About Me

Dear all,
I've been teaching for 28 years now ( I really don't look that old though :). Teaching is my passion. I love it and couldn't imagine doing anything else. I am currently a teacher and coordinator at an amazing International school in Brussels. I have a knack for teaching little children to read and write (phonetically). I am a spontaneous, imaginative, fun teacher. I work using common sense and a feel for the class/student. I give small group lessons, 3-4 children. This makes lessons more fun and adds a healthy sense of competition which in turn increases progress. I teach at my place, close to Square Ambiorix and Schuman.

Education

Primary, secondary at a Catholic school in Kuala Lumpur.

A levels (English Law, Literature, Economics), LMC (London Montessori Degree), Piano Graduate (Royal English board of music)

Experience / Qualifications

I used to be a Montessori teacher for 10 yrs (LMC degree). The only time I wasn't a teacher was when I was head hunted in Asia, to work in the Research and Development Department of a Kindergarten Franchise that had just opened. Created their school books, produced, sang and recorded their educational songs.

I was also their teacher trainer. Trained their over 200 teachers. They had around 20 kindergartens all over South East Asia. Loved that job too! It had me travelling to many lovely destinations - Singapore, Thailand, Phillipines, Malaysia, to train!).
But marriage brought me here to Belgium where I got back into my first love, teaching.
I've completed my Grade 8 Piano, Theory and Practical and give piano lessons to children.
My son is a final year student at St André school. He offers French lessons, French school homework help (all subjects) for primary school children. Happy to come to your place if the location is feasible. He has been tutoring for 2 years now.

Private lessons

Annelise
Native English teacher for children and teenagers.
I've been teaching English to small children up to teenagers at École Française Internationale. I give lessons for beginners and intermediate levels. I mix between French and English so the pupil doesn't get too confused, but also allows them to understand every detail. For beginners, we usually talk about our surroundings, what's close to us and what affects us on a daily basis. (Numbers, directions, the weather, asking simple questions, what's a noun and pronoun and where to put them in a sentence). I like to find playful activities so that the pupil/student is in control of their work. It also stimulates their motivation. Of course, this is an example for a certain age group, but it also varies depending on their knowledge and their age. For intermediates, we make basic conversation. Ex: How do you go to school; What do you do in your free time? ; What's the weather like? The lessons depend on whether the student is learning for their personal knowledge or if it's for school. -------------------------------- The start of the course with a new learner consists of detecting their level by talking about their background, what they already know, what they must master in order to no longer have any gaps. The first lesson also allows the learner to get comfortable and get to know me to establish mutual trust. That’s why I use a touch of my British humor to achieve this. (I generally do this at the start of the lesson with my students to establish a good mood and they are always delighted!) To help the learner better engage with the learning, I will ask them what their passions/hobbies are, this who interests him to arouse interest in learning. I will adapt my lessons on subjects that speak to him more. Depending on age and level of knowledge of English, the method will vary. I play with songs if it's for vocabulary or accent, it helps me memorize better and what's better in song... Everyone listens to music! No matter the reason for the course, if it is to improve oral, written, reading or listening comprehension, I organize audio sessions, readings, everything necessary to deepen the language using the active pedagogy that I learned during my CAP training. I can play the news from the BBC news channel, the weather forecast, the trailer for a film. My goal is for the learner to evolve gradually with as few gaps as possible.

Julie
English lessons for beginners and advanced by webcam
Hey you! Do you want to learn English or improve it? You are in the right place! English is one of the most common and useful languages in the world, whether for work, travelling, watching series in original version, understanding your favorite American or English star... What? An English course for both beginners and advanced, both for children and adults... we discover the basics of the language, grammar and useful vocabulary in a fun way, or we deepen these knowledge, with some revisions if necessary. Obviously, we will tackle all skills: reading, writing, speaking and hearing. Who? I'm Julie, a fan of languages, I've already mastered almost four, and I always want to discover new ones. English has (almost) no more secrets for me. I'm also a photographer and a photography teacher on the side, so I have a background in building lessons with lots of practice. How? For one to two hours (two hours recommended to progress more efficiently), I always prepare my lessons specially and in an up-to-date way, using recent articles, relevant and useful vocabulary on a daily basis. Classes are currently only taking place online, as I am not in Belgium. When? Well, whenever you want! As soon as possible, to improve your English tomorrow! So what are you waiting for?

