    French lessons for professionnal or social needs. Native speaker teacher with a lot of experience in Brussels!

    I'm a 33 years old french teacher and I've been living here in Brussels for 11 years, 8 of them as a french teacher. Before that I studied political sciences and had a couple of experiences in public communication.
    As a teacher, I gave classes in languages centers (such as Berlitz or Semantics), so I worked and continue working in different environments like lawyer cabinets, hospitals, companies or NGO based in Brussels or with people learing french through unemployment programs). But I also give private lessons, like the one we might do together. This brought me to work with different linguistic, cultural and professionnal backgrounds as well as with very different age classes (from 5 to 65).
    My class is essentially based on improving communication skills, that is to say that I give an advantage to the practice of verbal expression, through simulations (of professional situations, like doing a public presentation or conducting a meeting,...) and conversation (around documents and medias like articles, audiovisual items,...).
    Nevertheless, when learning or doing the revision of grammar points is needed, I organize grammar items to work on too (the use of the subjonctif, la concordance des temps, how to express hypothesis,...). For that, I use primarly the book Grammaire Progressive du Français but can also use different material (I worked with some product of the editions Alter Ego more centered on workplace oriented needs for example).
    So my methode is "taylor-made" as I adapt the content around the needs of each students in term of their communication objectives.
    Don't hesitate to ask me if I forgot to mention anything in this quick profile!

If you want to improve your Spanish language skills or take the DELE exam I can also help you since I am an examiner at all levels. My lessons are more about speaking we can have some grammar explanations but most of the time we will be speaking in order to improve what we are learning.

    Claude
    Private French lessons - improvement and oral and written practice
    Spelling problems? Poor language skills? Does studying the rules seem tedious or even boring to you? That's understandable, but this might change your mind. Retired translator/journalist, I help you in the systematic study of grammar, with exercises, explanations and homework. Oral and written communication based on practice and exercises. Follow-up of tutoring provided and detailed review of unmastered material. Correction of pronunciation if necessary. Classes can be given in English or Italian if necessary. No very young children.

    Juliette
    Conversation in French, French courses for adults, academic support
    French is my native language, as well as the language in which I have completed my entire academic career. Having grown up with two languages, I therefore had the opportunity at a very young age to pass on French to the people who make up my family. I always find a way to adapt to your goals, at the pace that suits you best. I also offer proofreading and correction of documents.

    Pierre
    Dutch-speaking university student gives French lessons for Dutch speakers
    I aim my lesson at Dutch speakers who want to learn French, who have difficulties with it at school, or who simply want to refine their conversation skills. French is my native language, and I have studied Latin and Greek, which gave me a deeper understanding of French grammar and language.

    Anastasia
    Young teacher offers dynamic French lessons to all levels
    Bonjour! My name is Anastasia, I am a 24 years old French native and I am here to help you improve your French skills. I have been teaching students of various levels from all around the world for over 5 years. I have helped students prepare for French exams like the DELF, as well as those who are planning to move to a French-speaking country and need real-life language skills. I understand the challenges of learning a language, having learned two languages myself: English and Portuguese, and plan to learn more. I have faced difficulties, hit walls, and overcome them, and I believe that my experience as a language learner makes me a well-rounded teacher. However, I do not claim to know everything about teaching, as I am constantly learning. I tailor my teaching method to best suit the needs of my students. I use interactive resources such as images, videos, and texts to help my students learn effectively. For beginners, I recommend trying out the Pimsleur method, which is a 30-minute audio lesson based on gradual interval recall. This method reviews learned vocabulary at increasingly longer intervals and has been used by the CIA. If you are interested, we can discuss how to use this method together. I offer French lessons remotely through Skype, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams or at the students place. When the lesson is online, I use a platform that allows us to see and modify documents, images, and videos in real-time, which is very useful. I would be happy to help you on your French learning journey.

    French as a foreign language (FLE) course - Beginners, intermediate and advanced
    My name is Joy and I offer French as a foreign language (FLE) courses. French is my mother tongue, and I am passionate about my job, which I have been doing for 3 years. Dynamic, I like learning to take place in a good mood. My courses are adapted to your needs, your desires and your level. The first lesson serves to tie it all together, in addition to breaking the ice. My priority is to give my students confidence. All skills are covered, and it is also possible to focus lessons on production and oral comprehension (phonetics, accent reduction, etc.) as well as on specific objectives (FOS) If you are a secondary or higher education student and French is not your mother tongue, I can also give you academic support lessons. My classes are given online or at your home, depending on your location. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. See you soon Joy :)

    Private French lessons - all levels (French as a foreign language / advanced oral and written skills)
    The French language, what a hassle! Learning French is a real obstacle course !! Between the words that are not pronounced as they are written, the feminine / masculine, the conjugation of sleeping upright, the accents .... I am here to give you (re) taste this beautiful language thanks to a playful learning and inspired by speech therapy techniques. Depending on demand, we can work on the lexicon as well as reading, spelling, or even understanding text. I am also open to other areas. My journey : I obtained the speech therapist diploma at Marie Haps in 2019, while giving private lessons for a long time in parallel with my studies. Currently, I am a graduate of the Master's degree in speech therapy with a specialized focus.

    Jérôme
    FLE French course - tutoring - FOS (French objective) - I deliver French lessons to children, teens and adults.
    FLE teacher graduated from the Alliance française Bruxelles-Europe. I taught in Laos (1 year in a local school) in Peru (1 year in a college and in a French alliance), in Moscow (2 years in a private language school), in Brussels (6 month in an association that delivers courses to newcomers and the F9 for private and group lessons at the ULB). The type of teaching that I favor is based on active pedagogy, constant interaction of the learner with his teacher and his environment, a cultural exchange and a clear and precise understanding of the objectives to be achieved. To apply this practice I use a lot: authentic documents (radio and TV programs, articles, reports, songs, testimonials, ...), the role play (theatrical exercises), games are a founding element of my teaching (playful and recreational approach of the language), the debates (the experience and the personal history being the raw material to animate them), reading (books and comics: phonetics), the grammatical exercises in adequacy with the theme ( didactics of FLE and grammatical methodology)
