My courses are for those who want or need to know French for one reason or another. The meetings are adapted to the needs, the time, the desires of each one. You define the objective: my job is to enable you to reach it as quickly and as naturally as possible. The material and method correspond to your needs. Whether your motivation is professional, cultural, academic, tourist, whatever your level, I propose a solution.

I aim my lesson at Dutch speakers who want to learn French, who have difficulties with it at school, or who simply want to refine their conversation skills.
French is my native language, and I have studied Latin and Greek, which gave me a deeper understanding of French grammar and language.

My name is Huyen and I have held a diploma in teaching French (foreign language - FLE) since 2012 from the Higher Institute of Translators and Interpreters (now attached to the Free University of Brussels). Former interpreter at the Lille High Court, I am now a teacher.

I offer French lessons for children. I know that learning a new language can be intimidating at first, and improving is quite a challenge. However, everyone learns in their own way and at their own pace. This is why the course content and teaching method will change from one student to another. The lessons will be developed and adapted according to the student's level but also their needs and learning style. During lessons, I will emphasize active learning and try to interact with the student as much as possible.

With your goals in mind, let's work together so you can achieve the fluency you need to communicate with more confidence!

I like to use different methods to teach French to students. It can be through songs, drama, role play or videos. I also very often use situations close to the student's experience, such as describing places they have been or talking about what they have experienced. At the same time, I teach the grammar rules to the student. I now live in regions where French has been spoken for over 30 years. Because I have learned French myself (and I am still learning other languages), I can easily put myself in a student's shoes. I can teach in French, Dutch, English, German and Russian.

Follow-up of tutoring provided and detailed review of unmastered material.
Correction of pronunciation if necessary.
Classes can be given in English or Italian if necessary.
No very young children.

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).

The courses are aimed at high school students, literature students, and adults learning French (FLE). Through courses tailored to their needs, learners will consolidate their French skills, either from a strictly linguistic or literary perspective.

As for the language, we will be able to work on different aspects: grammar, conjugation, syntax rules, written and oral expression.

More experienced learners, in rhetoric and at university, will be able to consolidate their skills in written expression and literary analysis.

It is about progressing realistically and at the learner's own pace, and developing methods that allow for long-term improvement.

French courses for all levels aimed at improving language skills, both oral and written: structuring discourse, mastering writing, improving diction and preparing for oral presentations in an academic or professional setting.

Passionate about the French language, I now wish to share what reading gave me from a very young age: a love of words, nuances, and ideas. As a teenager, I was an avid reader of dystopian novels. Over time, my interest in debate has become a driving force: it motivates me to enrich my vocabulary, refine my arguments, and bring the language to life more fully, both orally and in writing. As a French teacher, I want to offer a dynamic and stimulating learning experience, where progress is made through understanding, discussion, and building confidence, whether it's improving expression, grammar, writing, or public speaking skills.

Writer and poet with 2 books published at only 18 years old with several media appearances (debates on RTBF, RTL, etc.) I am also a finalist in the ELSA 2024 eloquence competition. An experienced and attentive teacher, it is important to me to make each of my students feel comfortable by patiently responding to their individual needs.

Communication is a fairly broad topic. During the courses, we address the specific needs of the student, covering writing, improving register, oral language, eloquence, gestures, languages (English, French), digital communication, and much more!
