Hello there! My name is Romain, I'm 23. I come from Belgium and my native language is French. I also speak English, Dutch and Spanish.
I've been passionate about languages since 14 years old. I study English&Dutch literature and linguistics, as well as translation (master degree). Beside university, I also play the violin.
I have many hobbies and a high interest for everything that surrounds me. Here are a couple of these hobbies: Language learning, Violin/Opera, Journaling, ASMR, gaming, walking, composing watching animes...Me as a Teacher
I generally adapt well to different types of students. I'd love to help you find the tools and resources that suit you best. I enjoy giving small challenges to help you build up your confidence.
If you ever feel lost or demotivated, I can help you set up a learning programme that aligns with your expectations.
My teaching experience:
I have worked as a secundary school teacher and both the institution and the pupils (12-17yo) have expressed their enthusiasm about my lessons. I have also given private classes in French, English and Dutch. My lessons & teaching style

Teaching experience
2024 - 2025
English and Dutch teacherI was contacted by a school because they were interested by my profile, even as a student. I therefore accepted to become a fulltime teacher for 3 weeks until a certified teacher would be able to come back. It eventually ended up being a wonderful experience to me, the institution, as well as the students. I later got a job offer from this school, asking me if I would accept working as an official teacher. Seeing my students enjoy learning was beautiful.

Road emergencies operatorI was working as a Bilingual student (NDL/FR) operator. I would take care of insurance clients from Benelux when they'd have emergencies all across Europe. This required being bilingual in Dutch and French, but also necessitated more in order to communicate with foreign agencies (mostly English. This job required a lot of management, communication and organisation between insurances, institutions, foreign policies, client's rights...

He is always so friendly and encouraging! I really enjoy having classes with him. He can explain the words or the phrases clearly. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Every lesson with Romain is so enjoyable because he is so friendly and easy to talk to. It is also a wonderful experience to listen to his French (so melodic and clearly pronounced) and he also speaks English fluently and naturally. I am learning so much about translation from Romain and am also beginning to understand more of the subtleties of the French language, which he generously shares with me and patiently explains. Thank you, Romain, for guiding me through the art, science, and mystery of translation!

Nós infelizmente não tivemos essa aula. Eu estou trabalhando mais do que eu deveria (também como professora na plataforma e em outros projetos). O Romain concordou em ser um dos meus professores para meu projeto 37 aulas de francês em 37 semanas para celebrar meus 37 anos! Tõ animada pra falar com ele em breve!
