Hello! I am originally from Washington, D.C., in the U.S. but currently live in Madrid, Spain. I have a very neutral accent. My background is in communications and business. My degrees are in public relations and professional writing. I also ran a chamber of commerce and worked as a public speaker for years.

I have been teaching via Skype for years and can help you improve your conversation, pronunciation, and grammar skills. Many people are nervous about Skype, but once they try it, they love it! We can share a screen and read, watch videos, and take online quizzes.

About Me
I am originally from Washington, D.C., but now live in Madrid, Spain. I moved when my two children left for university. It was time for a new adventure! I love to travel, meet new people, and have new experiences. Some of my other hobbies include writing, hiking, photography, art, and reading.

I have been teaching various subjects for over 26 years including child development, healthcare issues, yoga, business, health (addiction, healthy eating, internet safety, anti-bullying to teens), and English. I was even a tour guide and taught about the history of Baltimore, Maryland.

I am a native American English speaking instructor, editor, journalist, and legal/policy expert from Florida specializing in instruction, interview and exam prep, consulting and text correction for a wide range of professionals & students across Belgium including in the legal, academic, policy, and other fields. I am available to meet in both Brussels.

My past & present clients have included: professionals and politicians from all four major EU institutions, the Belgian government, the UNHCR, and various NGOs, alongside diplomats, doctors, journalists, and engineers, as well as a variety of other professions in addition to traditional students..I have had over 35+ repeat students on Apprentus (which recently changed their algorithm to only display the last six months).

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 spent my entire childhood and adult life in the United States before completing a master's degree in Political Science and European Politics at KU Leuven. Additionally, I also possess Bachelor's degrees in Political Science and History. I have an extensive knowledge and experience of English grammar and literature, as well as current and past working experience in journalism (Anti-Competition Law and European Policy at the Policy and Regulatory Report) and both European and American politics.

I have no problem meeting anywhere in Brussels or further afield within the region. I also handle correction of text, editing, proofreading and ghostwriting, with weekly and monthly rates possible. My transportation costs are included.
