English lessons (speaking or writing) with a British Native Speaker

I am a British native english speaker working in Brussels, looking to help anyone who wants to improve either their spoken or written english in a professional or social context. My goal is to be flexible and focus on exactly what you want to improve, having some experience in privately tutoring English to French and Dutch children before. I have a B2/C1 level certificate in French so if needed the class can be taught in French.

About Me

- I am a British young professional working at a think tank in Brussels looking to make a little extra money from tutoring English in Brussels' international environment.
- I was educated at Oxford University in history and politics as well as a masters degree at the College of Europe in Bruges. I have advanced written and oral skills in English from completing two academic theses.
- But most of all I just enjoy sharing my language and its nuances with others so they can use English to explore the rest of the world more easily.

Education

BA (Honours), History and Politics at Magdalen College, the University of Oxford. MA in EU International Relations and Diplomacy Studies at the College of Europe in Bruges (mention très bien).

Experience / Qualifications

I taught English to a Dutch family over the summer last year (2018) in Brussels and found the experience highly rewarding, particularly as the son's English improved over a few weeks of intensive lessons.

Corinne
English: pronunciation (British or American). No grammar lessons. Adults only.
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.

Joy
French as a foreign language (FLE) course - Beginners, intermediate and advanced
My name is Joy and I offer French as a foreign language (FLE) courses. French is my mother tongue, and I am passionate about my job, which I have been doing for 3 years. Dynamic, I like learning to take place in a good mood. My courses are adapted to your needs, your desires and your level. The first lesson serves to tie it all together, in addition to breaking the ice. My priority is to give my students confidence. All skills are covered, and it is also possible to focus lessons on production and oral comprehension (phonetics, accent reduction, etc.) as well as on specific objectives (FOS) If you are a secondary or higher education student and French is not your mother tongue, I can also give you academic support lessons. My classes are given online or at your home, depending on your location. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. See you soon Joy :)

Elisa
English - learn by doing (from perfecting the language to teaching the basics to upgrading)
In the case of tutoring, I base my lessons on the subject seen by the student by explaining to him in another way with many examples and by making him practice as much as possible. In case of learning the basics, I have set up my own totally interactive method so that the student can practice and during which I speak almost only in English to be close to immersion during the lessons. Do not hesitate to contact me for: - learn the basics - prepare for a test - have support for your lessons - practice the language - ... Whatever your needs, I take a practical and fun approach to English because, in my opinion, it is the best way to learn.

Feel stuck? Let's take your English to the next level
Since I believe that the learning environment is one of the keys to successful language learning, I endeavor to make students feel comfortable and content in my lessons: to ask questions if they are unsure and keep an easy but rewarding pace of learning. Depending on how my students feel they learn English most effectively, I adapt my lessons to use materials that give them the best results possible. For instance, some students find the continuity of a coursebook effective, while others prefer to be more flexible with articles and podcasts. I know from experience that every student is unique.

Cynthia
English Tutoring for Comfort at Work and to Pass Exams
I specialise in tutoring English for European Union professional exams (e.g., AST - AD promotion exams and 'retour' interpretation exams), for other exams (SAT, GMAT, GRE, FCE, CAE, CPE, IELTS. TOEFL), for thesis submission, and for other professional work, particularly English for auditors, legal, financial and ambassadorial advisors, business people, project managers, salespeople, physicians, scientists, and academic students. All courses are individually tailored to the student's needs and students are invited to supply their own materials from work. Courses usually focus on passing an exam or on achieving a sense being able to work comfortably in English with native or non-native English speakers.
