    English for Everyone: Improve your English with a personalized plan

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    Dutch version below

    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.

    My name is Michiel. I was an English teacher in Vietnam for 5 years.
    I have a lot of experience working with both children and adults. I have helped many students improve their English or boost their IELTS or TOEFL test results.

    As a teacher, I try not to speak too much. I give my students the materials and tools they need to discover the language and the rules for themselves. I want to give my students the opportunity to speak as much as possible during class.
    Thanks to my experience with many different levels and ages (from a 3-year-old beginner to a 55-year-old engineer), I know exactly how to choose the right activity for your needs and learning style.

    After an initial lesson, in which we determine your level and discuss what you want to improve, we follow a personalized course plan that suits your needs.
    Don't hesitate to contact me. Bye!

    English For Children (Qualified British Tutor in Brussels)
    I run private English classes for individuals and siblings. The sessions are designed for beginners and elementary students and are packed with active games, focused activities and stories - all in English. I use reward charts and positive reinforcement to keep students motivated, and use lots of images, hand gestures and expression to help them learn as quickly as possible. The classes are designed for 4 - 7 year olds with a basic understanding / no understanding of English. They can be adapted for older students. I am a British native speaker with an English teaching qualification (CELTA - Pass A: highest grade) from International House London and a BA (Hons) Performing Arts degree (First class: highest grade) from Bath Spa University in England. I have been helping students learn English since 2012, including spending a year teaching English through theatre and creative activities in Beijing.

    Economics (Secondary to University levels) and English (Primary level) Tutoring
    Economics classes for University level students will be based on student's needs (some suggestions: Econometrics, Microeconomics, Quantitative Economics). For school students, it can involve advanced learning or basic Economic knowledge (aligned to student's needs). English classes will involve writing and speaking practice (based on the student's existing knowledge). I tend to explain things pretty well. I always try to assign homework for further practice. Times can be discussed with me and I do accommodate students based on mutual availability.

    English tutor: as a preparation for exams or just to learn
    Ik heb een masterdiploma in de talen en studeer ook voor leerkracht. De les kan in samenspraak opgebouwd worden. Het is mogelijk in deze les te focussen op Engels spreken in plaats van schrijven, zodat je snel een vlotte taalstudent wordt. Ook kunnen we verder focussen op een meer schoolgerichte aanpak als je je bijvoorbeeld wil voorbereiden op examens.

    Waseem Athtar
    Academic and Colloquial English for All Levels and Admission Tests
    As the official Faculty Proofreader for the Institute of Philosophy at the KU Leuven, I have developed a deep understanding of the common struggles both professors and the wider student body face with respect to academic writing. Whether it be formal and linguistic errors or stylistic, structural, and argumentative issues, I gathered practical tools students can systematically employ to improve their academic writing—skills which coincide with the demands of a tutoring job. I’ve designed this course as the ultimate guide to academic writing, but that’s not it. Given my experience in debate clubs in Leuven, Brussels, and Munich, as well as in hosting highly successful discussion groups with students of all stripes, I can also teach you how to deliver fantastic presentations and get your point across in the most articulate manner. As a polyglot, I can give you examples in Arabic, Farsi, Urdu/Hindi, Punjabi, and German, so if you speak any of these languages, I’ll make sure you have an easier time learning English with me. With this course, I can teach a beginner how to speak English fluently but also creatively, I can teach an intermediate speaker how to take their language skills to the next level, and I can help an advanced English speaker sharpen their presentation skills and academic writing.

    Berta Bellsolà
    Teacher specialized in the linguistic area (Catalan, Spanish and English)
    During the course with me you will have the opportunity to learn this new language in an entertaining and motivating way. We are going to work both the field of reading, writing, pronunciation and comprehension together. I offer diverse and dynamic activities where I prioritize the participation of the student and the conversation between us. Being a native I can offer you the most concrete learning of verbiage in Spanish or Catalan and work on phonetics. I also offer English classes since I have the C1 English certificate (Cambridge School) and I have been in an English academy (Fun English School) during a course teaching English to children between 3 and 18 years old.
