For motivated students who want to learn French with a smile ;-)

From 31.46 £ /h

I like to use different methods to teach French to students. It can be through songs, drama, role play or videos. I also very often use situations close to the student's experience, such as describing places they have been or talking about what they have experienced. At the same time, I teach the grammar rules to the student. I now live in regions where French has been spoken for over 30 years. Because I have learned French myself (and I am still learning other languages), I can easily put myself in a student's shoes. I can teach in French, Dutch, English, German and Russian.

About Me

Hello, my name is Marcel, I am Dutch and I love languages. I really enjoy teaching languages or practicing them either by speaking, reading or writing. I have lived in several different European countries and have met a lot of different people with different accents. I learned French in France, but now I've been living in Brussels for 20 years. Today I speak French fluently, but it didn't happen overnight, so I know the difficulties of learning another language. I am married and a father of two children (14 and 11) whom I educate in Dutch. As they grow up in a predominantly French-speaking environment, I see and work with them the problems they encounter. I also take Russian lessons (so I know what it's like to be a student). I can teach in French, English, German, Russian and of course in Dutch :-) Looking forward to meeting you!

Education

I studied in the Netherlands where I lived until I had the of 23. I did the equivalent of a graduate in tourism there - for two years I have been training as a coach.

Dynamic Dutch courses with a smiling native speaker ;-)

I use several methods which are specially conceived to teach Dutch to people who have a different mother tongue. I really like to use methods out of the ordinary like role games or methods with which you learn while playing. All these adapted to the student's situation of course. As I learned myself a couple of other languages, it is easy for me to detect difficulties a student can encounter and adapt the way of learning. I can teach in English, French, German and Russian.

I am a French teacher. I have been teaching French, language, and communication since 2012. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English, and a little Turkish.
I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice.
During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps.
And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level.

Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.

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.

Whether you want to learn, improve or deepen your knowledge of a language, you're in the right place!

Holding two master's degrees in Romance and Germanic languages and literatures, I have over 18 years of experience in teaching languages at primary, secondary and university levels.
Specializing in culturally diverse educational contexts, I have lived and taught in Latin America (Ecuador and Brazil), the United States, Spain, and Dutch-speaking Belgium. These experiences have allowed me to reach a near-native level in Portuguese, Spanish, English, and Dutch.

My goal is first and foremost to develop your understanding of the language, so that oral expression can develop gradually and with confidence.
How ?
Through dynamic and contextualized teaching methods: concrete activities, role-playing and interactive exercises.
I combine a strong linguistic knowledge with modern and innovative teaching methods, based on immersion, contextual learning, and everyday life situations. I place particular importance on the active participation of learners, both orally and in writing.
I primarily use the immersion method: lessons are conducted in the target language, allowing for natural and effective progress. Of course, you can use your native language to ask questions if needed.
These scientifically recognized approaches promote both rapid and lasting learning. My courses are structured, interactive, and fully tailored to the specific needs of each learner, guaranteeing concrete results.

Each course is custom-designed to meet your specific needs and goals. My sessions are dynamic, structured, and engaging, guaranteeing rapid and significant progress.
With a great capacity for adaptation, I establish a relationship of trust with my learners.
My patience, empathy, and professionalism will encourage you to surpass yourself

I trained as a translator and interpreter at the Mons School of International Interpreters. This training is based on learning spoken language first... no unnecessary and tedious grammar... but phonetics, the MUSIC of language... the essential tool! People call me a magician...
Speaking a language is like singing to music, with its own unique phonetics! English is a prime example...
Learning while having fun with an effective teacher who puts you at ease. Perform, progress, quickly and well without any "pain," and gain confidence. I've helped "save" some hopeless cases... for me, it's a challenge I take on with enthusiasm every time!

This course is designed for secondary and primary school students, as well as university students wishing to strengthen their understanding of mathematics, economics, and science. Currently a Master's student in Management Engineering (Finance & Risk), I possess a strong analytical foundation and extensive experience in explaining complex concepts clearly and in a structured manner.

Each lesson is fully tailored to the student's level and objectives: reviewing material, preparing for exams, helping with homework, or delving deeper into key concepts. My goal is not only to help the student succeed, but above all to help them understand the logic behind the subject matter so they can gain independence and confidence.

Deze lessen richten zich op leerlingen uit het lager en secundair onderwijs, evenals op studentsen die hun zicht wiskunde, economie en wetenschappen willen versterken. Ik now a masterstudent handelsengineer (finance & risk) in beschik over a sterke analytical basis in ruime ervaring in het helder in gestructureerd uitleggen van complex concepts.

Elke les wordt volledig afgestemd op het level en de doelstellingen van de leerling: herhaling van de leerstof, examination voorbereiding, huiswerkbegeleiding de verdieping van kernbegrippen. Mijn doel est niet alleen om betere resultaten te behalen, maar vooral om de onderliggende logica van de leerstof laten begrijpen, zodat de leerling zelfstandiger en zelfverzekerder wordt.
