Improve your Academic Writing and Applications in English
Hello there,
My name is Benjamin and I am a French art historian. My academic training in the English language started at the University of Toronto where I received a BA (summa cum laude) in History of Art and Philosophy. I also hold a Masters from the Courtauld Institute of Art in London in the history of Northern Renaissance art, and a Masters from KU Leuven in Philosophy. I am about to begin a PhD in History of Art and Ideas at the Warburg Institute in London. I am a native speaker/ reader in French.
This course is intended for the general student of the humanities, Arts, and Sciences who would like to improve or formalise their written English. This course is focused on academic contexts, and can be tailored to suit your learning needs and level (high school to post-graduate). I am also available to assist with your academic applications/ interview prep in English.
My main research interests are focused on pre-modern (1100-1600) European philosophy and art. I have a strong general reading in literary studies, cultural sciences, philosophy, and World History.
I am available to meet at a cafe in Brussels, your home, or over Zoom.
I look forward to helping you reach your academic goals!

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.
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.
Serdane
English courses for high school students or adults
My name is Serdane and I offer English lessons to high school students and adults who find it difficult to develop a way of working that suits them. Extroverted and bubbly... and above all, full of humor!
I believe that language learning is based above all on the development of an appropriate learning method. Some learn languages intuitively by engaging in conversations. Others, on the contrary, need rigorous exposure to grammatical concepts before launching into conversations. There are as many ways to learn as there are students... That's why I adapt my lessons to everyone's needs, and above all, I try to help each student discover what works for him, so that he can continue to progress independently.
A few words about my background: after high school in Saint-Boniface, I obtained a double bilingual baccalaureate (French-English) in law and economics at Saint-Louis University, then a master's degree in law at UCL (completed in June 2018), including an Erasmus semester in German at the University of Vienna. This varied background has allowed me to develop a solid working method.
My areas of expertise:
- Enhancement
- catching up
- Grammar reviews
- Conversation course
- Work method (organization, schedule of revisions, etc.)
My price includes full tutoring (private lessons, the possibility of asking questions outside of class hours, writing and correcting questions, etc.).
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.

Fereshteh
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.

Liora
English lessons for beginners and more advanced (children and adults), oral practice, accent, vocabulary, pronunciation
The best way to learn a language is to practice it, listen to it and read it! This is why, as far as possible, the lessons will be given IN English, in order to train both your ear and to push you to answer/think in English.
A large part of the learning will go through the oral practice of the language: you will be invited to express yourself on various subjects that interest you.
Depending on your interests (and the sphere of possibilities), we can practice English through different activities: cooking, song analysis/translation, etc.
Do not hesitate to call on me, if your objective is:
- To acquire a more fluent English / to converse
- Work on your pronunciation/accent
- To rework a written text / train your written expression
- Learn the basics of the language
I am used to working with children and can adapt to all audiences.
I also offer lessons for the little ones, for a fun initiation with games and small activities (cooking, crafts, walks, drawing, etc.).
I can also address an adult audience seeking to acquire fluent English, a developed vocabulary, and ease in specific contexts.
Lamia
Oral and written French language, literature, Philosophy and human sciences

I also offer courses in philosophy and human sciences, which aim to make accessible to young people of the great currents of thought and to prepare them for evaluations in French language, philosophy and human sciences (writing, dissertation ...) .
Laia Mani
Language courses in Spanish, English and Catalan for all ages
Hola!
My name is Laia and I am a student from Spain studying a MA in political science in Brussels. Therefore, my mother tongue is Spanish and Catalan. Moreover, I've had the opportunity to live and study abroad in countries like the United States, Germany and France and I have achieved the C2 level in english (Cambridge title), and the basic levels in French and German. I really like teaching languages since I believe learning idioms is a really useful skill and I can totally adapt to every type of class that the student desires (it can be online or at home, I could focus more on Speaking or the desired area, and I could also teach more than one student at a time).
I have taught english to kids before and I really enjoy the experience of seeing people develop an interest for the Spanish/Catalan culture.
