Approaching from a true native's perspective, I instruct and assist with both educational and business English in a multi-faceted nature covering a wide range of areas including comprehension, conversation, grammar, and situational skills, in addition to working on general language skills and accent training. As well, I can provide extensive help and training with the EPSO, IELTS, and TOEFL exams.

I have also written, edited or proofread a variety of academic papers, theses, applications, CVs, and other documents for numerous satisfied academic and professional clients.

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.

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.

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.

Dutch is a fun language with a rich history. You will master the basics very quickly! Would you like to speak the language a little more fluently? Then things quickly become a bit more challenging. Our Dutch course focuses on the acquisition of basic grammar and vocabulary. Then we move on to more advanced topics, tailored to your needs. This will help prepare you for your professional and academic challenges.

Many expats in Brussels live within the bilingual region or on the outskirts of Brussels. Often the choose to enrol their children in Dutch-speaking schools. Next to Brussels, Flanders is the economic hub of the country, with the most employment opportunities. In Belgium, it is therefore almost indispensable to speak this language to find work and settle in your (new) community.

Would you like to discover together which opportunities Dutch can offer you? We tailor this course to your needs, and we'll be sure to cover the most essential professional communication skills, cultural peculiarities you might encounter and all the much-needed topical vocabulary.

Hello! My name is Arina. I am a native Romanian and I have lived in UK for 5 years, both for studies and for work. I currently live in Belgium, but my main language at work and in my personal life is English.

This class is meant to help you speak English or Romanian at a conversational level. Whether you want to learn some basics or you want to improve your knowledge, you can contact me and we can find the best approach together. Since we all learn differently, I am open to find a more personalised way of helping you achieve your goals.

Bună! Numele meu este Arina. Sunt original din România și am locuit în Anglia timp de 5 ani, atât pentru studii, cât și pentru muncă. În prezent, locuiesc în Belgia, dar vorbesc în special engleză la locul de muncă și în viața personală.

Acest curs este menit să te ajute să vorbești engleza sau româna la nivel conversațional. Indiferent dacă vrei să înveți câteva noțiuni de bază sau vrei să-ți îmbunătățești cunoștințele, mă poți contacta și putem găsi împreună cea mai bună abordare. Fiecare dintre noi învățăm diferit, așa că sunt dispusă să găsesc o modalitate personalizată de a te ajuta să-ți atingi obiectivele.

I see my role more as a guide or tutor, someone who creates a supportive environment where students feel comfortable to learn and making mistakes. I enjoy working with students in a collaborative way: for example, giving them exercises or homework, and then going through the corrections together, so that the focus is not only on the result but also on the learning process.

Since I have taught Italian to foreign students in the past, I have developed an approach that emphasizes patience, clarity, and adaptability. I believe it is important to meet students where they are, to understand their individual needs, and to adjust my explanations accordingly. For me, being an "instructor" means encouraging curiosity, motivating students to engage actively, and helping them build confidence step by step.

Dutch can become natural for you too.

I have spoken Dutch since I was 2 years old.
Over time, I have not only kept this language: I have worked on it, perfected it and mastered it until it became a real asset.

This journey has allowed me to understand one essential thing:
👉 Dutch is learned much better when you experience it, rather than when you endure it.

A method that really works

I have helped many people learn Dutch, even those who thought they would "never succeed".
Thanks to a clear, progressive and effective teaching method, my students quickly gain confidence and fluency.

No unnecessary theory here:
We talk, we understand, we practice from the start.

For who ?

✔️ Beginners or false beginners
✔️ Students and professionals
✔️ Anyone who wants to learn without stress and with results

My objective

To show you that Dutch is not complicated, and to help you learn it simply, effectively and sustainably.
