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!

Born in Toulouse in the south of France, I am a director and currently a master's student.
I support you in your learning of French whether you are a beginner or want to improve your skills. My courses are based on varied activities to make learning lively and immersive.
We will read together excerpts from literary texts and newspaper articles, in order to strengthen your written comprehension and enrich your vocabulary. We can also listen to radio shows or watch film excerpts to develop your oral comprehension while discovering French-speaking culture and I would be happy to introduce you to films.
I also favor everyday discussions, expressions...
Passionate about history, art, geography and cooking, I can talk to you about French culture with great pleasure.
The whole point is that this teaching is fun and joyful.

See you soon,

The courses are aimed at high school students, literature students, and adults learning French (FLE). Through courses tailored to their needs, learners will consolidate their French skills, either from a strictly linguistic or literary perspective.

As for the language, we will be able to work on different aspects: grammar, conjugation, syntax rules, written and oral expression.

More experienced learners, in rhetoric and at university, will be able to consolidate their skills in written expression and literary analysis.

It is about progressing realistically and at the learner's own pace, and developing methods that allow for long-term improvement.

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.
