English Lessons For Any Age: Reading, Writing, Conversation, and More!

From 69 C$ /h

Hello! I am a native English speaker with a doctorate in Cultural Studies from KU Leuven and a BA in English Literature and writing. I have extensive tutoring and English-education experience and will be happy to help you meet your English-competency goals.

In 2019 I worked as an applied languages teacher at the Université de Haute Alsace in the Faculty of Arts where I taught business English and negotiations, English Foundations, and Business Interpretations (English-French).

I have experience tutoring professionals working in EU institutions, graduate and post-graduate students, and primary-school children.

I work with composition, oral expression, and editing and I have helped many students improve both their confidence and their scores on tests and papers. I have previously provided individual English lessons suited to the needs of adults and elementary-aged students of diverse international backgrounds.

In 2016 I directed a literacy center for primary school children in Washington, D.C., helping them learn to read, write, and think critically.

• Proofreading
• Pronunciation/diction
• Editing
• Grammar Coaching
• Academic Writing
• Conversational English
• Study Skills and Exam Prep
• Cover Letter/ Resume Help
• Vocabulary Building

If you or your child would benefit from my services, please do not hesitate to contact me! I also speak French fluently and intermediate Spanish.

Extra information

Most meetings will take place in a public space such as a café or bookstore, although I am willing to travel to private homes for children's lessons. I will create the lessons to suit your individual needs and collaborate with you to find a lesson style that suits you best.

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!

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.

Let yourself be guided and finally realize your dream of writing.

➤ Overcome your fears.
➤ Discover the secret to writing 100% fun and 0% blank pages.

➤ Build unwavering legitimacy and overcome the fear of failure, lack of time and procrastination that keep you from moving forward.

In short, put an end to the fear of writing! Isn't it difficult to be consumed by the desire to write your project and not succeed in doing it? Break forever the insurmountable wall that prevents you from writing today.

It is a matter of combining improvements in form with improvements in substance. For this, the sessions can for example take place according to your needs as follows:
a) Comments / proposals on the text that you will offer me b) Writing exercises based on a statement.
c) A series of precise and pragmatic recommendations and their application through style exercises.

Whether it is a novel, an essay, song lyrics, various texts, a biography or simply a report for professional or school purposes, it is about offering you elements personalized pedagogy:

- Study your text
- Build text, song lyrics etc
- Calmly polish the style
- Research and develop your lexical fields
- Differentiate between writing for oneself and writing for others

All this by combining theory and practice: Writing work from exercises then as part of a personal project.

During the sessions, you are guided in your writing project. The trainer accompanies you and teaches you the preparation method, gives you writing tools and helps you work on your style and your imagination.

The objective is multiple, including a reflection on one's own literary path, an introduction to the basic tools of style work and exercises on description.

Learning objectives:
- Identify your writing path.
- Mobilize your imagination.
- Learn and master the practical writing tools.
- Broaden its reflection on creation and professional and personal writing.

Trained in a European Grande Ecole & Ivy League University in the United States, specialized and has been working in Europe and North America for more than 16 years in this field, in reputable international institutions , also intervening in forums and conferences.

- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.

These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.

À la carte: evaluated and adapted to each personality.

It depends on the age of the person I'm teaching, but I would switch between reading, listening and talking exercises. A small text would have to be written for the next hour, so we can go through it together. Obviously I am very spontaneous and able to switch my program, so every individual person is learning at their perfect level.
