English as a Foreign Language for Children or Adults

Van 19 € /h

As someone with degrees in both philosophy and psychology my background allows me to draw on principles from the science of learning to help students make meaningful progress without wasted effort. In my past experience as a tutor and special educator, I have learned to create lessons that are efficient, focused, and tailored to each learner’s goals.

I study other languages myself, so I understand firsthand the challenges that come with language learning. I use that experience to offer practical strategies that help students overcome common obstacles and stay motivated. Whether you're looking to build confidence in conversation, break out of a vocabulary-learning rut, improve your writing, or sharpen your understanding of grammar, I can help guide your progress with clarity and purpose. (Bonus: It so happens that I am originally from New York City, so if you're looking to learn with someone who has a clear and recognizably American accent, you’re in the right place).

This course is fitted individually, depending on the needs of the student.

If the student would like to focus on grammar then the material should be sent beforehand so I can have a chance to look at it and prepare for any questions that may arise.

If the student would like to focus on spelling and/or spoken English then no material should be sent beforehand, just an overview of the request.

If the student would like to focus on reading I'll supply the materials depending on their level.

As for math, I only teach high school students and first year University students. The material for the class should be sent to me beforehand so I can be better prepared to answer any questions.

In a personal learning route you walk on your own level and at your own pace through vocabulary, grammar and especially talking.
No school stuff, but a lot of variety to stimulate your GOESTING for the language and give a boost to your self-confidence.
YES, YOU CAN!
I am a certified language teacher (NL-ENG) with many years of experience in schools, adult education and companies, and consider me a 'language desire architect'.
Together we open doors in a creative way, we bring the world a piece of 'on your doorstep'.
And, who knows, in the near future you will have a (linguistic) lump richer!

I currently work as a private language teacher in Belgium and I have a good level of English. As I am not a native speaker, I do not give advanced lessons. People from any age, including kids, can follow my English lessons for levels A1, A2 and B1.

As you acquire a new skill or enhance the proficiency of a new language skill, you will be guided in grammar, vocabulary, conversations, dictions and oral articulations to aide you in communicating better with other English speakers worldwide...conversational dates, outdoor excursions & day-day routine exercise can be requested.
Test preparations are inclusive! IELTS, TOEFL, General or Academic!

English at all levels:

- Speaking
- Writing
- Grammar
- Listening

In the first session, I will assess your level of English and also get an understanding of your interests and hobbies. I will then base the classes on things that you enjoy and find interesting. I found this an effective method when I took private Dutch classes

I believe that language is a powerful tool today. Not only does it help us understand the world from a different perspective, but it also teaches us the culture of the people who use it. I have had the opportunity to work with teenagers for 5 years now as a student associate in a science center, as a mentor and a lecturer in a different field. What I have learned from that experience is that first and foremost one must become a friend with their student, to understand their needs and their attitudes. I will do my best to make the classes fun by combining audio and visual material in my teaching. My field of study is Social and Cultural Anthropology.

Hi everyone,

I am a Belgian student, currently, I'm in my first master's year at the KULeuven. I chose a master's in 'Rehabilitation sciences and physiotherapy specialization musculoskeletal disorders'. During my bachelor years, I developed a very good basic knowledge of science subjects and mathematics: I studied statistics for 3 years, molecular cell biology, chemistry, physics, biomechanics, biochemistry and anatomy.
The quality of teaching of both the University of Leuven as the high school I went to (Heilig Hartcollege Tervuren) is something I am very happy/thankful for. I would love to share the education and the knowledge I acquired by supporting and teaching you or your child/teen. I would consider it as a sort of study pathway counseling. As I already have a bachelor's degree in one of the highest-ranked universities in Europe, I have a broad knowledge of quite some subjects.

I have a lot of experience working with children and teenagers, I have been a leader in a Scout for children aged 12 to 18. I have also been a tutor for 5 years now. I love working with other people as I am a very social, empathic, and motivated person.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have more questions about the topics and fields of study that I can cover, or if you have a special inquiry

I currently live in Belgium. Lessons can be taught in English or Dutch.
I hope to meet you soon and start working on enhancing those performances!

Kind regards,
Natalia

Do you want to improve your English? Need to prepare for an upcoming IELTS or TOEFL test?
I can help you!
My name is Michiel. I was an English teacher in Vietnam for nearly 5 years.
I have a lot of experience working both with kids and adults. I have helped many students get better at English
and improve their grade for an IELTS or TOEFL test.

As a teacher, I try not to talk too much myself. I want to give my students the materials and tools they need to discover the language and the rules themselves.
I want to give my students the opportunity to speak as much as possible during our classes.

After a first lesson, where we'll find out your level and talk about what you want to improve, we will follow a personalized course plan that fits your needs.
Don't hesitate to contact me. See you soon!

