Présentation

I’m a dedicated chess coach and 2200 rated player on Chess.com with a strong focus on helping students improve efficiently and enjoy the game at the same time.

My teaching style is structured, practical, and adapted to each student. I don’t believe in overwhelming students with theory instead, I focus on helping you understand key ideas, patterns, and decision-making so you can apply them in real games.

I work with a wide range of students, from complete beginners learning the basics to ambitious players looking to reach intermediate or advanced levels. Whether your goal is to win more games online, compete seriously, or simply enjoy chess more, I will build a training plan that fits you.

In my lessons, we typically combine tactics training, game analysis, and strategic concepts. I also provide feedback between sessions and clear guidance on what to study to keep improving.

I’m patient, focused, and results-oriented, and I aim to make every lesson both productive and engaging.

My name is Ségolène (26 years old). I have a double degree from KULeuven with a Master of Business Administration (NL/EN) as well as the agrégation (Educatieve Master). I worked for 2 years in insurance and currently work at Odoo.

My mother tongue is French, but from a very young age, I was educated in Dutch, which allowed me to become perfectly bilingual. I love supporting my students and seeing them progress. I offer academic support in any subject but also to help them learn how to learn, become better organized, and gain confidence.

MY EXPERIENCE :

I helped several students to pass the CE1D exam in Dutch (written, oral, listening comprehension). In addition, I also assisted students with their homework and for various subjects at secondary level (Maths, Handel (commerce), Sciences: WO, NW...).
Finally, it is also possible for younger children to learn Dutch in a fun way (language games, educational games).

During a test carried out on the CLL site to assess my level (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 or C2), I obtained the result C2: "The student expresses himself appropriately in n' any situation, by dominating the linguistic and cultural elements proper to a native speaker and by knowing how to distinguish shades of meaning."

I specialize in tutoring subjects such as Math, Geography, History, Political Science, and Economics.

My language lessons are always tailored to the student. I provide interaction, the pupil will be encouraged from the start to experiment with the Dutch language, always within the pupil's own perception of the world, so that what is learned is placed in a personal context and automatically supplemented with elements that are specific to the pupil.
I have a number of fine methodologies at my disposal, but I also work with ease with material that the pupil has brought from school or from home, or else will select material to measure.
I have been teaching Dutch as a second language for 20 years and have a master's degree in education with a specialization in learning disabilities.

I help you prepare your homework and tests but also to better understand the subject with which you are having difficulty (English, French, mathematics).

👋Hello! Need a boost in English? Do you want to develop a valuable asset within a company? Take school or university exams? Do you have the words in mind but they don't come out when an English speaker asks you?
👉I am happy to accompany you on your way.

We start our learning with a first session in which we define your desires and / or needs in English, together we draw your learning objectives and preferences. I suggest a route to get there, and we schedule our sessions according to your availability.

A course can take place in the following way:

1 - Hello!
2 - Warm-up (Games, Quiz, discussion).
3 - Preparation (discovery of key words useful for understanding and expression).
4 - Global understanding (elucidating the meaning of a text, a video, etc.).
5 - Detailed comprehension (focus on language elements).
6 - Appropriation of the content (personal, written or oral expression).
7 - Linguistic feedback, corrections and improvements.

For who ?
For you.

- If all you can say is "WhEre iS bRiaN?"
- If you can more or less understand but have difficulty expressing yourself.
- If you just want to practice speaking, improve your fluency.

Je suis institutrice depuis 8 ans et j’ai eu la chance d’enseigner dans les trois cycles de l’école primaire (1-2, 3-4 et 5-6). Actuellement, je travaille en 3e primaire.

Pour moi, enseigner c’est avant tout donner à chaque enfant l’accès à l’apprentissage, mais aussi trouver les bonnes stratégies pour l’aider à dépasser ses difficultés. J’accorde beaucoup d’importance à la remédiation, à la patience et à l’encouragement, afin que chaque élève progresse à son rythme et retrouve confiance en lui.

- Accompagnement personnalisé
- Méthodes adaptées
- Bienveillance et écoute

Mon objectif : aider chaque enfant à avancer sereinement et à prendre plaisir à apprendre ! :)

Au plaisir de vous accompagner

My goal is to restore confidence, explain things differently when necessary, and turn challenges into real successes. I primarily prepare students for the CE1D exam. First, we work together on each skill assessed during this test. Then, I guide the student through the practice of all these skills so they can approach the exam in its entirety with confidence and method.
Regarding the price, if you have financial difficulties, do not hesitate to inform me, we will find a solution. Money has never been a problem for me, the main thing is that your child improves his level and passes his exams.
