Cours particulier d'anglais/néerlandais débutant·e,s intermédiaires ou avancé·es

A partir de 40.29 $ /h

Hi there! I'm Lynn, a languages and all culture-related enthusiast with a particularly keen interest in singing, storytelling and transdisciplinary art. Which in turn led me to be a freshly graduated Master-student in Performing Arts, with a Bachelor's degree in Modern Languages and Letters where I primarily studied English as well as Russian linguistics and literature, along with a Dutch minor.

These university years gave me the opportunity amongst others to learn more in-depth about the subjects I was most passionate about during my Art Humanities, i.e. performance studies, philosophy, art - and cultural history, as well as literary/critical analysis of various different artforms.

Brought up bilingual (French-Dutch) from earliest infancy, I very early came to realise the many possibilities and encounters this opened up, which encouraged me to continue down this path of language learning and intercultural communication. At first, I was incredibly fortunate to benefit from the work of a truly invested and passionate English teacher during the scope of my humanities and to acknowledge all of the difference that it makes when learning a foreign language. Subsequently, prior to my studies I got the chance to travel to Ireland for a year during which I mainly worked as an au pair. This not only took my English to the next level, but also sharpened my childcare skills and pedagogical abilities.

Now that I've completed my studies and am opening up a new chapter of my working-life, I'm very excited to put all of this baggage to work along with you!
I wholeheartedly believe in the power of play and sharing fun, artistic and/or meaningful activities which help put things into practice in order to learn a new language in a lively, profound and sustainable way.

So, what do you think? Care to invite me aboard your learning journey?~ ⛵🗺️✨

Acerca de mí

Grande amoureux·se du chant depuis mon plus jeune âge, mon parcours a commencé dès l'âge de 6 ans dans un chœur d'enfants et a ainsi continué avec l'apprentissage du solfège et du piano.

Plus tard, je fus admis·e à l'école secondaire artistique flamande du "Lemmensinstituut" (Leuven) où je suivis quatre années de formations contenant - en plus des cours généraux - des cours de chant (chorale), musique et culture musicale, art dramatique, déclamation, danse, expression corporelle, esthétique, analyse littéraire, etc. etc.

Enfin, après 5 ans d'études universitaires, me voici jeune travailleur·se diplômé·e d'un bachelier en Langues et Lettres modernes (anglais-russe) et d'un master en Arts du Spectacle Vivant. Avec comme sujet de mémoire: la pratique contemporaine et occidentale du chant dit "sacré", ainsi que l'analyse de sa représentation. Ce qui m'a dès lors amené à observer, étudier et pratiquer en profondeur une toute autre approche du chant que celle que j'avais connu lors de ma scolarité. En effet, alors que je partais d'une formation académique "à l'occidental", c'est à mes 17 ans que je découvris toute l'extraordinaire richesse du chant de traditions orales par-delà le monde et ses cultures.

Depuis lors, je me forme régulièrement auprès de divers·es profesionnel·les du chant et de la voix dans le but de rassembler le plus possible de connaissances sur le sujet et de transmettre une pratique des plus accessibles pour toustes. Et ce, de manière à (re)trouver "sa voix·e", dans un rapport plus serein et plus 'aligné' envers soi-même et ses capacités (souvent bien plus grandes qu'on ne les imagine), et d'intégrer ses nombreux bienfaits au sein de la vie quotidienne.

Private singing lessons for beginners/intermediates: meeting breath, body and voice

78.14 $ /h

First of all, if you tell yourself that:

- you don't know how to sing because one day someone told you that you "sing badly" or "wrong"

- you love to sing but only alone in the shower, in your car, or anywhere/when no one can hear you

- you would like to approach practice in a way other than "classical" musical learning (--> music theory, scales, restriction to a single range, etc.)

- you would like to gain more confidence in your vocal, rhythmic and/or breathing abilities

- you would like to work on your "musical ear", your (stage) presence and/or different techniques of artistic expression (vocal)

- you would like to learn more about your instrument which is your body, your breath and your voice in order to tame it and experience the ease and opulence in your singing

...and you find yourself (partially) in one or the other or each of these statements, it doesn't matter: there is a good chance that this course is made for you!

Meet your voice. Explore the places of resonance in your body, the range of your emotions, the chants of your thoughts. Let yourself be inspired...exhale...

Our body, this instrument - nay, this “nomadic cathedral” with its vaults, its alcoves, ... its multiple spaces of resonance - we are often intrinsically rather than intimately linked to it. The vibrations that we emit when we sound our breath, transforming into song, can prove to be a powerful tool in the resolution of tensions, the calming of the mind, but also in the (re)discovery of oneself through our body, our senses and our voice, this musicality that is unique to us.

