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

Van 30 € /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.

Over

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.

Opleiding

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.

Leservaring

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.

As you know, speaking English is essential — especially when you’re abroad and don’t speak the local language. Whether you're starting from the basics or want to improve your fluency, I’m here to help you every step of the way!

I am an experienced French teacher who also teaches English, Armenian, and Russian. In my lessons, I focus on grammar while placing a strong emphasis on speaking and building confidence in real communication.

I’m known for being very patient, kind, and supportive, always creating a positive environment where my students feel comfortable and motivated to learn.

Classes are online .
Let’s start your language journey together — I look forward to meeting you, my lovely students! 🌟

Have you ever been worried that your accent isn't good enough, or that you may be mispronouncing things, or you just want practice speaking? Well, I can help you out! As a native English speaker and near native Italian speaker, I can help you from the basics, to helping you correct university level papers, and to just sitting down and having a chat with you!
I have had past experience with tutoring and am flexible towards what my students want. If you're looking for someone to give you weekly homework, and to teach you grammar and vocabulary then I can do just that (with an entertaining, laidback feel to it). I don't want learning a language to feel like a chore, or a burden, therefore I put a lot of effort in making my classes interesting, new, and fun to ensure you take the most out of it.
If you would like to know more about who I am, or need any help in English and Italian I am ready to help!

My goal is to guide and help the students grasp a high level of understanding in the basics of English language skills, ESL, and Italian.
Moreover, I aim, with the students, to achieve a more advanced level for the students in speaking, reading, and understanding. I can assure flexibility in my lessons. If students find they already know something quite well, I will not dwell on such topics too long and will move on to other topics that are new to them, or of interest. My goal is to provide a focused session in which the student is really the center of attention, where all their needs are met.

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! :-)

Hello! If you can understand this message without having to translate then you are ready for my help! I am from California, and have been living here in Brussels since 2012. I am 44 years old. I speak West Coast (California) English. It's the English you hear in your favorite California movies. I love to help friends who already speak "European street English" while HAVING FUN! Did you know that 70% of learning a language is learned OUTSIDE of a classroom setting? So I propose we go to the park, we cook together, we go on a bike ride, we draw, we play. And of course we will talk a lot. When I hear an error I will correct you in a fun way, writing things for you, with FUN AND REAL examples, with drawings, ALWAYS STAYING 100% in English. That's correct, I will only speak English to you, because as you and I both know, you already speak English, and you have understood everything (or maybe 70%) of everything I just wrote. What you want is to improve or perfect your spoken English (we can work on writing, too). Immersion and fun, West Coast Style. And my university degree? Yes, I have two of them, in Languages and Literature, and I speak 4 fully fluent languages (working on number five currently), but for now I want you to learn English by HAVING FUN! My friends and prior students can tell you how fun it is to learn with me. HOPE WE GET TO PLAY TOGETHER SOON! You can do it! Groups ok.

Francophone having studied in Dutch-speaking education, I continued my studies in both languages. During my studies, I followed several internships abroad (UK, Malta) to perfect my English.

The first objective is to learn / review the basics of English with the student, grammar and a precise vocabulary.
It all depends on the objectives that the student has, I can prepare the appropriate lessons / materials

I offer tailored courses, in person or remotely, according to the needs of each student. For academic support, I adapt to the program followed by the child or adolescent, by deepening the concepts already covered, by re-explaining difficult points or by dissecting problematic themes.

For adults, I mainly teach the basics in Dutch, but I can adapt my lessons to different objectives. For example: learning the vocabulary for a new position, preparing for an exam (Selor, language certification), refreshing your knowledge before an interview, or improving your ability to communicate effectively in a professional or personal context. My approach is always flexible, student-centered, and aims to strengthen both understanding and self-confidence.

My lessons are fully personalized to your needs and level. Whether you are a complete beginner or want to refine advanced skills, I will adapt the content and pace to help you progress with confidence.
🔹 For school support: I explain grammar and vocabulary in a simple way, give practice exercises, and help with homework or exam preparation.
🔹 For professional needs: I can prepare you for interviews, presentations, or workplace communication (emails, meetings, negotiations).
🔹 For personal interest: If you want to travel, live abroad, or simply enjoy the language, we can focus on speaking and everyday conversation.
My teaching style is interactive, patient, and motivating. I combine conversation, reading, listening, and writing practice to make sure you gain both accuracy and fluency. Each lesson is tailored to your goals, and I provide feedback and extra resources so you can keep improving between classes.
Lessons are available online or in person (near the European Quarter, Brussels).

Whether you want to learn, improve or deepen your knowledge of a language, you're in the right place!

Holding two master's degrees in Romance and Germanic languages and literatures, I have over 18 years of experience in teaching languages at primary, secondary and university levels.
Specializing in culturally diverse educational contexts, I have lived and taught in Latin America (Ecuador and Brazil), the United States, Spain, and Dutch-speaking Belgium. These experiences have allowed me to reach a near-native level in Portuguese, Spanish, English, and Dutch.

My goal is first and foremost to develop your understanding of the language, so that oral expression can develop gradually and with confidence.
How ?
Through dynamic and contextualized teaching methods: concrete activities, role-playing and interactive exercises.
I combine a strong linguistic knowledge with modern and innovative teaching methods, based on immersion, contextual learning, and everyday life situations. I place particular importance on the active participation of learners, both orally and in writing.
I primarily use the immersion method: lessons are conducted in the target language, allowing for natural and effective progress. Of course, you can use your native language to ask questions if needed.
These scientifically recognized approaches promote both rapid and lasting learning. My courses are structured, interactive, and fully tailored to the specific needs of each learner, guaranteeing concrete results.

Each course is custom-designed to meet your specific needs and goals. My sessions are dynamic, structured, and engaging, guaranteeing rapid and significant progress.
With a great capacity for adaptation, I establish a relationship of trust with my learners.
My patience, empathy, and professionalism will encourage you to surpass yourself

I offer English lessons focused on reading, writing, and speaking skills, immersion in the culture and history of the language and English-speaking peoples, and I use methods tailored to each student to ensure the fastest and most lasting progress. To achieve this, I utilize a variety of resources: traditional exercises (grammar, spelling), oral and audio exercises for pronunciation and comprehension, music and games, educational videos, and more.
I attach great importance to writing by hand with a pen and not just typing on a computer, as well as to non-traditional learning methods (films, music with lyrics, games) because this engages different parts of the brain more deeply and makes it easier to learn and retain information.
I guarantee personalized learning methods and support for each student, as well as a significant improvement in level in less time than would be required via traditional platforms.