This class can also be taught online through Skype or Zoom.

As a teacher, I try not to speak too much. I give my students the materials and tools they need to discover the language and the rules for themselves. I want to give my students the opportunity to speak as much as possible during class.
Thanks to my experience with many different levels and ages (from a 3-year-old beginner to a 55-year-old engineer), I know exactly how to choose the right activity for your needs and learning style.

After an initial lesson, in which we determine your level and discuss what you want to improve, we follow a personalized course plan that suits your needs.
Don't hesitate to contact me. Bye!

This lesson can also be given online via Skype or Zoom.

I obtained a BA degree in English Language and Literature, as well as an English MA degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology at KU Leuven. This academic background has laid the foundation for my theoretical knowledge of the English language, especially my reading and writing skills. Additionally, I spent a semester in Dublin in order to improve my 'hands-on' speaking skills. I have a genuine passion for the English language which I hope to pass on to my students.

For my classes, I sit down with students to discuss their needs, and attune my course content accordingly. I try to combine theory with practice to keep the classes interesting and lively. Listening and reading skills are especially important in the learning process as they are essential elements to developing an intuitive sense of a language. Furthermore, I attempt to incorporate audiovisual material in order to keep the course content engaging. I am also always happy to discuss and/or lend English books, graphic novels, podcasts, films, music, YouTube clips etc with/to my students.

This class is taught using the Oxford method and handbooks.

Experienced teacher and, since 2002, a certified translator in Law;

Master in Philosophy (KU Leuven), carrying out a philosophy translation project.

Classical literature for exemplifying

Tutoring tailored to the student's concerns. The difficulties are discussed in advance, so that I can provide targeted and tailored guidance to the student.
About myself: I am a 21 year old law student at KU Leuven who would like to earn some extra money by helping children.

Are you struggling with the dt-rule? Do you have no idea about sentence analysis? Are you having trouble writing a good sentence for your essay? Or would you like to learn to speak Dutch more fluently with friends, in the store or at work?

Together we will look at what your needs and requirements are. Then I will work out a program, tailored to you. That way we can get started efficiently, to achieve your goals!

Specific questions? Feel free to send me a message.

Hi, I'm Sofia, a 19-year-old university student. I grew up attending an international school where I used English daily in both academic and social settings. As a result, I speak English at a native level. Although I do not yet have formal tutoring experience, I'm motivated, patient and passionate about helping children/students improve their English skills. I'm flexible and happy to adapt to the student's needs - whether they want to focus on speaking, reading, listening, writing, or need help with homework. If a student prefers to practice speaking or reading only, that's perfectly fine. Parents and students are welcome to share their goals and preferences. I'm available every day until mid-September. From the end of September onwards, I will be back at university, so I'll mainly be available on weekends. My evening schedule during the week is still unknown, but this can be discussed later on.

Hello, I'm Sofia, 19 years old, and a university student. As a child, I attended an international school, where I used English daily for years in both academic and social settings. As a result, I have a native-level command of the language. Although I don't have any formal tutoring experience, I am motivated, patient, and enthusiastic about helping children and students develop their English skills. I am flexible and happy to adapt to the student's needs. Whether it's just speaking, reading, listening, writing, or homework help—everything is available. For example, if a student mainly wants to practice speaking or reading, that's perfectly fine. Parents and students are always welcome to indicate what they need. I am available every day until mid-September. My program will resume at the end of September, so I will be able to teach mainly on weekends. My class schedule is not yet available, but we can discuss it together.

- Do you want to learn how to pronounce words correctly and use them in sentences?
- Do you want to learn how to spell words correctly and write them in sentences?
- Do you want to be able to read and understand French and/or Dutch?
If your answer is 'yes' to one of those questions, you are in the right place.

At work, at home, at parties, and everywhere else, good communication is indispensable to be able to understand each other. A language is meant to be spoken and understood. The best way to understand a language is being exposed to it, whether through books, movies, songs or social media. In my classes, only motivation is required. During the first class, we explore your needs and what I can offer you. Outside and during my classes, you are your own teacher. The higher you expose yourself to the language, the quicker you'll master it. I am your coach who will guide you through it and give you some tools along with tips and tricks to master the basics. I am willing to help you as long as you need. If you want my help one hour for French and one hour for Dutch per week, or only 30 minutes/week for Dutch, that is up to you! Additionally, I offer group sessions of maximum 4 persons per session. It is your responsability to look for your classmates if that is something you are up to.

Hey, I'm Pierre and I have a degree in Sociology. I'm perfectly bilingual (FR/NL) and have been tutoring French, English, and Dutch for five years. From primary school to secondary school level. Student motivation is central to my tutoring!
