You will learn English proper, but also the lexical variations used in different English-speaking countries. You will discover the historical and socio-cultural influences on the language depending on the country of use. Whatever your level, these courses will be tailored to your specific needs, enabling you to practice English in a structured, comprehensive, fluent, and meaningful way. I use a differentiated approach with active and reflective teaching methods so that you are an active participant in your learning and find it enjoyable.
Extra information
Bring your own learning materials according to your level. For example: notebook, pencil case, required textbooks from school or work, etc. You will have the opportunity to create learning materials as part of the course if you wish.

About Me
English Language Coaching: From First Steps to Professional Mastery

I am a Belgian-American native speaker, born in the United States, with a career in the Belgian education system spanning since 1995. After 15 years of providing private tutoring for secondary, higher education, and professional levels, I transitioned into English immersion teaching in 2011. My experience covers everything from early childhood (nursery and primary) to specialized adult coaching.

Starting this year, I have transitioned to part-time at my current school to dedicate more time to helping children, young adults, and professionals master the English language. My goal is to provide a structured approach that fosters both motivation and the joy of learning.

My Specialized Programs

* Nursery (Early Years): A playful immersion using games, songs, daily rituals, role-playing, and an introduction to the rhythms and sounds of pre-reading.
* Primary School: An active, reflective, and differentiated pedagogy focusing on high-frequency words, visual and auditory phoneme discrimination, CVC words, digraphs, trigraphs, oral expression, and written production.
* Secondary & Higher Education: Tailored remedial support with a strong emphasis on listening and speaking skills. I use a "total physical response" (gestural and bodily) method combined with real-life situational practice.
* The Workplace: Coaching designed around the specific vocabulary and requirements of your professional environment.
* Leisure & Lifestyle: Conversation tables focused on practical themes such as travel, cooking, hobbies, and social interaction.
Education
* High School Diploma – United States (1983).
* Associate Degree in Tourism – United States (1984).
* Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work – Belgium (1998).
* Teaching Certification – Belgium (2011).
Experience / Qualifications
* 10 years of English Immersion (Early Childhood): Registered Childcare Provider (ONE) for infants and toddlers (ages 3 months to 3 years).
* 15 years of Remedial English Tutoring:** Specialized support for secondary school, higher education, and professional workplace environments.
* 15 years of English Immersion (Primary Education): Lead teacher for elementary-level immersion programs.
* 10 years of English Immersion (Nursery/Preschool): Specialized instructor for early childhood language acquisition.

Having graduated with a master's degree in modern languages and literature, I have been a primary school English teacher, an extracurricular activities leader and an educational coordinator for 8 years.
In my free time, I offer English lessons to kindergarten, primary and secondary school students, or to anyone wishing to learn or reconnect with this language.
I also offer French as a Foreign Language (FLE) courses if needed (I have several years of experience teaching FLE to adults in a professional context).
For students, I can of course adapt the sessions based on the material covered in class, while offering a more engaging approach and materials. The first hour of the lesson therefore consists mainly of an initial meeting and an assessment of the learner's prior knowledge and objectives, as well as the more specific skills to be developed.

I offer private French lessons for all students, from primary to higher education. I can travel by car within a 10km radius of my home (to be discussed), to the student's home, or provide lessons via webcam.

Teaching is my passion, and my years of experience, along with the private lessons I give, only confirm to me day after day that this is the profession for me. I have been teaching since 2019, and my practical experience and private lessons allow me to adapt to all learning styles.

I graduated in French-CPC in 2019 but I also obtained a Master's degree in Educational Sciences in 2023. These two degrees give me the qualifications required to teach French as well as methodology.

I do not have a degree in English, but I have noticed over the years that difficulties in French affect the learning of a second language... I therefore make available to my students my level of English acquired over years of practice with native speakers.

They say that I am patient, perfectionist, methodical and caring. Due to my organized nature, I also help students to discover the work method that suits them, because each has a different mode of operation that is just waiting to be discovered.

If you are interested in my profile, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to collaborating with you!

Language is such a powerful tool in your everyday life. Dutch and English are my speciality. I would recommend immersing your children in different languages from an early age. It will be so much easier for them to pick up and use later on in their life. I have taught for many years as a nursery teacher for children from different backgrounds and now I am a ESL teacher. As a mother of 2 trilingual children, I have the ability to adjust to your child's speed of learning and adjusting my lesson plan to their needs and focus span. Interactive learning during playing is the best way to teach young children and toddlers.

I have a degree in Modern Languages (English / Spanish)
Above all, it is essential to personalize the course according to the person who seeks to learn, according to his age, his course, his interests and his expectations towards the course itself. I favor the active method, and oral work, but also with a great interest in Art in general, ranging from pop culture to contemporary creation.
