Literacy, Writing Help, and Workshopping: Flexible English Support for All Ages

Van 30 $ /h

Education is power, and with the rise of AI technology, it is now more important than ever to expand upon our reading and writing skills in order to accurately express our ideals and separate fact from fiction. With weekly courses that support your individual needs as a student, from workshopping academic papers to personal stories, to providing lessons based on literacy, to understanding the components of an academic essay, each lesson is based entirely on the student’s desired outcomes. The goal for these lessons is for students to come out with a greater understanding of the reading and writing process, and to utilize their new skills throughout their entire academic futures.

As a University graduate with a major in English Creative Writing, and having been experienced as an educator and tutor, I can provide any writing or reading assistance needed from Elementary students to adult learners.

Extra informatie

Provide your own writing program (Google Docs, Microsoft Word, etc) or handwriting materials. Bring specific readings you’d like to engage with, otherwise I will help to provide.

Over

With three years of educational experience, I have learned the many intricacies involved in providing for students’ needs regarding their education. As I hold a deep passion for English studies and open accessibility to education for all students, no matter their age or background, I have worked to incorporate each of these ideals into the classroom environment to provide in-depth lessons that are catered towards individual needs.

Education is for everyone - and I work to ensure that each of my lessons and tutoring sessions reflect my greatest desire to encourage all students to have an open mind towards learning, especially in the realm of reading and writing.

So if you have any questions or you need help, just let me know, and I hope to see you soon!

Kind regards, Gwinny

Articles, books, columns, film scripts, press releases, radio spots, reviews, TV scripts and simply copywriting with SEO: most of us have tried to squeeze one or more of these types of writing out of the (virtual) pen. However, it is not always easy to deliver good texts. One person has great ideas, but cannot convert them into ink (digital or otherwise); the other is creative, but makes too many spelling mistakes; and a third kind of person is a language Nazi, but fails to come up with fluent, natural-feeling dialogue. The writing course from offers solace.

This way you can not only learn to act, but also get a taste of our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, physical acting, lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, it remains true: the more you follow one particular course, the faster you progress.

Our writing course

Our course covers all possible texts and can be followed both privately and in a small group. Moreover, we mainly teach you what you are interested in. During our first meeting we will discuss your goals in detail, after which we will focus the entire course on what you exactly want and need. All ages and levels are welcome with us, so we welcome you with open arms even if you have no experience at all or especially need tutoring!

About our coach

To be sure: our head coach is at home in all markets. He wrote his first book, the science fantasy Ice, the Lost Planet, when he was 11. The novel was published three years later, which earned Dirk his city's cultural merit prize and items on almost all national TV and radio stations, as well as articles in every leading newspaper and a large number of magazines. Dirk later also became the very first Flemish author whose books he himself had pinned in English were published by American publishers: Fates Worse than Death: Hunter by Vajra Enterprises and Baour, Strands of Death by BlackWyrm Publishing.

In between Dirk became a journalist. He wrote - or still writes - for 'fanzines', magazines, newspapers and websites such as Zita, Skynet, The Fighting Bard, Mandragon, Dreun, Mindview, Keys & Chords, Bello Magazine, De Zondag, Doorgelicht.be, MetalBorn, BeauSense Magazine, PDF'zines, GameJunks, Rpg.net, the Delta Gids, Cerberus, Cerberus Too, Cerberus Food & Lifestyle, Wellness Insight, Care Insight, Move On, Cult of Cool, Cult of Chic and Cult of Design. Thanks to his wide range of interests, he could go just about anywhere to write passionately about his favorite topics, but there is more.

Dirk wrote hundreds of press releases for PR agency Oskaar and later for his own PR agency, Badass PR - mainly for films, television series, the hospitality industry and various charities. He also provides numerous newsletters and social media for his clients.

Dirk has been a coach since he was twenty – when he was still studying psychology at the KUL – and has written several film and short film scripts as an acting teacher and screenwriter. Numerous radio spots have also rolled out of his brain. The most startling assignment, however, came when Modiphius Entertainment – the largest independent producer and distributor of role-playing games in the world – hired him to write the film script and audio play for Achtung! Cthulhu to write. They were so well received that he is currently reading the complete audio series of Achtung! Cthulhu is finishing. In addition, he is busy working on Iron Sky: The Roleplaying Game, which has been delayed considerably due to the fact that the second film was released much later than expected, production problems, the death of one of the two lead writers and the corona crisis. , but will be released next year at the largest role-playing convention in the world, Gen Con in Indianapolis.

