Learning the English language and Anglophone cultures

From 43 C$ /h

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.
