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 (grammar/vocabulary)
Francophone having studied in Dutch-speaking education, I continued my studies in both languages. During my studies, I followed several internships abroad (UK, Malta) to perfect my English.

It all depends on the objectives that the student has, I can prepare the appropriate lessons / materials

Gabrielle
Practice and improve your English effectively
Having followed an English training from kindergarten to high school, I want to share the bilingualism that was offered to me. Because English is linguistically a major tool and it opens many doors, I want to teach the student how to master it at best. To do this, a course divided into two equal parts, the first to learn grammar and vocabulary and the second to practice.

Victor
Personalized English Lessons for All Levels by a Young C1 level
Dear Madam/Dear Sir, I am pleased to offer you tailor-made English lessons to help you improve your language skills. Recognizing that mastery takes time, my goal is to guide you in improving your level of French and give you the means to continue learning independently. I will support you in regularly assessing and improving your abilities. I currently live in Brussels (Ixelles). I am willing to travel within a 30-minute radius to help you at home. Alternatively, we can hold our sessions in a library. My name is Victor, 22 year old student in mathematics and economics. Aspiring to become a teacher, I bring enthusiasm, patience and tenacity to my teaching approach. In Lyon, I was able to experience part-time work in schools, helping children with their extracurricular homework. My goal is to show that school is enjoyable and easily manageable. I love the English language. Since primary school, I have worked on it to understand and use it perfectly. I continually improved this skill through college. Our sessions will focus on grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation through writing, speaking and listening exercises. With access to a large amount of online resources, we can personalize our approach to accelerate your progress toward fluency in French. Each session will include two 25-minute work periods with a 5-minute break in between, following the Pomodoro technique to maximize attention. We will use various learning techniques such as priming, interleaving and the Feynman method to ensure complete understanding. The goal is to actively engage the student, creating pathways for brain stimulation. After each session, I will provide recommendations for additional practice. The first session will be based on the assessment of the student's level and their preferred type of memory (kinesthetic, visual or auditory). For more information or to schedule a session, please contact me, I will respond as quickly as possible. Best regards, Victor

English classes for all levels and ages. Methodology adapted to each student.
I offer English classes for all levels and ages. Classes can be one-to-one and in groups. My methodology focuses mainly on practicing speaking and listening. However, the methodology depends on the student's strengths and weaknesses. The methodology depends on the needs of the students. I've experienced working with teenagers and high school students. I can adapt my methodology to students who do not yet know how to read or write. For the little ones I try to make my classes very practical and full of games, focusing mainly on listening. For older students, it will depend on the student's goal. I don't speack French.
