About Me
Hola! Hello! I'm Yohanna Franco from Bani, Dominican Republic! 🇩🇴

I'm a native Spanish speaker and fluent English speaker. I'm very talkative, creative, warm, patient, friendly and I LOVE to talk and teach! I'm 23 years old and I love connecting with people from different cultures.

What is it like to teach for me? For me teaching is not about boring grammar - it's about real conversation, laughter, and feeling comfortable. I love when my students feel confident to speak without fear of mistakes. I am very patient, I listen carefully, I correct gently with a smile, and I celebrate your progress!

What kind of teacher am I? I'm the friendly, talkative tutor who will become your friend. I talk a lot, but I'm also a great listener. I love deep conversations about music, movies, travel, culture, life, work, and everyday things. I'm warm, funny and I make lessons fun and relaxed, not stressful.

What kind of students do I like? I love all students! Beginners who are shy to speak, intermediate who want fluency, advanced who want natural slang and expressions. Teenagers, adults, seniors - everyone is welcome! I especially love students who are curious, talkative like me, and want long-term practice.

My lessons are 100% conversation focused. We practice real English how native speakers really speak, and real Dominican Spanish - not textbook Spanish! I teach slang, pronunciation, expressions, and Dominican culture (bachata, merengue, food, daily life).

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.
