ESL. English Tutoring. Speak and write like a native speaker.

From 21 C$ /h

Hello,
I am an American Student currently studying International Affairs in Brussels. While in high school I partook in a program in which I taught local German children learn English. English was one of my best subjects while in high school and my skills have only gotten better since. My goal is to teach my students English the way the would hear and see it if they were in the United States. Personally I feel this approach is the best seeing as this is how I learned German and how I am learning French and Dutch. I could help with English assignments and or create lessons on a range of topics.

About Me

I am an American student currently living and studying in Brussels. I have lived in Europe for six years going on seven now. The first four years I was living in Europe I learned German. During the learning process I found myself wishing there was a tutor that spoke everyday German and not just "book" German. I found that I learned best when faced with scenarios in which I had to speak the language. My goal is to teach English in a way that sounds natural as well as clean.

My language lessons are always tailored to the student. I provide interaction, the pupil will be encouraged from the start to experiment with the Dutch language, always within the pupil's own perception of the world, so that what is learned is placed in a personal context and automatically supplemented with elements that are specific to the pupil.
I have a number of fine methodologies at my disposal, but I also work with ease with material that the pupil has brought from school or from home, or else will select material to measure.
I have been teaching Dutch as a second language for 20 years and have a master's degree in education with a specialization in learning disabilities.

The best way to learn a language is to practice it, listen to it and read it! This is why, as far as possible, the lessons will be given IN English, in order to train both your ear and to push you to answer/think in English.

A large part of the learning will go through the oral practice of the language: you will be invited to express yourself on various subjects that interest you.

Depending on your interests, we can practice English through different activities: cooking, music, cinema, etc.

Do not hesitate to call on me, if your objective is:
- To acquire a more fluent English / to converse
- Work on your pronunciation/accent
- To rework a written text / train your written expression
- To learn the basics of the language (grammar, spelling, etc.)

I am used to working with children and can adapt to all audiences.
I also offer lessons for the little ones, for a fun initiation with games and small activities (cooking, crafts, walks, drawing, etc.).
I can also address an adult audience seeking to acquire fluent English, a developed vocabulary, and ease in specific contexts.

I will adapt my way of working and my teaching methods according to my student and what he wants to improve: oral or written expression, grammar, reading and analysis of books (themes, characters), writing summaries of texts or arguments on subjects often given in the Central Jury exams or university admission exams.
I have experience working with teenagers and young adults, and my teaching also includes coaching. I am willing to travel to my student's home, and they are also welcome to visit me at my home (Uccle).

I am a creative, patient and adaptive primary teacher with 8 years of experience. I began teaching as a university student, volunteering in a local primary school, and fell in love with helping students feel passionate and engaged in their learning. I began my teacher training in 2017 with the Teach First programme, teaching near London. In 2019 I moved to Italy and taught there for 6 years, honing my skills in developing confident learners with a great understanding of English. Last year, I moved to Belgium to join my partner and have begun life as a tutor!

What I love most about tutoring is being able to target each lesson to the child, slowly building their confidence and focusing on the areas they need most support, helping them to feel confidence in their learning. I build their interests and strengths into each lesson so they feel engaged and supported. I have a wealth of experience supporting students with a range of SEND needs as well as English as an Additional Language.

As a computer science student at the Free University of Brussels and holding a degree in animation, I offer private math and science lessons for primary and secondary school students.
I worked as a tutor for students preparing for the vocational CESS science exam before the Central Examining Board for the municipality of Anderlecht. I prepared and delivered lessons to help candidates understand the material and prepare effectively for the exam.
I also completed internships as a kindergarten teacher and a physical education teacher in secondary school. These experiences taught me how to supervise children and teenagers, how to design appropriate lessons, and how to explain the same concept in different ways.
My approach is based on understanding, practice, and confidence. I begin by identifying the student's difficulties, then we review the necessary fundamentals before progressing through tailored exercises. The student is encouraged to explain their reasoning in order to learn to detect and correct their own errors.
I also use artificial intelligence tools to prepare, when relevant, customized diagrams, illustrations, and visualizations. These resources make certain mathematical or scientific concepts more concrete and easier to visualize. AI here serves as a pedagogical preparation tool: explanations, guidance, and content verification remain entirely my responsibility.
The sessions can be used to:
- to understand or review a chapter;
- solving exercises;
- to prepare for a quiz, an exam;
- correct a previous assessment;
- to make up for lost time;
- to develop a more efficient working method.
I can teach in French, Spanish, or Arabic. I also have a very good level of English.
