Chloe
Experienced native English teacher available in the Brussels area to help with your English language needs.

I have certificates in TEFL from both Universitat de Barcelona and University College Cork and have taught English professionally in France, Spain and Italy. I have extensive experience with a variety of age groups, from as young as 3 years old right into adulthood. For two years I taught in an Official Language School in Palma de Mallorca, Spain where I gave classes to students aged 16+ and where I specialised in conversational and project based methodologies. I also delivered classes with a language academy in Padova, Italy where I specialised in adolescent instruction using project based methodologies.

I have been working with the European Parliament for the past year where I have specialised in Regional Development and Women's Rights policy issues. I also possess honours Bachelors Degrees in both European Studies and Hispanic Studies awarded by University College Cork, making me ideal if you're seeking to improve your English for academic or professional reasons.

I have extensive experience with delivering classes to children - I try my best to engage with play and creative methods as far as possible. I've kept strong bonds with the majority of my former 'young' students and it's been such a pleasure to see some of them grow into adolescence with almost fluent English.

I speak French to B2 level and Spanish to C1 level with basic Italian, Portuguese and Catalan, but try to deliver my classes with as much English as possible so as to facilitate target language goals.

Don't hesitate to contact for any further information!

What to expect?

Young children - More of a game/activity learning method but also involves learning a broad scheme of things. It is in a way, an introduction to the basics of the language.

Teenagers - Usually involve set goals to reach by a certain period (for school). The teaching method and intensity depends on the amount of catching up to do.
If no catch up is required a more friendly learning method can be applied depending on the learner's interests.

Adults - More of a discussion-based learning method, depending on the experience of the learner. And can be oriented more towards specific subjects or domains chosen by the learner. It can involve course work or tasks to be done.

Why me?

I was born in Scotland but I grew up mostly in the french-speaking part of Belgium so I would say that both English and French are my natal languages.

I have decent knowledge of the various English cultures, vocabulary, and grammar.
Having traveled for a year in North America and having lived in Australia, Ireland, and Britain.

My mother is an english teacher in a secondary school and has given private english lessons ever since we moved to Belgium when I was six years old . I have participated or helped in many classes when needed.

I have access to a ton of material and her personal knowledge if I or we are experiencing a problem that we can't seem to solve. Or an issue the learner is experiencing that is preventing him/her from advancing.

I am a very "auto-ditact" person who tries to maximize the resources I have and the ones I have access to. I am good at understanding and solving problems and I believe that I can apply this to teaching as well.

I am a very professional person that tries to stay as relaxed and calm as possible. I am also extremely patient and have a lot of dedication.
If there is a deadline and a goal to meet, I will try my very best to make things work.

Additional info

I also know the humiliation that we sometimes feel when speaking a foreign language. I try to be as impartial and non-judgemental as I can in order to make the person feel as relaxed as possible when communicating with them.
