About Me

Hello everyone! Nice to virtually meet you! My name is Caroline and I am from a small island called Malta. It's in Europe, next to Italy. For the past 10 years I have been living in Brussels, Belgium.

- I am easy going by nature and have a passion for travel, experiencing different cultures and cuisines and most of all, I enjoy getting to know new people, which is why I love teaching English as a foreign language. I feel that this enriches the teaching experience shaping it into a relationship rather than a teacher-student approach, just like in real life. When meeting new people, especially from different countries, we are eager to find out about their culture, background, language, cuisine, daily lifestyle and this is brought to the class through conversation and speaking practice, class preparation from both the teacher and student side, comprehension activities and games, music to the student's tastes, reading about current happenings, keeping in mind the student's interests, language needs, existing language skills and newly learned target language.

- My approach therefore emphasises on the student's interests, lifestyle and language needs making it a safe and comfortable space for learning and flourishing in their language knowledge, involving engaging activities and more student talk time rather than teacher talk time, while creating a memorable experience through association, enhancing language learning.

Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.

I cannot wait to meet you!
Caro

Need a boost in languages? I am at your disposal for private lessons in Dutch and English.
I was a scientific research assistant (in England and VUB) at the university for 10 years. Having lived abroad, I have good knowledge of languages and I have a certificate of educational aptitude. I propose an individualized pedagogy, a help with the preparation of interrogations or exams. My goal is to advance the student without overloading him and give him tools to improve his methodology.

University of Chicago graduate with over 10 years experience in standardized exam preparation offers intensive specialized training for the Verbal section of the GMAT and for TOEFL iBT with guaranteed significant score improvement.
The GMAT is required for most MBA programs worldwide, of which the top 100 use it for 90% of their admissions. Its Verbal section (Sentence Correction, Critical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension) is quite different in its focus on the logic and construction of phrases and arguments rather than language rules and vocabulary, typical of other exams. I will help you gain real understanding of the question logic, and extensive practice by working only with authentic questions from past exams (hundreds of questions of various difficulty levels) and supplementing with extra targeted exercises from my eclectic collection of the best resources. This serious exam requires intelligent preparation, there are no superficial shortcuts and tricks like those one may easily come across. However daunting the GMAT may seem, you can actually score at least as high as native speakers (I have had students score in the 700’s), thanks to a more analytical and formal approach to English. What is awesome is that GMAT preparation will not only increase your test score, but also give you logical and analytical skills useful in any aspect of your academic or professional life.
The purpose of the TOEFL is merely to make sure you have the necessary English skills to study in university, with a focus on communication and understanding. Thanks to my long academic experience in American universities and preparing hundreds of students for the TOEFL exam, I can help you significantly improve your written English production for the two different TOEFL writing tasks, as well as your pronunciation and fluency for the six speaking tasks.
The methodological and individual approach will definitely boost your skills and confidence and give you a more efficient and effective preparation than group courses can.

Hello! My name is Michelle and I am English, born in London. I have been teaching English for 12 years.

Before lessons begin, you will receive a short questionnaire to determine your level, needs, and interests. This serves as the basis for our program and ensures that it is fully personalized. In addition, you can always let me know if you have any other specific needs you would like to work on during the lesson (reports, presentations, holidays in an English-speaking country, etc.).

We will have regular review sessions during the lessons, and I will ask you to do some homework at home, according to your schedule. I adapt my lessons to your specific needs, while taking into account the key skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, and pronunciation). Regarding pronunciation, I can also teach the phonetic alphabet. In addition to Business English, I offer a proofreading and editing service for texts and reports.

The courses are yours, and the goal is for them to be educational, interesting, motivating, and for you to see that you are making progress.

I am friendly, empathetic and patient, and I can provide you with solid and above all authentic recommendations from my current as well as past students.

Feel free to contact me for more information.

Hope to meet you !

I offer English lessons focused on reading, writing, and speaking skills, immersion in the culture and history of the language and English-speaking peoples, and I use methods tailored to each student to ensure the fastest and most lasting progress. To achieve this, I utilize a variety of resources: traditional exercises (grammar, spelling), oral and audio exercises for pronunciation and comprehension, music and games, educational videos, and more.
I attach great importance to writing by hand with a pen and not just typing on a computer, as well as to non-traditional learning methods (films, music with lyrics, games) because this engages different parts of the brain more deeply and makes it easier to learn and retain information.
I guarantee personalized learning methods and support for each student, as well as a significant improvement in level in less time than would be required via traditional platforms.

Hi! I’m Christian.
I’m a Mechanical Engineer, but teaching is something I truly love. I offer English tutoring, as well as support in engineering and science, during evenings and weekends. My goal is to help students reach their objectives in a way that is practical, motivating, and enjoyable.

I was born in a French-speaking country, but I developed a passion for English at a very young age. As early as middle school, I loved learning grammar and vocabulary so much that my teachers often called me an “English expert,” as I consistently achieved top scores. Although I pursued a career in engineering, I never stopped improving my English. I earned certifications and used the language daily while working in international companies, and I also helped colleagues strengthen their grammar and vocabulary skills.

Teaching is very close to my heart. I am also involved with educational NGOs, where I share knowledge with students who need it most. On a personal level, English has truly changed my life. Three years ago, I met my wife online, and at the beginning we could only communicate using Google Translate. I taught her English myself so we could really talk, and today we both speak fluently — and even our two-year-old is already learning English!

I bring that same patience, dedication, and enthusiasm to my students. Together, we will build your confidence, improve your grammar and vocabulary, and make English useful in real-life situations. Whatever your goals — studies, work, travel, or personal growth — I will help you achieve them.

📩 If you’re ready to start speaking English with confidence, let’s book your first lesson.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you reach your goals!

My English classes are tailored to each student's level, goals, and learning pace, whether they are a young learner building foundational skills, a teenager preparing for exams, or an adult looking to improve their professional or conversational English. Having lived and studied in England for over 10 years and completed my entire university education in English, I bring an authentic and natural understanding of the language, far beyond what textbooks alone can offer.

Each session typically begins with a review of previous difficulties, followed by targeted explanations and interactive practice, including conversation, grammar exercises, writing tasks, or exam preparation, depending on the student's needs. I place particular emphasis on spoken fluency and confidence, helping students develop the ability to express themselves naturally and accurately in real-life situations.

My approach is patient, structured, and encouraging. I adapt my teaching style to suit each individual, ensuring that every student feels supported and motivated to progress. Classes are available in person in Brussels or online, making them accessible and flexible to fit any schedule.
