From 79.95 C$ /h

Hello! My name is Michelle and I am English, born in London. I have been teaching English for 12 years.

Before lessons begin, you will receive a short questionnaire to determine your level, needs, and interests. This serves as the basis for our program and ensures that it is fully personalized. In addition, you can always let me know if you have any other specific needs you would like to work on during the lesson (reports, presentations, holidays in an English-speaking country, etc.).

We will have regular review sessions during the lessons, and I will ask you to do some homework at home, according to your schedule. I adapt my lessons to your specific needs, while taking into account the key skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, and pronunciation). Regarding pronunciation, I can also teach the phonetic alphabet. In addition to Business English, I offer a proofreading and editing service for texts and reports.

The courses are yours, and the goal is for them to be educational, interesting, motivating, and for you to see that you are making progress.

I am friendly, empathetic and patient, and I can provide you with solid and above all authentic recommendations from my current as well as past students.

Feel free to contact me for more information.

Hope to meet you !

I have lived in Brussels for 20 years, and I have a degree in 'Teaching English to Adults as a Second Language' (Cambridge CELTA since 2013). I speak fluent French and some Dutch (A2).

I teach general English, business English, and pronunciation. I can also guide you through your resume, interviews, and proofreading English documents. I also teach half-hour conversation classes.

Need a boost in languages? I am at your disposal for private lessons in Dutch and English.
I was a scientific research assistant (in England and VUB) at the university for 10 years. Having lived abroad, I have good knowledge of languages and I have a certificate of educational aptitude. I propose an individualized pedagogy, a help with the preparation of interrogations or exams. My goal is to advance the student without overloading him and give him tools to improve his methodology.

I offer my services as a teacher
particular for homework help as well as for French,
Dutch and English.

French being my mother tongue, I have no trouble helping
people with shortcomings in this area. Furthermore,
i love reading so i always try to maintain a
correct vocabulary and my grammar rules.

Concerning English I am of a level C1 + according to the frame
common European reference point for languages. My grammar,
my conjugation and my vocabulary are therefore of a very good
level. English is a language that I maintain a lot thanks
to my correspondents but also through the films, books,
music ...

Finally, for Dutch, I am B2 (still according to the
framework) and my grammar and conjugation bases are
solid. I can easily help people of a level
beginner in learning this language. It is also a
language that I maintain through book or programs but
also thanks to some bilingual knowledge in my
entourage.

Also, patient and loving nature to teach, I can also
be a help for homework or primary level work or
secondary.

Finally, I am very available because I will reorient myself in my
studies which gives me more free time to give
course. I can move home with no problem no matter
the distance while respecting punctuality.

I offer my services to help your children achieve their academic goals, whether it is for the little ones who are discovering reading and writing, or for teenagers in the middle of preparing for exams. I also have experience with university students who needed a helping hand in certain subjects.
Patient and attentive, I adapt to the specific needs of each student, offering them personalized support to help them progress at their own pace and with confidence.
In terms of education, I followed a Preparatory Class for the Grandes Écoles in France (literature, philosophy, history, geography and languages), and obtained a bachelor's degree in English Language, Literature and Civilization. I then continued with a master's degree in British and American translation and civilization. I had the chance to work for two years at the Lycée Français Jean Monnet in Brussels, where I acquired solid experience with students of all ages and a good understanding of the expectations of the school system.
I would be happy to discuss this with you and see how I can contribute to its success.

I offer English lessons focused on reading, writing, and speaking skills, immersion in the culture and history of the language and English-speaking peoples, and I use methods tailored to each student to ensure the fastest and most lasting progress. To achieve this, I utilize a variety of resources: traditional exercises (grammar, spelling), oral and audio exercises for pronunciation and comprehension, music and games, educational videos, and more.
I place great importance on writing by hand and not just typing on a computer, as well as on non-traditional learning methods (films, music with lyrics, games) because this engages different parts of the brain more deeply and makes it easier to learn and retain information.
I guarantee personalized learning methods and support for each student, as well as a significant improvement in level in less time than it takes via traditional platforms.
