About Me

My name is Kevin and I am from Dublin in Ireland. I am 24 years old and I am back in Brussels for work for a few months. I have taught a number of students in the last few years at home (mostly maths classes). I have also reviewed numerous documents/papers for non-native English speaker colleagues and friends. My classes will be adapted heavily to the level of the student, whether that students needs to work on basic verbs/grammar/conversation or whether the student is near-fluent and simply wants to eliminate any minor flaws. Classes will have a large focus on speaking the language as opposed to rote learning, as this will enable the student to achieve a greater level of comfort in speaking English.

Education

MA in International Relations (Global Conflict in the Modern Era) from Leiden University in the Netherlands, 2019-2020.
- Thesis: Fiddling while Juba burns: Why did the implementation of the Responsibility to Protect doctrine in South Sudan from 2005-2018 fail?

BA (Hons) in History and Political Science from Trinity College Dublin, 2014-2018 (First Class Honours). I specialized in comparative politics and 20th-century history. I also spent half a year on Erasmus at the University of Bologna.

Experience / Qualifications

I have four years experience of tutoring students, mostly in maths classes (there is not as much demand for English tutoring in Ireland).

Annelise
Native English teacher for children and teenagers.
I've been teaching English to small children up to teenagers at École Française Internationale. I give lessons for beginners and intermediate levels. I mix between French and English so the pupil doesn't get too confused, but also allows them to understand every detail. For beginners, we usually talk about our surroundings, what's close to us and what affects us on a daily basis. (Numbers, directions, the weather, asking simple questions, what's a noun and pronoun and where to put them in a sentence). I like to find playful activities so that the pupil/student is in control of their work. It also stimulates their motivation. Of course, this is an example for a certain age group, but it also varies depending on their knowledge and their age. For intermediates, we make basic conversation. Ex: How do you go to school; What do you do in your free time? ; What's the weather like? The lessons depend on whether the student is learning for their personal knowledge or if it's for school. -------------------------------- The start of the course with a new learner consists of detecting their level by talking about their background, what they already know, what they must master in order to no longer have any gaps. The first lesson also allows the learner to get comfortable and get to know me to establish mutual trust. That’s why I use a touch of my British humor to achieve this. (I generally do this at the start of the lesson with my students to establish a good mood and they are always delighted!) To help the learner better engage with the learning, I will ask them what their passions/hobbies are, this who interests him to arouse interest in learning. I will adapt my lessons on subjects that speak to him more. Depending on age and level of knowledge of English, the method will vary. I play with songs if it's for vocabulary or accent, it helps me memorize better and what's better in song... Everyone listens to music! No matter the reason for the course, if it is to improve oral, written, reading or listening comprehension, I organize audio sessions, readings, everything necessary to deepen the language using the active pedagogy that I learned during my CAP training. I can play the news from the BBC news channel, the weather forecast, the trailer for a film. My goal is for the learner to evolve gradually with as few gaps as possible.

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.

Julie
English lessons for beginners and advanced by webcam
Hey you! Do you want to learn English or improve it? You are in the right place! English is one of the most common and useful languages in the world, whether for work, travelling, watching series in original version, understanding your favorite American or English star... What? An English course for both beginners and advanced, both for children and adults... we discover the basics of the language, grammar and useful vocabulary in a fun way, or we deepen these knowledge, with some revisions if necessary. Obviously, we will tackle all skills: reading, writing, speaking and hearing. Who? I'm Julie, a fan of languages, I've already mastered almost four, and I always want to discover new ones. English has (almost) no more secrets for me. I'm also a photographer and a photography teacher on the side, so I have a background in building lessons with lots of practice. How? For one to two hours (two hours recommended to progress more efficiently), I always prepare my lessons specially and in an up-to-date way, using recent articles, relevant and useful vocabulary on a daily basis. Classes are currently only taking place online, as I am not in Belgium. When? Well, whenever you want! As soon as possible, to improve your English tomorrow! So what are you waiting for?

Homework help for primary and secondary schools, Help with exam preparation
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.

Serdane
English courses for high school students or adults
My name is Serdane and I offer English lessons to high school students and adults who find it difficult to develop a way of working that suits them. Extroverted and bubbly... and above all, full of humor! I believe that language learning is based above all on the development of an appropriate learning method. Some learn languages intuitively by engaging in conversations. Others, on the contrary, need rigorous exposure to grammatical concepts before launching into conversations. There are as many ways to learn as there are students... That's why I adapt my lessons to everyone's needs, and above all, I try to help each student discover what works for him, so that he can continue to progress independently. My areas of expertise: - Enhancement - catching up - Grammar reviews - Conversation course - Work method (organization, schedule of revisions, etc.) My price includes complete academic support (private lessons, the possibility of asking questions outside of class hours, writing and correcting questions, etc.). I produce all of my course materials for each student. So there is no need for you to buy a learning book. However, if you are already working from a book, it is entirely possible for me to adapt to it. Nice to meet you! :-)

Keir
English & French - classes /support for children, teenagers and adults
What to expect? Young children - More of a game/activity learning method but also involves learning a broad scheme of things. It is in a way, an introduction to the basics of the language. Teenagers - Usually involve set goals to reach by a certain period (for school). The teaching method and intensity depends on the amount of catching up to do. If no catch up is required a more friendly learning method can be applied depending on the learner's interests. Adults - More of a discussion-based learning method, depending on the experience of the learner. And can be oriented more towards specific subjects or domains chosen by the learner. It can involve course work or tasks to be done. Why me? I was born in Scotland but I grew up mostly in the french-speaking part of Belgium so I would say that both English and French are my natal languages. I have decent knowledge of the various English cultures, vocabulary, and grammar. Having traveled for a year in North America and having lived in Australia, Ireland, and Britain. My mother is an english teacher in a secondary school and has given private english lessons ever since we moved to Belgium when I was six years old . I have participated or helped in many classes when needed. I have access to a ton of material and her personal knowledge if I or we are experiencing a problem that we can't seem to solve. Or an issue the learner is experiencing that is preventing him/her from advancing. I am a very "auto-ditact" person who tries to maximize the resources I have and the ones I have access to. I am good at understanding and solving problems and I believe that I can apply this to teaching as well. I am a very professional person that tries to stay as relaxed and calm as possible. I am also extremely patient and have a lot of dedication. If there is a deadline and a goal to meet, I will try my very best to make things work. Additional info I also know the humiliation that we sometimes feel when speaking a foreign language. I try to be as impartial and non-judgemental as I can in order to make the person feel as relaxed as possible when communicating with them.

Conversation, grammar, reading and listening exercises in English
I am comfortable giving you language lessons, either focusing on grammar, conversation, or reading and comprehension exercises. I have a degree from Cambridge University, so you will learn classical English and not dialectic. In the first lesson we will discuss the book that we will use, which depends on your requirements and your level.
