***** My availability varies according to the slots reserved by the pupils / students. To gain efficiency, I will send you a link to my "google agenda". You will be able to position our sessions more quickly *****

Hello, I offer you my expertise and experience to (re) upgrade you in English.

I can intervene at the following levels:

- School:

* (primary school: initiation) => Cambridge tests 'Starters - Movers - Flyers' & others.
* (college-high school) => remediation / upgrading in grammar + other language activities such as Oral / Writing Comprehension or Continuous Speaking / Interaction)

- Superior

(CPGE, IEP prep, TOEFL, iELTS, Cambridge First Certificate, Advanced Certificate ...)
(Preparation for tests such as "Tremplin-Passerelle-Passerelle2- Ecricome" ...)
(English for Interns in medicine ...)
(Linguistics / phonology / didactics for the English CAPES ... or other competition like the CRPE)

- I accompany and have accompanied many adults who needed to be / become truly successful in speaking / writing in English as part of their professional activities (fluency, accent reduction, grammar. ...) or as part of resuming studies.

Note that I am not this young student who had a good mark in the Baccalaureate or this other who is supposedly bilingual. I am a linguist by training and author of a textbook in this capacity. I have been teaching as a teacher in the National Education since 1995. Teaching cannot be improvised. It is not an activity that we do "like that". I offer you the fruit of my expertise and my experience as well as the perspective of an educational professional who knows the system perfectly from the "inside".

By the way, did you know that to have 10/20 in the Baccalaureate, it is enough to have level A2 (which is theoretically expected at the end of 3rd year) so I let you imagine the despair of students who are starting higher studies and who learn that they will have to obtain at least 750 in the TOEIC! (the equivalent of level B2!) to see their diploma approved.

2 tips for students:

"your TOEIC / IELTS score, it is from L1 that you must prepare it"

"if you want to be able to write - English read, understood and spoken in your CV - well it is also from L1 that you must train yourself to speak English, to read in English and of course to write.

* Daily monitoring possible via the internet: to learn modern foreign languages, it is always more profitable to work a little each day. It is possible to consider placing slots of 15 or 20 minutes of intensive work on one type of activity several times a week. (See the "memorization" video in the 'Surfonsdoc Orléans-Tours' channel on youtube)

-> Look for "debbinghaus curve" on google.

* Each course is prepared according to your personal needs. Feedback is always given at the end of the session.

* One of the fields in which I specialize is "phonology": intonation, word stress, connections ... In short, everything that relates to oral grammar. If you are tired of being immediately spotted as the man in the video "the i rabbit (you will find it in a few clicks on youtube))

See you soon!

Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details.

Having already supported foreign students online in learning French and English, I am ready to repeat the experience.

I adapt to all levels and I can also set up French lessons if necessary.

As a mother of a little boy, I am also delighted to teach English to children and teenagers from 3 years old.

Regarding the terms; the courses can be done via video or at my home located in Wervicq-Sud.
In case of booking for a group, decreasing rates can be put in place.
(I can also provide homework support up to middle school).

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me, I remain at your disposal.

Wishing you all a very good day

I offer fun teaching techniques that are less like what we do at school to facilitate learning. In language classes, I focus a lot on learning through speech. For me, learning should not be boring but entertaining. I offer online courses, at my home as well as yours. I can teach in Dutch, however, it is not my native language. I can give lessons in mathematics, French, Dutch, math, history, science and geography for students from 3 to 16 years old. I also give the basics in these subjects for adults as well as French, Dutch and English lessons at all levels.

French as a second mother tongue and English/German commonly used for professional activity. I investigate which study method suits the student best. In doing so, I focus on how we can memorize and automate in a simple and efficient way. We always make the link with the essence of what is learned.

I teach French, English and German to students in the first and second grades of secondary education, so from the first year to the fourth year of secondary school.

As a holder of a Master's degree in French as a Secondary School (MEEF) and with my work-study experience in the French Ministry of Education, I offer tutoring primarily for primary school students. My goal is to help students consolidate their French and mathematics skills, gain confidence, and develop effective working methods. I favor a personalized approach, adapted to the pace and needs of each student, with practical exercises, clear explanations, and regular monitoring. My goal is to make learning more accessible and motivating, while preparing students for school assessments.

Looking to learn English or Portuguese in a fun, immersive, and personalized way? You’re in the right place!

I’m a qualified language teacher from Portugal, currently working at a private international English school in Belgium. Alongside my teaching role, I’ve also worked at the international level with stakeholders in Brussels—giving me valuable experience in business, academic, and geopolitical English, especially in professional environments.

My lessons are tailored to your unique goals, level, and learning style. I design each class using interactive games, audio materials, visuals, PDFs, and more—always with engaging, practical content that supports real-world communication.

I have taught learners of all ages (from 3 to 50+), and I bring experience in supporting neurodivergent and disabled learners, ensuring that my classes are inclusive, supportive, and adaptable for everyone.

Whether you’re learning for travel, work, studies, or personal growth, my goal is to make you feel confident, understood, and motivated every step of the way.

For me, teaching should be enjoyable and flexible. Depending on your needs and goals, I can help you move forward! For classes, immersion is preferable; of course, the main points can be explained in the language of your choice (English or French). I am calm and attentive, and I can speed up or slow down the pace when things aren't going well. Classes are generally aimed at a maximum level of 4th secondary (intermediate or close to).
Support courses are available for other subjects.

So, for methodology support courses, I work both digitally and traditionally. I personalize according to the person and their needs. For general support, I teach all subjects up to 2nd year of secondary school and language up to 4th year of secondary school.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate!

Languages are the key to integrate in the world wherever you go. I can help you to learn English the international language to make you more confident and you can communicate with everyone on this world. In addition, i can teach you French the second official language in Belgium and the first official language in France. Don’t hesitate to try these two courses with me. You will be proud of yourself later.

Conversational English skills are an integral component of fluency. Tutoring sessions with me will focus on pronunciation, understandability, the vocabulary, and usage. As a native English speaker from the United States, my accent is 90% "Hollywood" and 10% "British". If someone has a preference in their accent I can give them the correct pronunciation for either.

When my clients need support with written English, I am happy to assist them as well.

Some clients wish to develop their accent to one that is more easily understood, and we will develop exercises to help them polish the pronunciation they are seeking.

I also work with my clients if they have a hesitancy to speak English. We will work out what is holding them back and we will develop the necessary skills.

It is important to me to offer a calm and supportive session to each of my clients.

In this class, I can teach you English from start to finish.

At first:
we'll have a look at what your level is.

After that, the lessons can start based on your needs.

That can be anything:
- Absolute beginner
- Some basic knowledge
- Advanced

Beginners will need to learn the absolute basics (vocabulary and grammar), while advanced students will need a cultural approach, will learn idiomatic language, style guides, etc.
