In a personal learning route you walk on your own level and at your own pace through vocabulary, grammar and especially talking.
No school stuff, but a lot of variety to stimulate your GOESTING for the language and give a boost to your self-confidence.
YES, YOU CAN!
I am a certified language teacher (NL-ENG) with many years of experience in schools, adult education and companies, and consider me a 'language desire architect'.
Together we open doors in a creative way, we bring the world a piece of 'on your doorstep'.
And, who knows, in the near future you will have a (linguistic) lump richer!

- What do the lessons entail?
The tutoring focuses on mathematics in secondary education. I help students understand both the theory and its practical application in exercises. If necessary, I provide additional study materials, such as diagrams, summaries, or resources, to clarify the material.

- My approach
I would appreciate receiving an overview of the study material, tests, or assignments in advance that present difficulties. This allows me to properly prepare the lessons and focus on the student's specific needs. This also allows me to better assess the level.

During tutoring, I try to explain the material in a simple and understandable way, often from a different perspective than in the classroom. My goal is for the student to truly understand the material and gain more confidence. Seeing progress and achieving results together gives me great satisfaction.

- Why do I tutor?
Mathematics has always been a great passion of mine. Although my current studies no longer revolve around it, I still enjoy pursuing it. Tutoring is therefore an ideal combination of hobby and extra income for me. Naturally, I always work in a professional and structured manner.

- Experience
Since 2018, I've been tutoring students of various ages, both in primary and secondary education. I also regularly help fellow students with their learning material, which is always a positive experience.

- Who am I?
My name is Arina, I'm 26 years old and I study law. I live and study in Leuven, where I also live in student housing.

I'm an approachable, enthusiastic, and open person. This helps me quickly build trust, so students feel comfortable and confident asking questions. They know they can contact me outside of tutoring sessions if they get stuck on an exercise, and they often continue to do so afterward.

During my own high school years, I struggled with math in my first and second grades. Although I found the subject interesting, I struggled to fully grasp the material because the explanations didn't align with my learning style.

When I started tutoring (at my parents' insistence), my perspective on mathematics completely changed. My interest grew so strongly that I later pursued a degree in economics and mathematics. My love for mathematics has remained ever since.

Because math wasn't a part of my further studies, I decided to tutor myself. This way, I can share my enthusiasm and help students develop the confidence I once had to build.

Mathematics and science subjects can weigh heavily on your study career during secondary education. It is therefore important to perform well on this. This can be a challenge for many students, especially in the third grade. In my lesson I try to explain the subject matter to students based on their own course, my old course and extra exercises. The ultimate goal is that the students gain a better understanding of their course.

Classes are in English or Spanish.

I offer tutoring in chemistry, physics and mathematics to highschool students. As a person used to studying, doing exercises and not being the best in my class, I know that hard work is the path to do well in class. I firmly believe anyone can pass any exam, no matter how hard it is the course. With the appropriate attitude and mindset, no exercise is too complicated. Its just a matter of patience and perseverance.
I am patient and I will taggle the students most challenging topics, as well as being flexible to their proposals.

If you are interested, please send me a message and I will explain more details.

Good luck with your studies!!!

Over the past years I’ve tutored students in math, chemistry, and physics—from middle school to university level—always focusing on making complex topics clear and approachable.

My lessons are practical, engaging, and adapted to your learning style. Whether you’re preparing for exams, catching up on difficult concepts, or aiming to strengthen your problem-solving skills, I’ll guide you step by step with patience and clarity. I believe learning science should feel less like memorizing and more like discovering how the world works!

Classes can be held online or in person in Leuven. I provide personalized explanations, practice problems, and tips to build both knowledge and confidence :)

Math is a difficult subject that usually builds upon previous years and gets harder. It’s important that kids grasp the basics well first. As a person who used to struggle, i would love to help and get kids comfortable with the basics of maths.

I am a native Mandarin Chinese speaker, born in Gansu Province, China, and I completed my secondary education in Sichuan. Growing up in different regions of China gave me a rich cultural background and a broad understanding of everyday Chinese life and language.

Later, I moved to Belgium to study at university in Dutch, and today I work as a mechanical engineer. I am also a father of two children. Living abroad and learning new languages myself has helped me understand how challenging — but also how fun — language learning can be.

I prefer to teach Chinese in a relaxed and enjoyable way. My lessons feel more like natural conversations than formal classes. We can talk about daily life, culture, travel, food, family, or any topic that interests you. I believe that language grows best in a comfortable and friendly environment.

Whether you are a complete beginner or already have some foundation, we can move at your own pace without pressure.

You are welcome if you:

Simply want to speak Chinese more confidently

Are curious about Chinese culture

Plan to travel to China

Want conversational practice

Or just enjoy learning languages in a relaxed atmosphere

Learning Chinese doesn’t have to be stressful — it can be interesting, warm, and fun.

I look forward to meeting you and having meaningful conversations together!
