About Me

Hi, I am Maria and English is my first language. I studied English and American Literature at California State University Northridge and Translation at Heidelberg University. Later in my life I also studied law in Belgium and specialized in public procurement and contract law. I worked for many years as a translator and administrator in the Council of the European Union. I also served on an EPSO selection board in order to recruit translators. My three children went to one of the European Schools in Brussels, so I'm familiar with how the European School system works. I have started teaching online since February 2021 and have a few open time slots which I could offer you. I also do volunteer teaching for the Ecole des devoirs de Woluwé Saint Pierre in Brussels.

Bachelor of Arts, English and American Literature, California State Northridge, United States of America

Private English lessons: theory and practice - beginner and intermediate
School English classes are often very theoretical and not very interactive. This is why I offer a method ranging from basic practice to complete immersion, depending on your level and / or your development. I took English immersion courses for 4 years, in secondary school, and I found the technique motivating and very effective. I was able to carry on a daily conversation after only 4 months of learning! I also offer courses in the form of activities for the youngest, if they wish.

Assia
Anglais pour Enfants et Adolescents âgés de 2 à 17 ans
Dear parents, I'm a sympathetic, communicative, dynamic and organized person. I have a good connection with children and teenagers. I'm passionate about English language, culture and history. I'd like to share these interests with my pupils. I have 10 years of experience as an English teacher, I give individual lessons and taught in several schools in Brussels. My pedagogical values include kindness, patience, support, and some strictness. I help my students improve their written and oral expression, grammar, vocabulary and spelling. An English lesson consists of different material depending on the pupil's age and level. With little kids aged between 2-6 years old, we can play games, sing songs, draw, colour, learn names of objects, read stories, use flashcards. For a little older kids, aged between 7-10 years old, a good program is based on an interactive method where the child can talk about him/herself, learn some grammar, vocabulary from books specialized in English, do creative activities which can help kids discover the world. For teenagers aged 11+ I can bring my own workbooks for you to choose helpful ideas from. Our course usually consists of doing homework, preparing for tests and exams, developing their capacity to talk about their family, hobbies, interests, school, culture, sports, travelling and the world. Best regards! Assia

End
Mandarin Chinese, 6 yrs experience, Education major (Master)
Hi, I am an international student from China currently pursuing graduate studies in education. I speak Japanese, Chinese (mother tongue) and French. I have studied in Japan, Hungary, Spain and Belgium and lived in China for 20 years. Since 2016, I have been working as a language teacher while studying and earning my undergraduate degree in Education in the aforementioned countries. I have taught more than 20 students so far, and the students and parents have responded very favorably to the results and the learning process, and have been motivated to learn a foreign language. I strongly believe that education is not a painful process, it is not only about learning subjects, but also about motivation, mental health and proper values. My relationship with my students is more like that of a friend; a superior teacher-student relationship can only lead to a negative reaction to the content. My students love my classes because they are filled with interesting and logical explanations, and I take every student's question seriously. For younger students, I will use more interesting and vivid examples to explain abstract knowledge, for example: the letter "a" is a mouth with a snake next to it, in which case we will surely yell "ah". For adults who are able to think logically, I will choose to explain in a more logical way, e.g. if there is the character for fire on the left side of the Chinese word "烤", the left of the word which is "火" looks like a campfire,so any word with this "campfire" means something about fire or high temperature, and the right part can be used to deduce the pronunciation of the word. My courses are available via Terminals, Skype, dingding, etc. If you are in Brussels then you are welcome to come to one of my offline courses! The classes can be taught in Chinese, English.

Speak & write in English as soon as you could before!
Cambridge University's English teacher, offers a communicative method to better speak, write, understand and read in English. My goal is to advance the student in the field that poses the most problem: are you looking for a correct pronunciation, or is it oral and / or written communication that worries you? Or are you preparing for an English exam? Or does your child have to reach a certain level at school? Do not hesitate to formulate your questions and ask them before embarking on a serious and well-targeted apprenticeship for you or your child.

Giorgia
Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any level
Hello everyone! I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy. I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language. I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments. Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages. The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above). Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!
