About Me

Dear all,
I've been teaching for 28 years now ( I really don't look that old though :). Teaching is my passion. I love it and couldn't imagine doing anything else. I am currently a teacher and coordinator at an amazing International school in Brussels. I have a knack for teaching little children to read and write (phonetically). I am a spontaneous, imaginative, fun teacher. I work using common sense and a feel for the class/student. I give small group lessons, 3-4 children. This makes lessons more fun and adds a healthy sense of competition which in turn increases progress. I teach at my place, close to Square Ambiorix and Schuman.

Education

Primary, secondary at a Catholic school in Kuala Lumpur.

A levels (English Law, Literature, Economics), LMC (London Montessori Degree), Piano Graduate (Royal English board of music)

Experience / Qualifications

I used to be a Montessori teacher for 10 yrs (LMC degree). The only time I wasn't a teacher was when I was head hunted in Asia, to work in the Research and Development Department of a Kindergarten Franchise that had just opened. Created their school books, produced, sang and recorded their educational songs.

I was also their teacher trainer. Trained their over 200 teachers. They had around 20 kindergartens all over South East Asia. Loved that job too! It had me travelling to many lovely destinations - Singapore, Thailand, Phillipines, Malaysia, to train!).
But marriage brought me here to Belgium where I got back into my first love, teaching.
I've completed my Grade 8 Piano, Theory and Practical and give piano lessons to children.

My name is Serdane and I offer English lessons to high school students and adults who find it difficult to develop a way of working that suits them. Extroverted and bubbly... and above all, full of humor!

I believe that language learning is based above all on the development of an appropriate learning method. Some learn languages intuitively by engaging in conversations. Others, on the contrary, need rigorous exposure to grammatical concepts before launching into conversations. There are as many ways to learn as there are students... That's why I adapt my lessons to everyone's needs, and above all, I try to help each student discover what works for him, so that he can continue to progress independently.

My areas of expertise:
- Enhancement
- catching up
- Grammar reviews
- Conversation course
- Work method (organization, schedule of revisions, etc.)

My price includes complete academic support (private lessons, the possibility of asking questions outside of class hours, writing and correcting questions, etc.).

I produce all of my course materials for each student. So there is no need for you to buy a learning book. However, if you are already working from a book, it is entirely possible for me to adapt to it.

Nice to meet you! :-)

I can teach you to speak Portuguese, English and Spanish.
My native language is Portuguese and I am practically native in English so you can expect us to work together and to highly develop both languages. We can meet for a first class to discuss your goals and set up our rhythm of work according to that. In case you want to learn to speak Spanish we will work in a way you can express yourself clearly and understand others. Thank you :)

I've been teaching English to small children up to teenagers at École Française Internationale. I give lessons for beginners and intermediate levels. I mix between French and English so the pupil doesn't get too confused, but also allows them to understand every detail.

For beginners, we usually talk about our surroundings, what's close to us and what affects us on a daily basis. (Numbers, directions, the weather, asking simple questions, what's a noun and pronoun and where to put them in a sentence). I like to find playful activities so that the pupil/student is in control of their work.
Of course, this is an example for a certain age group, but it also varies depending on their knowledge and their age.

For intermediates, we make basic conversation. Ex: How do you go to school; What do you do in your free time? ; What's the weather like?

--------------------------------

The start of the course with a new learner consists of detecting their level by talking about their background, what they already know, what they must master in order to no longer have any gaps. The first lesson also allows the learner to get comfortable and get to know me to establish mutual trust. That’s why I use a touch of my British humor to achieve this. (I generally do this at the start of the lesson with my students to establish a good mood and they are always delighted!) To help the learner better engage with the learning, I will ask them what their passions/hobbies are, this who interests him to arouse interest in learning. I will adapt my lessons on subjects that speak to him more.

Whatever the reason for the course, whether it is to improve oral, written, reading or listening comprehension, I organize audio sessions, readings, everything necessary to deepen in the language.

Hey you! Do you want to learn English or improve it? You are in the right place!
English is one of the most common and useful languages in the world, whether for work, travelling, watching series in original version, understanding your favorite American or English star...

What? An English course for both beginners and advanced, both for children and adults... we discover the basics of the language, grammar and useful vocabulary in a fun way, or we deepen these knowledge, with some revisions if necessary. Obviously, we will tackle all skills: reading, writing, speaking and hearing.

Who? I'm Julie, a fan of languages, I've already mastered almost four, and I always want to discover new ones. English has (almost) no more secrets for me. I'm also a photographer and a photography teacher on the side, so I have a background in building lessons with lots of practice.

How? For one to two hours (two hours recommended to progress more efficiently), I always prepare my lessons specially and in an up-to-date way, using recent articles, relevant and useful vocabulary on a daily basis. Classes are currently only taking place online, as I am not in Belgium.

When? Well, whenever you want! As soon as possible, to improve your English tomorrow!

So what are you waiting for?

I am comfortable giving you language lessons, either focusing on grammar, conversation, or reading and comprehension exercises. I have a degree from Cambridge University, so you will learn classical English and not dialectic.
In the first lesson we will discuss the book that we will use, which depends on your requirements and your level.

I support anyone wishing to learn or improve their English, intended for both children and adults.
Being bilingual French-English by birth, I easily juggle between the two languages.
I adapt to your needs: whether it is to work on grammar, learn vocabulary or practice speaking, I develop my courses according to your request.

My method consists of transforming the course into a fun activity, in order to make it a pleasant moment rather than a burden for the student. By changing the learner's state of mind, he is more receptive, more focused, he retains more easily and this motivates him to persevere in learning.

Hello! My name is Arina. I am a native Romanian and I have lived in UK for 5 years, both for studies and for work. I currently live in Belgium, but my main language at work and in my personal life is English.

This class is meant to help you speak English or Romanian at a conversational level. Whether you want to learn some basics or you want to improve your knowledge, you can contact me and we can find the best approach together. Since we all learn differently, I am open to find a more personalised way of helping you achieve your goals.

Bună! Numele meu este Arina. Sunt original din România și am locuit în Anglia timp de 5 ani, atât pentru studii, cât și pentru muncă. În prezent, locuiesc în Belgia, dar vorbesc în special engleză la locul de muncă și în viața personală.

Acest curs este menit să te ajute să vorbești engleza sau româna la nivel conversațional. Indiferent dacă vrei să înveți câteva noțiuni de bază sau vrei să-ți îmbunătățești cunoștințele, mă poți contacta și putem găsi împreună cea mai bună abordare. Fiecare dintre noi învățăm diferit, așa că sunt dispusă să găsesc o modalitate personalizată de a te ajuta să-ți atingi obiectivele.
