My teaching technique is to consider learning or improving your skills as an enjoyable, engaging challenge! Lessons shouldn't be boring...they should be an hour you look forward to, and then leave the session with improvements and a smile.
I use many different techniques to engage students: conversation, role play, grammar activities, group work if they are the sessions you are looking for.
I try to make sure I know my students well enough to appeal to their passions and aims rather than a 'one size fits all' approach. We are all unique in what we want and how we learn.

About Me

I started my career as a Teaching Assistant for children with educational, mental and physical difficulties before completing my degree and becoming a Teacher of English. As a Secondary Education Teacher, I improved my pedagogy, gained numerous skills and further developed my love of the language. During my time there I became Global Coordinator, a role I relished for its opportunity to travel and widen my knowledge, understanding and appreciation of different cultures.

And so, after 5 years, I moved on, travelled, and yet was unable to stop myself from dabbling in education through private tutoring for people I met who needed guidance or support. This opportunity to get back to the 1:1 contact with a student is what I love most: the personal journey of each of my students. Seeing them grow in confidence and using new skills in their daily life.

Since then I have been a freelance tutor both online and in person. I help adults who are learning English as a second language to develop their skills; I teach young adults who are looking for the final push to complete Abitur exams or create amazing essays for University applications; I teach English students at a school level from 6-18 who need help with grammar or analysis; I work with companies, start-ups and small businesses who want their employees to have a comfortable level of English to best engage with clients or suppliers and each student, regardless of their background, level or need receives bespoke, targeted classes designed to focus on their specific needs.

My approach to teaching is to make sure that my students enjoy their lessons. I want you to come to each session excited and eager to learn something new, and leave feeling like you’ve made progress and had fun whilst doing it.

I, as all young people with a desire to teach, fully expected to walk into a classroom of adoring young people, eagerly looking up at me with the desire to learn and the willingness to follow you wherever you linguistically take them. For the most part, I was wrong. It took me years to understand that no classroom, no pupil, no experience is the same. You can’t come in to teaching expecting it to be all inspirational moments and ‘O Captain, my Captain’, when in fact there are tough hours filled with misunderstandings and apathy, as well as great hours that make you stare into the sky and congratulate yourself on making that small difference for that one pupil.

Over the years, I’ve realised that in order to be a good teacher, you have to first and foremost be a person- as obvious as that may seem.
As much as being a good teacher demands certain skills: good subject knowledge, patience, organisation, a love of the subject itself, there is so much more to it.

You have to care. You have to want to be there. And you have to have more to talk about than grammar and syntax.

My lessons centre around the individual or group of individuals in the session. Who are they? Why are they learning English? What are their passions, goals, fears? And then there’s me. I’m here because I love to teach and share conversation. I’m a person who also has passions, goals and fears. It is always a necessity for me to get to know my students as people and not just a name on a timetable.

Therefore, my lessons follow the same trend. We talk, we practise our vocabulary, we discuss things that matter and we learn as we go. If I can see that there is an area or a grammatical topic that needs work, we spend some time and do some exercises and then we apply them in role play or conversation or imaginative scenarios. You need to learn a set of vocabulary? Great, let’s make it a challenge and if you succeed we think of a fun reward to help you remember.

There is another way to personalise your sessions. How do you learn best? Do you retain information through rote learning: repetition and practice? Or are you a kinaesthetic learner: physical action to promote retention? Everyone is different and everyone learns in their own way. Even in group sessions, there are a hundred ways to learn the same thing- let’s try them.

I have recently discovered a love of teaching adults when most of my previous experience has been children between the ages of 6 and 16. What I think is so exciting about lessons with an older student, is that there is a peer quality to the sessions. You want to learn: I want to teach you. If you need a specific set of vocabulary or communication skills, we can work on that. If you first and foremost want to practice your conversation, great- we probably have things in common!

I don’t think that learning a language, or improving your skills, has to be something you dread or feel like you have to get through. Although ultimately, the goal is to improve your English- which we will- it doesn’t have to be a chore.
Spend an hour with me and see if learning together is something you, or your child, would enjoy.

Hi, I’m Maram! I teach Arabic to students of all ages and levels in Brussels. With 9 years of experience, I’ve worked with children, adults, and university students from diverse backgrounds.

I specialize in both Classic Arabic and Levantine Arabic. Whether you already speak Classic Arabic or don’t speak Arabic at all, you can start learning Levantine Arabic with me! I’ve learned tricks that help you learn faster, and I love sharing them with my students. I speak more than five languages, so I know what it takes to master a new one!

My approach is very interactive and based on what works best for you. I use games, songs, and discussions to make learning feel natural, and I’ll always focus on your personal goals—whether it’s speaking fluently, passing an exam, or mastering the language for a special job.

So, if you’re ready to start, we’ll talk about how you learn best, and we’ll create a plan together that works for you.
And remember, learning Arabic isn’t just about words—it’s about culture, history, and politics. With me, you’ll get the full package!

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.

Bonjour !

Je m’appelle Sarah Grauwels, j’ai 19 ans et je suis actuellement étudiante en deuxième année à l’INSAS (Institut National Supérieur des Arts du Spectacle et des Techniques de Diffusion), à Bruxelles.

Je propose des cours particuliers d’anglais pour enfants et adolescents, adaptés à leur âge, à leur niveau et à leurs besoins.

J’ai toujours eu un lien particulier avec la langue anglaise, notamment grâce à une partie de ma famille qui vit aux États-Unis. J’ai d’ailleurs eu l’occasion d’y vivre en 2024, une expérience qui m’a permis de développer ma pratique de l’anglais au quotidien. En juillet 2026, j’ai également passé un mois en Angleterre, où j’ai vécu au sein d’une famille anglophone et pris soin de leurs quatre enfants, âgés de 1 à 9 ans.

Par ailleurs, j’ai une solide expérience auprès des enfants. De 2022 à 2024, j’ai été animatrice dans un mouvement de scoutisme, où j’ai également fait partie de l’équipe organisatrice. J’encadrais chaque samedi, ainsi que durant les camps de vacances, des groupes d’enfants âgés de 3 à 12 ans.

J’aimerais aujourd’hui mettre ces expériences à profit en proposant un accompagnement personnalisé dans l’apprentissage de l’anglais. Mon objectif est de transmettre cette langue de manière vivante et ludique, à travers la conversation, des jeux, des exercices et des activités adaptées à chaque âge et à chaque niveau.

N’hésitez pas à me contacter pour toute question ou information supplémentaire !

Au plaisir de vous rencontrer,

Paula