About you

During our writing course, it goes without saying that it is not about us, but about you and your writing! Few things we enjoy as much as watching someone progress and live their passions. That is why we often go a step further after class and continue to support you, whatever texts you want to write!

I will closely monitor your entire learning journey, to get the most out of your skills!
That's because I love learning new languages! That's why after years of studying I became a polyglot (8 languages - Italian, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Dutch) and I came up with a method to teach you the language you want to learn!
Over the years I have learned to model my work according to the personal needs of each student and have developed a method that allows my students to learn the language in a fast and fun way.
My hobby is my greatest passion is learning other languages, therefore from my experience I can understand many of the problems associated with learning a foreign language.
My lessons are based on a specific method that I have designed to facilitate and accelerate learning.

Learning a language doesn’t have to feel like an obligation. In my lessons, it becomes something you use: in real conversations, at work, at school, and in everyday life. I teach children, teenagers, and adults, always adapting to the age, level, and goals of the student. Through roleplays, simulations, and practical exercises tailored to you, you don’t just learn vocabulary and grammar, you build the confidence and skills to truly function in Dutch.

When we set an objective, we work toward it step by step. At the same time, we create a supportive space together where mistakes are part of growth. You can expect clear progress, personalized guidance, and lessons that help you move from understanding Dutch to confidently owning it.

German classes based on conversation, covering different aspects of daily life and culture. Reading and writing will be trained as well to achieve a confident and independent communication on a desired level. The student can co-develop a curriculum based on personal interests and studying rhythm. Using the strategy of language schools, the lessons will be held in German to ensure practice and train the listening comprehension.

Tijdens de Cito-training gaan we actief aan de slag met verschillende soorten opdrachten uit rekenen, taal en begrijpend lezen. We oefenen met echte voorbeeldvragen en kijken samen hoe je die het beste kunt aanpakken. Niet alleen het juiste antwoord is belangrijk, maar vooral hoe je daar komt.

We leren handige manieren om vragen stap voor stap op te lossen. Soms betekent dat dat we een andere aanpak proberen als iets niet meteen lukt. Leerlingen ontdekken wat voor hen goed werkt en oefenen met het aanpassen van hun strategie.

In de lessen werken we afwisselend zelfstandig, in kleine groepjes en samen met de leerkracht. We bespreken antwoorden, vergelijken aanpakken en leren van elkaar. Ook oefenen we met het werken onder tijdsdruk, zodat leerlingen hier vertrouwd mee raken.

Er is veel ruimte om vragen te stellen en extra uitleg te krijgen. Zo bouwen leerlingen niet alleen kennis op, maar ook vertrouwen in hun eigen kunnen.

My experience, particularly in recent years, has primarily been in teaching children in special education. Consequently, I have a patient attitude and I assign tasks appropriate to the participant's level. My approach focuses on creating a safe, pleasant, and positive learning environment.
Both children and adults are very welcome at my place!

My lessons are varied and can be adapted to your own level, goals, and wishes. Do you want to focus on reading comprehension, conversation in everyday situations, correct writing, and spelling? It is all possible.
I like to use practical examples, and in the case of children, I can incorporate singing where desired.

Let me know what your needs are, and we will figure it out together.

I teach filmmaking classes with a focus on directing and storytelling for film, TV, and video. In these classes, I guide you through the entire process: from idea and concept to filming and editing your project. We go through every step.

We work with topics such as story structure, script development, scene analysis, and directing actors. You will learn how to convey emotion, tension, and meaning through directorial choices and storytelling.

In addition, I help you with the practical development of your project: how to turn an idea into a plan, how a shooting day works, and how to bring your footage together into a cohesive whole during editing. The entire production.

The lessons are tailored to your level and interests, so that you can work on your own project or skills step by step.

Thanks to my background as a film director, you gain insight into both the creative process and the realities of a film set.

The lessons are personal and practical, and suitable for both children and adults.

The lessons can be given in Dutch or English.

Ik help bij:
📖 lezen en begrijpend lezen
✏️ spelling en schrijven
🗣️ taalontwikkeling

💻 Online lessen – gewoon van thuis uit
📅 Flexibel in te plannen

Stuur gerust een berichtje — ik help graag (en ik beloof: geen saaie lessen 😉)

Establishing kindergarten and primary school children and following up on daily assignments in all subjects and memorizing the Quran for all ages, basics of the English language and basics of the Dutch language, the first two trial lessons to help the student determine whether there is a response and willingness to continue or not, in order to avoid wasting time on what is not useful.