We experience the world on a daily basis through our body and our senses, and the voice allows us to share these experiences with others, both in its daily and extra-daily communicative function; artistic; poetic. But when the spoken voice gives way to the singing voice, Music allows us to go even further... Sometimes even to touch what is called the Ineffable.

Oh yeah... Just that..! Don't panic, everything in its time ;)

Persian language courses for children and adults.
This language is my mother tongue and I've been teaching for 4 years.
With children I teach the language with songs and games and with adults I start by showing the similarities of the language (compared to French or English) to learn with greater ease.

I am passionate about languages and when we love something we do it very well !
i am a very patient teacher , fun will be part of the course and you will be surprised by how fast you will learn

Hello! If you can understand this message without having to translate then you are ready for my help! I am from California, and have been living here in Brussels since 2012. I am 44 years old. I speak West Coast (California) English. It's the English you hear in your favorite California movies. I love to help friends who already speak "European street English" while HAVING FUN! Did you know that 70% of learning a language is learned OUTSIDE of a classroom setting? So I propose we go to the park, we cook together, we go on a bike ride, we draw, we play. And of course we will talk a lot. When I hear an error I will correct you in a fun way, writing things for you, with FUN AND REAL examples, with drawings, ALWAYS STAYING 100% in English. That's correct, I will only speak English to you, because as you and I both know, you already speak English, and you have understood everything (or maybe 70%) of everything I just wrote. What you want is to improve or perfect your spoken English (we can work on writing, too). Immersion and fun, West Coast Style. And my university degree? Yes, I have two of them, in Languages and Literature, and I speak 4 fully fluent languages (working on number five currently), but for now I want you to learn English by HAVING FUN! My friends and prior students can tell you how fun it is to learn with me. HOPE WE GET TO PLAY TOGETHER SOON! You can do it! Groups ok.

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.

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.

Hello! I'm a native speaker with 10 years of experience in teaching English as a Second Language and Business English. I also offer proof-reading of essays, dissertations and business documents.

My speciality is particularly with Europeans who are attempting to improve their level for commercial, educational or career reasons.

A little about me: I'm Irish and recently moved back to Brussels - with my partner Filipa from Dublin and we are based in Uccle.

I'm looking forward to meeting new students and can meet either in person in Brussels e.g. at ULB (University Libre de Bruxelles), or in the comfort of your home - to be discussed. As a backup online through Zoom, but much prefer in-person, as it achieves better results.

Thanks and hope to hear from you soon. Kevin

Bachelor in English/Spanish Translation, and holder of a CAP diploma (Certificate of Teaching Aptitudes) I give private English lessons for pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, style, etc. through conversation. I taught English to groups of children in private schools, teenagers in remediation, then adults in the French Community of Belgium for 15 years. Belgian-American, I am native. I have traveled to London many times to visit art galleries and concerts with friends. I have stayed in the USA a large number of times because my family on my father's side lives there and family is important to me.

I provide teaching materials if necessary but a financial contribution for copies is required at the start of the course in addition to the amount of each lesson. I correct the errors by proposing one or more alternatives to the erroneous version but I do not cut the person off while they are speaking, I wait for the end of the sentence, the end of the paragraph, so as not to cut them off. fluidity. I also work by theme by providing copies with texts to read or grammar exercises to do, either at the moment or the next time. I give homework if it suits the student, otherwise, all the work is done in class, and the student reviews between sessions, for faster improvement in their level. We can also work on songs based on song lyrics. Texts based on press articles. It is necessary to be curious, to dare to ask questions, to dare to have a thirst for knowledge and a desire to learn, through trial and error. I use innovative methods. If I don't know how to answer a question, I write it down and answer it in the next class.

Specialized in teaching French and English, I offer general academic support for regular homework, preparation for the central jury or university admission exams.
I will adapt my way of working and my teaching methods according to my student and what he wants to improve: oral or written expression, grammar, reading and analysis of books (themes, characters), writing summaries of texts or arguments on subjects often given in the Central Jury exams or university admission exams.
I have experience working with teenagers and young adults, and my teaching also includes coaching. I am willing to travel to my student's home, and they are also welcome to visit me at my home (Uccle).

In Belgium, Dutch is a necessity, from primary school to professional life. Whether it is to succeed in a Dutch course at primary, secondary, university or high school, or to land a job or communicate more easily with your colleagues, I have the course you need !

With a mixture of theory (grammar, vocabulary) and various exercises, I adapt to your needs and desires. Do you work in a particular field that requires specific vocabulary? I gradually include it in the lessons so that learning the language is as useful as possible to you.

A little more about me: I am quadrilingual (French, English, Spanish and Dutch) and I love sharing my knowledge with other people. I have already given various English and Dutch lessons.
