About Me

Hello,

My name is Jordy and I'm 30 years old. I am a medical student with a background in international business and have 6 years of experience in teaching.

After passing the admission test for medical school (a national exam counting over 7000 participants every year, and only a small fraction succeeding) I decided to help others prepare for this difficult exam by teaching them the content, helping with the structure and overall demistifying this scary-looking challenge. It soon became a passion of mine to help, teach and coach others through academic ''boogeymen'', because I believe everyone can achieve what I have with the right preparation and attitude.

As someone who has been in the position of ''doubtful student'' before, it would be my pleasure to help you achieve your academic goals and build your confidence along the way. Contact me for help with courses, exams, and study planning.

Education

- Medicine
Having obtained credits in courses such as histology, microbiology, anatomy, genetics and biochemistry, I feel comfortable in teaching courses like biology at a deeper level.

Experience / Qualifications

Six years of experience in tutoring math, biology, chemistry and physics.

Passed the admission exam for dentistry and medical school, a test based on the final years of science-heavy high school forms (6-8 hours of math/4+ physics, chemistry and biology).

In this module I tutor in biology on a middle school to high school to college level, depending on what is required by the student. The possibilities vary from simple lessons about basic concepts all the way to the topics needed to pass ''end exams'' like the SAT, GCSE, MCAT and International Baccalaureate.

My knowledge from medical school help me explain the material on a deeper level if the student requires so.

In this course I will prepare you for the IMAT (Italian medical admission test) which happens every year and is the only way to get access to the English language medicine programme in public universities in Italy.

I will help you with the four scientific disciplines (math, physics, biology, chemistry) as well as the critical reasoning and general knowledge aspect. I will also prepare you with real-life exam scenarios in order to get used to the time limit and other constraints.

My students start speaking in 3 months! This is all thanks to the communicative method I use during lessons (I speak 30-40%, I listen 70-60%). Not only do they memorize new vocabulary and grammar better, but they learn to construct sentences independently from the very first lessons, and subsequently, to converse with confidence.

I teach: English, Spanish, and Russian.

- Communicate with native speakers
- Prepare for exams (Russian state exams, IELTS, certifications)
- Participate in the Language Olympiad and win prizes
- Improve your academic performance
- Prepare for university admission in Russia or abroad
- Travel without language barriers
- Improve your professional performance in international companies

Russian literature is captivating, complex, beautiful... But also essential for understanding Russian language, culture and even its current situation. As Yevtushenko said, "In Russia a poet is more than just a poet". And this is why learning more about Russian literature is essential. As a scholar in the area of Russian studies, I've written quite a few articles on that matter, and I'm happy to share my expertise with you!

Teaching Russian is both natural and motivating for me, as it is my native language. I already have solid experience in teaching languages remotely and I particularly enjoy supporting students in their progress, adapting lessons to their objectives and pace.
Joining a language school would allow me to get involved in a structured professional environment, to share my passion for languages and to continue to develop my teaching skills.

Hello!

My name is Julia.

I am a native Russian speaker and a professional teacher with a pedagogical background and experience in an international environment. I currently live and work in Ghent, where I teach Russian to bilingual children at a school.

I understand the specific needs of children growing up in a multilingual environment: how to maintain their interest in the language, expand their vocabulary, and develop both their oral and written skills. In my lessons, I focus not only on language skills but also on the cultural context, so that students can maintain their connection with the Russian language and culture.

I teach both online and offline in Ghent. Lessons are adapted to the student's age, level, and goals—whether it's speaking skills, supporting bilingualism, preparing for school, or deepening their language skills.

During my lessons, I create a warm and supportive atmosphere in which students feel confident and motivated. My goal is not just to explain the material but to make real progress and develop a love for the language.

I'd be happy to help you or your child learn Russian!
