About Me

->Do you sing in a choir and want to improve your vocal skills?
->Do you need a certain way to give your personality a voice, but don't
know how?
->Do you need help preparing for music exams or do you want to study
singing and need someone to help you prepare your piece?

I offer singing lessons in GERMAN, ENGLISH and DUTCH.
-> -> Lessons currently take place in Ghent, Antwerp or Brussels.

The three pillars of my teaching philosophy:
1. Body awareness.
2. Enjoy yourself and your voice.
3. Use your voice in the healthiest way possible!


I am a classically trained voice teacher from Germany and have been singing for years as a concert soloist and in choirs, so I know what it means to come out of a rehearsal with a hoarse voice. We can prevent that.

I believe that everyone can sing and that everyone has musicality within them.

I am excited to get to know you and your voice :)

University graduate in German language and literature (Master of Letters in German with specialization in medieval languages and literature) with a solid experience, gives private German lessons for all levels.
My lessons are adapted according to the needs of the student. They aim to consolidate concepts, fill gaps, prepare for exams (maturity, compulsory school leaving certificates, entrance exams to gymnasiums and universities, Goethe Zertifikat up to B2). Opportunity to learn the language.

For school supports:

This is above all long-term work, which implies on my part taking the time to "learn how to learn" in an effective manner: every exercise is explained in detail, which can make its execution easier. slower. Quality takes priority over quantity in order to obtain optimal results over time.
Students bring their own course materials (notebooks, books, audio CDs, dictionaries, assessments, etc.).
Another important point: in order for my help to be beneficial, it is necessary that the student provides regular personal work between lessons. This essentially involves rereading your notes, repeating exercises similar to those carried out together or even moving forward in learning vocabulary.

For conversation classes:

The topics are based on interests and/or specific needs for exam preparation. I attach particular importance to pronunciation, fluency and vocabulary. I usually correct at the end of a conversation exercise with detailed feedback, in order to avoid any blockages and to work on fluency. Depending on the level of the students and/or their expectations (exam preparations/assessments/desire for improvement for example), I work on the choice of appropriate words, grammatical accuracy, the ability to formulate more or less complex sentences.

For exam preparations:

The courses offer to acquire solid tools to learn to write, to comment on literary texts and a methodology to work on oral comprehension. The student must bring their own exam preparation brochure, available in all bookstores. For Goethe Institute model exams, the exam books from Cornlesen are particularly suitable. The other alternative would be to download and print before the start of the course a copy of the Goethe Institute exam available on the institute's website.

For the oral comprehension:

Work from audio-visual viewings downloaded from the Deutsche Welle site, which offer various recordings adapted to all levels, with a very concrete approach. In the long term, the student acquires ease not only in oral comprehension, but also enriches his basic vocabulary through exercises. I also work on the Goethe Institut oral tests to familiarize myself with speaking.

For the work of the written expression:

I begin by explaining in the first lesson some methodological tools to acquire writing skills. The student has the opportunity to start writing during the course or do a writing exercise on duty and give it to me to correct (send by email or at the beginning of the next lesson). The corrections are explained in detail. In addition, at the time of booking, the student can send me a draft copy before the lesson so that I can meet his needs even more quickly.

Apart from my presence with the student, every lesson involves preparation time before and after the lesson, particularly for the work that I correct. My goal being to design an individualized course, I take the time necessary to write detailed comments on corrected work or advice to ensure maximum success for everyone.
In addition, each student can contact me at any time outside of class by email if necessary.

Feel free to contact me for more information. :)

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.


I look forward to meeting you.

As a researcher and professor specializing in linguistics, I designed this online Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE) course to offer you an interactive and dynamic experience deeply connected with the real use of the language and focused on your professional goals.
This class is designed for students, professionals, freelancers, and anyone looking to enter the Spanish-speaking job market or enhance their profile in international settings. The goal is for you to communicate with Spanish naturally and confidently, boosting your opportunities. Don't worry about your starting point: the content will be tailored to your current level and your specific sector or academic field, allowing you to progress step by step and see concrete results from the very first lesson.
In this course, we'll work remotely, combining video calls with interactive digital tools. What can you expect from this program? Throughout the sessions, we'll use a multimodal approach: we'll articulate strategic conversations with digital tools, explore virtual urban environments, and integrate artificial intelligence models to enhance your technical and sales writing skills.
Among other objectives, I propose the following:
- Master your professional presentation. Learn how to present yourself confidently in virtual or in-person meetings, talk about your career path, and handle spontaneous social conversations or the beginning of video calls with Spanish-speaking colleagues with ease.
- Produce impeccable corporate messages. Learn to write formal emails, proposals, or messages for different teamwork platforms using professional writing techniques.
- Master the specific vocabulary of your work sector. Identify and activate the technical and corporate terms and the appropriate formal/informal register for your specific area of performance (technology, administration, services, marketing, research, among others).
- Perform in mock job interviews. Practice answering common job interview questions in Spanish, improving your fluency, speaking time management, and ability to argue your skills under pressure.
- Understand complex instructions and signage in urban environments. Train your listening and critical reading skills by exploring job websites and urban signage in Spanish-speaking cities using digital tools and maps, interpreting real-world work information.
- Enjoy the language. You will incorporate current vocabulary and idiomatic expressions through authentic content (urban posters, interactive activities and recognized audiovisual productions), so that the process of speaking Spanish is an entertaining and enriching journey for your life.
Interested in learning more? I'll answer all your questions.

As a researcher and professor specializing in linguistics, I designed this online Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE) course to offer you an interactive and dynamic experience deeply connected with the real use of the language and focused on your professional goals.
This class is designed for students, professionals, freelancers, and anyone looking to enter the Spanish-speaking job market or enhance their profile in international settings. The goal is for you to communicate with Spanish naturally and confidently, boosting your opportunities. Don't worry about your starting point: the content will be tailored to your current level and your specific sector or academic field, allowing you to progress step by step and see concrete results from the very first lesson.
In this course, we'll work remotely, combining video calls with interactive digital tools. What can you expect from this program? Throughout the sessions, we'll use a multimodal approach: we'll articulate strategic conversations with digital tools, explore virtual urban environments, and integrate artificial intelligence models to enhance your technical and sales writing skills.
Among other objectives, I propose the following:
- Master your professional presentation. Learn how to present yourself confidently in virtual or in-person meetings, talk about your career path, and handle spontaneous social conversations or the beginning of video calls with Spanish-speaking colleagues with ease.
- Produce impeccable corporate messages. Learn to write formal emails, proposals, or messages for different teamwork platforms using professional writing techniques.
- Master the specific vocabulary of your work sector. Identify and activate the technical and corporate terms and the appropriate formal/informal register for your specific area of performance (technology, administration, services, marketing, research, among others).
- Perform in mock job interviews. Practice answering common job interview questions in Spanish, improving your fluency, speaking time management, and ability to argue your skills under pressure.
- Understand complex instructions and signage in urban environments. Train your listening and critical reading skills by exploring job websites and urban signage in Spanish-speaking cities using digital tools and maps, interpreting real-world work information.
- Enjoy the language. You will incorporate current vocabulary and idiomatic expressions through authentic content (urban posters, interactive activities and recognized audiovisual productions), so that the process of speaking Spanish is an entertaining and enriching journey for your life.
