I am a native American English speaking instructor, editor, journalist, and legal/policy expert from Florida specializing in instruction, interview and exam prep, consulting and text correction for a wide range of professionals & students across Belgium including in the legal, academic, policy, and other fields.

My past & present clients have included: professionals and politicians from all four major EU institutions, the Belgian government, the UNHCR, and various NGOs, alongside diplomats, doctors, journalists, and engineers, as well as a variety of other professions in addition to traditional students..I have had over 50+ repeat students on Apprentus (which recently changed their algorithm to only display the last six months).

Approaching from a true native's perspective, I instruct and assist with both educational and business English in a multi-faceted nature covering a wide range of areas including comprehension, conversation, grammar, and situational skills, in addition to working on general language skills and accent training. As well, I can provide extensive help and training with the EPSO, IELTS, and TOEFL exams.

I have also written, edited or proofread a variety of academic papers, theses, applications, CVs, and other documents for numerous satisfied academic and professional clients.

I have spent my entire childhood and adult life in the United States before completing a master's degree in Political Science and European Politics at KU Leuven. Additionally, I also possess Bachelor's degrees in Political Science and History. I have an extensive knowledge and experience of English grammar and literature, as well as current and past working experience in journalism (Anti-Competition Law and European Policy at the Policy and Regulatory Report) and both European and American politics.

I also handle correction of text, editing, proofreading and ghostwriting, with weekly and monthly rates possible. My transportation costs are included.

My name is Serdane and I offer Dutch lessons to secondary school students and adults who find it difficult to develop a way of working that suits them. Extroverted and bubbly...and above all, a lot of humor!

Everyone learns in their own way. Some people learn languages intuitively by engaging in conversations. Others need rigorous exposure to grammatical concepts before launching into practice...in short, there are as many ways to learn as there are students! This is why I do not adopt a rigid method, but rather I adapt to the specificities of each student. I assess their level, their strengths, their possible weaknesses or delays, and I adjust my course accordingly. My priority is to give confidence to the student: Dutch is accessible to everyone when it is taught well!

I believe in the effectiveness of active teaching methods: I encourage student participation as much as possible, guiding them to discover what works best for them. This ultimately allows him to continue his learning independently.

My areas of expertise:
- Enhancement
- catching up
- Grammar reviews
- Conversation course
- Work method (organization, schedule of revisions, etc.)
- Support for beginners

My price includes complete academic support (private lessons, possibility of asking questions outside of class hours, assistance with writing and correcting questions, etc.). If necessary, I provide specific help for the preparation of questions or exams in more complex subjects.

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.

I aim my lesson at Dutch speakers who want to learn French, who have difficulties with it at school, or who simply want to refine their conversation skills.
French is my native language, and I have studied Latin and Greek, which gave me a deeper understanding of French grammar and language.

Learn and improve the French language through an interactive learning method. Learn to think, speak and write in a clear and structured way. I also offer courses in philosophy and human sciences, which aim to make major currents of thought accessible to young people and to prepare them for assessments in the French language (writing, dissertation, etc.).

Primary school teacher with 15 years of experience in active pedagogy and author of textbooks, I support children from 6 to 12 years old in their school career:

- remediation,
- learning delay,
- Learning to read,
- working method,
- preparation for the CEB.

I have good knowledge of learning disorders (dyslexia, dyscalculia, disorthography, dyspraxia) and adapt easily to your expectations.

I can offer conversation classes at very different levels, from informal discussions with idiomatic expressions to business negotiation dialogues.

As for the pronunciation of French, it is a real challenge because written French is often very different from its articulation.

The verbo-tonal method that I use, and which is often used by speech therapists, is particularly suitable for correcting French pronunciation for those of you who are not native French speakers, but also for native French speakers who wish to get rid of an accent.

We will work on the sounds of the language integrated into the sentence, the rhythm, the intonation and considered as a living and evolving system.

This method is very effective. You will see your progress very quickly and your self-confidence will allow you to overcome any reluctance you may have had before to express yourself in public. For others, having a more neutral pronunciation in French can be a significant asset professionally.

English, French and math courses for secondary school students, whether for homework help or exam preparation.

Language courses are intended for students from 1st to 6th secondary school.

Math lessons for students from 1st to 4th secondary.

The courses are aimed at high school students, literature students, and adults learning French (FLE). Through courses tailored to their needs, learners will consolidate their French skills, either from a strictly linguistic or literary perspective.

As for the language, we will be able to work on different aspects: grammar, conjugation, syntax rules, written and oral expression.

More experienced learners, in rhetoric and at university, will be able to consolidate their skills in written expression and literary analysis.

It is about progressing realistically and at the learner's own pace, and developing methods that allow for long-term improvement.

Je propose des cours particuliers de néerlandais (conversation et grammaire) à des élèves de tous niveaux : de débutant à confirmé, pour un soutien dans la matière de l’enseignement secondaire et supérieur, ou pour toute personne qui souhaite parfaire sa maîtrise de la langue.

Ma méthode s’articule autour de deux axes principaux, selon vos besoins :

1. Cours théoriques : apprendre ou parfaire ses connaissances de la langue à l’aide d’exercices de grammaire (conjugaison, construction de phrases), enrichir son vocabulaire.

2. Cours de conversation : s’entraîner à pratiquer la langue à partir de textes qui traitent de l’actualité ou de jeux de rôle.

J'ai à coeur de m'adapter aux besoins, au rythme et aux spécificités de chaque élève, afin de créer une atmosphère conviviale et propice à l'apprentissage.

------

A propos de moi :

Néerlandophone de naissance, j'ai grandi aux Pays-Bas avant de déménager en Belgique où je vis depuis maintenant plus de quarante ans.

Dès ma jeunesse, j'ai appris plusieurs langues étrangères (français, anglais, et allemand) et me suis intéressé à leur fonctionnement ; ceci m'a permis d'avoir une excellente compréhension de la grammaire de manière générale, mais aussi de mieux appréhender ce qui peut faciliter ou entraver l'apprentissage d'une nouvelle langue.

Au cours de ma vie, j’ai déjà pu accumuler de l’expérience en tant qu'enseignant de langues, aussi bien dans le cadre de cours individuels que collectifs, à des jeunes et à des adultes.

Studying a language is not just about memorizing lists of verbs, it is above all about being able to express oneself with confidence.
My approach is simple: clarity and practical application are my priorities. Whether it's for French (FLE), Spanish, or Italian, we'll work on what truly matters to you.
Zero blockage: We practice speaking from the beginning so that speaking becomes natural.
Current content: We use a variety of media (videos, articles, podcasts) to understand the language as it is spoken today.
School effectiveness: For students, we go straight to the essential points to unlock understanding.

My approach for our first meeting:
The first session is dedicated to your goals and interests. I like to build my lessons around your passions: this allows us to work on specific vocabulary and conversation topics that truly motivate you. A lesson tailored to you is a lesson where progress is faster.

When do we start?