Serdane
English courses for high school students or adults
My name is Serdane and I offer English lessons to high school students and adults who find it difficult to develop a way of working that suits them. Extroverted and bubbly... and above all, full of humor! I believe that language learning is based above all on the development of an appropriate learning method. Some learn languages intuitively by engaging in conversations. Others, on the contrary, need rigorous exposure to grammatical concepts before launching into conversations. There are as many ways to learn as there are students... That's why I adapt my lessons to everyone's needs, and above all, I try to help each student discover what works for him, so that he can continue to progress independently. My areas of expertise: - Enhancement - catching up - Grammar reviews - Conversation course - Work method (organization, schedule of revisions, etc.) My price includes complete academic support (private lessons, the possibility of asking questions outside of class hours, writing and correcting questions, etc.). I produce all of my course materials for each student. So there is no need for you to buy a learning book. However, if you are already working from a book, it is entirely possible for me to adapt to it. Nice to meet you! :-)

Jim
Private English lessons for children - teenagers - adults
I support anyone wishing to learn or improve their English, intended for both children and adults. Being bilingual French-English by birth, I easily juggle between the two languages. I adapt to your needs: whether it is to work on grammar, learn vocabulary or practice speaking, I develop my courses according to your request. My method consists of transforming the course into a fun activity, in order to make it a pleasant moment rather than a burden for the student. By changing the learner's state of mind, he is more receptive, more focused, he retains more easily and this motivates him to persevere in learning.

Keir
English & French - classes /support for children, teenagers and adults
What to expect? Young children - More of a game/activity learning method but also involves learning a broad scheme of things. It is in a way, an introduction to the basics of the language. Teenagers - Usually involve set goals to reach by a certain period (for school). The teaching method and intensity depends on the amount of catching up to do. If no catch up is required a more friendly learning method can be applied depending on the learner's interests. Adults - More of a discussion-based learning method, depending on the experience of the learner. And can be oriented more towards specific subjects or domains chosen by the learner. It can involve course work or tasks to be done. Why me? I was born in Scotland but I grew up mostly in the french-speaking part of Belgium so I would say that both English and French are my natal languages. I have decent knowledge of the various English cultures, vocabulary, and grammar. Having traveled for a year in North America and having lived in Australia, Ireland, and Britain. My mother is an english teacher in a secondary school and has given private english lessons ever since we moved to Belgium when I was six years old . I have participated or helped in many classes when needed. I have access to a ton of material and her personal knowledge if I or we are experiencing a problem that we can't seem to solve. Or an issue the learner is experiencing that is preventing him/her from advancing. I am a very "auto-ditact" person who tries to maximize the resources I have and the ones I have access to. I am good at understanding and solving problems and I believe that I can apply this to teaching as well. I am a very professional person that tries to stay as relaxed and calm as possible. I am also extremely patient and have a lot of dedication. If there is a deadline and a goal to meet, I will try my very best to make things work. Additional info I also know the humiliation that we sometimes feel when speaking a foreign language. I try to be as impartial and non-judgemental as I can in order to make the person feel as relaxed as possible when communicating with them.

Guillermo
Licensee in Translation and Interpretation gives Spanish, English and Spanish translation courses
Hello! I have just graduated in translation and interpretation (English and Arabic to Spanish) in Seville (Spain) and I am available to teach English, Spanish and translation. These courses are conducted at all levels, both individually and collectively. For my classes, I offered a personalized training adapted to the student, centered on his needs. If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact me. ¡Hasta luego!

Ruben
Homework Help and General Culture Course (Beginner and Intermediate)
I propose a homework course punctuated with general notions related to Francophone culture (literary, historical, artistic). I believe that a strong cultural base can strengthen skills in a more sustainable way. Indeed, multi-disciplinary training allows a more global understanding of the world. Our school system, which is too sectorized, lacks a foundation of General Culture and I believe that this will enable future citizens to adapt better to the realities of the labor market. This course is based primarily on an assessment of skills and gaps to build an exchange based on trust and student appreciation.

Conversation, grammar, reading and listening exercises in English
I am comfortable giving you language lessons, either focusing on grammar, conversation, or reading and comprehension exercises. I have a degree from Cambridge University, so you will learn classical English and not dialectic. In the first lesson we will discuss the book that we will use, which depends on your requirements and your level.
