    English with Diana - beginning through advanced, private and small group lessons

    I'm an American classical singer with 8 years' experience teaching (and learning!) languages (Italian, French, English, Czech, Russian, Spanish).

    My specialty is working with pre-intermediate adults, because I love helping people over the threshold of shyness that is often blocking adult learners at this level of experience. The best class, in my opinion, is 75% conversation, so be ready to talk. Homework only if you want it.

    Extra information

    I have my own favorite materials, but I encourage students to bring articles and topics they are excited to share.

    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.

    Practice and improve your English effectively
    Having followed an English training from kindergarten to high school, I want to share the bilingualism that was offered to me. Because English is linguistically a major tool and it opens many doors, I want to teach the student how to master it at best. To do this, a course divided into two equal parts, the first to learn grammar and vocabulary and the second to practice.

    Sophie
    Academic teaches English-Russian-French in Brussels
    Being a student myself, I have the advantage of understanding the student. I think that studying a language is not only about learning vocabulary lists. I have been teaching for 7 years, and have already helped around fifty students of different ages. My Erasmus in Manchester in a situation of total bilingualism has enriched the way I teach and I can pride myself on guaranteeing a fast and pleasant progression! ;) -> NOBODY has "no gift" for languages, the key is just to let you guide.

    Make it fun! Experienced coach, creative & strategic approach allowing you to learn English as if you were in the UK.
    Do you speak English but want to improve it? Do you speak a little and would like to become fluent? Are you a good parent who wants your children to master World Esperanto? Whatever your goal, I will create a tailor-made program for you. I adapt my method to each person taking into account their way of learning to achieve the best results. My teaching technique will make you understand a beautiful logic of this language. My examples, and a fun way in which I present them, will allow you to remember fixed words and expressions (the idioms). I won't let you go until I eliminate the pronunciation mistakes! If you are French speaking, there is often work to be done :) I am a big Anglophile, I studied in London, I am very attached to this country. We will listen to the BBC, read the FT, watch film clips, and learn to pronounce correctly. “Am French-speaking” is not an excuse for making pronunciation mistakes! I will pass on to you my love for this language and for British culture. Learning by speaking is always better. My method is "learning by doing": you will talk a lot!

    English Courses for beginners ( Cours d'anglais pour débutant)
    English is undoubtedly an important language today, either for travelling ( hopefully soon we would be able to do so) or for work or school. It is a language that can open a lot of doors, and I would be happy to walk with you the first steps to it. I studied English from my primary school, so I know the struggle that new beginners might have. I speak fluently Arabic, French and Italian. Let's starts your journey ;)

    I love chatting with people and most of all having a good time during the course. I think the best way to learn a language is through fun activities and trying to speak it every day. I approach the subject freely and I am very open to adapting my courses to your particular needs. I am sure we will have a fantastic time and I look forward to meeting you soon!
