Hi-hallo-bonjour-hola! My name is Eve. I'm a professional teacher from Belgium!

I'm native Dutch but I'm also
full professional in English, French and Spanish. I also speak German. I am passionate about teaching. I worked as a teacher in Belgium, Spain and Singapore. I love traveling, especially to Asia. I have visited Japan, China, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia and Vietnam.

I love teaching because:

it is useful, I can help people improve and/or learn a language;
it is effective, I can already see good results after a few lessons;
it is interesting, I create new content for each lesson;
it is extensive, I adjust the content to my student's needs;
it is self-fulfilling, my students motivate me every day.

The methods I use with my students:

I instruct, in a way they best comprehend new information;
I use a hands on approach, to attain higher levels of achievement;
I ask open questions, to analyze and correct their speaking level;
I provide dialogues, so that they can talk during most of the class;
I use a lot of teaching materials, to achieve the learning goals;
I focus on meaningful content, that is relevant in daily/work life;
I share my own experiences, to create a supportive teacher-student relationship;
I ask for feedback, so that they can comment on what they expect.

I am passionate about teaching and I love Asia, so Cafetalk is the perfect place to teach and meet wonderful people! I look forward to meeting you!

9 reasons that make me a good teacher:

I am:
native in Dutch, French and English, full professional in German and Spanish. I am entertaining, motivating and patient.
I have: 
a university degree in Teaching (Dutch, French and English), experience teaching children/students/adults private classes (Dutch, English, French, German and Spanish), and experience teaching children/students/adults group classes (Dutch, French and English).
I can: 
distinguish your actual needs and adjust your level, provide you with the content we have seen and review your areas of improvement and goals

Here is a picture of me in Japan. I combined my vacation with interviews for my master thesis. I published a qualitative research on the cultural aspects taken into account in the content and design of books and websites. I obtained a summa cum laude at the University of Brussels.

Here I am teaching English to young children in Madrid, Spain. With the little ones I play games, sing songs and make the classes as interactive as possible.

After another class of English, these pupils from Madrid still wanted to play with me on the playground :)



To end my photo album, here is a picture where I am taking my Indonesian students on excursion to one of the museums in Jakarta.


Doubting which language you want to learn with me?

1) DUTCH
Dutch is similar to German, but because it has no cases and a less complicated grammatical system, many linguistic scholars consider Dutch to be the easiest language for English speakers. It is both structurally and syntactically familiar. In terms of pronunciation and vocabulary, it parallels English in many ways.
In addition to familiar Germanic root words, the Dutch language adopted many loan words from French. Though some vowel sounds may be new for English speakers, Dutch pronunciation follows the English model of syllable stress, so pronouncing Dutch words is somewhat intuitive.

2) FRENCH
Like any Romantic language, French poses some grammatical difficulties for the English speaker, including gendered nouns, many verb forms, and pronunciation; this last one being particularly difficult for its silent letters, variety of vowel sounds and foreign sounds to the English language.
Nevertheless, French is one of the easiest Latin-derived languages for English native speakers to learn because of the lexical influence French had upon English during the Norman occupation. Up to one-third of today’s English has been influenced by French, according to linguists. For language learners, English has more in common lexically with French than any other Romance language. This means that French vocabulary is more familiar, recognisable, and easy to comprehend. Advanced French learners may struggle with its gendered nouns and 17 verb forms, but for conversational learning, it’s relatively facile.

3) SPANISH
Apart from the difficult pronunciation of the rolling ‘r’ and the ‘ñ’, pronunciation is as straightforward as you can imagine: words are pronounced as they are written. Spanish only has ten vowel and diphthong sounds (English has 20), and no unfamiliar phonemes except for the letter ñ.
However, grammatically speaking, Spanish is definitely not the easiest language to learn. Regarding verb conjugation, gender, and grammatical irregularities, it is a rather difficult language. But Spanish has fewer irregularities than other Romance languages. It is also an attractive second language for English speakers because of its international status.

The easiest languages (Dutch, French, Spanish) require just 23-24 weeks of study, or 575-600 class hours, to achieve proficiency, and are the easiest because of their closeness to English.
