English lessons (speaking or writing) with a British Native Speaker

I am a British native english speaker working in Brussels, looking to help anyone who wants to improve either their spoken or written english in a professional or social context. My goal is to be flexible and focus on exactly what you want to improve, having some experience in privately tutoring English to French and Dutch children before. I have a B2/C1 level certificate in French so if needed the class can be taught in French.

About Me

- I am a British young professional working at a think tank in Brussels looking to make a little extra money from tutoring English in Brussels' international environment.
- I was educated at Oxford University in history and politics as well as a masters degree at the College of Europe in Bruges. I have advanced written and oral skills in English from completing two academic theses.
- But most of all I just enjoy sharing my language and its nuances with others so they can use English to explore the rest of the world more easily.

Education

BA (Honours), History and Politics at Magdalen College, the University of Oxford. MA in EU International Relations and Diplomacy Studies at the College of Europe in Bruges (mention très bien).

Experience / Qualifications

I taught English to a Dutch family over the summer last year (2018) in Brussels and found the experience highly rewarding, particularly as the son's English improved over a few weeks of intensive lessons.

Learning languages, it becomes really easy!
We live in a world where knowledge of languages has become an almost essential asset. In my classes, I suggest that you acquire rapid knowledge in order to be able to express yourself easily in concrete everyday situations. The goal is that at the end of your learning, you will be able to express, write and understand simple and more complex sentences without making mistakes. To do this, a practical and fun methodology is made available to you as well as individual monitoring of your progress as well as exercises adapted to your level.

Étudiant universitaire donne des cours de latin à Bruxelles
Ayant étudié le latin pendant des années à l'Institut Saint-Boniface Parnasse, je propose des cours de latin à destination des élèves de secondaire (de la première année à la rhéto) ou de personnes qui souhaitent améliorer leur maîtrise de la langue.

English: Pronunciation (British or American). NO grammar lessons. Adults only.
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.

English - learn by doing (from perfecting the language to teaching the basics to upgrading)
In the case of tutoring, I base my lessons on the subject seen by the student by explaining to him in another way with many examples and by making him practice as much as possible. In case of learning the basics, I have set up my own totally interactive method so that the student can practice and during which I speak almost only in English to be close to immersion during the lessons. Do not hesitate to contact me for: - learn the basics - prepare for a test - have support for your lessons - practice the language - ... Whatever your needs, I take a practical and fun approach to English because, in my opinion, it is the best way to learn.

English Tutoring for Comfort at Work and to Pass Exams
I specialise in tutoring English for European Union professional exams (e.g., AST - AD promotion exams and 'retour' interpretation exams), for other exams (SAT, GMAT, GRE, FCE, CAE, CPE, IELTS. TOEFL), for thesis submission, and for other professional work, particularly English for auditors, legal, financial and ambassadorial advisors, business people, project managers, salespeople, physicians, scientists, and academic students. All courses are individually tailored to the student's needs and students are invited to supply their own materials from work. Courses usually focus on passing an exam or on achieving a sense being able to work comfortably in English with native or non-native English speakers.

Private lessons in French - Latin - History - Methodology - English
Hello, I am an experienced French teacher in upper secondary. I am used to helping and supporting students or adults in difficulty. Moreover, I graduated from a master's degree in French and Romance Languages and Letters at the Free University of Brussels and holder of an AESS aggregation in French as a mother tongue. I offer a French course with a particular and personalized follow-up. Indeed, the course will adapt to the learner's requests by identifying his gaps in the chosen subject and by creating a learning path adapted to his needs. The course can either respond to a specific request on a subject or a specific objective to be achieved, or aim to improve the overall level of French, both in terms of reading comprehension, oral comprehension, written expression or oral expression. The follow-up can also offer a course aimed at developing general culture (whether literary or artistic). I can also help you with basic mathematics, English, Latin, writing a CV or a cover letter, writing a job, advanced use of Word, Powerpoint, Scribus or Gimp software. Finally, I can offer you research advice or general methodology. Appointments can be one-off or structured as a constant follow-up for a given period. I remain at your disposal for any possible question,

French lessons for professionnal or social needs. Native speaker teacher with a lot of experience in Brussels!
I'm a 33 years old french teacher and I've been living here in Brussels for 11 years, 8 of them as a french teacher. Before that I studied political sciences and had a couple of experiences in public communication. As a teacher, I gave classes in languages centers (such as Berlitz or Semantics), so I worked and continue working in different environments like lawyer cabinets, hospitals, companies or NGO based in Brussels or with people learing french through unemployment programs). But I also give private lessons, like the one we might do together. This brought me to work with different linguistic, cultural and professionnal backgrounds as well as with very different age classes (from 5 to 65). My class is essentially based on improving communication skills, that is to say that I give an advantage to the practice of verbal expression, through simulations (of professional situations, like doing a public presentation or conducting a meeting,...) and conversation (around documents and medias like articles, audiovisual items,...). Nevertheless, when learning or doing the revision of grammar points is needed, I organize grammar items to work on too (the use of the subjonctif, la concordance des temps, how to express hypothesis,...). For that, I use primarly the book Grammaire Progressive du Français but can also use different material (I worked with some product of the editions Alter Ego more centered on workplace oriented needs for example). So my methode is "taylor-made" as I adapt the content around the needs of each students in term of their communication objectives. Don't hesitate to ask me if I forgot to mention anything in this quick profile!

Feel stuck? Let's take your English to the next level
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.

Caroline

Online English Reading sessions for children with a Native English Speaker
I provide online reading sessions to children who are learning to read in English and/or who would like to practise their reading skills with a native English speaker. I have extensive experience teaching English to young learners, in particular, in teaching children to read using the Jolly Phonics programme. Each reading session lasts approximately 30 to 40 minutes and includes written feedback of the session, and access to online materials e.g. pdf levelled books, worksheets or links to useful resources.

French courses for foreigners (FLE) / french lessons for foreigners
As a linguist, by one hand i never judge a spoke as good or bad, but understable or not, and by another i have every needed skill to help you to make your speak become closer to the standard french spoken in Belgium or France. I continually adapt the teaching (phonetic, grammar, syntax...) to the needs of the students. According to you, we can work on the speaking, the writing, or both.
