Biology student gives English lessons at home with an active method!

From 21 £ /h

I will adapt to the level of the student and speak to him / her in immersion (if he / she has the level of course). I judge that active pedagogy is more interesting for learning, than studying simple lists of vocabulary. I therefore intend to show students the use of the language in everyday life by confronting them with their environment and leaving home or school.

My schedules therefore change availability to see in private :)

About Me

I am a biology student at L'ucl. I did my high school at Saint-Hubert school with an English option and immersion. A friend (who does not speak French at all) lives in Atlanta (USA), I have already been to visit him several times and I spent my two months vacation there. I normally have English lessons at university but due to my high level, I was exempted. However, I practice my English every day with a minimum of 1 hour / day of oral.

Graduate teacher offers an individualized pedagogy, assistance with the preparation of questions or exams. My goal is to advance the student without overburdening him.

I have more than three years of experience as an English teacher in schools, English language academies, businesses and private lessons. In general I teach with maximum effort that the student expresses himself as much as possible in English so that he can have a better mastery of the language.

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.

A Cambridge University-qualified English teacher offers a communicative method to improve speaking, writing, understanding, and reading in English. My goal is to help students progress in the areas where they find it most challenging: are you looking for accurate pronunciation, or is it oral and/or written communication that's causing you difficulties? Or are you preparing for an English exam? Or does your child need to reach a certain level at school?
Feel free to ask me your questions before we embark on a serious and well-targeted learning program for you or your child.

In the case of tutoring, I base my lessons on the subject seen by the student by explaining to him in another way with many examples and by making him practice as much as possible.

In case of learning the basics, I have set up my own totally interactive method so that the student can practice and during which I speak almost only in English to be close to immersion during the lessons.

Do not hesitate to contact me for:
- learn the basics
- prepare for a test
- have support for your lessons
- practice the language
- ...

Whatever your needs, I take a practical and fun approach to English because, in my opinion, it is the best way to learn.

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).

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 !

Hello, I’m Samira . I specialize in helping high school students succeed in English and Physics through personalized one-on-one lessons.
• In English, I focus on improving grammar, writing, and comprehension, ensuring students gain the skills they need for academic success.
• In Physics, I simplify complex concepts and guide students through problem-solving techniques to build confidence and improve exam performance.

Each session is tailored to the student’s needs, learning style, and academic goals. My aim is not only to improve grades but also to foster long-term understanding and independent learning skills.

If you’re looking for reliable, supportive, and effective tutoring for your child, I’d be happy to help.

I offer tailored courses, in person or remotely, according to the needs of each student. For academic support, I adapt to the program followed by the child or adolescent, by deepening the concepts already covered, by re-explaining difficult points or by dissecting problematic themes.

For adults, I mainly teach the basics in Dutch, but I can adapt my lessons to different objectives. For example: learning the vocabulary for a new position, preparing for an exam (Selor, language certification), refreshing your knowledge before an interview, or improving your ability to communicate effectively in a professional or personal context. My approach is always flexible, student-centered, and aims to strengthen both understanding and self-confidence.

Each session begins with an analysis of your needs, followed by practical exercises and role-playing scenarios. You receive clear feedback and concrete advice to progress effectively.

My goal is to help you gain confidence and achieve visible results quickly.

Courses are available in French or English.

I’ve been teaching English since 2021, working with both school students and adults through private lessons and language schools. I studied English-French Translation and Interpreting at Bilkent University, and I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree at Vrije Universiteit Brussel. I also achieved an overall band score of 9 in IELTS Academic.

I offer lessons for students who need extra support with English at school, want to become more confident speaking, or are preparing for exams such as IELTS. Depending on your needs, we can work on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, reading, writing or everyday conversation.

I don’t follow the same lesson plan with every student. I usually begin by understanding what you’re already comfortable with and where you’re struggling. From there, we work at your pace, with explanations, exercises and plenty of opportunities to practise.

For younger students, I can help with homework, school exams and building a stronger foundation in English. For teenagers and adults, lessons can also focus on conversation, academic English, exam preparation or improving communication for work and everyday life.

My aim is to make English easier to understand and, more importantly, easier to actually use.
