Personal English support for high school students — from grammar to reading and literature.

Do you find English grammar confusing, or struggle to understand texts and literature at school?

In these tutoring sessions, we'll go through your school material step by step. I explain concepts clearly, answer your questions, and help you practice until everything makes sense.

Together, we'll work on:
– grammar and sentence structure
– reading comprehension and vocabulary
– understanding and analyzing literary texts

My goal is to help you feel more confident, prepared, and motivated — so English becomes a subject you actually enjoy.

Lessons are friendly, encouraging, and fully adapted to your level and learning pace.

About Me
Hello! I’m a passionate language tutor with a background in English and Dutch, and a Master’s degree in Comparative Modern Literature.

For me, language and culture are more than just means of communication — they’re windows into how people think and connect.

I teach adults who want to deepen their knowledge of English or Dutch, refine their understanding of language, or explore literature and culture in more depth. My lessons are calm, personal, and tailored to your interests — whether that’s contemporary fiction, cultural topics, or general language development.

I also offer English tutoring for secondary school students who need extra support with grammar, reading comprehension, or literature.

💬 Lesson options:
– English or Dutch conversation classes
– Literature and culture (English or Dutch)
– Reading comprehension and text analysis
– English tutoring for high school students

Together, we’ll discover what motivates you to learn — because learning works best when it’s truly engaging.
Education
Master’s in Comparative Modern Literature – Ghent University
Bachelor’s in English and Dutch Language & Literature

During my studies, I focused on language, culture, and literature, with an emphasis on modern and contemporary English and Dutch texts.
This academic background allows me to approach language and communication with nuance, depth, and enthusiasm.
Experience / Qualifications
I’m new to private teaching, but I find great joy in sharing my passion for language, literature, and culture.

Thanks to my university background in English and Dutch, I can explain complex linguistic and cultural ideas in a clear and accessible way.

I work closely with each student’s interests and learning pace, creating a relaxed and motivating environment where progress feels natural and enjoyable.

Effortless English Language Learning

is my favourite method of teaching people USEFUL English to help them become confident English speakers fast, without studying or effort.


Here is how you will learn if you choose to take this Course:
During each session:

STEP 1: I ask you "appropriate" questions to what's most important to you in your life.

STEP 2: You reply as good as you can.

STEP 3: I correct your English where necessary, your pronunciation if needed, and help you say what you actually are trying to say (FYI: I have 18 years of experience in teaching English ).

STEP 4: Together we create a script, a piece of text, for your next 1-minute English ListeningExercise.

STEP 5: After the session I professionally record your tailor-made 1-minute English ListeningExercise.

STEP 6: Your task is to listen to that ListeningExercise for 10 minutes every day with headphones.

STEP 7: A week later (or less), you take your next session with me where you show me how well you can say your 1-minute English ListeningExercise from memory and we repeat the process.


It doesn't matter if you have a beginner or mid-intermediate English level, if you follow these steps, then there is no need to focus on English grammar or sentence structure because that will come automatically to you.

That's what I want for you:
to acquire a natural English awareness that is focused and useful to your situation in your life, not mine, so that you can become the confident English speaker you intend to become and USE the English you've learnt on a daily basis.

I'll be there for you as your English language coach and lift you up each time you need it or request it.

So if you are looking for a 5-star teacher to improve your English fast, I AM that guy.
That may sound arrogant but I strongly believe in myself and my teaching methods.
And this is what sets me apart from rest.

And if you also believe I am all of that, and you are committed to learning English and know what you want in life and where you're going, I am sure you'll give it a try.

Life is simple.
