Learning the English language and Anglophone cultures

From 27 € /h

You will learn English proper, but also the lexical variations used in different English-speaking countries. You will discover the historical and socio-cultural influences on the language depending on the country of use. Whatever your level, these courses will be tailored to your specific needs, enabling you to practice English in a structured, comprehensive, fluent, and meaningful way. I use a differentiated approach with active and reflective teaching methods so that you are an active participant in your learning and find it enjoyable.

Extra information

Bring your own learning materials according to your level. For example: notebook, pencil case, required textbooks from school or work, etc. You will have the opportunity to create learning materials as part of the course if you wish.

About Me

I am Belgian-American, born in the United States. I have worked in Belgium since 1995. For 15 years, I provided in-home tutoring for secondary and higher education students, as well as for workplace tutoring. Since 2011, I have taught English immersion, initially in primary school (grades 1-6), and later in preschool and first grade. This year, I have decided to reduce my working hours at my current school. Now working part-time, I would like to dedicate my time to helping children, teenagers, and adults learn English in a structured way, while fostering motivation and a love of learning.
