About Me

After graduating from Portland State University (Portland, OR, USA) with a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics in March of 2018 I will now be working on an M.Sc. in Ecology.

I have experience both with private tutoring and with teaching large groups of students. For the last three years I have taught and tutored everything from introductory secondary school mathematics to University level calculus and Ordinary Differential Equations.

Being an older graduate student myself, my approach to teaching is unique and I often find ways of communicating well with student's that don't necessarily enjoy doing mathematics or science.

I can make Math, Physics and the rest of science fun again! Not to mention I am open to working with students regarding English (and the speaking or writing or English).

Mathematics, Physics & Science tutoring for everyone!

68.29 C$ /h

I graduated from Portland State University with a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics before coming to KU Leuven to work on my Master's Degree (and eventually PhD) in Astronomy.

I have tutored and taught mathematics up through ordinary differential equations but also at younger levels (like secondary or high school level mathematics). I've been tutoring/teaching for almost 3 years now and have worked with clients ranging from the University level to early secondary school work.

I have a unique approach to mathematics and physics that allows me to work well with students who don't necessarily find mathematics and science enjoyable. My goal is to show everyone that mathematics and physics is doable for all!

*Unfortunately I do not yet speak Dutch well enough to tutor thus I only tutor in English*

I was a professional writer/blogger for 5 years in addition to currently being a graduate student in a natural science so my technical writing and grammar skills are well polished. I can assist in all sorts of areas - speaking, writing, reading, proofreading etc.

I am an associate teacher and I offer private tutoring lessons in French, at secondary level, at lower and higher levels. In particular, I master the preparation methods for the French baccalaureate.

Passionate about literature and languages in general, I taught French for four years. I have worked in the Belgian public and private school systems as well as in a prestigious private French high school (MLF - OSUI). Of a tolerant and open nature, I teach with respect for the plurality of opinions and the diversity of approaches. My successive experiences in secondary education, in Belgium then in Morocco, have taught me enormously about the need to adapt my teaching strategies to varied audiences, taking into account the particularities of each one.

So, whether it is a question of strengthening certain bases or additional support aimed at approaching the subject in another, more transversal way, in order to overcome certain obstacles, do not hesitate to contact me to find the formula that would suit you!

Hello! I'm a native speaker with 10 years of experience in teaching English as a Second Language and Business English. I also offer proof-reading of essays, dissertations and business documents.

My speciality is particularly with Europeans who are attempting to improve their level for commercial, educational or career reasons.

A little about me: I'm Irish and recently moved back to Brussels - with my partner Filipa from Dublin and we are based in Uccle.

I'm looking forward to meeting new students and can meet either in person in Brussels e.g. at ULB (University Libre de Bruxelles), or in the comfort of your home - to be discussed. As a backup online through Zoom, but much prefer in-person, as it achieves better results.

Thanks and hope to hear from you soon. Kevin

Improve your skills to better manage your written communication: your objectives in terms of written communication may be diverse and the objective of these sessions is precisely to support you in better achieving them. So, how can we send a clear message, be impactful, create a difference and make an impact?

➤ Whether your objective is personal or professional, written communication is an activity based on techniques, tools, a method and know-how, reflecting the author's involvement in his writing.

➤ Relevant and successful written communication must always be effective and efficient, with clear, simple and impactful messages, creating a match between the message received and the message sent. Coherence between form and content.

➤ So, how can you convince and be impactful, challenge and leave an impression, enhance your content, address your interlocutors relevantly and optimize the quality & clarity of your message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques, taking care of both substance and form, all in a professional or personal context. For this, there are very specific techniques.

➤ Thus, mastered, the practical method allows, through a set of modules supporting pragmatic & concrete techniques, to improve one's written communication.

➤ To achieve your objective and overcome the blockages encountered through concrete techniques & a targeted methodology, it is a question of:
✓decode and use practical communication tools from great authors
✓highlight your text and enhance it to arouse interest
✓create consistency between the message sent and the message received
✓adopt effective, simple, fair and engaging language
✓use sentences, phrases and expressions to be precise, simple, effective & engaging
✓write proactively and express/transmit your ideas/message clearly
✓propose a constructive solution to problems, while drawing on your own relational skills
✓enhance your potential for expression and creativity
✓connect your communication objectives (project, institution, values, ideas, demands, etc.) with the form of your expression
✓practical techniques to encourage reader engagement
✓Strengthen the structure of your communication and develop a convincing argument in order to sell your ideas and projects
✓better prepare your message and arguments; anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an attractive and convincing presentation framework; by adequately managing difficult situations
(...)

➤ In short, each session combines adapted techniques & practical exercises, so that you can put them into practice immediately, and from the first session.

THE TRAINER
➤ With training from Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher trainer has specialized and has worked for more than 18 years in the field, in Europe and North America, in renowned international public and private establishments, regularly speaking in forums and conferences, and also offering personalized INDIVIDUAL support, with pedagogy and careful methodology as the watchwords.

➤ PLACE, TIMETABLE, PRICES
✓ Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Fribourg-Zurich-Neuchâtel-Lugano-Basel-Neuchâtel-Berne-Lucerne-Brussels-Luxembourg-Paris-Lyon. But currently, these sessions continue to be offered by videoconference in the current context and in accordance with general demand which is almost unanimous on this subject.

✓ Indeed, apart from the classic advantages of videoconferencing (time saving related to travel & their unforeseen events, eco-responsibility, increased schedule flexibility, etc.), the quality of the session & the interaction remain identical. In addition, the entire exchange, notes and recommendations are immediately transcribed on the dedicated chat.

✓ To support us among ourselves & to be pleasant to you in this sustainable / particular period and in a spirit of solidarity, the fees are temporarily reduced and will not increase after the start of our sessions.

✓ Languages: French/English.

✓ The progress following these private sessions is perceptible from 2 sessions (*2024 study).

✓ As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round.

Do you need to improve your English so that you can participate fluently and confidently in business meetings, presentations, webinars, telephone conversations or interviews? You may be aiming for a job in the EU institutions or other organisations in Brussels. Or you could be working in an international company or studying for a Masters or another qualification...

I have been a qualified, professional English teacher and translator for more than 20 years. My courses enable learners to actively produce the language, repeat useful expressions until they are habitual and correct mistakes until they are removed. Although I am happy to explain and practice grammatical issues, the focus is on effective, correct and appropriate communication by using visual material, videos, interesting topics for discussion and challenging quizzes. As I have advanced knowledge of French, German and Czech, I can particularly appreciate and correct the issues speakers of these languages have in English, but this is also the case for Dutch speakers.

There is also the possibility of specialist English courses in the areas linked to my experience (see below): how the EU works; environmental, energy, regional or agricultural policies; economics.

- Advisor in EU policies and funding for 12 years (regional policy, economic development)
- Director of a regional representation to the EU and member of a management team
- Certificate in TESOL with business
- BA(Honours) in Modern Languages & Modern History, Oxford University
- Post-graduate in Economics, London University
