Learning general and business English through practice

From 41.09 £ /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.

About Me

My vast professional experience as a consultant in multi-cultural environments, my excellent communication, coordination, organization, 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.

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.

Hello everyone and welcome to my English and or German lessons taught in group. I organise English and German lessons for children and teenagers and separately adult English group lessons (beginners to advanced). For children and teenagers, interactive activities are used as a way to motivate them, help them remember what they have learned in class and make sure they will be able to apply their language skills in real life context.
For the adults lessons, depending on what the students are willing to learn, we can have discussions based on the news, some grammar, writing... I am open to any suggestions, just tell me your needs and I am going to adapt the next lessons for you. If you wish to invite your friends and make a group with them, just let me know and I will allocate you a time slot.

For private English lessons, please have a look at my other advertisements. The German lessons are usually for beginners/ intermediate (exceptionally advanced levels in German can be organised only if there is a high-demand).

Don't hesitate to contact me should you have further questions. It would be a huge pleasure to integrate you in one of my classes. :-) Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

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.).

Learning a language is a daily, lifelong process. English is spoken everywhere, Spanish is also widely spoken.

Having studied Spanish and English in secondary school, I then perfected it during my university studies. Today, I can interpret and translate easily.

The goal of learning a language, besides respecting grammatical forms, is above all to be able to express oneself in everyday life, or even to have elaborate conversations with people of a higher level. Everything is equal.

With my background, I can teach you how to express yourself more easily. I also just came back from a long trip to Mexico and Europe, especially Italy and Spain. So I'm very sharp.

For languages, it is also about respecting the person's pace and interests. It is in a good mood that we do things well.
