IELTS/EPSO/TOEFL Prep by a Native Speaker and Exam Tutor

From 54 € /h

I am a native English speaker from USA and I specialize in teaching, exam preparation, instruction and text correction for several students and professionals residing in Belgium.

With experience in 4 different cities across Europe and Asia, I take a multidimensional approach to my classes, tutoring and assisting with both Academic and Business English, to ensure that all my students are at ease during the lessons which results in faster improvements and undeniable results. The lessons cover various topics, mainly focusing on comprehension, reading techniques, writing skills, grammar, vocabulary, and day to day conversation along with accent training and basic language skills.

My former clients include students from middle school, high school and college as well as professionals from various occupations. I have worked with them to improve their spoken and written English. I also tutor clients who want to improve their English at an academic level for exams such as the SAT, IELTs, EPSO and TOEFL. These include high school students, college students as well as professionals, ranging from engineers to young interns at the EU parliament. I assist with exam based preparation to achieve the desired results and my clients have not been disappointed so far.

I have further proofread, edited, written and improved a large amount of essays, college applications, theses, personal statements, and assignments for various clients at an academic level.

I like to make my lessons interesting, but at the same time, I make sure that they are as productive as possible. With a thorough understanding and experience of English grammar and literature, I further take care of ghost writing, proof reading and editing of academic and professional papers. Weekly and monthly rates are possible in this case.

I have no issues meeting anywhere in Brussels, or at a location or town close to the city.

I’ve been teaching English since 2021, working with both school students and adults through private lessons and language schools. I studied English-French Translation and Interpreting at Bilkent University, and I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree at Vrije Universiteit Brussel. I also achieved an overall band score of 9 in IELTS Academic.

I offer lessons for students who need extra support with English at school, want to become more confident speaking, or are preparing for exams such as IELTS. Depending on your needs, we can work on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, reading, writing or everyday conversation.

I don’t follow the same lesson plan with every student. I usually begin by understanding what you’re already comfortable with and where you’re struggling. From there, we work at your pace, with explanations, exercises and plenty of opportunities to practise.

For younger students, I can help with homework, school exams and building a stronger foundation in English. For teenagers and adults, lessons can also focus on conversation, academic English, exam preparation or improving communication for work and everyday life.

My aim is to make English easier to understand and, more importantly, easier to actually use.
