I am a Research Master’s student in Philosophy at the KU Leuven from Toronto Canada. My native language is English and I also have background knowledge of French, however, I don’t speak it well. I teach private lessons on how to write essays in English in the Brussels and Leuven area.

My academic career has provided me with a high level of proficiency in understanding of language structure, syntax and grammar. As an editor-in-chief for a university graduate journal in philosophy for two years now, I have cultivated my writing and editing abilities and want to share with you how to easily write and structure papers in order to achieve high grades. My techniques on how to write the perfect paper work for all subject areas. I have experience working with adults and children of all ages and backgrounds.

I am available monday-friday as well as the weekends.

Stanford University graduate offers unique, specialized English consultation services for academic and business projects that require a high-level of English and academic knowledge. I am a professor of Political Science and a business, with a Ph.D. in Political Science and hold a bachelor's degree in Public Policy and a Master's in Anthropology, and I am happy to engage new subjects and philosophical writing that may require specific subject experience.

I just had a baby so I’m taking some time off from research and have space for a few clients or small teaching projects.

I have helped academic post-docs and faculty from ULB and VUB in proofreading articles and adding appropriate English vocabulary for A-list journals in the social sciences and philosophy while also editing two academic books. I have also consulted on several communications course documents for trainings at the EU institutions. If you have a project that needs to be polished, please come to me,

Additionally, I used to work as an editor of résumés and curriculum vitae. If you are searching for a job and need a bit of extra help in this area, do not hesitate to contact me.

Copywriting is the art of selling with words. In short, it's written marketing. Concretely, a copywriter (or copywriter) writes content tailored for the sale of a product or service.

And precisely, it is either:
- to offer you concrete techniques, a clear methodology and pragmatic tools to learn how to write quality content yourself for your own needs
- or to help you directly to promote the content of your product and design a text, a letter, a hook, a slogan, write marketing files, press releases, an internet page, blog posts, advertising banners and newsletters (...) in an impactful and optimal way. Choose the appropriate terms and format them in order to convey an idea, a message, in the most relevant, effective and persuasive way possible.

So, how can you write writing highlighting a brand, a product, a person or simply a company... in order to promote it and gain visibility?

This is why, to help you on the one hand, to create strong, attractive and synthetic messages but also on the other hand, to teach you to do it for yourself, it will be a question of precisely understanding your needs, your product, your strategy, the values you wish to convey (...). Objective: to be creative enough to capture the attention of your audience and make readers want it.

With reusable writing, making your communication profitable, increasing your notoriety and achieving your objectives (...) allows you to make a lasting impression over time. Because always keep in mind that the writing remains.

Develop your visual approach, compare the coherence of the text with the guideline but also the coherence of the idea with the graphic concept: it is also a question of assuming the tasks of coordination.

If you also wish to train yourself to write other content yourself, the training can include deepening your writing skills to give personality to your texts, developing ideas, concepts and their implementation, creativity/presentation techniques... all anchored in practical exercises and scenarios.

➤ THE COPYWRITER TRAINER
Trained at the Grande Ecole post-European preparatory classes & Ivy League University in the United States, our teacher has specialized and worked for more than 17 years, in Europe and North America, in the field. On the one hand as a copywriter then as director of communication / advertising agencies. On the other hand, as a trainer in this field in renowned public and private international establishments, speaking in forums and conferences.

“Speak Business English Confidently – Online Coaching for Adults”

📝 English tutoring for business English

Need clear, natural English for work or daily life? In just one or two focused hours you’ll sharpen pronunciation, train your ear, and pick up practical vocabulary you can use right away.

📋 Full description

Why this class?
After 10 years closing deals and negotiating with international clients, I know the language that really moves business forward. I’m now pivoting into professional teaching and studying for my TEFL certification, so you’ll get the best of both worlds: real‐world business insight plus my fresh, energetic coaching style.

Who it’s for
• Adults who want to sound more natural and confident at work or in everyday conversation
• Professionals preparing for meetings, presentations, or job interviews in English
• Beginners who need a friendly guide to build solid grammar and vocabulary foundations
• French speakers who appreciate explanations in their native language (I’m fully bilingual 🇬🇧/🇫🇷)

What we’ll do together
• Pronunciation clinic: targeted drills & mouth‐position tips to reduce accent interference
• Active listening: shadowing, TED‐talk snippets, and role‐plays to sharpen comprehension
• Business English booster: emails, small talk, negotiation phrases, and industry‐specific jargon
• Grammar & vocab in context: quick, memorable exercises that stick (no dusty worksheets!)
• Immediate feedback and practical homework so you notice progress after every lesson

Method & tools
Zoom or Google Meet • shared whiteboard • authentic audio & video clips • customised Google Docs so your notes are always one click away

About your tutor
I’m Lorry, Belgian and British, a Sales Consultant professional turned future TEFL‐certified teacher. Having coached colleagues, pitched to C‐level execs, and lived in multilingual Brussels, Belgium and Johannesburg, South Africa, for the last 20 years, I know the hurdles adult learners face—and how to leap over them fast and efficiently.
