About Me

I've been teaching English as a second language in the UK since 1995, and in Brussels since 2018.

I'm offering courses tailored to your individual language learning needs, so I would like to discuss what and how you want to learn before starting lessons.

I'm an open, personable, creative person, and I like my lessons to be lively and enjoyable.
You can come to the lessons at my address in Ixelles, or I can travel to your home. Online lessons are also available.

I have experience teaching professionals from various occupations - public sector, EU institutions, law, business, engineering, and medicine.

My first career was in theatre and television, starting as an actor at the age of sixteen, writing and performing plays, and eventually running a community theatre company. I also spent some years as a location sound mixer for film and TV.

To reflect my experience in the creative sector, I can adapt lessons for people wishing to work in the English-speaking entertainments industry. For example, I offer actor's audition coaching, show-reel production, screenplay development, and performance skills workshops, as well as my regular English courses.

English courses for primary, secondary or university students
English is a primordial language, whether in Belgium or internationally. Having studied English during my bachelor's degree in Modern Languages and Letters, I had the opportunity to take an interest in all aspects of this language, whether the more scientific aspect (linguistics and sociolinguistics of English) but also literary analysis, spoken English as well as the cultural history of English-speaking countries. I therefore offer to give you lessons to improve your English, teach you how to interact, and help you understand sentence structures as well as conjugation.

Kevin
English classes & Proof-reading by friendly native speaker
Hello! I'm a native speaker with 10 years of experience in teaching English as a Second Language and Business English. I also offer proof-reading of essays, dissertations and business documents. My speciality is particularly with Europeans who are attempting to improve their level for commercial, educational or career reasons. A little about me: I'm Irish and recently moved back to Brussels - with my partner Filipa from Dublin and we are based in Uccle. I'm looking forward to meeting new students and can meet either in person in Brussels e.g. at ULB (University Libre de Bruxelles), or in the comfort of your home - to be discussed. As a backup online through Zoom, but much prefer in-person, as it achieves better results. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon. Kevin

Sofia
English
I give English classes. I put more on practice, than theory, as I believe that the best way to learn a language is to dive into the authentic atmosphere, and to embark. I am doing international relations in English in Budapest, I have level C1 in English. For me, the most important thing is to create an affection for the language, an interest for the English culture, so I use methods of play and fun. The language that is learned through art and music is my specialty.
