I’m a passionate Dutch language trainer and certified coach who helps adults improve their communication skills in a professional context. Since 2014, I have been teaching Dutch to employees, managers and university staff in Brussels and beyond — always with a focus on clarity, confidence and authenticity.

My lessons are interactive, tailored to each learner’s goals and filled with real-life situations such as meetings, emails, small talk and presentations. As a coach, I integrate tools that build self-awareness and motivation, helping learners overcome fear or hesitation when speaking a new language.

I believe that learning a language is not just about grammar and vocabulary — it’s about expressing who you are. That’s why I combine language training with coaching techniques to create a safe and positive learning environment where progress happens naturally.

I offer Dutch lessons adapted to beginners as well as to people who already have some basic knowledge.

I have a B2 level in Dutch, validated by a certificate of achievement, which allows me to teach the language in a clear, structured and accessible way.

The goal is to make learning simple, progressive and motivating, by advancing step by step on the essential basics of the language.

Each course is structured around:

- useful everyday vocabulary
- Grammar explained simply
- basic conjugation
- oral and written comprehension
- Conversation exercises to quickly gain fluency

I adapt to the pace and objectives of each student (school, work or personal learning), in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere.

The goal is to progress effectively while gaining confidence in speaking.

I offer personalised Italian lessons for students, adults and anyone who wants to learn or improve Italian in a practical, engaging and motivating way. I have 8 years of experience as a tutor, and what I enjoy most about teaching is seeing my students improve, gain confidence and gradually acquire new skills.

As a native Italian speaker with a strong academic background in languages, culture and communication, I create a tailored learning programme for each student, based on their level, needs, goals and personal interests. Every student learns differently, so I adapt my method to make the lessons useful, clear and never boring or passive.

My lessons can focus on conversation, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, writing, reading comprehension, school support or exam preparation. I also teach Italian to people who want to learn it for travel, work, personal interest or cultural reasons.

For beginners, we can start from the basics: pronunciation, everyday phrases, simple grammar and useful vocabulary. For intermediate and advanced students, we can work on fluency, more complex grammar, listening comprehension, written expression and natural conversation.

I like to include real-life examples, dialogues, cultural references and personalised exercises, so that students can immediately apply what they learn. My goal is not only to teach Italian rules, but to help students actually use the language with confidence and pleasure.

Lessons can be held in English, French or Italian, depending on the student’s level and preference.

I offer tailor‐made Dutch lessons for teenagers and adults who want to strengthen their language skills for school, work, or personal development. I can support you in areas such as:

- Professional language coaching for speeches, pitches, presentations, and business communication.
- Tutoring and study guidance in preparation for tests, presentations, or oral exams.
- Language use: from pronunciation and intonation to vocabulary, structure, and style.
- Practical training sessions in which we rewrite texts together and walk through concrete scenarios.

My approach is personal, attentive to nuance, context, and the learner’s objectives. Thanks to my multilingual background (NL/FR/EN/DE), I can switch smoothly between languages and make complex linguistic questions accessible.

About me: I am an experienced communication and language professional with more than twenty years of expertise in writing, editing, project coordination, and multilingual communication. I bring a unique combination of linguistic sensitivity, didactic finesse, and cultural insight. As a sworn Brussels city guide and passionate storyteller, I know the city inside out and know how to make a complex language like Dutch clear, engaging, and enjoyable.

Depending on the student's level, the objectives to be achieved, but also their strengths and weaknesses, we establish a working method together.
Most often, the lesson focuses on identifying and clarifying grammar points that need review (inversion, enjambment, tenses, agreement, Dutch syntax, etc.), and on practice exercises. I also frequently assign small homework assignments for the following lesson, as language learning requires consistent effort.
If possible, we end the lesson with a short conversation on the topic of the day.

Do you want to learn Chinese, whether for your child, your studies, your work, a trip, or simply out of curiosity? I offer Mandarin courses adapted for children, teenagers, and adults, from beginner to intermediate level!

Currently in my final year of a Master's degree in Chinese studies, I speak four languages (French, Dutch, English and Chinese) and I had the opportunity to live and study for a year in Beijing, at the 外交学院 (China Foreign Affairs University).

My career has also been marked by several participations in the Chinese Bridge Competition, a major international Chinese language competition. I twice achieved second place in the Belgian final and then participated in the storytelling event (故事会), where I reached the Top 50 worldwide.

My method is based on a structured progression inspired in particular by the HSK, while being adapted to the objectives and pace of each student. We can work on pronunciation and tones, vocabulary, grammar, characters, listening comprehension as well as oral and written expression.

For children and teenagers, I use an interactive approach with games, stories, pictures, dialogues, and age-appropriate activities. For adults, I can tailor the lessons more to conversation, practical Chinese, everyday situations, travel, studies, or a professional context.

I also wish to share my passion for Chinese culture, which I had the opportunity to explore in depth during my year in Beijing. Since language and culture are closely linked, the courses can also incorporate elements of traditions, festivals, history, and daily life in China.

Each lesson is therefore personalized according to the student's level, age and objectives.

Whether you are a complete beginner or wish to consolidate an intermediate level, my goal is to enable you to progress in Chinese in a serious, structured and motivating way.
