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

From 37.48 £ /h

Hello! I am a native English speaker and a current doctoral candidate (and MA graduate) at KU Leuven in Belgium, with a BA in English Literature and writing. I have extensive tutoring 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 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 various adult and elementary-ages students of diverse international backgrounds and in 2016 I directed a literacy center for primary school children, helping them learn to read, write, and think critically.

• Proofreading
• Pronunciation/diction
• Editing
• Grammar Coaching
• Academic Writing
• Conversational English
• Study Skills and Exam Prep

If you, your child, or someone you know may benefit from my services, please do not hesitate to contact me! I also speak French if that is helpful for lesson comfortability or translation.

Extra information

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