I have experience tutoring professionals working in EU institutions, graduate and post-graduate students, and children. I work with composition and editing and I have helped many students improve both their confidence and their scores on tests and papers. I have previously provided individual English lessons suited to the needs of various adult and elementary-ages students of many international backgrounds and in 2016 I worked as a literacy teacher for primary school children, helping them learn to read, write, and think critically.

    Sebastian
    Swedish course for adults, students or kids! (All skill levels)
    Hej och välkommen! Jag heter Sebastian och jag är 31 år gammal. I currently work as a Swedish teacher at the Volksuniversiteit The Hague and I love every minute I can spend with my students. A Volksuniversiteit (litt. folk university) is an institute for non-formal adult education in the Netherlands. I am a Swedish native speaker and general language enthusiast. Besides Swedish I speak English, German, Spanish, French and Italian. Having learned multiple languages myself I am sure that I can successfully teach you Swedish in a fun and relaxed manner. My teaching focus lies on speaking the language as much as possible. Immersion is key to language learning. Think of small children. They are language geniuses. Why? Because they speak as soon as their brains permit them to speak, without worrying about making mistakes. Therefore, it is paramount to start using the newly learned words immediately in order to prime our brains to get comfortable with the new language. Do you already have Swedish knowledge? No problem! Instead of building the basics we can design classes that meet your personal needs and preferences. My classes combine speaking, listening & grammar exercises in interaction with me. Furthermore, I show you Swedish food, music and places. On top of that, I introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level! I am extremely confident that you very soon will have the same success that I have had in learning languages! My past and current students would testify to that. I look forward to hearing from you! Jag ser fram emot att höra ifrån dig! Greetings, Hälsningar, Sebastian

    Aulas de Inglês (ONLINE) - English lessons (ONLINE)
    PT - Oi, sou Lucie e será um prazer te ajudar a aprender inglês, que seje do zêro or para melhorar o seu conhecimento. Eu amo botar os meus estudantes pra falar porque eu acho que a prática é o segredo para aprender um idioma e melhorar o seu conhecimento. Eu semper dou aulas inspiradas em temas do cotidiano (como se apresentar, como marcar uma consulta, fazer compras, ir no medico, inglês profissional, etc.). Veremos a grámatica, vocabulário, ea pronunciação juntos. Se você é intermediário, faremos aulas com leituras, artigos para você pratar e aprender mais. E posso dar aula em português, você quiser. EN - Hi, I'm Lucie and I would be glad to help you learn English, be it from scratch or to help you improve. I love to make my students speak since I strongly believe that practice is the key to learn a language and to improve your knowledge. I always structure my lessons according to subjects based on daily life situations (how to introduce yourself, how to make an appointment, shopping / grocery, going to the doctors, professional language, etc). We'll go through the grammar, vocab, and pronunciation. If you're intermediate, we'll also do some lessons about reading comprehensions. We'll put both the grammar and vocab in practice. And hey, I can teach in Portuguese if you want!

    I am a native English speaker from USA and I specialize in teaching, exam preparation, instruction and text correction for several students and professionals residing in Belgium. With experience in 4 different cities across Europe and Asia, I take a multidimensional approach to my classes, tutoring and assisting with both Academic and Business English, to ensure that all my students are at ease during the lessons which results in faster improvements and undeniable results. The lessons cover various topics, mainly focusing on comprehension, reading techniques, writing skills, grammar, vocabulary, and day to day conversation along with accent training and basic language skills. My former clients include students from middle school, high school and college as well as professionals from various occupations. I have worked with them to improve their spoken and written English. I also tutor clients who want to improve their English at an academic level for exams such as the SAT, IELTs, EPSO and TOEFL. These include high school students, college students as well as professionals, ranging from engineers to young interns at the EU parliament. I assist with exam based preparation to achieve the desired results and my clients have not been disappointed so far. I have further proofread, edited, written and improved a large amount of essays, college applications, theses, personal statements, and assignments for various clients at an academic level. I like to make my lessons interesting, but at the same time, I make sure that they are as productive as possible. With a thorough understanding and experience of English grammar and literature, I further take care of ghost writing, proof reading and editing of academic and professional papers. Weekly and monthly rates are possible in this case. I have no issues meeting anywhere in Brussels, or at a location or town close to the city.

    ENGLISH LESSONS ENGLISH TEACHER FROM THE UK, qualified teacher from England
    I am a qualified English teacher from England. I obtained my bachelor's degree in linguistics at Lancaster University (UK) and will soon have my master's degree. I have been teaching English for over 3 years to students who wish to improve their English language skills or become bilingual. All my students are satisfied with my course and those who had entrance exams have passed successfully. There is nothing like having English lessons with a qualified English speaker ;-) I have done all my studies in English and in the United Kingdom, I consider English as being my first language among all the other ones I have learned. Being a "native" speaker for me is meaningless, the qualifications are the most important as well as the experience (you could have a "native" speaker who makes a lot of mistakes because this person is not qualified in teaching). The price of the lessons is moderate compared to the effectiveness of my courses. I use a variety of methods and can easily adapt to the needs of the student. I offer courses at all levels (beginner, advanced to university level) as well as English courses for IELTS/TOEFL, A-LEVELS or correction of written works. I have worked with children as well as teenagers and adults. My 3 years of experience as a teacher in England have helped me to develop the qualities necessary to motivate my students and teach them effectively. I can deliver the lessons online anywhere in the world. Do not hesitate to contact me to book a lesson, places are quickly taken. If your desired time slot wouldn't be available, I would do my best to adapt myself to your schedule and I would refer you to some of my colleagues. ;-) See you soon!

    Nguyen
    General / Business English for all levels (all ages)
    As a teacher, I always aim to create a fun and comfortable classroom environment for my students, as I believe that people learn best when they are relaxed and having fun. My students (usually aged between 5 to 60 :)) have a lot of opportunities to practice what they've learned (whether it's a new idiom or grammar structure) in-class through casual conversations or role-play activities. If you enjoy hearing random trivia about life in different countries (Vietnam, the UK, Slovakia, Belgium), or engaging in deep conversations about world issues, while learning new words and grammar structures, sign up!

    English lessons - (children and adults), Math lessons - (children and teens).
    Sometimes learning a new language is considered hard. Math is considered even more. But these are two myths that do not exist anymore. Let me be your guide through these courses. In the end, your children will think that math is fun, and English a new window to know new people and new cultures. Moreover, I would like to help also adults who want to learn English or want to improve their communication skills. It is never too late for new things. You can trust me. I am too patient since I have studied electrical engineering and this has made me think and learn step by step, so in the end I would be able to understand and achieve my goal. Let's walk together in this process and achieve your goal.
