Debating is an incredibly useful skill, applicable to many situations.
In debate, you may be arguing whether parents should have access to surveillance cameras at schools—or whether women make better superheroes. Debate is your chance to apply your English skills to make the most persuasive case you can. In this course, you will not only learn speaking techniques such as intonation and ways to have a more cohesive argument, but you will also be able to conduct a clear presence, organise your speech and have better rhetoric e.g. metaphors, inversions and groups of three.
I have won multiple awards in the World Scholar’s Cup format, such as the 77th top debater and the top scholar overall in my individual country in the Tournament of Champions, which was hosted at Yale University.
Extra information
Please have a notebook and pens/pencils ready for writing. You will also require a device that can be used for online meetings.

I am a native American English speaking instructor, editor, journalist, and legal/policy expert from Florida specializing in instruction, interview and exam prep, consulting and text correction for a wide range of professionals & students across Belgium including in the legal, academic, policy, and other fields. I am available to meet in both Brussels.

My past & present clients have included: professionals and politicians from all four major EU institutions, the Belgian government, the UNHCR, and various NGOs, alongside diplomats, doctors, journalists, and engineers, as well as a variety of other professions in addition to traditional students..I have had over 35+ repeat students on Apprentus (which recently changed their algorithm to only display the last six months).

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 have also written, edited or proofread a variety of academic papers, theses, applications, CVs, and other documents for numerous satisfied academic and professional clients.

I have spent my entire childhood and adult life in the United States before completing a master's degree in Political Science and European Politics at KU Leuven. Additionally, I also possess Bachelor's degrees in Political Science and History. I have an extensive knowledge and experience of English grammar and literature, as well as current and past working experience in journalism (Anti-Competition Law and European Policy at the Policy and Regulatory Report) and both European and American politics.

I have no problem meeting anywhere in Brussels or further afield within the region. I also handle correction of text, editing, proofreading and ghostwriting, with weekly and monthly rates possible. My transportation costs are included.

My teaching approach focuses on making English learning engaging, interactive, and personalised to each student's needs. I believe that the best way to improve a language is through consistent practice, real-life conversations, and building confidence in communication rather than simply memorising grammar rules.

My Teaching Methods

I use a combination of conversational practice, grammar exercises, vocabulary development, pronunciation improvement, and interactive activities. My goal is to create a comfortable learning environment where students feel confident speaking English, asking questions, and learning from their mistakes.

What a Typical Lesson Looks Like

Each lesson begins with a short conversation to practise speaking and review previous topics. We then focus on a specific area of improvement, such as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, or academic English. Lessons include practical exercises, discussions, and personalised feedback to help students recognise their strengths and areas for improvement.

What Makes My Lessons Different

As a university student studying Business Management with Business Analytics at Lancaster University Leipzig, I understand the importance of effective English communication in academic, professional, and everyday situations. Having studied in an English-speaking educational environment, I aim to make lessons practical, enjoyable, and relevant to real-life experiences.

Who Are My Lessons For?

My lessons are suitable for secondary school students, university students, and adults with a basic to advanced understanding of English (A2–C1). Whether you're preparing for school exams, improving your academic writing, developing professional communication skills, or simply looking to become more fluent and confident, I will adapt the lessons to your individual learning goals.

All lessons are conducted entirely in English to encourage immersion and help students develop natural communication skills.
