English - Speak and write as a native. Communicate with ease and without stress

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I did [almost] all my schooling in English *** In your head you master the texts of Shakespeare and could make you look like a poet in English. Except you're just coming to London or New York and while you're still at the airport, you're told, "Shall I take care of your luggage for you?"
And there, disaster! You say, almost reflexively, "Yes, Hello, Thank you!" And hop you embark your unique suitcase and you have to follow ... And then you try to politely refuse but it only gets worse ...
"Aim, uh, I take .. you .. uh .. stay, no need! - I do not need help, no need how do you say that? - ah yes, need! uh .. me not need help .. I take! "
And here is your beautiful phrase 'poetic' is actually a collection of words put together against their will and having neither tail nor head.

My approach is focused on oral communication, so if you're tired of having the words somewhere in your head but not knowing when or how to get out, I'm here to help!

Ideally, you know the basic rules of English grammar, but you have trouble formulating [complete] sentences or having a conversation in English. You are not afraid of homework such as: talking to strangers in English, watching a program in English, or writing a short story telling a story

I focus on everyday English and Business English, but if you want to learn more complicated words or want to learn how to write beautiful English texts, it's also possible!

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am flexible and very patient. I myself have 2 little brothers that I often helped in their homework.
I am dedicated to my work and am very perseverant. I like a job well done and I'm demanding of myself and my students too - it means that I like to set goals with my students and reach them.
I lived in several countries in my childhood - including Senegal, Benin, Cameroon, and Belgium - where I learned English, making me a perfect bilingual French-English. I have studied in the Netherlands for the last 3 years, partly to learn Dutch, which I speak and write now fluently.
I like sport, reading and adventure :)

I give remedial lessons in maths, physics, and English for students of all ages, eager to fill in their gaps or refine their knowledge. I have a very simple approach. 1. I analyze the subject of the student and denote the sections that I find essential to understand. 2. I think of exercises that can reinforce the notions required to understand the subject. These exercises are often both theoretical and practical. For example: to calculate the speed of a car, I will first explain clearly what distance and time represent in relation to speed, and once these notions are understood, I will give an exercise that puts the student in real life by making him imagining that he drives a car going at a certain speed. 3. I continue to explain important concepts / concepts through examples and let the student complete the exercises that I would have chosen beforehand while gradually leaving him more and more freedom and independence. 4. Once I feel that the student has understood, I test his mastery by confronting him with a more complex situation and asks him the solution. 5. We discuss his answer together and according to his understanding, I repeat steps 2-5. As you can see, my approach is based on three pillars (the three E's): Listening, Exercises, Explanation

English - learn by doing (from perfecting the language to teaching the basics to upgrading)
In the case of tutoring, I base my lessons on the subject seen by the student by explaining to him in another way with many examples and by making him practice as much as possible. In case of learning the basics, I have set up my own totally interactive method so that the student can practice and during which I speak almost only in English to be close to immersion during the lessons. Do not hesitate to contact me for: - learn the basics - prepare for a test - have support for your lessons - practice the language - ... Whatever your needs, I take a practical and fun approach to English because, in my opinion, it is the best way to learn.

English lessons (speaking or writing) with a British Native Speaker
I am a British native english speaker working in Brussels, looking to help anyone who wants to improve either their spoken or written english in a professional or social context. My goal is to be flexible and focus on exactly what you want to improve, having some experience in privately tutoring English to French and Dutch children before.

I know you speak it. I WILL FIX IT! West Coast (California) English. We walk, we talk, I correct! FUN! Learn by playing !
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 39 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 Literatures, and I speak 4 fully fluent languages, but for now I want you to learn by HAVING FUN! My friends can tell you how fun it is to learn with me. HOPE WE GET TO PLAY TOGETHER SOON! You can do it! Groups ok.

MATH / ECONOMY / ENGLISH private lessons tailor-made - Support & School Coaching
Are you a student and have this anxiety about certain subjects? Do you feel that someone else speaks another language to you during the course? Are you overwhelmed by the quantity and speed of the teacher? Are you just not satisfied with your results? Are you a parent and do you feel helpless when facing your child's difficulties? Do not hesitate! I am Liza and I have been helping many students in math for over 10 years but also to relieve parents from this feeling of helplessness in the face of their children's shortcomings. Math can scare some people. I myself went through a great deal of misunderstanding until I found the method and approach necessary to fully master this dreaded class of students. I offer private lessons to students with specific shortcomings, but also to those with more general needs. My classes are tailor-made for each student. I teach from the first primary to the retho. My method is simple and effective. As a school coach, my goal is above all to understand where the difficulties come from. Each student is different, so it is important to create an effective and tailor-made work methodology. Over the years, I have developed structured and fun keys for everyone. I learned about all the school programs in Namur, but also gained experience in other countries around the world. The purpose of the first meeting is to get to know the student and determine his current level of mathematics, what are his strengths and weaknesses, and what are the goals to be achieved. That is why, during the first session I do with the student a thorough work on the methodology to adopt to facilitate the understanding of the concepts and optimize their return. On the basis of this observation, I define with the pupil and his parents an educational strategy (notions to be reviewed as a priority, working method, duration and frequency of classes) designed to best meet the student's objectives. Then I adapt and base my course on the student program while customizing it according to the student and his needs. Even though theory is very often the least appreciated part, I make sure that my student understands its usefulness in different exercises and problems. To ensure good understanding, I organize exercise sessions and tests. The duration of the course is 2 hours. I always advise 2 hours because it's the perfect time to have the time to: - Identify and fill persistent gaps - Establish effective learning methods - Incorporate reasoning mechanisms - Learn how to restore your knowledge My students greatly appreciate the organization and the clarity of my explanations. Once followed and mastered, success is assured. With Liza it is a relief for parents and a success for children.

English, spoken and grammar, test prep, Croatian/Serbian spoken and grammar
As a child of diplomates, my entire life has been colored with a variety of languages, places, cultures. In the process, having learned the importance of languages, I have made it my mission to help those who want to learn, regardless of their age. My goal is to help everyone who is eager to learn! This includes guidance and mentorship in all areas, including spoken English and Croatian/Serbian/Montenegrin as well as grammar. I believe that my teaching methods are very easy to grasp, not overwhelming, and most importantly, efficient!

I would like to share my knowledge and my knowledge of English for the first time, during one-time or one-off courses. I have already taught high school and university students, which allowed them to pass their end-of-year exam. Whatever your age, I propose to help you improve your level of English.

Homework help and French-English-German-Italian-Spanish language lessons

Polyglot, I master French, English, German, Spanish and Italian and am able to explain the grammar, as well as to propose nice exercises to learn these languages.
