Speak English with Confidence | Conversation, Business English & Job Interviews

From 48 C$ /h

Do you understand English but sometimes struggle to speak confidently?

I’m a native English speaker from South Africa, based in Antwerp, and I offer personalised English lessons for adults who want to become more comfortable speaking English in real situations.

I have previously taught English through Apprentus, and my professional background includes software engineering, Agile/Scrum, podcast hosting, and acting. This means I can also help professionals who need English for international workplaces, meetings, presentations, and job interviews.

Lessons can focus on conversational English, pronunciation and vocabulary, business and workplace English, job interview preparation, English for IT and technology professionals, or grammar when you actually need it.

My approach is relaxed and practical. You don't have to be afraid of making mistakes; we use them to improve. We will adapt each lesson to your level, interests, and goals.

Online lessons are available, as well as lessons in Antwerp.

Send me a message and tell me what you want to improve.

About Me

As an academic I believe that every individual has a right to learn regardless of his/her background and capabilities. The society we live in has different nationalities where difficulties escalate when it comes to communication and cultural differences.

I believe that provided we are able to engage in proper conversations and communicate well with each other; that may result to a good society with full of joy and laughter. We are all creatures of this universe regardless of our skin color. Therefore, let the English language unite us!

I thank you...

Public Speaking & Confident Communication | Articulation, Diction and Presentation Skills

56 C$ /h

Do you know what you want to say but sometimes struggle to express it clearly and confidently?

I offer practical coaching in public speaking, articulation, diction, and confident communication. I have more than 18 years of experience as an actor, and I am also a podcast host, where interviewing guests, listening carefully, and communicating clearly are important parts of what I do.

These sessions are for anyone who wants to become more comfortable and effective when speaking in front of others.

We can work on articulation and clear speech, public speaking confidence, presentations, job interviews, speaking in meetings, storytelling, voice delivery, and preparing for an important speech or conversation.

My approach is practical. Rather than only discussing theory, we will practise speaking together and work on real situations that are relevant to you.

The goal is not to change your personality or accent. It is to help you express yourself clearly, naturally, and with greater confidence.

I currently work as a private language teacher in Belgium and I have a good level of English. As I am not a native speaker, I do not give advanced lessons. People from any age, including kids, can follow my English lessons for levels A1, A2 and B1.

I am a master student at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp. I offer English lessons to students of all ages and experience levels. I have five years of experience teaching English. I was raised in Lincoln, England.

First, we will meet and you will tell me about your interests and goals. Afterwards, I will make up a plan according to your areas of focus and development. This class is conversation-based, but if you are looking to prepare for an exam or learn business English, I am more than happy to help!
In my class, we will use: Spoken dialogue, flashcards, written exercises, listening exercises, and textbooks.

Look forward to hearing from you soon!

Here we learn together from the vocabulary how to speak fluent English and add some grammar so that this learning journey is not stressful, but very joyful. Give yourself the space and time to learn this global and important language and learn to communicate fluently with English speakers despite its dialect, as we will try to deal with more than one dialect together.

In my classes of English, Spanish or Dutch you will be talking immediately thanks to the specific pedagogy I use.

I put you into your learning context and explain grammar 'by experience', using role plays, synonyms and explanations in the target language.

Moreover, you will be using vocabulary straight away and progress significantly in this way.

Specific technical language such as medical, biological, business or other language are possible too and will be agreed upon while we do the intake needs analysis by phone.

After defining your level and setting personal goals, we will find the most suitable learning mediums and decide on the learning trajectory. I will make sure to keep our classes both challenging and fun and provide you with the necessary amount of practice!

I am an experienced and certified mathematics tutor specializing in a range of curriculums, including AS and A-Levels, IGCSE, GCSE, SATs, Edexcel, and the International Baccalaureate (IB). With a proven track record of guiding students to success in these rigorous exams, I understand the unique challenges each curriculum presents. My approach is designed to meet each student's individual needs and learning style, ensuring that they receive the tailored support necessary to excel.

Mathematics can often seem daunting, but my goal is to help students build a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. I believe that a solid foundation in the basics is crucial, and I work to ensure that students grasp fundamental principles before moving on to more complex topics. This method not only boosts their confidence but also prepares them for advanced problem-solving scenarios. I utilize a variety of teaching methods, from visual aids to interactive exercises, to cater to different learning styles and make the subject more relatable.

In my sessions, I focus on developing effective problem-solving strategies. I guide students through step-by-step processes for tackling various types of mathematical problems, helping them to analyze questions critically and approach solutions systematically. This analytical skill is invaluable, not just for exams, but for future academic pursuits and real-world applications. I encourage students to ask questions and engage in discussions, as this fosters a deeper understanding of the material.

I also recognize that exam preparation involves more than just understanding the content; it requires familiarity with the exam format and types of questions they will encounter. I provide targeted practice using past papers and mock exams, which allows students to hone their test-taking skills and time management. This practice is essential for building the resilience and confidence needed to perform well under exam conditions.

Whether you're looking for support with fundamental concepts or advanced topics, I am here to provide clear explanations and structured guidance. My lessons are designed to be engaging and interactive, ensuring that students remain motivated and focused. I believe that learning should be a positive experience, and I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable expressing their concerns and challenges.

Many of my students have achieved outstanding results, including high grades and scholarships, thanks to the tailored support I provide. I take immense pride in their accomplishments, and my dedication to their success is unwavering.

In addition to my expertise in mathematics, I emphasize the importance of a growth mindset. I encourage students to view challenges as opportunities for learning and growth. This perspective not only helps them in their studies but also equips them with resilience that will serve them well in all areas of life.

If you're looking for expert tutoring that delivers outstanding results, I invite you to book a lesson today. Together, we can embark on a journey toward academic excellence in mathematics.

As a young graduate from Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology I am affiliated with all engineering sciences and mathematics. At this university, I have been a mentor and tutor for all freshmen in their first year, assisting with all the necessary basics for a promising academic career. As such, I would like to offer my extensive experience in both the study and as a mentor for anyone from elementary school to higher levels of education in terms of the class material, study guidance, and proofreading of scientific reports. We will work together to find a method that suits you.

Biology, physics, chemistry and French and English. The best study results are achieved with regular study and keeping up with the study material. Lack of sufficient basis for progress can be remedied. Through years of experience I have developed a coaching method in which the pupil, student or coachee as a person is central with an eye for context and specific circumstances.

Whether you're hoping to sharpen your writing, strengthen your English analysis skills, or feel more confident speaking English, you’ve come to the right place.

My lessons are designed to feel more like engaging conversations than formal classes. We’ll dive into everything from writing with clarity and style, to reading between the lines in texts, to expressing yourself with ease and confidence—no pressure, no judgment, just steady growth and great chats.

Think of this as a relaxed space where you can ask questions freely, explore your ideas, and build your English skills at your own pace. I’m here not just to teach, but to listen, encourage, and help you find your voice in English—whether you’re writing an essay, analyzing a poem, or just trying to say what’s on your mind.

All levels are welcome.

I am a doctoral candidate at the University of Antwerp, holding a Cambridge C2 certificate and a TEFL diploma (level 5). I have over three years of teaching experience, gained in Ireland, Italy, and Belgium. My courses are fully customized to meet the needs and objectives of each student.

Rather than presenting grammar as a set of abstract rules, I integrate it into concrete contexts, thus allowing students to understand how the language works. With younger students, I adopt a natural acquisition approach, approaching English in the same way that children naturally learn their mother tongue.
