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.

Biology, physics, chemistry and French and English. The best study results are achieved with regular study and keeping up with the study material. Lack of sufficient basis for progress can be remedied. Through years of experience I have developed a coaching method in which the pupil, student or coachee as a person is central with an eye for context and specific circumstances.

Hi! I’m a triplelingual Korean–Japanese–English instructor with years of experience in teaching, translation, and interpretation.

Every class is fully personalised to your needs: whether you’re preparing for an exam, a daily conversation, or professional use, etc.

What you’ll get:
1. Step-by-step grammar practice: Solid knowledge of grammar is key to understanding a language.
2. Choose your preferred accent: British accent vs. American accent.
As I am from both backgrounds, you can choose and see the difference.

I especially enjoy working with students who:
1. Are curious about learning new things
2. Want to sound more natural
3. Prefer patient, encouraging guidance rather than pressure

Let’s start where you are and grow from there!

I was born and raised in Ghent, Belgium, and spent my formative years in the UK, where I graduated in Modern Languages—Chinese and French—from The University of Westminster in London. After completing my studies, I spent two decades in Asia, primarily in Greater China. Now back "home", as a full time dad of two princesses who have Chinese heritage, communicating in various languages - sometimes in one sentence - is just part of our day.

With hands-on teaching experience in China, the UK, and Belgium, I adopt an engaging and intuitive approach to language learning. I tutor English, French, and Mandarin Chinese, applying the same creativity I used in my past career, which involved leading teams, crafting brand stories, and working across cultures.

My sessions are customised to meet each student’s specific needs and interests. They combine real-world context, clear structure, and inspiring storytelling—making them ideal for professionals, students, or anyone eager to enhance their language skills with a tutor who truly understands how communication works across different languages.

Embark on a fun and interactive Mandarin journey with a native speaker! Whether you’re a complete beginner or want to polish your pronunciation, this class is all about learning Mandarin naturally while enjoying the process.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree from Beijing Normal University, China’s No.1 institution for teacher education and Chinese language studies, and I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Chinese Studies at Ghent University. I speak Standard Mandarin with perfect and accent-free pronunciation (PSC Level 1-B), and have experience teaching international students as a teaching assistant at Ghent University.

Every class is tailored to your interests and goals. We can:

Practice natural pronunciation and conversation skills
Explore Chinese culture, expressions, and idioms
Prepare for HSK exams if desired

I believe learning Mandarin should be fun, engaging, and stress-free. Expect lively conversations, helpful tips, and practical homework to track your progress — all in a relaxed, enjoyable environment.

Conversation lessons focus on real exchange:
- discussing topics that interest you

Academic writing support is based on your own texts (essays, papers, theses, dissertations):
- improving clarity, structure, and coherence
- refining style and tone
- correcting grammar and idiomatic usage
- developing a more professional, natural written voice

Lessons can take place online, in a public space, or at the student’s home in Ghent, Brussels, and nearby areas.

As a native English speaker and a published author with over five years of teaching experience, I offer structured, supportive lessons tailored to each student’s goals. I hold a Master’s degree from the University of California, Berkeley and bring particular attention to pronunciation, written voice and spoken fluency.

Conversational Spanish - Talk, Connect, Improve

Join a relaxed conversation table designed to get you speaking Spanish with confidence. Instead of grammar drills, we focus on real conversation: talking about everyday topics, sharing opinions, and practicing the language the way it's actually spoken.

You'll get gentle, in-the-moment corrections so you can fix mistakes without losing the flow of the conversation. Over time, this builds fluency naturally, and you'll start to feel more comfortable expressing yourself instead of translating in your head.

As a native Spanish speaker from Mexico, I'll also introduce you to the richness of Latin American accents, expressions, and culture, so you're not just learning "textbook Spanish," but the language as it lives across the continent.

What you'll get:

- A supportive space to practice speaking without fear of judgment
- Real-time corrections on pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary
- Exposure to different Latin American accents and cultural context
- Practical, everyday conversation topics that build genuine fluency

Whether you're a beginner looking to build confidence or already comfortable but want to sound more natural, this course meets you where you are.
