English conversation practice with a native speaker: improve your English through conversation

Àpd 35.85 $ /h

I am an American student living and studying in Brussels. My teaching methods are based largely on my own experiences studying French, German and Japanese, combined with careful consideration of the interests and learning style of the student.

The primary and most important motivation in language learning is the desire to understand and take part in another culture. I therefore try to understand why my students would like to learn English, and what aspects of English-speaking culture interest them, whether it be films, literature, music, etc.

Our lessons will be primarily conversations entirely in English (or as much as possible) with corrections when needed. Using your current English level and the kinds of mistakes you make as a guide, we can look at grammar, pronunciation, and other topics to improve your level.

If desired, we can prepare topics and resources ahead of class time, such as articles, movies, books, etc. to give us a theme for the conversation.

Présentation

I am always curious to learn about my students. I believe that language learning is a powerful way to understand the other people we share this planet with through cultural exchange. I try to therefore create a non-judgemental and relaxed learning environment where we discuss your interests and passions.

For my part, I am a college student in Brussels, Belgium, where I've been living for the past three years. I study music and am especially interested in Jazz, Classical, Indian, Arabic and Flamenco music. Outside of music I also enjoy reading about ancient History, running, and studying languages.

Education

I graduated from Newton North High School in 2018. After studying Philosophy briefly at Skidmore College, I am now pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Jazz Guitar from the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel.

Expérience / Qualifications

I became interested in teaching English after helping some of my friends learn here in Brussels. Additionally, my own experience studying languages has shaped my interest. I currently speak French at a C1 level, German B2, and Japanese JLPT4.

German-American offers its humble services to accompany you in learning its mother tongues, whether it's for exam success or just for the simple pleasure of better understanding the words of Goethe or Faulkner.
Sharing my languages through common interests, such as music, theater or film, are my favorite ways to start learning.

I love to look at the out the box and blend your own experience with real life scenarios to create a connection the English language that isn’t just a grammar table. However, I do admit that I am a "grammar junkie" and it's something that I like to go through in detail with my students

- No question will ever be answered with the words “it’s just like that” because 9/10 there is a very good reason for it.

You might be a new to English or a "seasoned pro", either way my class is a safe space where you can try things out. Mistakes are welcome and through those that we build our way up to where we want to be. I want you push yourself and take a risk; right or wrong.

-You’ll get it right many more times that you think – believe me!

----------------------------------------------

I am an eager and enthusiastic teacher who has just moved to Brussels with a big curiosity for other cultures. This coupled with my desire to bring people together enables me to continually strike a balance between education, engagement and enjoyment inside the learning environment.

After having completing my CELTA (Cambridge Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) just under two years ago, I have accumulated a mass of experience including adult and secondary school classes, adult/teen individual lessons. I have worked with companies such as Air France, Disneyland and Home24 focusing on interview coaching, written assignment correction and exam preparation (IELTS).

English is a very essential subject that one must have in this ever-growing world. We will focus on anything you are currently doing at school or university, or if you have anything in particular you would like to learn or know about.

We will work at your pace, some people learn faster than others and that is completely understandable, so whatever pace you feel comfortable with, we will take it.

Work on English accent, communication skills; learn how to hold a complex conversation and not just the generic “how are you” that is often repeated when speaking to a British or American person.

I will be teaching Mandarin from the beginning and start explaining how it works. It does not have an alphabet, so be ready to enjoy a whole new different way of learning a language!

You will learn pronouns, numbers, basic grammar, principal verbs, interrogation particles, time particles, and vocabulary, progressively.

I will also be sending some exercises for you to practice what we have learned and have your character writing on point.

------------------

Would you like your children to have some help with their English homework? Or do you want to practice your spoken skills in English with someone? In any case, I will be happy to help!

If there is anything you need, I’m always up for questions and clarifications!

Do not worry about schedules. We can both be flexible whenever necessary. We don’t want to add up stress, but to have a good time discovering these amazing languages!

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.
