Hello,
I am a native French speaker, and French is my strongest language. I studied English/Spanish translation. It's important to know that the target language, the language into which we translate, is French, so the French courses in translation are very intensive. I love the French language: its expressions, its subtleties, its style, its grammar, its etymology. I enjoy expressing myself in French and I like correcting the mistakes I hear, read, and see. I studied four-fifths of the CAP (Certificat d'Aptitudes Pédagogiques - Teaching Certificate): Educational Psychology, Didactics of Disciplines, Education Law, Educational Communication, etc.
I am very supportive. I can correct a student's mistakes and help them reach a higher level. I have been to Paris several times. If I don't know the answer to a question, I promise to research it and answer it in the next session. French is my passion. I love teaching and exploring the nuances of the language.

Experience / Qualifications
I worked as a social interpreter, as a translator, as a teacher of English, Spanish and French for the FWB for 8 years, after working as teacher of English and French for individuals, for small children, children and teenagers in private schools. I also taught English as a tutor in a high school. I went to the pupils' homes to teach them English and French and help them with their difficulties. I taught English to the unemployed and Spanish to adult students in a Bachelor's degree in Tourism for 3 years. I loved that experience. I now study Spanish to reach the highest level possible. I teach English, Spanish and French, as well as Singing to students because languages and music are my 2 greatest passions ever.

Bachelor in English/Spanish Translation, and holder of a CAP diploma (Certificate of Teaching Aptitudes) I give private English lessons for pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, style, etc. through conversation. I taught English to groups of children in private schools, teenagers in remediation, then adults in the French Community of Belgium for 15 years. Belgian-American, I am native. I have traveled to London many times to visit art galleries and concerts with friends. I have stayed in the USA a large number of times because my family on my father's side lives there and family is important to me.
I provide teaching materials if necessary but a financial contribution for copies is required at the start of the course in addition to the amount of each lesson. I correct the errors by proposing one or more alternatives to the erroneous version but I do not cut the person off while they are speaking, I wait for the end of the sentence, the end of the paragraph, so as not to cut them off. fluidity. I also work by theme by providing copies with texts to read or grammar exercises to do, either at the moment or the next time. I give homework if it suits the student, otherwise, all the work is done in class, and the student reviews between sessions, for faster improvement in their level. We can also work on songs based on song lyrics. Texts based on press articles. It is necessary to be curious, to dare to ask questions, to dare to have a thirst for knowledge and a desire to learn, through trial and error. I use innovative methods. If I don't know how to answer a question, I write it down and answer it in the next class.
