This course is fitted individually, depending on the needs of the student.

If the student would like to focus on grammar then the material should be sent beforehand so I can have a chance to look at it and prepare for any questions that may arise.

If the student would like to focus on spelling and/or spoken English then no material should be sent beforehand, just an overview of the request.

If the student would like to focus on reading I'll supply the materials depending on their level.

As for math, I only teach high school students and first year University students. The material for the class should be sent to me beforehand so I can be better prepared to answer any questions.

- Job interviews
- Business English
- Travel English
- Legal English
- General English for everyday life

In a personal learning route you walk on your own level and at your own pace through vocabulary, grammar and especially talking.
No school stuff, but a lot of variety to stimulate your GOESTING for the language and give a boost to your self-confidence.
YES, YOU CAN!
I am a certified language teacher (NL-ENG) with many years of experience in schools, adult education and companies, and consider me a 'language desire architect'.
Together we open doors in a creative way, we bring the world a piece of 'on your doorstep'.
And, who knows, in the near future you will have a (linguistic) lump richer!

English at all levels:

- Speaking
- Writing
- Grammar
- Listening

In the first session, I will assess your level of English and also get an understanding of your interests and hobbies. I will then base the classes on things that you enjoy and find interesting. I found this an effective method when I took private Dutch classes

I believe that language is a powerful tool today. Not only does it help us understand the world from a different perspective, but it also teaches us the culture of the people who use it. I have had the opportunity to work with teenagers for 5 years now as a student associate in a science center, as a mentor and a lecturer in a different field. What I have learned from that experience is that first and foremost one must become a friend with their student, to understand their needs and their attitudes. I will do my best to make the classes fun by combining audio and visual material in my teaching. My field of study is Social and Cultural Anthropology.

Hi everyone,

I am a Belgian student, currently, I'm in my first master's year at the KULeuven. I chose a master's in 'Rehabilitation sciences and physiotherapy specialization musculoskeletal disorders'. During my bachelor years, I developed a very good basic knowledge of science subjects and mathematics: I studied statistics for 3 years, molecular cell biology, chemistry, physics, biomechanics, biochemistry and anatomy.
The quality of teaching of both the University of Leuven as the high school I went to (Heilig Hartcollege Tervuren) is something I am very happy/thankful for. I would love to share the education and the knowledge I acquired by supporting and teaching you or your child/teen. I would consider it as a sort of study pathway counseling. As I already have a bachelor's degree in one of the highest-ranked universities in Europe, I have a broad knowledge of quite some subjects.

I have a lot of experience working with children and teenagers, I have been a leader in a Scout for children aged 12 to 18. I have also been a tutor for 5 years now. I love working with other people as I am a very social, empathic, and motivated person.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have more questions about the topics and fields of study that I can cover, or if you have a special inquiry

I currently live in Belgium. Lessons can be taught in English or Dutch.
I hope to meet you soon and start working on enhancing those performances!

Kind regards,
Natalia

Do you want to improve your English? Need to prepare for an upcoming IELTS or TOEFL test?
I can help you!
My name is Michiel. I was an English teacher in Vietnam for nearly 5 years.
I have a lot of experience working both with kids and adults. I have helped many students get better at English
and improve their grade for an IELTS or TOEFL test.

As a teacher, I try not to talk too much myself. I want to give my students the materials and tools they need to discover the language and the rules themselves.
I want to give my students the opportunity to speak as much as possible during our classes.

After a first lesson, where we'll find out your level and talk about what you want to improve, we will follow a personalized course plan that fits your needs.
Don't hesitate to contact me. See you soon!

This class can also be taught online through Skype or Zoom.

I obtained a BA degree in English Language and Literature, as well as an English MA degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology at KU Leuven. This academic background has laid the foundation for my theoretical knowledge of the English language, especially my reading and writing skills. Additionally, I spent a semester in Dublin in order to improve my 'hands-on' speaking skills. I have a genuine passion for the English language which I hope to pass on to my students.

For my classes, I sit down with students to discuss their needs, and attune my course content accordingly. I try to combine theory with practice to keep the classes interesting and lively. Listening and reading skills are especially important in the learning process as they are essential elements to developing an intuitive sense of a language. Furthermore, I attempt to incorporate audiovisual material in order to keep the course content engaging. I am also always happy to discuss and/or lend English books, graphic novels, podcasts, films, music, YouTube clips etc with/to my students.

ENGLISH BELOW

Do you feel insecure when speaking in front of groups? Do you feel you could have more fun speaking in front of groups? Are you afraid that the content of what you say will be lost?

Many people find it quite difficult to speak in front of groups. You may have heard the advice 'imagine everyone's in their underpants', but it didn't help (or you probably won't be reading this text).
Maybe you don't find public speaking all that difficult or scary, but you think you can get a lot more out of it.

I would like to help you become a better, more relaxed and open speaker. The coaching is completely tailored to your needs and needs, but we work, for example, on preparing, analyzing and/or writing a text, body posture and language, use of voice and empathy.

I was trained as an actress and singer, two subjects that give me a lot of baggage and inspiration when coaching public speaking. I have more than 8 years of experience as a coach and teacher.


///

I specialize in coaching individuals in how to present themselves on stage or before a group. My goal is to focus on your own specific goals and help you develop your skills. Whether you need to speak in public for work or school, or just want to get rid of stage fright before giving that wedding speech, I can help you better yourself and gain confidence!
We work on different levels: analyzing and/or writing text, performing, body language and voice.
I have a strong background in singing and acting and have been working as a teacher, coach and director for over years.

Hi, I'm Sofia, a 19-year-old university student. I grew up attending an international school where I used English daily in both academic and social settings. As a result, I speak English at a native level. Although I do not yet have formal tutoring experience, I'm motivated, patient and passionate about helping children/students improve their English skills. I'm flexible and happy to adapt to the student's needs - whether they want to focus on speaking, reading, listening, writing, or need help with homework. If a student prefers to practice speaking or reading only, that's perfectly fine. Parents and students are welcome to share their goals and preferences. I'm available every day until mid-September. From the end of September onwards, I will be back at university, so I'll mainly be available on weekends. My evening schedule during the week is still unknown, but this can be discussed later on.
