Writing on Global Issues - A critical approach to global matters

Van 36 $ /h

This course aims to help participants on three major points that hamper them from producing quality written products: lack of adequate and advanced vocabulary, advanced ideas, and advanced grammar. This course entwines these three points with global economic, political, and environmental issues which also aim to extend students’ general knowledge about global issues, just to name a few, ethics, technology, global supply chain, global warming, food security, business, etc. The basic philosophy behind this study is to help students advance their writing skills by introducing them to new ideas, concepts, advanced grammar structures, and advanced levels of vocabulary in a meaningful context. The course takes its roots in rhetoric, the art of persuasion. The participants are encouraged to approach the issues from broader, analytical, and critical vantage points in order to write impressive pieces. Making a comprehensive analysis of the topics covered in this course is aimed primarily at the participants to reach a comprehensive and strong level of knowledge about the topics they will write about. The rationale behind the course is as follows: in order to write an advanced-level article, having advanced, in-depth, and multidimensional knowledge is imperative. For this reason, the intellectual knowledge of the participants is developed within the scope of this course.

Coaching & Strategic Career Planning - A market-oriented approach

36 $ /h

My goal is to provide enjoyable learning experiences to my students. I strive to provide an environment which cultivates a culture of confidence, mutual respect, promotion of diversity and equal opportunities. I believe that every student learns in a different way. Therefore I practise a learner-centred approach where my students are strongly encouraged to participate actively in their own learning process.

I teach Dutch to children, adapted to the level of the child, the age and the goals that wish to be achieved. The lessons can be given entirely in Dutch, or with explanations and translations in English where necessary (if the child speaks English). With young children I often use cheerful images, games and songs to learn the language in a playful way. From experience, this also works fine online, via video calls.
If you send me a message, we can discuss the options together.

Tambien puedo dar las clases con traducciones en español.

Articles, books, columns, film scripts, press releases, radio spots, reviews, TV scripts and simply copywriting with SEO: most of us have tried to squeeze one or more of these types of writing out of the (virtual) pen. However, it is not always easy to deliver good texts. One person has great ideas, but cannot convert them into ink (digital or otherwise); the other is creative, but makes too many spelling mistakes; and a third kind of person is a language Nazi, but fails to come up with fluent, natural-feeling dialogue. The writing course from offers solace.

This way you can not only learn to act, but also get a taste of our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, physical acting, lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, it remains true: the more you follow one particular course, the faster you progress.

Our writing course

Our course covers all possible texts and can be followed both privately and in a small group. Moreover, we mainly teach you what you are interested in. During our first meeting we will discuss your goals in detail, after which we will focus the entire course on what you exactly want and need. All ages and levels are welcome with us, so we welcome you with open arms even if you have no experience at all or especially need tutoring!

About our coach

To be sure: our head coach is at home in all markets. He wrote his first book, the science fantasy Ice, the Lost Planet, when he was 11. The novel was published three years later, which earned Dirk his city's cultural merit prize and items on almost all national TV and radio stations, as well as articles in every leading newspaper and a large number of magazines. Dirk later also became the very first Flemish author whose books he himself had pinned in English were published by American publishers: Fates Worse than Death: Hunter by Vajra Enterprises and Baour, Strands of Death by BlackWyrm Publishing.

In between Dirk became a journalist. He wrote - or still writes - for 'fanzines', magazines, newspapers and websites such as Zita, Skynet, The Fighting Bard, Mandragon, Dreun, Mindview, Keys & Chords, Bello Magazine, De Zondag, Doorgelicht.be, MetalBorn, BeauSense Magazine, PDF'zines, GameJunks, Rpg.net, the Delta Gids, Cerberus, Cerberus Too, Cerberus Food & Lifestyle, Wellness Insight, Care Insight, Move On, Cult of Cool, Cult of Chic and Cult of Design. Thanks to his wide range of interests, he could go just about anywhere to write passionately about his favorite topics, but there is more.

Dirk wrote hundreds of press releases for PR agency Oskaar and later for his own PR agency, Badass PR - mainly for films, television series, the hospitality industry and various charities. He also provides numerous newsletters and social media for his clients.

Dirk has been a coach since he was twenty – when he was still studying psychology at the KUL – and has written several film and short film scripts as an acting teacher and screenwriter. Numerous radio spots have also rolled out of his brain. The most startling assignment, however, came when Modiphius Entertainment – the largest independent producer and distributor of role-playing games in the world – hired him to write the film script and audio play for Achtung! Cthulhu to write. They were so well received that he is currently reading the complete audio series of Achtung! Cthulhu is finishing. In addition, he is busy working on Iron Sky: The Roleplaying Game, which has been delayed considerably due to the fact that the second film was released much later than expected, production problems, the death of one of the two lead writers and the corona crisis. , but will be released next year at the largest role-playing convention in the world, Gen Con in Indianapolis.

About you

During our writing course, it goes without saying that it is not about us, but about you and your writing! Few things we enjoy as much as watching someone progress and live their passions. That is why we often go a step further after class and continue to support you, whatever texts you want to write!

Nederlands is een mooie taal, alleen niet altijd gemakkelijk om te leren. Twee jaar lang deed ik onderzoek naar hoe een tweede taal nu precies aangeleerd wordt. Wat zijn de hulpmiddelen, valkuilen en vooral... met en gedifferentieerde aanpak.

Daarnaast kan je bij mij ook terecht voor schriftelijke en commerciële aspecten van taal zoals het schrijven van antwoorden op moeilijke vragen, nieuwsbrieven, mailverkeer,... Kortom, voor elke vraag ga ik graag samen met jou op zoek naar een oplossing of antwoord op maat.
