Learning general and business English through practice

Van 46 € /h

The key to learning a language is repetition through constant use through reading, listening, speaking and writing, and therefore requires endeavour, perseverance and patience.

This course promotes fluency in both oral and written communications.

The course activities includes: a.) general/business topic discussions based on events, articles from the web, and written materials, b.) listening and reading activities, and c.) in-class/homework written/oral exercises. These activities are selected to tailor to the needs of the participant. They help to improve pronunciation, enhance vocabulary and expressions and create simple to complex structures following correct grammatical syntax, usage and rules.

Over

My vast professional experience as a consultant in multi-cultural environments, my excellent communication, coordination, organisation, planning, presentation, courseware development and teaching skills, and my knowledge of several languages were the most important factors of success throughout my professional experience.

With English as one of my mother tongues and the language I’ve used in my work experiences as a consultant, a courseware developer and course coach/trainer, I am confident that I could help develop one's English in an effective way.

I will be available in July and August for any remediation.
Given the circumstances and the new measures taken by the authorities regarding the health crisis, normal courses will not resume until the beginning of September.

From beginner to advanced, oral and / or written English language course as used in everyday life in the UK.
I offer help with exam preparation but also with the follow-up of courses, the refresher, whether at school level or at all professional levels. I can also possibly help with translations of English-French and French-English texts and themes
I am of British origin and have been in Belgium for about 3 years.
My goal is to get the student to think in English so that he does not have to translate into his head anymore.

I’m a native English business professional with over 40 years of international experience. During my career I’ve lived and worked in the United States, Scotland and Belgium while doing business in all regions of the world. I have worked at all lèves of management and in addition to running a business for a private company have also owned and started two other businesses on my own.

I offer the opportunity for professionals to use me as a sounding board for their activities while simultaneously fine-tuning their use of English. I’ve been doing this activity for over ten years and can provide references on request. My clients have been diverse who work in the fields of law, medicine, science, government, manufacturing, services, etc. My diverse professional and educational background gives me the ability to converse on virtually any subject that my clients require.

Studying marketing in Flanders, I usually communicate in Dutch. I also have a degree in English at C1 level. I therefore offer my help for primary and secondary students to help them for any work, homework or questions. Patience is one of my qualities so even if the student has big difficulties, I am ready to take up the challenge!

Language is such a powerful tool in your everyday life. Dutch and English are my speciality. I would recommend immersing your children in different languages from an early age. It will be so much easier for them to pick up and use later on in their life. I have taught for many years as a nursery teacher for children from different backgrounds and now I am a ESL teacher. As a mother of 2 trilingual children, I have the ability to adjust to your child's speed of learning and adjusting my lesson plan to their needs and focus span. Interactive learning during playing is the best way to teach young children and toddlers.

Having given lessons in the three languages, I put myself very easily at the level of the student in order to give him all the tools necessary for learning the desired language. The first meeting will be used to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the student in order to find the best remedy to correct the weak points.

I also help with the writing of any document in one of the three languages (end-of-study work, essays, etc.).

English courses for all ages and levels.

Is your child having difficulty following the language of Shakespeare and you are no further ahead than them?
Are you a university student and have Dutch classes in your curriculum even though it is not your strong point, or are you planning an Erasmus stay in an English-speaking country?
Are you an adult and want to add a new language to your skills or specialize in a particular field?
A graduate in conference interpreting and a Dutch/English > French translator with over 10 years of experience, I offer support/improvement courses for all ages and levels. Together, we will determine the learner's needs and I will create a personalized program to help achieve the set goals. I adapt my method according to what best suits the learner.
Result: a gain in skills and confidence!
