    Private English Language Classes with Native Tutor

    I am a professional CELTA certified English teacher from London in the United Kingdom. I have excellent communication skills and am enthusiastic and adaptable to my students' needs. I’ve been an English language teacher for the last two years, specialising in working with refugees throughout Europe, as well as being involved with art & journalism projects (I am also a freelance photographer and photojournalist), working with children with special needs and adults suffering from PTSD. I've taught English to French children in Paris, Syrian families in the UK, and in a language school in Spain focusing on coaching teenagers and adults for their FCE, PET and KET exams. I've just returned home from working as an English teacher in the Bekaa Valley, Lebanon and am currently focusing on private tutoring adults and children around Brussels.

    My lessons are varied and creative, and I have a relaxed, conversational approach. I use a number of different resources and aim to make each lesson relevant to my students' circumstances in terms of their interests, specialist language requirements and future aspirations. I am sensitive but practical and my compassionate nature drives me to be open with all my students - I love interaction on a personal level so that I learn from you as you gain more confidence in using the English language from me. I am a 'people person' by nature and my experience working with vulnerable and displaced people has shaped the way I teach. If there's something that you want to achieve, I want to help you get there!

    Classes for both adults and children, one-to-one and groups up to 6 students. Please get in touch for enquiries and lesson options including
    Conversation, Pronunciation, Grammar, Reading & Writing, Test Preparation, 'Learning through Play' & Interview Preparation.

    English - learn by doing (from perfecting the language to teaching the basics to upgrading)
    In the case of tutoring, I base my lessons on the subject seen by the student by explaining to him in another way with many examples and by making him practice as much as possible. In case of learning the basics, I have set up my own totally interactive method so that the student can practice and during which I speak almost only in English to be close to immersion during the lessons. Do not hesitate to contact me for: - learn the basics - prepare for a test - have support for your lessons - practice the language - ... Whatever your needs, I take a practical and fun approach to English because, in my opinion, it is the best way to learn.

    Emmanuel
    I know you speak it. I WILL FIX IT! West Coast (California) English. We walk, we talk, I correct! FUN! Learn by playing !
    Hello! If you can understand this message without having to translate then you are ready for my help! I am from California, and have been living here in Brussels since 2012. I am 39 years old. I speak West Coast (California) English. It's the English you hear in your favorite California movies. I love to help friends who already speak "european street English" while HAVING FUN! Did you know that 70% of learning a language is learned OUTSIDE of a classroom setting? So I propose we go to the park, we cook together, we go on a bike ride, we draw, we play. And of course we will talk a lot. When I hear an error I will correct you in a fun way, writing things for you, with FUN AND REAL examples, with drawings, ALWAYS STAYING 100% in English. That's correct, I will only speak English to you, because as you and I both know, you already speak English, and you have understood everything (or maybe 70%) of everything I just wrote. What you want is to improve or perfect your spoken English (we can work on writing, too). Immersion and fun, West Coast Style. And my university degree? Yes, I have two of them, in Languages and Literatures, and I speak 4 fully fluent languages, but for now I want you to learn by HAVING FUN! My friends can tell you how fun it is to learn with me. HOPE WE GET TO PLAY TOGETHER SOON! You can do it! Groups ok.
