From 54 € /h

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 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.

Having taken the SAT myself almost 7 years ago, I am well aware of the traps college board uses to trick inexperienced test takers.

Instruction for the mathematics section includes problem-solving and key concepts related to geometry, algebra and number operations.

I have extensive experience teaching Thai to foreigners, including the partners of Thai nationals and children from mixed Thai families. I have taught students of all ages, from young children aged 5 and above to adult learners, in Belgium.

In addition, I owned and managed a language school in Thailand with approximately 50 students and a team of four teachers. The school offered four different subjects, and I was responsible for overseeing daily operations, curriculum development, and staff management.

I also worked as a full-time English teacher at an underprivileged school, where I planned and delivered engaging lessons while supporting students from diverse educational and social backgrounds.

My combined experience in teaching, school management, and cross-cultural communication has enabled me to develop strong organizational, leadership, and interpersonal skills.

Do you want to learn Chinese, whether for your child, your studies, your work, a trip, or simply out of curiosity? I offer Mandarin courses adapted for children, teenagers, and adults, from beginner to intermediate level!

Currently in my final year of a Master's degree in Chinese studies, I speak four languages (French, Dutch, English and Chinese) and I had the opportunity to live and study for a year in Beijing, at the 外交学院 (China Foreign Affairs University).

My career has also been marked by several participations in the Chinese Bridge Competition, a major international Chinese language competition. I twice achieved second place in the Belgian final and then participated in the storytelling event (故事会), where I reached the Top 50 worldwide.

My method is based on a structured progression inspired in particular by the HSK, while being adapted to the objectives and pace of each student. We can work on pronunciation and tones, vocabulary, grammar, characters, listening comprehension as well as oral and written expression.

For children and teenagers, I use an interactive approach with games, stories, pictures, dialogues, and age-appropriate activities. For adults, I can tailor the lessons more to conversation, practical Chinese, everyday situations, travel, studies, or a professional context.

I also wish to share my passion for Chinese culture, which I had the opportunity to explore in depth during my year in Beijing. Since language and culture are closely linked, the courses can also incorporate elements of traditions, festivals, history, and daily life in China.

Each lesson is therefore personalized according to the student's level, age and objectives.

Whether you are a complete beginner or wish to consolidate an intermediate level, my goal is to enable you to progress in Chinese in a serious, structured and motivating way.
