Sharing the pleasure of words - private lessons in French and literature

From 23.22 £ /h

Just graduated from the National School of Visual Arts of La Cambre with great distinction after a master's in scenography (September 2019), I continue my artistic activity today by collaborating with several directors, while developing my practice of the writing (prose mixed with the tone of the essay, theatrical monologue, short story...) in various forms, ranging from books to installations. Attached to the musicality of the French language and the imaginations of literature, I am committed to transmitting this pleasure of words to others, in an instinctive, hybrid, nourishing and joyful approach.
On the program: reading and study of literary works freely chosen, grammar and spelling points adapted to needs, homework help, pronunciation and expression work. I am sensitive to the idea of rewarding learning where knowledge is transmitted horizontally, no longer from teacher to student, but from one potential to another potential. Sharing knowledge is for me a fundamental point in opening up to the world, and it is with attention, curiosity and enthusiasm that I intend to help.

About Me

Just graduated from the National School of Visual Arts of La Cambre after a master's in scenography (September 2019), I continue my artistic activity today by collaborating with several directors, while developing my writing practice (prose mixed with the tone of the essay, theatrical monologue, short story…) in various forms, ranging from books to installations. Attached to the musicality of the French language and the imaginations of literature, I am committed to transmitting this pleasure of words to others, in an instinctive, hybrid and joyful approach. Other sides of the narrative, drawing and painting feed my research, and it is with pleasure that I propose to share the techniques.

Exercise your gaze and imagination: appropriate techniques of drawing and painting

30.37 £ /h

To draw or paint is to seek to pay attention to the world and to try to understand it with singularity. Because pencils and brushes are tools for everyone, a sensitive, realistic or stylized, technical or imaginative image can be born of anyone who wants to take on the game of lines, colors, and stories without words.
Concerned about a rewarding learning where the knowledge is transmitted horizontally, no longer from the teacher to the student, but from a potential to another potential, it is with attention, curiosity and enthusiasm that I intend to support those who wish to practice it.

After obtaining my Master in Communication, I followed a training to become a teacher of French as a foreign language.
Through games, conversations and grammar exercises, I teach my students to speak and write French while trying to meet their expectations.

With a bachelor's degree in speech therapy, I offer an individualized pedagogy according to the needs of the student. Assistance in preparing for exams and revisions as well as self-assessment tests will be offered regularly. My goal is to make the student progress without overloading him. I give homework to do after each lesson and provide weekly progress reports. The program will have to be agreed with the student himself, according to his abilities and needs.

I am bilingual (French / English) and I can teach beginner French (s). French mother tongue, I offer individual lessons and group tutorials if necessary. My methods, which have been described as fun and interactive by my students, include visual aids, music and hands-on sessions. We learn, but it's also important to have fun and enjoy the process

Being a student myself, I have the advantage of understanding the student.
I think that studying a language is not only about learning vocabulary lists.
I have been teaching for 7 years, and have already helped around fifty students of different ages.
My Erasmus in Manchester in a situation of total bilingualism has enriched the way I teach and I can pride myself on guaranteeing a fast and pleasant progression! ;)
-> NOBODY has "no gift" for languages, the key is just to let you guide.

Beginner: A language for a foreigner is above all new sounds to expand and train. You are a beginner, I will prepare you to feel at ease with the musicality of French.
Intermediate: we will make a list of your achievements and fill in your gaps
confirmed: we will sharpen your skills to make you almost French-speaking
student: literature, grammar, spelling.... will no longer have any secrets for you
I always work with a book adapted to your level and your needs.
Everything is done so that you speak and that listening to me is the corrected echo of your errors.
Looking forward to offering you your first lesson with me

I can offer conversation classes at very different levels, from informal discussions with idiomatic expressions to business negotiation dialogues.

As for the pronunciation of French, it is a real challenge because written French is often very different from its articulation.

The verbo-tonal method that I use, and which is often used by speech therapists, is particularly suitable for correcting French pronunciation for those of you who are not native French speakers, but also for native French speakers who wish to get rid of an accent.

We will work on the sounds of the language integrated into the sentence, the rhythm, the intonation and considered as a living and evolving system.

This method is very effective. You will see your progress very quickly and your self-confidence will allow you to overcome any reluctance you may have had before to express yourself in public. For others, having a more neutral pronunciation in French can be a significant asset professionally.

I gave French as a foreign language lessons for about three years, to children and adults. After a two-year break, here I am back to start teaching French as a foreign language again.

I speak several languages, and this taught me to understand how to learn a language. I know what non-French speakers go through, what process they have to go through in order to learn French.

I adapt each time my way of teaching at the request of the student. I prefer to create the course with the student (if he or she also prefers it, of course) so that I can best meet the needs of the person I am teaching. Indeed, everyone has a different way of learning, understanding and retaining new things. It is therefore essential in my eyes to be able to adapt as much as possible to the student.

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.

Specializing in translation and teaching French (abroad), I offer general academic support for homework and reviewing concepts of French linguistics, grammar and spelling.
My course is aimed at lower/upper secondary school students and higher education and university students; I have experience in preparing for the central jury, university entrance exams and students studying linguistics, translation and speech therapy.

I will adapt my way of working and my teaching methods according to my student and what he wants to improve: oral or written expression, reading and analysis of books (themes, characters), writing summaries of texts or arguments on subjects often given in the Central Jury exams or university admission exams.
I have experience working with teenagers and young adults, and my teaching also includes coaching. I am willing to travel to my student's home, and they are also welcome to visit me at my home (Uccle).

I offer French courses for non-French speakers, tailored to the learner's level, needs, wishes, and goals. The course will evolve as the learner progresses.
This can be done at the learner's home, at my home (Forest, Brussels), or possibly (occasionally) via webcam.

Throughout my school career, I have acquired a rigorous working method and a real ability to adapt to different levels and subjects. I myself have benefited from good academic support, and today I would like to pass on these keys to success to students who need them.

What I propose

Homework help/Academic support for primary, middle/high school and higher education students (in my field of study).

Academic support in various subjects: French, mathematics, history-geography, languages (French, English, Spanish), as needed.

Organization and work methodology: learn to plan, summarize effectively, and revise methodically.

Regarding the course structure, the goal is to adapt to the student and their needs. It is entirely possible to:

-help the student with his homework by providing educational support
- review lessons for a test/exam
- explore a concept seen in class in more depth
- work on a working/learning methodology

Of course, this can also be defined by the time of the school year (holidays, approaching exams, etc.)

Having recently graduated with a master's degree in literary translation (English/Spanish), I offer tutoring and homework help.

I have several years of experience in the field of education, I have notably given English and Spanish lessons and provided homework help to students of all ages (from 6 to 66 years old :) ). I have also worked as an educator and supervisor in primary and secondary schools.

I support students by focusing on the difficulties they encounter, helping them with their homework, and simultaneously guiding them to develop the necessary methodology and lessons. My goal is to enable them to achieve true autonomy in their learning, by developing their analytical skills, rigor, and self-confidence.
I adapt my teaching methods to each individual, taking into account their pace, interests, and personal goals. Through a supportive yet structured approach, I strive to make each session stimulating and constructive, so that learners can make lasting progress while rediscovering the joy of learning.
