English, Spanish, Social Sciences, Philosophy,

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am a qualified teacher of English and Spanish is my mother tongue. I graduated with a Master in Philosophy, a Master in Political Science, a Master in University Pedagogy (with distinction), and I am a doctoral student in Philosophy. I like the interaction with the students and the dynamics in my races. I have several interests and motivations (including musical composition and literature), so conversation lessons are my asset.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
PhD in Philosophy, Master in Philosophy, Master in Pedagogy (with distinction) and Bac in Political Science.
Having been an assistant and then a university professor for three years at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia and the Universidad Javeriana (Bogotá), I have always had a deep interest in pedagogy, which is why I pursued a master's degree in university pedagogy. In addition, my work experience in Washington DC (as a history and political culture instructor for an NGO) has enhanced my ability to teach students in a multicultural and multidisciplinary environment. My knowledge of English, French and Spanish have, moreover, played an important role in the consolidation of my multicultural training in that they gave me access to multiple means of information.

A very good experience in the first lesson. Javier is a friendly teacher, organized and engaging.
Excellent experience, excellent teacher!

Javier is a great teacher, caring, gifted and educational, what else?
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I started my English lessons with Javier in January 2022 and I 100% recommend this teacher. Javier adapts very easily to your level and clearly identifies your strengths and weaknesses. A “typical” lesson with Javier is divided between a warm-up discussion and a part of explanation and theoretical exercises which allow you to integrate the material. Javier has a very extensive field of knowledge and he will be able to find topics of discussion that will interest you and around which you can exchange your opinions. If you are looking to improve your level in English and gain confidence in expressing yourself orally in this language, Javier is the teacher you need. Chloé

My son takes Spanish lessons. He is pleased with the method used as they are adapted for teenagers.

Spanish orthography, improvement of Spanish oratory
I offer private Spanish speaking classes here in Brussels. These lessons are designed specifically for intermediate or advanced Spanish speakers who want to improve their oral skills and pronunciation. I don't teach grammar, instead, I focus on fluid expression, natural communication, and correct spelling (correcting your phonology). That includes spelling corrections during sessions to help you polish your written and spoken Spanish at the same time. My lessons are ideal for those who want to gain confidence speaking in public, improve their pronunciation, have better conversations, or fine-tune their Spanish for professional or personal use. The talks could be about any matter you wish: your daily life, your job, your hobbies... but I like to focus these talks on something more educational like philosophy, history, culture.... basically because I've been studying these subjects intensively for these past three years (till nowadays) and I think they are the ones who helps to express properly and to extend his vocabulary. Please note: I don't speak French. The classes are entirely in Spanish and English in case you need it of course, there is no problem about that. They are only suitable for people who already have at least an intermediate level or people who have already a good knowledge of verbs and grammar (I could make some corrections but it's not my subject). If you're looking to take your Spanish to the next level, especially your ability to speak it clearly, confidently, and correctly, feel free to get in touch!

Spanish lessons with a native Spanish speaker - oral and written expression practice
NL: Ik kan ook deze cursus in Engels (B2), Nederlands (B1) en Italiaans (B1) geven EN: I'm also able to teach this course in English (B2), Dutch (B1) and Italian (B1) -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- EN: My experience and skills are mainly focused on improving conversation, however we can see in detail the grammar if you are also interested in this aspect. What I propose is a set of exercises to practice your oral expression: -Free subjects or subjects of general interest: travel, leisure... or even more specialized themes such as politics, culture... -Vocabulary games: riddles, descriptions, construction of sentences, short stories ... whose words will serve as a basis for other exercises in future sessions to consolidate what has been seen and to measure your progress -Sketches: dramatizations of everyday situations or situations that make you or could make you uncomfortable in a foreign language (work interviews, shopping, making an appointment, procedures at the municipality, etc.) ). Here you will have the advantage of preparing yourself and having the situation under control with the support of the teacher. -Songs: we will go through vocabulary, grammar, accents, expressions, cultural aspects and anecdotes using songs that are part of Spanish-speaking musical culture (Latin America and Spain) Have you ever wanted to know what are the lyrics of a song in Spanish? This is your opportunity! -I also use the following games during lessons, but you can suggest others: tabú en español (taboo), story cubes, and other specific games for learning Spanish (board games for example) I can also help you develop a more formal vocabulary (argumentation, presentation...). You can obviously choose the subject but if you lack an idea I can always suggest one and from there work on vocabulary and pronunciation, which will be reviewed each week in order to consolidate your knowledge and measure your progress. At the end of each session you will receive feedback on the exercises and a few days later you will also receive corrections and notes. Do not hesitate to send me a message to find out more about my availability, choose an exercise or suggest one and any questions you may have. I am ready to move outside Brussels (Wallonia and Flanders); or in this case contact me for a suitable price, including transport costs. If it can make your life easier I speak fluent English (B2) and French (C1), but also Italian (B1) and Dutch (B1) - Classes at my place are possible from mid-December 2022, webcam rate
