I'm Walter, British, perfectly bilingual English/French, both of these being my native languages, with a good knowledge of other languages as well, like Dutch and German.
I studied French & Computer Science as part of a 4-year Thick-Sandwich Combined Honours Degree Course at Aston University in Birmingham, UK. I did my year-out (3rd year) at Electro-Calcul, S.A., an industrial applications software house in Lausanne, Switzerland, where I worked as a systems analyst. I equally taught IT courses at Lausanne University as a Computer Science university lecturer.
Next, I studied for an MBA at ICHEC, also known as the Brussels Management School, where I also did some teaching, whilst in Belgium.

Me as a Teacher
I've taught English and French most of my life, to children of all ages and also to adults, as a student giving private lessons, and then as an expat, in schools and universities, as well as being sent by language agencies to teach professional business English and French to managers and directors on site, in their own companies. Later, I taught English as an English university lecturer (CTS University, Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, Belgium).
At Radley College, Oxford, after doing Business Studies, and specialising in Theological Bible Studies, I taught the Bible. I am the very model of a Biblical Philologist: https://youtu.be/3x2SvqhfevE
I teach classics: Shakespeare, Milton, Chaucer & Dickens too!
My lessons & teaching style
For kids, I can teach the Bible, Computers, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, and Children's Stories, both in English and in French.
For adults, I can teach the Bible, Computers, Business, IELTS, RLS (Real-Life Situations), RPS (Role-Playing Simulations), and Jokes, both in English and in French.
I use the Holy Spirit method to teach Biblical English and French, by using a Bible in your native language, so you already have a complete translation of what you're going to study, which avoids having to look up words all the time in the dictionary! It's such a blessing! So, come and be blessed!
I enjoy teaching in a dynamic, flexible, and interactive way, using many internet resources!

Incredible teacher, very patient and quick to find topics that I enjoyed and we discussed those and helped fill in gaps that were missing with my French.

Волтер как всегда на высоте! На мой взгляд один из лучших преподавателей на Italki! Работаем с ним уже 2 или 3 года. Всегда даёт полные и понятные объяснения, корректирует ошибки и ко всему прочему очень разносторонне развитый человек, с которым интересно поговорить на любые темы и никогда не бывает скучно! Все очень позитивно! Thanks a lot Walter! 😁
