English Tutoring for Comfort at Work and to Pass Exams

Von 56.57 Fr /Std

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.

I have 15 years' experience teaching various subjects (languages, presentation, reporting, interview and report writing skills, statistics, geography...).

I have been tutoring since the age of 14, when I tutored students in lower grades to pass their remedial exams. Later, I held various teaching posts at two universities. In 2012, after an interlude of 20 years in the research and business worlds, I became a freelance offering English language services. I now teach, edit, and translate both for private clients (e.g., MEPs, CEOs, EU interpreters, and administrators) and for language schools, whose clients include the EU institutions, Belgian government departments and companies listed on the stock market.
