropriate lessons / materials for the courses.

I can offer conversation classes at very different levels, from informal discussions with idiomatic expressions to business negotiation dialogues.

As for the pronunciation of French, it is a real challenge because written French is often very different from its articulation.

The verbo-tonal method that I use, and which is often used by speech therapists, is particularly suitable for correcting French pronunciation for those of you who are not native French speakers, but also for native French speakers who wish to get rid of an accent.

We will work on the sounds of the language integrated into the sentence, the rhythm, the intonation and considered as a living and evolving system.

This method is very effective. You will see your progress very quickly and your self-confidence will allow you to overcome any reluctance you may have had before to express yourself in public. For others, having a more neutral pronunciation in French can be a significant asset professionally.

Spelling problems? Poor language skills? Does studying the rules seem tedious or even boring to you? That's understandable, but this might change your mind. Retired translator/journalist, I help you in the systematic study of grammar, with exercises, explanations and homework. Oral and written communication based on practice and exercises.
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.

In an increasingly connected world where people and information move almost without limits, foreign languages have become an indispensable asset. I am a self-taught language learner myself (except english and dutch that I studied properly), so I know the difficulties that some students may experience during their studies. I offer support in teaching french (which is my mother tongue). I teach both children and adults. My method also consists of encouraging speaking and correcting pronunciation, which I feel are too neglected in most teaching methods.

Specialized in teaching French and English, I offer general academic support for regular homework, preparation for the central jury or university admission exams.
I will adapt my way of working and my teaching methods according to my student and what he wants to improve: oral or written expression, grammar, reading and analysis of books (themes, characters), writing summaries of texts or arguments on subjects often given in the Central Jury exams or university admission exams.
I have experience working with teenagers and young adults, and my teaching also includes coaching. I am willing to travel to my student's home, and they are also welcome to visit me at my home (Uccle).

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.

I 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.

Studying a language is not just about memorizing lists of verbs, it is above all about being able to express oneself with confidence.
My approach is simple: clarity and practical application are my priorities. Whether it's for French (FLE), Spanish, or Italian, we'll work on what truly matters to you.
Zero blockage: We practice speaking from the beginning so that speaking becomes natural.
Current content: We use a variety of media (videos, articles, podcasts) to understand the language as it is spoken today.
School effectiveness: For students, we go straight to the essential points to unlock understanding.

My approach for our first meeting:
The first session is dedicated to your goals and interests. I like to build my lessons around your passions: this allows us to work on specific vocabulary and conversation topics that truly motivate you. A lesson tailored to you is a lesson where progress is faster.

When do we start?
