Hi, I’m Maram! I teach Arabic to students of all ages and levels in Brussels. With 9 years of experience, I’ve worked with children, adults, and university students from diverse backgrounds.

I specialize in both Classic Arabic and Levantine Arabic. Whether you already speak Classic Arabic or don’t speak Arabic at all, you can start learning Levantine Arabic with me! I’ve learned tricks that help you learn faster, and I love sharing them with my students. I speak more than five languages, so I know what it takes to master a new one!

My approach is very interactive and based on what works best for you. I use games, songs, and discussions to make learning feel natural, and I’ll always focus on your personal goals—whether it’s speaking fluently, passing an exam, or mastering the language for a special job.

So, if you’re ready to start, we’ll talk about how you learn best, and we’ll create a plan together that works for you.
And remember, learning Arabic isn’t just about words—it’s about culture, history, and politics. With me, you’ll get the full package!

Approaching from a true native's perspective, I instruct and assist with both educational and business English in a multi-faceted nature covering a wide range of areas including comprehension, conversation, grammar, and situational skills, in addition to working on general language skills and accent training. As well, I can provide extensive help and training with the EPSO, IELTS, and TOEFL exams.

I am a qualified English teacher from England. I obtained my bachelor's degree in linguistics at Lancaster University (UK) and will soon have my master's degree. I have been teaching English for over 3 years to students who wish to improve their English language skills or become bilingual. All my students are satisfied with my course and those who had entrance exams have passed successfully. There is nothing like having English lessons with a qualified English speaker ;-) I have done all my studies in English and in the United Kingdom, I consider English as being my first language among all the other ones I have learned. Being a "native" speaker for me is meaningless, the qualifications are the most important as well as the experience (you could have a "native" speaker who makes a lot of mistakes because this person is not qualified in teaching).

The price of the lessons is moderate compared to the effectiveness of my courses. I use a variety of methods and can easily adapt to the needs of the student. I offer courses at all levels (beginner, advanced to university level) as well as English courses for IELTS/TOEFL, A-LEVELS or correction of written works.

I have worked with children as well as teenagers and adults. My 3 years of experience as a teacher in England have helped me to develop the qualities necessary to motivate my students and teach them effectively.

I can deliver the lessons online anywhere in the world.

Do not hesitate to contact me to book a lesson, places are quickly taken. If your desired time slot wouldn't be available, I would do my best to adapt myself to your schedule and I would refer you to some of my colleagues. ;-) Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

See you soon!

I have facilitated workshops and given classes throughout my career all over the world.

English pronunciation is essential these days because English is spoken everywhere and all the time.

I followed specialized training such as the verb tonal method, Feldenkrais or mental coaching.

We are therefore going to work in a slightly different way by combining articulatory techniques, movement, rhythm, intonation, warming up of the jaw and tongue, stretching of the neck, neck and shoulders to arrive to very fast results.

I support you in your learning of French whether you are a beginner or want to improve your skills. My courses are based on varied activities to make learning lively and immersive.
We will read together excerpts from literary texts and newspaper articles, in order to strengthen your written comprehension and enrich your vocabulary. We can also listen to radio shows or watch film excerpts to develop your oral comprehension while discovering French-speaking culture and I would be happy to introduce you to films.
I also favor everyday discussions, expressions...

Gain confidence in speaking and writing English through personalized lessons focused on your goals. I offer conversation practice and academic writing support, adapted to your level and needs.

Conversation lessons focus on real exchange:
- discussing topics that interest you
- improving fluency and natural phrasing
- refining pronunciation and vocabulary
- targeted exercises based on your objectives

Academic writing support is based on your own texts (essays, papers, theses, dissertations):
- improving clarity, structure, and coherence
- refining style and tone
- correcting grammar and idiomatic usage
- developing a more professional, natural written voice

Lessons can take place online, in a public space, or at the student’s home in Ghent, Brussels, and nearby areas.

As a native English speaker and a published author with over five years of teaching experience, I offer structured, supportive lessons tailored to each student’s goals. I hold a Master’s degree from the University of California, Berkeley and bring particular attention to pronunciation, written voice and spoken fluency.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a first lesson.

(FR) With a degree in tourism, I have previously worked as a private English tutor for students of all ages. After living abroad and thanks to my certified C1 level, I have been teaching English occasionally for about 6 to 7 years.

My teaching methods are tailored to the student's needs and preferences: I can help you prepare for exams (with specific materials), assist you with your homework, or simply offer conversation exercises. I enjoy teaching by taking into account the student's interests, combining your natural curiosity with learning a new language.

Whether you are a beginner or want to improve your skills, I am here to help you reach the level you need.

(EN) Tourism graduate with previous experience as a private English teacher with students of all ages. After living abroad, and with a certified C1 level, I have been teaching English on and off for the past 6-7 years.

My teaching methods align with the student's needs and preferences: I can help with exam preparations (with dedicated material), school homework help, or just conversational practice. I enjoy teaching with the student's interests in mind, combining your natural curiosity with learning a new language.

Whether you are a total beginner, or someone who wishes to improve, I am here to get you to the level you need.

I’ve been teaching English since 2021, working with both school students and adults through private lessons and language schools. I studied English-French Translation and Interpreting at Bilkent University, and I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree at Vrije Universiteit Brussel. I also achieved an overall band score of 9 in IELTS Academic.

I offer lessons for students who need extra support with English at school, want to become more confident speaking, or are preparing for exams such as IELTS. Depending on your needs, we can work on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, reading, writing or everyday conversation.

I don’t follow the same lesson plan with every student. I usually begin by understanding what you’re already comfortable with and where you’re struggling. From there, we work at your pace, with explanations, exercises and plenty of opportunities to practise.

For younger students, I can help with homework, school exams and building a stronger foundation in English. For teenagers and adults, lessons can also focus on conversation, academic English, exam preparation or improving communication for work and everyday life.

My aim is to make English easier to understand and, more importantly, easier to actually use.
