🇬🇧 Living English: Confidence, Conversation & Tailor-made Method

From 35 € /h

"Let's speak English with passion... and efficiency!"

English is first and foremost a tool for connecting with the world, not a set of grammar rules to be memorized. As a student of Translation and Interpreting, I offer a dynamic approach to unlock your spoken expression and boost your confidence.

🕐 Your first session: Diagnosis & Objectives
During our initial discussion, we will define your learning profile together:

Your needs (academic, professional, travel preparation),

Your interests,

The pace that suits you.
This allows us to develop a completely personalized work plan.

🎯 Method: English through active immersion
I use a real-life simulation-based approach to promote naturalness and fluidity:

💬 Targeted conversation: Discussions on topics that interest you.

🎭 Role-playing games: To prepare you for everyday or professional situations.

🎧 Culture & Media: Using authentic resources to enrich your vocabulary.

🎲 Playful approach: Interactive tools to memorize key structures without the boredom of repetition.

✍️ Need rigor?
If you're looking to strengthen your foundational skills, we can delve deeper into writing: translation, analysis of key structures, or proofreading your own work. We tailor the course to your priorities.

🌈 Why choose me?
I firmly believe that we learn best when we feel confident. My role is to create a supportive space where mistakes are simply steps towards progress. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, come with your own perspective, and I'll translate it into English!

Ready to take action?
So book your first session and let's start making English your greatest asset right now!

About Me

Learning is, above all, about finding the method that resonates with who you are.

As a Translation and Interpreting student at UCLouvain and a passionate music lover, I offer personalized support to help you progress, whatever your level. Drawing on my international immersion experience in Shanghai (SISU), I learned that mastering a discipline – whether it's a language or an instrument – relies as much on rigor as on enjoyment.

My approach:
I am convinced that learning is more effective when it is engaging. I place great importance on the playful and creative aspects: quizzes, word games, visual diagrams, concrete scenarios... These are all tools I use to stimulate concentration and transform obstacles into opportunities for success.

What I offer you:

Tailor-made: Each student has their own pace and learning style. I design my lessons according to your needs and personality.

Kindness: My classes are spaces for listening and personal growth. Mistakes are not failures, but necessary steps towards autonomy and confidence.

Versatility: I can teach in French as well as English, and converse in Chinese or Spanish to support international students.

My goal? To help you (re)discover the joy of learning and give you the tools to become independent. Don't hesitate to contact me to discuss your goals and book an initial session!

Tailor-made French: Oral practice and immersion for beginners and intermediate learners.

35 € /h

Mastering the language of Molière, both beautiful and complex, is not an easy thing even for native speakers.

Soon to graduate in English-Chinese-French translation and interpretation, and passionate about language learning (with international experience in Shanghai), I have developed a method based on real-life interaction. No reciting conjugation tables here; you will experience French firsthand.

My method is personalized; we work on subjects that interest you (botany, astronomy, music) and communicate primarily orally. For beginners, we'll start with key vocabulary words through role-playing, and for more advanced learners, we'll work on writing with longer texts. Don't let the fear of making mistakes hold you back. Book a trial lesson and let's discuss your goals!

Piano Lessons For Foreign Speakers (Given in English and French)

35 € /h

The first minutes will be focused on the theory (in English, French or both if asked), and some culture of the western music. Then we will practise on the instrument. The the student can bring any sheets he wants. He will be advised on the manuel technic (how to place his/her hands, how to read efficiently).

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 is a language that is more and more important as society evolves, becoming mandatory to learn in some fields already. My goal is to help you understand the language and how it is used, both by the book and in real circumstances. I am also able to teach in ways that could benefit students struggling with the current education system (dyslexia and such).
