I am a native American English speaking instructor, editor, journalist, and legal/policy expert from Florida with over 13 years of experience 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.

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 50+ 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 also handle correction of text, editing, proofreading and ghostwriting, with weekly and monthly rates possible. My transportation costs are included.

As a native speaker, the idea of these classes are to rpovide students with the keys to communicate in Spanish or to follow up with your Spanish. The student decides the level and in which preferred areas would like to focus on and I will try too do it as fun as possible.

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.

What to expect?

Young children - More of a game/activity learning method but also involves learning a broad scheme of things. It is in a way, an introduction to the basics of the language.

Teenagers - Usually involve set goals to reach by a certain period (for school). The teaching method and intensity depends on the amount of catching up to do.
If no catch up is required a more friendly learning method can be applied depending on the learner's interests.

Adults - More of a discussion-based learning method, depending on the experience of the learner. And can be oriented more towards specific subjects or domains chosen by the learner. It can involve course work or tasks to be done.

Why me?

I was born in Scotland but I grew up mostly in the french-speaking part of Belgium so I would say that both English and French are my natal languages.

I have decent knowledge of the various English cultures, vocabulary, and grammar.
Having traveled for a year in North America and having lived in Australia, Ireland, and Britain.

My mother is an english teacher in a secondary school and has given private english lessons ever since we moved to Belgium when I was six years old . I have participated or helped in many classes when needed.

I have access to a ton of material and her personal knowledge if I or we are experiencing a problem that we can't seem to solve. Or an issue the learner is experiencing that is preventing him/her from advancing.

I am a very "auto-ditact" person who tries to maximize the resources I have and the ones I have access to. I am good at understanding and solving problems and I believe that I can apply this to teaching as well.

I am a very professional person that tries to stay as relaxed and calm as possible. I am also extremely patient and have a lot of dedication.
If there is a deadline and a goal to meet, I will try my very best to make things work.

Additional info

I also know the humiliation that we sometimes feel when speaking a foreign language. I try to be as impartial and non-judgemental as I can in order to make the person feel as relaxed as possible when communicating with them.

Hello, I'm Adelina! I'm Romanian and I've recently graduated my master’s in violin performance at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp.
Apart from playing music, one of my other passions is teaching. As my profession requires, I’m calm, communicative and have quite a lot of patience. I’m fluent in Romanian and English, however I’m able to have basic conversations in Russian as well and I’m in the process of learning Dutch.
Do you want to start learning English? Or maybe you’ve studied English many years ago and you’d like to improve? Are you preparing yourself for a trip or even a new job in Romania?
Don't hesitate to contact me and I’ll make sure to help you reach your goals! :)

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 !

My name is Manon, I am 23 years old, and I study languages and literature at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. I graduated in June 2026 with a Master's degree in Germanic languages and literature with a specialization in teaching (Dutch - German), and I am currently completing a second Master's degree in teaching (English - French as a Foreign Language). I therefore have an advanced knowledge of French (C2), English (C1), German (B2+), and Dutch (B2+).
I have been giving private lessons for 5 years and have taught a variety of students (teenagers and adults). I am available to help you with academic support or simply if you want to learn or improve one of these languages and have exhausted Duolingo.
I am available during the week in the Saint-Boniface area of Brussels.

I offer my services to help your children achieve their academic goals, whether it is for the little ones who are discovering reading and writing, or for teenagers in the middle of preparing for exams. I also have experience with university students who needed a helping hand in certain subjects.
Patient and attentive, I adapt to the specific needs of each student, offering them personalized support to help them progress at their own pace and with confidence.
In terms of education, I followed a Preparatory Class for the Grandes Écoles in France (literature, philosophy, history, geography and languages), and obtained a bachelor's degree in English Language, Literature and Civilization. I then continued with a master's degree in British and American translation and civilization. I had the chance to work for two years at the Lycée Français Jean Monnet in Brussels, where I acquired solid experience with students of all ages and a good understanding of the expectations of the school system.
I would be happy to discuss this with you and see how I can contribute to its success.

Hello! My name is Pedro. I hold a Master's degree in Linguistics and Literary Studies, specializing in English and Spanish. In this course, we can explore both standard Spanish language learning and delve into more in-depth theoretical linguistic concepts such as morphosyntax, phonology, semantics, and more. The content is entirely tailored to your needs: we can work with your own materials, or I can provide mine, to create a truly personalized learning path.

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.
