About Me

About Me – Learn English & French with Confidence!

Hi! I’m Théophile, a passionate English and French teacher with a background in communication and education. Teaching is more than just a job for me—it’s a way to connect, inspire, and help people grow. I believe that learning a language should be an exciting and rewarding experience, not something stressful or overwhelming.
What’s It Like to Learn with Me?

As a language learner myself (currently learning Korean!), I understand how intimidating it can be to start speaking. That’s why my approach is all about building confidence first. My lessons are designed to be interactive, engaging, and tailored to your needs.

✅ Encouraging & Supportive – Mistakes are part of learning! I create a safe space where you can practice without fear.
✅ Practical & Real-Life Focused – We’ll focus on the language you actually need, using real-world situations and cultural insights.
✅ Fun & Dynamic – No boring grammar drills! I use conversations, role-plays, videos, and interactive exercises to make learning enjoyable.
✅ Step-by-Step Progress – I adapt to your pace, helping you grow from basic conversation skills to fluency.

Why Learn with Me?

Because I know how scary it can be, but also how exciting it becomes when you gain confidence. My goal is to help you speak naturally and comfortably, whether for travel, work, exams, or personal growth.

Experience / Qualifications

I am currently working towards obtaining a French as a Foreign Language (FLE) certification, which will further enhance my ability to teach French effectively to non-native speakers. This certification will equip me with the latest teaching methodologies and strategies for helping learners succeed in mastering French.

Although I am still in the process of completing my certification, I have gained valuable teaching experience by working with a range of learners at different levels, especially beginner and intermediate students. My teaching focuses on building confidence, offering personalized lessons, and using interactive methods to make language learning engaging and practical.

In addition to my current studies, my background in communication and journalism allows me to adapt my lessons to suit different learning styles and ensure that my students understand the language both culturally and linguistically.

Through my experience, I’ve learned that confidence is key in language learning, and I aim to help each student feel comfortable and motivated to practice their new skills in real-world situations.

Santiago
Online virtual conversational English classes for adults
Hello, My name is Santiago and I am offering individual and personalized virtual English classes to improve both your oral and written communication. The main focus of my classes is focused on developing fluent and structured communication of the English language either to prepare international exams, including the TOEFL and the FCE, or to be able to communicate properly in the professional field or to reinforce and maintain prior knowledge of this language. I am a graduate, graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in the USA. Having learned English as a child at the Ivy Thomas Memorial School in Uruguay, and lived a year and a half in Thailand, followed by 4 years in the USA I acquired great knowledge and fluency in the English language. In Thailand I spent a year and a half studying communication arts, which helped me, prepare for my studies in the US. I had several communication classes, learning techniques of how to speak better using not only our words but also our body to help us speak more naturally, calmly, and without getting nervous if we get stuck or forget what we wanted to say. During my career in the US, I was constantly writing essays for my classes, in addition to having to present projects in front of my teachers and classmates. At the same time, I was working at university and after graduation I worked for a year, mainly having long phone conversations with people from all over the country. Nowadays the ability to communicate in English is essential and I am going to prepare you so that you can meet your goals. It could be, studying abroad, going to live in an English-speaking country, improving your communication in the professional field, or keep practicing so as not to lose the previously acquired level. If what you are looking for is to improve your knowledge of the English language, I will help you. My methodology is simple. Each person is different and I adapt the content of my classes to the needs and interests of my students. We all learn in different ways and at different times,

Kevin
Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

Robert
Learn French with a French-speaking teacher, 7 days a week
Hello to all of you! I welcome you to my profile. You would like to learn French and I would also like to teach you French. Fortunately, French is my native language. I live in Brussels where I have taught many French courses to French speakers and also to non-French speakers in the framework of FLE (French as a Foreign Language), mostly face-to-face and also some distance learning. I want to expand the use of distance learning. Hence my presence on this site. My greatest wish is to help you make as much progress as possible in French. To this end, I use a judicious combination of oral and written exchanges. I use these conversations to introduce grammatical concepts and expand your vocabulary. All this in a fun and friendly atmosphere! You will have to express yourself a lot in French, because my level of Dutch is average. In fact, I speak it at a "normal" pace, but with a more limited vocabulary and expressions than yours. This may seem a little frustrating at first, but it is a real benefit to you as it forces you to express yourself in French as much as possible! It's all in your favor! Please contact me as soon as possible so that we can start a fruitful cooperation.
