French-speaking English teacher.
Hello everybody, If you want to learn English so you can speak it fluently, you've come to the right place. My name is Tarik. I'm as fluent in English as I am in my native French. My family lives in England, and I'm currently in my second year of a university degree in foreign languages. The English you will learn with me is British (English spoken in Great Britain). This is the English you learn at school. My learning guideline is simple: Practice, practice, and practice. As they say "Practice makes perfect". I teach online and in person, but only in Brussels. No matter your level, contact me and become an English ace!

Hi, I’m Maram! I teach Arabic to students of all ages and levels in Brussels. With 9 years of experience, I’ve worked with children, adults, and university students from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in both Classic Arabic and Levantine Arabic. Whether you already speak Classic Arabic or don’t speak Arabic at all, you can start learning Levantine Arabic with me! I’ve learned tricks that help you learn faster, and I love sharing them with my students. I speak more than five languages, so I know what it takes to master a new one! My approach is very interactive and based on what works best for you. I use games, songs, and discussions to make learning feel natural, and I’ll always focus on your personal goals—whether it’s speaking fluently, passing an exam, or mastering the language for a special job. So, if you’re ready to start, we’ll talk about how you learn best, and we’ll create a plan together that works for you. And remember, learning Arabic isn’t just about words—it’s about culture, history, and politics. With me, you’ll get the full package!

English: pronunciation (British or American). No grammar lessons. Adults only.
I have facilitated workshops and given classes throughout my career all over the world. English pronunciation is essential these days because English is spoken everywhere and all the time. I followed specialized training such as the verb tonal method, Feldenkrais or mental coaching. We are therefore going to work in a slightly different way by combining articulatory techniques, movement, rhythm, intonation, warming up of the jaw and tongue, stretching of the neck, neck and shoulders to arrive to very fast results.
