Hello there, my name is Fern. I was born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland where I have worked until today, after traveling and working in Asia and the Middle East in recent years. I have always given conversational practice lessons to students whose language I do not speak. Indeed, my mother tongue is English and I do not speak French or Dutch :) My method therefore involves a total immersion in the English language which will help you use the right tenses, the right formulas and idiomatic expressions and to perfect your fluency and your accent. I teach online or at my home in Ixelles. Looking forward to meeting you! See you soon.

I did tutoring for three years. After a long break in order to finish my studies as a specialized educator, I decided to resume.

I can help primary school students in all subjects as well as secondary school students (but only for literary/language subjects).

I studied at a translation school in English and Spanish as well as at a special education school. I lived in England for a year and my father is Chilean, so I speak Spanish perfectly.

I also have the First Certificate of English diploma.

I adapt my working methods according to the students and their needs. I find it essential to create the course with the student, so that my teaching is best suited to the person in front of me.

Do not hesitate to contact me for more information and/or a meeting!

Hello! If you can understand this message without having to translate then you are ready for my help! I am from California, and have been living here in Brussels since 2012. I am 44 years old. I speak West Coast (California) English. It's the English you hear in your favorite California movies. I love to help friends who already speak "European street English" while HAVING FUN! Did you know that 70% of learning a language is learned OUTSIDE of a classroom setting? So I propose we go to the park, we cook together, we go on a bike ride, we draw, we play. And of course we will talk a lot. When I hear an error I will correct you in a fun way, writing things for you, with FUN AND REAL examples, with drawings, ALWAYS STAYING 100% in English. That's correct, I will only speak English to you, because as you and I both know, you already speak English, and you have understood everything (or maybe 70%) of everything I just wrote. What you want is to improve or perfect your spoken English (we can work on writing, too). Immersion and fun, West Coast Style. And my university degree? Yes, I have two of them, in Languages and Literature, and I speak 4 fully fluent languages (working on number five currently), but for now I want you to learn English by HAVING FUN! My friends and prior students can tell you how fun it is to learn with me. HOPE WE GET TO PLAY TOGETHER SOON! You can do it! Groups ok.

Since I believe that the learning environment is one of the keys to successful language learning, I endeavor to make students feel comfortable and content in my lessons: to ask questions if they are unsure and keep an easy but rewarding pace of learning.

Depending on how my students feel they learn English most effectively, I adapt my lessons to use materials that give them the best results possible. For instance, some students find the continuity of a coursebook effective, while others prefer to be more flexible with articles and podcasts. I know from experience that every student is unique.

The best way to learn a language is to practice it, listen to it and read it! This is why, as far as possible, the lessons will be given IN English, in order to train both your ear and to push you to answer/think in English.

A large part of the learning will go through the oral practice of the language: you will be invited to express yourself on various subjects that interest you.

Depending on your interests, we can practice English through different activities: cooking, music, cinema, etc.

Do not hesitate to call on me, if your objective is:
- To acquire a more fluent English / to converse
- Work on your pronunciation/accent
- To rework a written text / train your written expression
- To learn the basics of the language (grammar, spelling, etc.)

I am used to working with children and can adapt to all audiences.
I also offer lessons for the little ones, for a fun initiation with games and small activities (cooking, crafts, walks, drawing, etc.).
I can also address an adult audience seeking to acquire fluent English, a developed vocabulary, and ease in specific contexts.

Specialized in teaching French and English, I offer general academic support for regular homework, preparation for the central jury or university admission exams.
I will adapt my way of working and my teaching methods according to my student and what he wants to improve: oral or written expression, grammar, reading and analysis of books (themes, characters), writing summaries of texts or arguments on subjects often given in the Central Jury exams or university admission exams.
I have experience working with teenagers and young adults, and my teaching also includes coaching. I am willing to travel to my student's home, and they are also welcome to visit me at my home (Uccle).

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 am a creative, patient and adaptive primary teacher with 8 years of experience. I began teaching as a university student, volunteering in a local primary school, and fell in love with helping students feel passionate and engaged in their learning. I began my teacher training in 2017 with the Teach First programme, teaching near London. In 2019 I moved to Italy and taught there for 6 years, honing my skills in developing confident learners with a great understanding of English. Last year, I moved to Belgium to join my partner and have begun life as a tutor!

What I love most about tutoring is being able to target each lesson to the child, slowly building their confidence and focusing on the areas they need most support, helping them to feel confidence in their learning. I build their interests and strengths into each lesson so they feel engaged and supported. I have a wealth of experience supporting students with a range of SEND needs as well as English as an Additional Language.
