Are you looking for someone who can give Dutch or English extra lessons to your child? Then I am someone with pleasure! I have been teaching passionate English and Dutch to students between 5 and 16 years old for 6 years. It gives me satisfaction to see how my students grow and learn to master the language thanks to a tailor-made collaboration.
I have both my Masters in Communication Sciences and my C2 Upper Advanced level English diploma.
Teaching is something I do purely as a job because working with children makes me happy.

I am a native American English speaking instructor, editor, journalist, and legal/policy expert from Florida specializing in instruction, interview and exam prep, consulting and text correction for a wide range of professionals & students across Belgium including in the legal, academic, policy, and other fields.

My past & present clients have included: professionals and politicians from all four major EU institutions, the Belgian government, the UNHCR, and various NGOs, alongside diplomats, doctors, journalists, and engineers, as well as a variety of other professions in addition to traditional students..I have had over 50+ repeat students on Apprentus (which recently changed their algorithm to only display the last six months).

Approaching from a true native's perspective, I instruct and assist with both educational and business English in a multi-faceted nature covering a wide range of areas including comprehension, conversation, grammar, and situational skills, in addition to working on general language skills and accent training. As well, I can provide extensive help and training with the EPSO, IELTS, and TOEFL exams.

I have also written, edited or proofread a variety of academic papers, theses, applications, CVs, and other documents for numerous satisfied academic and professional clients.

I have spent my entire childhood and adult life in the United States before completing a master's degree in Political Science and European Politics at KU Leuven. Additionally, I also possess Bachelor's degrees in Political Science and History. I have an extensive knowledge and experience of English grammar and literature, as well as current and past working experience in journalism (Anti-Competition Law and European Policy at the Policy and Regulatory Report) and both European and American politics.

I also handle correction of text, editing, proofreading and ghostwriting, with weekly and monthly rates possible. My transportation costs are included.

I have facilitated workshops and given classes throughout my career all over the world.

English pronunciation is essential these days because English is spoken everywhere and all the time.

I followed specialized training such as the verb tonal method, Feldenkrais or mental coaching.

We are therefore going to work in a slightly different way by combining articulatory techniques, movement, rhythm, intonation, warming up of the jaw and tongue, stretching of the neck, neck and shoulders to arrive to very fast results.

I have experience working with teenagers and young adults, and my teaching also includes coaching. I am willing to travel to my student's home, and they are also welcome to visit me at my home (Uccle).

Dutch can become natural for you too.

I have spoken Dutch since I was 2 years old.
Over time, I have not only kept this language: I have worked on it, perfected it and mastered it until it became a real asset.

This journey has allowed me to understand one essential thing:
👉 Dutch is learned much better when you experience it, rather than when you endure it.


A method that really works

I have helped many people learn Dutch, even those who thought they would "never succeed".
Thanks to a clear, progressive and effective teaching method, my students quickly gain confidence and fluency.

No unnecessary theory here:
We talk, we understand, we practice from the start.


For who ?

✔️ Beginners or false beginners
✔️ Students and professionals
✔️ Anyone who wants to learn without stress and with results


My objective

To show you that Dutch is not complicated, and to help you learn it simply, effectively and sustainably.

Je propose des cours particuliers de néerlandais (conversation et grammaire) à des élèves de tous niveaux : de débutant à confirmé, pour un soutien dans la matière de l’enseignement secondaire et supérieur, ou pour toute personne qui souhaite parfaire sa maîtrise de la langue.

Ma méthode s’articule autour de deux axes principaux, selon vos besoins :

1. Cours théoriques : apprendre ou parfaire ses connaissances de la langue à l’aide d’exercices de grammaire (conjugaison, construction de phrases), enrichir son vocabulaire.

2. Cours de conversation : s’entraîner à pratiquer la langue à partir de textes qui traitent de l’actualité ou de jeux de rôle.

J'ai à coeur de m'adapter aux besoins, au rythme et aux spécificités de chaque élève, afin de créer une atmosphère conviviale et propice à l'apprentissage.

------

A propos de moi :

Néerlandophone de naissance, j'ai grandi aux Pays-Bas avant de déménager en Belgique où je vis depuis maintenant plus de quarante ans.

Dès ma jeunesse, j'ai appris plusieurs langues étrangères (français, anglais, et allemand) et me suis intéressé à leur fonctionnement ; ceci m'a permis d'avoir une excellente compréhension de la grammaire de manière générale, mais aussi de mieux appréhender ce qui peut faciliter ou entraver l'apprentissage d'une nouvelle langue.

Au cours de ma vie, j’ai déjà pu accumuler de l’expérience en tant qu'enseignant de langues, aussi bien dans le cadre de cours individuels que collectifs, à des jeunes et à des adultes.

Secondary school students (all levels)
Difficulties with Dutch (vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, speaking, listening)

I am a creative, patient and adaptive primary teacher with 8 years of experience. I began teaching as a university student, volunteering in a local primary school, and fell in love with helping students feel passionate and engaged in their learning. I began my teacher training in 2017 with the Teach First programme, teaching near London. In 2019 I moved to Italy and taught there for 6 years, honing my skills in developing confident learners with a great understanding of English. Last year, I moved to Belgium to join my partner and have begun life as a tutor!

What I love most about tutoring is being able to target each lesson to the child, slowly building their confidence and focusing on the areas they need most support, helping them to feel confidence in their learning. I build their interests and strengths into each lesson so they feel engaged and supported. I have a wealth of experience supporting students with a range of SEND needs as well as English as an Additional Language.
