Professional English taught by British journalist/editor/comms professional

*Zoom classes available*!

I'm an experienced English teacher from London and have worked for the past ten years in journalism, editing and communications. I have extensive experience working within the Brussels bubble and specialise in helping students adapt to professional life here. I enjoy helping my students improve their business English fluency and understanding of idiomatic expressions to really take their English to the next level.

I have a British accent, however, I am familiar with the nuances of other accents and spelling differences. I have a lot of experience in helping newcomers to the British accent understand the subtle pronunciation differences that will make it far easier for you to understand.

I teach anything from beginners all the way up to advanced learners who want to brush up on their writing or public speaking skills.

I also offer an editing and proof-reading service.

Extra information

Depending on what the student requires I can set homework, however if activities should be limited to classroom hours then I'm always willing to make things more interesting. I like to use TV, film and real-life situations to help students really remember and relate to the language.

About Me

I'm an experienced English teacher and communications professional. I've also worked extensively in journalism, so can provide guidance on all means of communication.

I have a British accent - London to be precise! However, I am familiar with the nuances of other accents and spelling differences. I have a lot of experience in helping newcomers to the British accent understand the subtle pronunciation differences that will make it far easier for you to understand.

I've lived in the UK, Spain, Brazil and now Belgium and love discussing other cultures, societies and environments. It's really for fulfilling for me to incorporate all of this into my lessons and watch students progress over time. I prefer giving conversational lessons and only guiding students on points of grammar they don't understand (as the grammar all starts to make sense when you get the rhythm and vocabulary first!). My lessons incorporate video and other listening and interactive activities.

Gohar
English for beginners, online, acquire basic knowledge of English and become an independent learner
An element for progressing rapidly in the new language of developing one's vocabulary. Oubliez la grammaire for a moment. If you are a good master of the grammar of your language: if your vocabulary is limited, you should only express it simply. Mieux vaut s'exprimer en faisant quelques fautes de grammaire que ne pas pouvoir s'exprimer du tout! It is sufficient to pass the first step of the manière aléatoire. There are different types of vocabulary: More than a grammatical addition is a one-off error in the presentation, but if the apprendre paralelement is not correct, it is necessary to ensure that the professor is able to combine the method effectively

English lessons for all levels and ages. Methodology adapt to each student.
I offer English classes for all levels and ages. Classes can be individual and in groups. My methodology is focused in practicing, mainly, speaking and listening. Nonetheless, methodology depends on the student's strengths and weaknesses. The methodology depends on the students needs. I have experienced working with teens and middle schoolers. I can adapt my methodology to students who do not know how to read and write yet. For the youngest students I try to make my classes very practical and full of games, focusing mainly on listening. For older students, it will depend on the objective of the student

Ibrahim
English for beginners and guidance with homework, tests and presentations
I know that English can be a difficult subject for many and not everyone has the same aptitude for it. That is why I would like to help you learn this language and guide you in your tasks, tests and presentations. A few days before each lesson I would like to know what your task/test or presentation is about so that I can prepare for what you need. My goal is to take your English to the next level. About myself: I'm Ibrahim, I'm 18 years old and I'm a student in my first year of computer science at the VUB. My native language is Dutch. I then learned English, French and Arabic. I am very good with children and have experience with them. I spent a total of 9 weeks on various playgrounds in Brussels and Leuven.

Shabneez
English, Turkish, French, Maths, Economics, Accounting & Chess Tuitions. I also do translation works in English-Turkish-French.
The focus of my tuitions is to instil the confidence necessary in the student to embrace a new language, and to master the little tactics of learning. I have a variety of materials to make sure that my student(s) do not get overwhelmed, but instead feel motivated to learn more. Depending upon the personality and wants of my student, I may assign written homework and/or other stimulating stuff like videos to make sure the student is having a continuous and sustainable progress. I was also an Intercollege Chess Champion back in my country, hence, I can give you various techniques and strategies to foresee the moves of your opponents, calculate and plan everything in your head before acting (so as to prevent your rival from getting any hint of your motives), and brain exercises to improve your logic and memory simultaneously as these two areas of the brain are the two main determinants of how fierce and successful a chess player you would be. As for the translation works, I specialise in the translation of any work ranging from research articles to simple homework. I have translated various documents in the following languages: English, French and Turkish.
