Queen's English! British English, but also American expressions

From 28 € /h

I trained as a translator and interpreter at the Mons School of International Interpreters. This training is based on learning spoken language first... no unnecessary and tedious grammar... but phonetics, the MUSIC of language... the essential tool! People call me a magician...
Speaking a language is like singing to music, with its own unique phonetics! English is a prime example...
Learning while having fun with an effective teacher who puts you at ease. Perform, progress, quickly and well without any "pain," and gain confidence. I've helped "save" some hopeless cases... for me, it's a challenge I take on with enthusiasm every time!

As a linguist, I never judge a speaker no matter how good or bad they are. I have every needed skill to help you to make your speaking closer to the standard French spoken in Belgium or France.
I continually adapt the teaching (phonetics, grammar, syntax, etc...) to the needs of the students.
According to your needs, we can work on speaking, writing, or both.

Russian is a very beautiful but truly challenging language. Whatever are your purposes for learning this language, help from a native Russian speaker will certainly accelerate this process.
Russian isn't my mother tongue but I use this language from the age of 6 on a daily basis so I am almost a native speaker. I've been living in Moscow, Russia for the past 3 years. Currently, I'm in Brussels and ready to help anybody willing to master this language.
If you're interested, feel free to contact me.

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!

For my classes, I am using multiple supports such as an English book, homemade exercices and my highschool textbook which I take the liberty to adapt depending on the student's level.

I usually work by chapters, as I find it easier to move on throughout the lesson. I also appreciate the structured program to keep the mind clear and actually see the progress.

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 offer personalized monitoring adapted to each person's pace, with the aim of improving yourself.
Grammar, vocabulary, conjugation: I support you with linguistic tools (videos, texts or even music) both orally and in writing, in order to explore together this wonderful world that is the English language.

Whether you are unable to achieve your goals, or you simply need a little boost, I will be happy to support you!

I see my role more as a guide or tutor, someone who creates a supportive environment where students feel comfortable to learn and making mistakes. I enjoy working with students in a collaborative way: for example, giving them exercises or homework, and then going through the corrections together, so that the focus is not only on the result but also on the learning process.

Since I have taught Italian to foreign students in the past, I have developed an approach that emphasizes patience, clarity, and adaptability. I believe it is important to meet students where they are, to understand their individual needs, and to adjust my explanations accordingly. For me, being an "instructor" means encouraging curiosity, motivating students to engage actively, and helping them build confidence step by step.
