As the official Faculty Proofreader for the Institute of Philosophy at the KU Leuven, I have developed a deep understanding of the common struggles both professors and the wider student body face with respect to academic writing. Whether it be formal and linguistic errors or stylistic, structural, and argumentative issues, I gathered practical tools students can systematically employ to improve their academic writing—skills which coincide with the demands of a tutoring job. I’ve designed this course as the ultimate guide to academic writing, but that’s not it. Given my experience in debate clubs in Leuven, Brussels, and Munich, as well as in hosting highly successful discussion groups with students of all stripes, I can also teach you how to deliver fantastic presentations and get your point across in the most articulate manner. As a polyglot, I can give you examples in Arabic, Farsi, Urdu/Hindi, Punjabi, and German, so if you speak any of these languages, I’ll make sure you have an easier time learning English with me. With this course, I can teach a beginner how to speak English fluently but also creatively, I can teach an intermediate speaker how to take their language skills to the next level, and I can help an advanced English speaker sharpen their presentation skills and academic writing.

My classes are completely tailored to your needs. I identify the gaps you have with English in the first lesson and after that work with you to boost your speaking, listening, reading, and writing abilities. I offer a teaching experience that will increase your confidence with and understanding of the English language, and focus on pronunciation, grammar, understanding difficult accents, texts and newspaper articles, writing emails, and many other areas. Classes are either 60 minutes or 2 hours, but if preferred, we can arrange custom-length classes.

I believe that language is a powerful tool today. Not only does it help us understand the world from a different perspective, but it also teaches us the culture of the people who use it. I have had the opportunity to work with teenagers for 5 years now as a student associate in a science center, as a mentor and a lecturer in a different field. What I have learned from that experience is that first and foremost one must become a friend with their student, to understand their needs and their attitudes. I will do my best to make the classes fun by combining audio and visual material in my teaching. My field of study is Social and Cultural Anthropology.

English at all levels: - Speaking - Writing - Grammar - Listening In the first session, I will assess your level of English and also get an understanding of your interests and hobbies. I will then base the classes on things that you enjoy and find interesting. I found this an effective method when I took private Dutch classes

¡HOLA! I ́m a Native Spanish Speaker with six years of teaching experience. How about learning Spanish at the same time you learn about the culture and facts from Spanish-speaking cultures? Let ́s get you ready for your next trip to Mexico, Spain, Cuba, Costa Rica, Uruguay.... How do we do that? My goal is to keep students motivated and to lose the fear of speaking a second language, this, by interacting with the students in a way that would help him or her deal with every day situations. Learing about other cultures while learning the language is super fun and also will give you nice idioms, language tricks and fun facts you could share at your next dinner party! My classes are dynamic, interactive and playful but at the same time we work hard with the speaking and grammar! I assign homework to my students, but don ́t worry, I won ́t get angry if you don ́t do your assignments! I test my students every month to see how they are progressing and review the concepts that are not quite there yet. ¡Vamos!

Greetings! I am currently pursuing a Masters course at KU Leuven and would like to extend my services as an English tutor. BUT FIRST! A little about myself. I'm an native English-speaking Chinese Malaysian with four years of international school teaching experience engaging with students between ages 10 and 18. The methods I employ have less to do with sitting down and constantly repeating grammar exercises, and more to do with creative writing games that allow students to embrace and understand mistakes, rather than fear them; I live and love to make things fun! Classes will consist mainly of activities; debates, short discussions, writing games as well as standard language exercises (depending on what you need/want).

This course is fitted individually, depending on the needs of the student. If the student would like to focus on grammar then the material should be sent beforehand so I can have a chance to look at it and prepare for any questions that may arise. If the student would like to focus on spelling and/or spoken English then no material should be sent beforehand, just an overview of the request. If the student would like to focus on reading I'll supply the materials depending on their level. As for math, I only teach high school students and first year University students. The material for the class should be sent to me beforehand so I can be better prepared to answer any questions.
