Private lessons in Languages

From 17 £ /h

As a first-year student of psychology and education at ULB, I have been giving private lessons since high school to children of all ages and all levels, from primary to high school. I am used to children and I have learned to be patient with the difficulties, which are always surmountable with a little help. I try to model my way of explaining and approaching the problems as closely as possible to the thought pattern of the child I have before me. My goal is for him to progress and gain confidence in his skills and abilities.

About Me

I introduce myself; My name is Elena, I am 20 years old and I am a student at the ULB in psychology. I have been working with children since I was 14-15 as a babysitter or private teacher of languages, sciences, piano and singing. I also work as a facilitator in a daycare center. I do not know what to say except that I usually have a very good relationship with children and I commit myself to do my best to help them overcome their difficulties. Hope to see you!

Private lessons in science

17 £ /h

First-year student of psychology at the ULB, I give private lessons in basic sciences from primary to secondary school. My goal is for my students to come out of the class feeling as if they have progressed, so I'm adapting to their thinking and pace as much as possible.

Private lessons of Piano and Solfeggio

22 £ /h

Student of 20, I have always been immersed in the world of music. I did 8 years of classical piano at the academy of Saint-Gilles and since my 15 years I give classes to children wanting to progress outside the academy or just want to have a first approach to the piano. Not having done the conservatory, I give lessons to people being in piano formation, the first 5 academic years. I am used to working with children, so I can give piano lessons to children from 5 years (under 5 years, except particularly motivated child, I do not think that particular lessons of instrument welcome, a collective course of musical initiation seems to me more interesting)
I can also offer my help for music theory classes. I am a graduate of the Academy of Saint Gilles and I know how some children see this beautiful discipline as a torture.
Thank you and hope to see you!

The TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) is a language test developed by the Educational Testing Service (Princeton, USA). It measures/demonstrates the language skills that everyone in today's multinational work environment needs to communicate successfully in a foreign language.

The TOEIC test is one of the most widely used English-language tests in the world, with more than 14,000 organizations and universities in more than 160 countries relying on TOEIC scores to make important decisions.

The TOEIC is used to help organisations to:

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.

Hola,
¿cómo estás?☺️
My name is Joana. I am a native Spanish teacher, with a degree in Spanish Literature and Language and a Master's degree in Spanish as a foreign language (UNED Faculty).
■ Since 2009 I have been working at the Cervantes Institute as an OFFICIAL EXAMINER of DELE diplomas (Diploma in Spanish as a Foreign Language)
(I am fluent in French, so during the course I give all the necessary explanations in French on grammatical rules or vocabulary.
Having extensive teaching experience, I prepare students/adults for all levels of the DELE Spanish Diplomas and for all official Spanish exams within Universities.
● Spanish courses for adults who intend to travel or live in a Spanish-speaking country.
● Specialized fun Spanish courses for children (6-13 years old), audiovisual material, interactive games on the internet, choice of textbooks taking into account their age. Children learn the language through experiences and experiences while having fun.
● Help with school homework/exams for French students (all levels, + preparation for BTS, CNED)
● Spanish courses for adults who use Spanish in a professional context (Business Spanish: tourism/restaurants, law, etc.)
● Spanish pronunciation/phonetics/conversation courses (exercises provided by the Cervantes Institute). During my Master's degree, I specialized in Spanish phonetics for foreigners. Students can achieve a very good level of oral production even if they are beginners* :)
● Written production, grammar, oral and written comprehension.
● Spanish civilization course.
I live in Spain, so I give all my classes on Skype.
Skype classes are very flexible and as effective as face-to-face classes! (100% success rate for all Cervantes Institute DELE diplomas and all university exams!)
■ COMPLETE learning materials provided to all my students according to their personal level/age/interests (DELE preparation manual, grammar book, pronunciation guide, notes, mp3 audios)

I will be happy to read from you.

A greeting,
Johanne :) 👩🏻‍🏫🇪🇸

I offer an interactive method, tailored to your needs. We will progress according to your level. Do you want to improve your speaking skills? I offer role-playing exercises.
Do you want to feel more confident in your conversations at work or at the café? We'll simulate conversations in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.

Let's learn French together! I'm here to help you understand this challenging language, explain it to you, and converse with you about whatever topics you're interested in. I adapt to your pace and needs: I speak slowly and clearly so you can understand me, but I can also speak normally to help you practice understanding all French speakers.
I can give you grammar lessons (conjugation, spelling...), vocabulary lists, and audio or video resources.
I can also help you obtain the DELF, as I have already assisted several people in this process.
Finally, I speak English, Italian and Korean fluently, and I have a B1 level in Spanish, Japanese and Chinese, so I can also give you lessons in these languages.

I’ve been teaching English since 2021, working with both school students and adults through private lessons and language schools. I studied English-French Translation and Interpreting at Bilkent University, and I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree at Vrije Universiteit Brussel. I also achieved an overall band score of 9 in IELTS Academic.

I offer lessons for students who need extra support with English at school, want to become more confident speaking, or are preparing for exams such as IELTS. Depending on your needs, we can work on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, reading, writing or everyday conversation.

I don’t follow the same lesson plan with every student. I usually begin by understanding what you’re already comfortable with and where you’re struggling. From there, we work at your pace, with explanations, exercises and plenty of opportunities to practise.

For younger students, I can help with homework, school exams and building a stronger foundation in English. For teenagers and adults, lessons can also focus on conversation, academic English, exam preparation or improving communication for work and everyday life.

My aim is to make English easier to understand and, more importantly, easier to actually use.
