Improve your Academic Writing and Applications in English

A partir de 42.81 $ /h

Hello there,

My name is Benjamin and I am a French art historian. My academic training in the English language started at the University of Toronto where I received a BA (summa cum laude) in History of Art and Philosophy. I also hold a Masters from the Courtauld Institute of Art in London in the history of Northern Renaissance art, and a Masters from KU Leuven in Philosophy. I am about to begin a PhD in History of Art and Ideas at the Warburg Institute in London. I am a native speaker/ reader in French.

This course is intended for the general student of the humanities, Arts, and Sciences who would like to improve or formalise their written English. This course is focused on academic contexts, and can be tailored to suit your learning needs and level (high school to post-graduate). I am also available to assist with your academic applications/ interview prep in English.

My main research interests are focused on pre-modern (1100-1600) European philosophy and art. I have a strong general reading in literary studies, cultural sciences, philosophy, and World History.

I am available to meet at a cafe in Brussels, your home, or over Zoom.

I look forward to helping you reach your academic goals!

I do tutoring for primary and secondary students. However, I cannot help with science subjects for secondary school students.

My father being Chilean, Spanish is my second language.

Regarding English, I lived in England for a year where I took lessons. I also babysat children in Italy for several months, with whom I had to speak English constantly. I also have the First Certificate of English diploma.

I took courses in a translation school for two years in English and Spanish. It allowed me to see in depth the grammar of these two languages and study them at a higher level.

I gave French lessons for three years to non-French speakers.

I try to find the method that corresponds to each one. Indeed, it is important for me to understand how the person to whom I am teaching works in order to best adapt my teaching. I don't think there's just one method, and imposing one on someone isn't productive for me.

As a student in the field of foreign languages in higher education (Master interpreting conference), I will use my experience to help you improve your conversational English and / or to help you achieve the school goals in sight.
The courses are intended primarily to make you love the language and progress in a fun and enjoyable way. This is why the material tends to be individualized according to your needs and your tastes.

My methodology is based on identifying the student's deficiencies in the first place. It is essential to assess the level of the student beforehand. Depending on this, adaptations will be implemented.
For students with significant deficiencies, this should be addressed first. But not only occasionally because it is usually a "cluster" of various gaps. The study will be done according to 3 axes: the writing, the reading and the oral expression.
For more comfortable students, the teaching method will be freer but will also be developed according to the 3 axes mentioned above.

I have 19 years as a professor at Mexican university and right now I'm living in Brussels.
I have a PhD. in education and for me it's essential to have dynamic classes that approach with the real life and communicative cases in order to improve the level of the language; the learning process is essential to do in different ways in order to find out which type of learner is the student.
I'm very passionate and disciplinate about my teaching, trying also to use the TIC's as tool to support the knowledge received.
I try always to be updated as a professor with new technologies, new materials and new techniques in order to give and provide the best class as possible.

I specialize in tutoring English, Spanish and French. My goal is to keep students motivated to learn a new language and teach them how to speak with the native accent. Writing but also speech will be practiced and I am more than happy to tackle any particular goals :).
I have previous experience in tutoring with both kids and teenagers!

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.

Since I believe that the learning environment is one of the keys to successful language learning, I endeavor to make students feel comfortable and content in my lessons: to ask questions if they are unsure and keep an easy but rewarding pace of learning.

Depending on how my students feel they learn English most effectively, I adapt my lessons to use materials that give them the best results possible. For instance, some students find the continuity of a coursebook effective, while others prefer to be more flexible with articles and podcasts. I know from experience that every student is unique.

I adapt my lessons according to my student and what they wish to work on or explore further: grammar exercises, reading or pronunciation, listening comprehension.

Trained as a translator, I lived in Great Britain for seven years. I taught French as a foreign language at the University of Edinburgh. I also have several years of experience teaching English in Belgium.
I work on the 4 skills related to learning a language: reading, writing, listening, speaking.
Among other things: grammar review, vocabulary learning, conversation and pronunciation improvement.
My course materials come from several teaching methods, but I am also ready to create new lessons depending on my learner.
I am ready to come to my student's home but I can also adapt my video course given the current circumstances.

Depending on the student's needs, it may be grammar, vocabulary, conversation, comprehension, etc. It can be to bring new material or a school support.

I have supported a large number of students with homework help (all branches combined) as well as with language lessons. Having also worked for several years as a school substitute, I have accumulated experience and am familiar with the requirements required in class.

Polyglot, I master French, English, German, Spanish and Italian and am able to explain the grammar, as well as to propose nice exercises to learn these languages.

I think it's important to keep a relaxed and playful atmosphere during the lessons :-)

Do not hesitate to contact me if you want more information.

Learning a language is not just about learning its vocabulary and grammar.
With a communication method adapted to you, my goal is to personalize the course to your needs in order to achieve your goals and be able to express yourself from day one.
The methodology I use is flexible (songs, translations, pure and specific grammar or
vocabulary games?), it depends on your preferences, interests and linguistic objectives (academic, professional, conversational: what is yours?).

I am a Spanish translation and interpretation student, currently studying this year on Erasmus in Brussels. As Spanish is my mother tongue, I would like to dedicate my classes to teaching the language in a practical, easy and enjoyable way.
