With my 6 years of language schools and private tutoring experience, I'm certain that this class would be a great deal of help to you. In this class we will be covering all the skills (Reading, Listening, Speaking Writing, Vocabulary) intensively. I have a wide range of English materials and you will be provided power point presentations, flash books, listening activities etc. during our teaching sessions. Additionally, what I do for my students is, I prepare materials for individuals according to their needs in English, and what I actually want from students is to practice what they have learnt via real-time situations.
Don't forget, learning English is only possible if you cooperate with your tutor.

I am a native English speaker and have 3 years of experience teaching writing, reading, grammar and conversation in fun and creative ways! I am very patient and have worked with students at all levels. Conversational English focused on individual students level and areas of interest.

Hi,

In a rapidly evolving world where knowledge and data continue to expand, it's essential not to overlook real social connections. Helping others has been a significant part of my life since I was a little boy. I am driven to contribute to our society by bringing people together and fostering meaningful connections. This ambition fuels my desire to work towards this goal.

Currently, I am a Belgian student in my second year of Civil Engineering at KU Leuven. However, I have come to realize that this field doesn't align with my passion for human interaction. Hence, I have decided to reorient myself academically and will be starting a degree in Business Engineering in September.

Before I embark on my new academic journey, I want to utilize the next five months to share my knowledge and gain additional skills. I take pride in the quality of education I received at my high school, Heilig Hartcollege Tervuren, and would be delighted to offer study pathway counseling and support to you or your child/teen. I can cover nearly every subject up to university level Civil Engineering.

If you have specific inquiries or would like to know more about me or the subjects I can cover, feel free to get in touch. Currently based in Belgium, I have two years of experience providing private support. If you are located in Manhattan, I am willing to travel, but kindly allow me 3 to 4 days to pack my bags and make arrangements.

Lessons can be conducted in English, French, or Dutch, depending on your preference.

I am excited about the prospect of meeting you and collaborating to enhance your academic performance. I am open to all kinds of offers and propositions.

Best regards,
Arnaud

Hello! I am a Spanish student doing Erasmus in Ghent. I am studying Early Childhood Education at the University of Artevelde.
The methodology I use is practical since my intention is to make language learning as dynamic and efficient as possible, always taking into account the needs and interests of each student.
My classes turn out to be effective since in the same session we can practice everything: grammar, vocabulary, reading and writing comprehension and, of course, speaking!
I'm looking forward to meet you!

Hello! I am a Spanish student who is doing her Erasmus in Ghent. I am currently studying pre-school education at Artevelde University.
The methodology I like to use seems to be practical due to my intention is to make the language learning as dynamic and efficient as possible that's why I always have into account each student's needs and interests.
My classes seem to be efficient because in one session we can practice everything: grammar, vocabulary, reading and writing comprehension and of course the speaking!
Looking forward to meet you!

Want to impress your partner with newly discovered romantic Italian compliments? Want to showcase your wine knowledge to your in-laws during a family dinner? Want to be able to order a caffellatte macchiato con latte di soia without having your waiter scoff at you while traveling around Italy? Then starting a conversation with me will be your answer!

I will guide you through the amenities of the Italian language, coming from someone who grew up with it. I am a Bioprocess Engineer, currently employed in Gent at an industrial biotech company. I studied and lived (mostly) in Italy until I was 20 years old, then I moved to Copenhagen to continue my education. I am an Italian native speaker, and I use English in my daily personal and working life.

Talking to someone is the best way you can practice new languages. When I was a teenager I moved to Canada for six months to learn English, and even if I struggled at the beginning, pushing myself to have crooked conversation with friends was the perfect way to start mastering the language.

We can talk about current topics, family, hobbies and the like. If you have specific requirements or interests, we can indeed explore those. Let me know, a presto!

Effortless English Language Learning

is my favourite method of teaching people USEFUL English to help them become confident English speakers fast, without studying or effort.

Here is how you will learn if you choose to take this Course:
During each session:

STEP 1: I ask you "appropriate" questions to what's most important to you in your life.

STEP 2: You reply as good as you can.

STEP 3: I correct your English where necessary, your pronunciation if needed, and help you say what you actually are trying to say (FYI: I have 18 years of experience in teaching English ).

STEP 4: Together we create a script, a piece of text, for your next 1-minute English ListeningExercise.

STEP 5: After the session I professionally record your tailor-made 1-minute English ListeningExercise.

STEP 6: Your task is to listen to that ListeningExercise for 10 minutes every day with headphones.

STEP 7: A week later (or less), you take your next session with me where you show me how well you can say your 1-minute English ListeningExercise from memory and we repeat the process.

It doesn't matter if you have a beginner or mid-intermediate English level, if you follow these steps, then there is no need to focus on English grammar or sentence structure because that will come automatically to you.

That's what I want for you:
to acquire a natural English awareness that is focused and useful to your situation in your life, not mine, so that you can become the confident English speaker you intend to become and USE the English you've learnt on a daily basis.

I'll be there for you as your English language coach and lift you up each time you need it or request it.

So if you are looking for a 5-star teacher to improve your English fast, I AM that guy.
That may sound arrogant but I strongly believe in myself and my teaching methods.
And this is what sets me apart from rest.

And if you also believe I am all of that, and you are committed to learning English and know what you want in life and where you're going, I am sure you'll give it a try.

Life is simple.
