Improve your Academic Writing and Applications in English

Van 35 € /h

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!

I am a trainer in shelving languages and I also support school. I prefer to use gentle alternative methods, which also give better results. I take into account the psychological side of learning and the need to create a harmonious process of integrating knowledge.

As a freelance translator-interpreter I work daily with German, French, Dutch and English. I am also a language trainer. I provide tailor-made lessons entirely to the wishes of the student! The lessons can take place at me, at you, at work or anywhere else. It is never too late to learn!

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.

Hello, I am in Secondary V and I offer language tuition and support for students in primary and secondary (1-2).
Firstly, I get to know the student and he / she will explain to me his difficulties, his questions, ...
My goal will be to help him throughout the school year with his schoolwork in a pleasant and rewarding way.
I give private lessons in languages (Dutch and English), so if the student has difficulties with one of these languages, I would be ready to help.

I am a Marketing student who can tutor children that are in school to help improve their English in a fun way. I was raised in Hong Kong and Singapore and English has become a language I speak, read and write better than my mother tongue.
My goal is to help kids improve their English in a fun way to keep them interested. Sometimes doing daily activities in English can help a lot more than just learning from a book. I can also help with homework for other courses if necessary.

I adapt to your pace and your way of learning. I can explain things in a very theoretical way or I can work with songs or conversations. I try to make the lessons as lively as possible and in line with your interests.

I have lived in London and the United States. I am very immersed in the English speaking culture. I have used English many times during my professional experiences with English speakers from different parts of the world. I am very interested in languages in general, their grammar, their phonology, their history, etc. I therefore understand well how English is constructed and what the difficulties encountered by a French speaker in his learning.

I have given many private lessons in the past as well as some training for groups of adults. I also made replacements in high school. I adapt easily to all audiences and I always try to explain things as clearly as possible.

Learn English effectively and engagingly – for adults and children

Hello! I call myself Maria, I am 21 years old, and I have more than 5 years of experience in English, Dutch and other areas of economics. You are working on the teaching assistant and exam form, as an assistant to teachers to improve their language skills.

You are specialized in the preparation of high school exams, and you can get more than 9% of most notes on your exams. Because you have learned a lot, the profession or you are simply better in your English, which will promote its effectiveness, commitment and adaptation to your needs.

Why do I choose my course?
Apprentissage immersif – Dès le premier jour, nous pratiquerons des conversations
Personal approach – The adjustments are tailored to your level and your goals
Grammar and vocabulary – Appris de manière naturelle and pratique
Ambiance décontractée & agréable – Pour gagner en confiance en soi

You also speak French (B2) and Chinese (B1/B2), if you have an English language, this is not your mother tongue. My goal is for the learning to be effective and entertaining, allowing you to use English with confidence in everyday life.

If you need help for your exams, your communication professional or simply for the interview conversations, it is your choice for your tutor. Commençons ensemble!

I offer tailored courses, in person or remotely, according to the needs of each student. For academic support, I adapt to the program followed by the child or adolescent, by deepening the concepts already covered, by re-explaining difficult points or by dissecting problematic themes.

For adults, I mainly teach the basics in Dutch, but I can adapt my lessons to different objectives. For example: learning the vocabulary for a new position, preparing for an exam (Selor, language certification), refreshing your knowledge before an interview, or improving your ability to communicate effectively in a professional or personal context. My approach is always flexible, student-centered, and aims to strengthen both understanding and self-confidence.
