English language teaching, study methods for social sciences

From 75.84 C$ /h

I have been a second language teacher for 5 years. I can also help prepare for test or exams by showing the student some effective and easy study methods for social sciences and language. I like working with children of all school going ages and am a strict tutor: I assign homework after each lesson but focus especially on keeping the student motivated and positive about learning.

I am a native American English speaking instructor, editor, journalist, and legal/policy expert from Florida specializing in instruction, interview and exam prep, consulting and text correction for a wide range of professionals & students across Belgium including in the legal, academic, policy, and other fields.

My past & present clients have included: professionals and politicians from all four major EU institutions, the Belgian government, the UNHCR, and various NGOs, alongside diplomats, doctors, journalists, and engineers, as well as a variety of other professions in addition to traditional students..I have had over 50+ repeat students on Apprentus (which recently changed their algorithm to only display the last six months).

Approaching from a true native's perspective, I instruct and assist with both educational and business English in a multi-faceted nature covering a wide range of areas including comprehension, conversation, grammar, and situational skills, in addition to working on general language skills and accent training. As well, I can provide extensive help and training with the EPSO, IELTS, and TOEFL exams.

I have also written, edited or proofread a variety of academic papers, theses, applications, CVs, and other documents for numerous satisfied academic and professional clients.

I have spent my entire childhood and adult life in the United States before completing a master's degree in Political Science and European Politics at KU Leuven. Additionally, I also possess Bachelor's degrees in Political Science and History. I have an extensive knowledge and experience of English grammar and literature, as well as current and past working experience in journalism (Anti-Competition Law and European Policy at the Policy and Regulatory Report) and both European and American politics.

I also handle correction of text, editing, proofreading and ghostwriting, with weekly and monthly rates possible. My transportation costs are included.

I have facilitated workshops and given classes throughout my career all over the world.

English pronunciation is essential these days because English is spoken everywhere and all the time.

I followed specialized training such as the verb tonal method, Feldenkrais or mental coaching.

We are therefore going to work in a slightly different way by combining articulatory techniques, movement, rhythm, intonation, warming up of the jaw and tongue, stretching of the neck, neck and shoulders to arrive to very fast results.

Since I believe that the learning environment is one of the keys to successful language learning, I endeavor to make students feel comfortable and content in my lessons: to ask questions if they are unsure and keep an easy but rewarding pace of learning.

Depending on how my students feel they learn English most effectively, I adapt my lessons to use materials that give them the best results possible. For instance, some students find the continuity of a coursebook effective, while others prefer to be more flexible with articles and podcasts. I know from experience that every student is unique.

In the case of tutoring, I base my lessons on the subject seen by the student by explaining to him in another way with many examples and by making him practice as much as possible.

In case of learning the basics, I have set up my own totally interactive method so that the student can practice and during which I speak almost only in English to be close to immersion during the lessons.

Do not hesitate to contact me for:
- learn the basics
- prepare for a test
- have support for your lessons
- practice the language
- ...

Whatever your needs, I take a practical and fun approach to English because, in my opinion, it is the best way to learn.

We will concentrate on the basics at the beginning until you are confident enough to learn some typical expressions. Grammar is the only difficult part, however I'll make sure you have fun in learning. I believe in creating a dinamic lesson and I'll add some curiosities about the culture. I can teach you hand gestures, too!

Specialized in teaching French and English, I offer general academic support for regular homework, preparation for the central jury or university admission exams.
I will adapt my way of working and my teaching methods according to my student and what he wants to improve: oral or written expression, grammar, reading and analysis of books (themes, characters), writing summaries of texts or arguments on subjects often given in the Central Jury exams or university admission exams.
I have experience working with teenagers and young adults, and my teaching also includes coaching. I am willing to travel to my student's home, and they are also welcome to visit me at my home (Uccle).

Throughout my school career, I have acquired a rigorous working method and a real ability to adapt to different levels and subjects. I myself have benefited from good academic support, and today I would like to pass on these keys to success to students who need them.

What I propose

Homework help/Academic support for primary, middle/high school and higher education students (in my field of study).

Academic support in various subjects: French, mathematics, history-geography, languages (French, English, Spanish), as needed.

Organization and work methodology: learn to plan, summarize effectively, and revise methodically.

Regarding the course structure, the goal is to adapt to the student and their needs. It is entirely possible to:

-help the student with his homework by providing educational support
- review lessons for a test/exam
- explore a concept seen in class in more depth
- work on a working/learning methodology

Of course, this can also be defined by the time of the school year (holidays, approaching exams, etc.)

My English classes are tailored to each student's level, goals, and learning pace, whether they are a young learner building foundational skills, a teenager preparing for exams, or an adult looking to improve their professional or conversational English. Having lived and studied in England for over 10 years and completed my entire university education in English, I bring an authentic and natural understanding of the language, far beyond what textbooks alone can offer.

Each session typically begins with a review of previous difficulties, followed by targeted explanations and interactive practice, including conversation, grammar exercises, writing tasks, or exam preparation, depending on the student's needs. I place particular emphasis on spoken fluency and confidence, helping students develop the ability to express themselves naturally and accurately in real-life situations.

My approach is patient, structured, and encouraging. I adapt my teaching style to suit each individual, ensuring that every student feels supported and motivated to progress. Classes are available in person in Brussels or online, making them accessible and flexible to fit any schedule.

I offer structured, one-on-one tutoring in physics and mathematics for secondary and university students. Sessions are in English or Spanish, depending on your preference.

What I cover:

-Physics — IB SL/HL, A-Level, IGCSE, Belgian/French secondary, first and second-year university (mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, waves, modern physics)
-Mathematics — IB SL/HL (Analysis & Approaches), A-Level, IGCSE, calculus, linear algebra, STEM entrance preparation

How sessions work:

-The first session is diagnostic — we identify the actual gaps, set a plan, and decide whether we're a good fit. After that, sessions combine conceptual work, problem-solving, and past-paper practice depending on what's coming up.
I give specific, honest feedback after each session. For younger students, I'm happy to share a short written summary with parents.

Format: Online via video, or at the student's home within Brussels Region.
