I'm a teacher with over 12 years of teaching experience.

During my career, I've helped hundreds of students become fluent in Finnish.
Preparation for professional purposes, YKI, as well as oral fluency are my specialties.

Nowadays, I teach communications to native Finnish speakers at a university, while being a foreigner myself.
And I know exactly how to get your Finnish to the proper level too.

We are not going to waste your time on things you don't need. Instead, we will be practicing your speech and language comprehension skills.
Alongside, I will make sure you're familiar with the main grammatical concepts.
This will make you much more confident when speaking Finnish.

Ready to boost your Finnish to the next level? Let's get in touch!

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.

I am a PGCE and QTS-qualified primary teacher with experience teaching across KS1 and KS2 in British and international settings. I offer personalised tutoring to help children build confidence, strengthen their understanding and make progress in their learning.

Sessions can be tailored to your child’s individual needs and may focus on English, reading, writing, phonics, mathematics or science, as well as homework support and preparation for school assessments.

I use engaging, age-appropriate activities and adapt my teaching to each child, providing the right level of challenge and support. My aim is not simply to help children complete their work, but to help them become more confident and independent learners.

Materials:
I provide the learning materials required for each session, tailored to your child’s age, ability and individual learning needs. These may include teacher-created resources, worksheets, reading materials, phonics activities, interactive exercises and practical learning activities. Where appropriate, I may also use digital resources to make sessions engaging and interactive.

Curriculum Flexibility:
Although I have extensive experience teaching the British curriculum, my tutoring is not limited to one curriculum. I welcome children from a range of educational backgrounds and can adapt lessons to support their individual needs, whether they require help with English, mathematics, reading, writing, phonics or science. I also have experience teaching English as a second language (ESL) and can support children who are developing their English language skills alongside their wider learning. I am happy to work alongside your child’s current school programme to reinforce learning, address gaps in understanding or provide additional challenge.

Learn world history, international relations, and political science from a former U.S. diplomat with 16 years of professional experience in Asia, Africa, and Washington, D.C.

This class is designed for high school and university students, adult learners, and anyone interested in developing a deeper understanding of how international affairs, politics, economics, and diplomacy actually work. Lessons can be tailored to your interests, academic coursework, or professional goals.

Topics can include international relations and foreign policy; diplomacy and negotiation; the United Nations and other international organizations; U.S. government and foreign policy; international security; global economic and technology issues; cross-cultural communication; and the relationship between history and current world events.

My teaching style emphasizes understanding and discussion rather than simply memorizing facts. We'll examine why countries and leaders make the choices they do, how governments negotiate and cooperate, and how historical and cultural factors shape today's world.

Before transitioning into education, I served for 16 years as a U.S. Foreign Service Officer, with assignments in China, Indonesia, Madagascar, Chad, and Washington, D.C. I have also taught English in China and Japan, served as a graduate teaching assistant in international relations at American University, and taught undergraduate students at the University of Maryland.

Whether you're preparing for a class or exam, considering a career in international affairs, or simply want to understand world events more deeply, I will tailor our lessons to your interests and goals.
