Private language classes: English and Dutch for both beginners and advanced (A1-C2 CEFR)

From 42 € /h

My name is Arno and I am currently getting my master's degree at Sciences Po Paris in European Affairs. I have always loved languages. I was raised in a trilingual environment through which I learned Dutch, English, and Armenian. Being raised in this environment has changed the way I look at languages. Besides these three, I also speak Norwegian, Spanish, and French at a B2 level (CEFR) as well as Arabic at B1 level (CEFR).

I have more than 5 years of professional experience in language tutoring and know what works and what does not. I have tutored high school and college students and have taught languages to students as young as 7 and as old as 63. My most rewarding language tutoring experience was teaching Dutch to Syrian refugees. Through them, I truly understood the importance of language and how it can connect people from across the world.

My personal approach to language learning as a combination of learning how to speak quickly and truly understanding grammar. I try to integrate conversations in the target language from the first class, while at the same time teaching grammar in an accessible way. I understand that students often find grammar daunting, but with the right approach, it truly does not have to be. I do not believe in a "first learn, then apply" approach. When I teach, I want students to start engaging with the language from day one.

Whether you have been studying for years, or you are starting from scratch, I am sure that we can make you feel more confident in your abilities in no time!

Extra information

I always prefer students to inform me well in advance of any topics they struggle most with. This way, I can prepare the necessary materials to enhance the tutoring session. I would also like to know how much experience you have with the language.

About Me

Hello! My name is Arno and I have been tutoring for as long as I can remember. I am currently living in Bruges, Belgium, on my way to get my second master's degree in UE International Relations at the College of Europe. Before that, I got my Master's in European Affairs from Sciences Po Paris and a BA in World Politics (cum laude) from Leiden University. I love tutoring as a way to help other people unlock their potential. When I am not studying or tutoring, I spend most of my time in the outdoors, hiking, running, or kayaking.

IB Tutor - History, Global Politics, English (all levels)

42 € /h

After having finished the International Baccalaureate at a United World College, I continued getting my BA in World Politics (cum laude) and am currently getting my master's degree at Sciences Po Paris in European Affairs. For my HL classes, I received a 7 in Global Politics, a 6 in History, and a 7 in English Lang&Lit.

I started tutoring in my own neighborhood from the age of 14, but have since gained 5 years of professional tutoring experience, including by working as a college-level student assistant. My approach to learning is influenced by my own diverse background. I have studied in the Netherlands, Armenia, Norway, and Egypt; all these places have shown me what works and what doesn't. When it comes to the IB, I strongly understand how essays should be structured and what exam strategies work best to achieve the highest results.

Former English bilingual speaker at the City of Paris, I want to help students to be more comfortable speaking during conversations on current or cultural topics. I note in writing - correction sheet - vocabulary, grammar rules to study or review, at the end of the course the vocabulary and grammar rules are recalled. The correction sheet is given to the student and reviewed in the next class.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

English, although it is an easier language than some others, can, at times, prove to be complicated.

Bilingual following my childhood spent in England, I offer support from elementary school to high school (and more), whatever your level (basic or not).

Whether it is for a school aid or to better understand English, speak it, review basics that have not been completely acquired, build sentences, write paragraphs, analyze words and use them, improve pronunciation, spelling, translating, or just conversing in English ..., I offer my help.

My services in learning English are quite broad: we will analyze what you are missing and I will adapt the course according to your needs, so that it is no longer a problem.

Hello! I have been teaching English for five years, to adults and children alike. I offer classes that are uniquely adapted to the students needs and their interests. My aim is to build my student's confidence, by following their line of inquiry — engaging in a rich, and increasingly challenging dialogue with the individual.

My classes are for children and teenagers, who want to:
. Develop and widen their vocabulary;
. Need help preparing for an exam, a paper or an important interview;
. Gain confidence in spoken English;
. Attain a fluent level of spoken and written English

We will begin by identifying the student's greatest interests — those subjects they are most curious about and topics that stimulate them. These topics will be "stimulators", fueling conversations and language activities that the student themselves will eventually lead. Then, we will identify the student's biggest worries regarding the English language — where they are confused, or tend to make mistakes. This will form the workshop part of the lesson, focused on overcoming tricky grammatical mistakes and revising more complex linguistic and phonetic errors.

I also offer the possibility of following a Cambridge exam orientated syllabus, such as Family and Friends, Cambridge Starters, Movers, Flyers, or B1, B2.

After 8 years of teaching I have found this tailored approach to be, by far, the most effective. I look forward to collaborating with you soon!

I help students in school as well as adults to develop languages such as English, German or French.
During the lesson, we will take the time to carefully review the material until the student fully understands its meaning, and we will adapt the exercises accordingly. For adults, I create exercises designed to help them progress in their chosen language.
I try my best to make the lesson fun and ensure the students have a good time!

Currently a third-year engineering student at ESILV after a preparatory class in Mathematics and Physics, I offer private lessons tailored to the needs of each student.
I can tutor middle school and high school students in mathematics, physics, computer science, as well as history, French, philosophy, and Spanish. I also offer advanced courses in mathematics, physics, and computer science.

My teaching method is based on a structured and proven approach, which I developed and refined during the private lessons I gave in preparatory classes.
First session: reading and understanding the lesson, creating a summary sheet, application exercises, then exercises to do for the next session.
Subsequent sessions: quick oral review based on the completed worksheet, detailed correction of exercises and further exploration of key concepts.
This method allows the student to consolidate their foundations, gain rigor and autonomy, while progressing effectively.

In a world dominated by English-speaking nations, mastering the language is essential. Using a fun and engaging approach, I can teach children to speak English easily through games, stories, and songs. For adults, the focus is primarily on oral and written expression.
