English Tutoring, Conversational Skills, Writing Editing, Speech Therapy etc.
Hello! My name is Julia and I am a native English speaking Speech Language Pathologist and former early childhood educator. I love languages and sharing my language with others. I provide tutoring services in English, whether it's reading, writing, or building conversational/communication skills. English is such an important international language and learning from a native speaker is crucial. I am a very patient teacher and love finding strategies that work for everyone. As a speech language pathologist, I have also worked with clients in modifying their accents if that is something you are interested in. Let me know your specific interests and needs as they pertain to the English language, and I can design tutoring sessions to work for you.

Law - First, Second or Third Year of Law School, Master's Degree in Law, and Post-Graduate levels.
I am a qualified attorney-at-law and hold a PhD in International Law. I also have two Master's Degrees in Law: an LLM in EU Law from the College of Europe, Bruges, Belgium, and a second LLM from an Italian University. I have three specialization courses in Intellectual Property Law from Universities in China and the United States. As a qualified lawyer, I have worked for top-tier international law firms, the EU institutions, and top-ranked Universities. I am a guest lecturer in law in five Universities across Europe and Asia since 2011. I have been a private tutor for six years now, helping my students achieve their academic goals in different areas such as law, business administration, and communication studies. My experience with tutoring has been nothing but positive: being able to give back after many years of studying and working is extremely rewarding. I love following students through their learning journey, and their results are the best gratification.

Editing & Proof Reading for Academic English Papers, Essays, Theses, Professional Documents & Personal Statements
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.

Generative writing lessons in Brussels (English & Dutch), by a published novelist
The purpose of this class is to get you (back to) writing. It doesn't matter if you're stuck or just getting started. With simple generative writing prompts and exercises, I'll help you overcome your fear of the blank page and start writing. My goal is to help you "rest on the page" and get into a state of flow through techniques like freewriting, list-making, and word associations. You can also receive individual feedback and support on your current or upcoming writing projects, along with helpful exercises that you can do at home, which we can then discuss. The class can be taught in either English or Dutch. Ilona (1992) lives and works in Brussels as a writer, poet, and photographer. Her work examines the fragile architecture of being human, paying particular attention to what hides at the edges of existence, in the shadow of shame. With a background in English literature, linguistics, and political science, she has worked as a writer and copywriter for a decade. Newspaper De Morgen praised her debut novel Donkerkiemer (Pelckmans Publishers, 2023) as ‘particularly cleverly composed' and 'psychologically and philosophically profound’. Themes such as ritual, memory, and loss, as well as a gentle rebellion against prevailing norms and systems, are central to her work. She is currently working on a second novel.
