Personalized English Tutoring for Children, Teens & Adults

From 52.1 £ /h

English can feel intimidating, but with the right support it becomes a skill you can feel confident using every day. I offer personalized English tutoring for children, teenagers, and adults of all levels, whether you’re learning English for school, work, or everyday conversation.

My lessons focus on building confidence as well as strong foundations. Depending on your needs, we can work on speaking and conversation skills, pronunciation, listening and comprehension, reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary development. I also provide support with homework, exams, and school assignments, helping students feel more comfortable and prepared in class.

With over 10 years of tutoring experience, I adapt each lesson to the student’s age, level, goals, and learning style. My approach is patient, encouraging, and practical, creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable making progress at their own pace.

About Me

• Hi! I’m Jena, an experienced English tutor based in Brussels with 10+ years of experience working with children, teens, and adults of all levels.

• My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and adaptable. I focus on building confidence first, because when students feel comfortable, real learning follows naturally.

• I tailor every lesson to the student; whether that means help with schoolwork, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, or conversation practice. No one-size-fits-all lessons here.

• I especially enjoy working with students who feel shy, stuck, or unsure about their English. I aim to create a relaxed, supportive environment where mistakes are welcome and progress feels achievable.

• For younger learners, I keep lessons engaging and confidence-building; for teens and adults, I focus on practical, real-life English they can actually use.

• A little about me outside of tutoring: I love cooking and baking, going for a run to clear my head, and listening to music...and I’m always happy to weave real-life topics and interests into lessons to keep things fun and relevant.

• Lessons are available in person in Brussels or online, and I’m always happy to discuss goals and learning preferences before getting started.

Graduate teacher offers an individualized pedagogy, assistance with the preparation of questions or exams. My goal is to advance the student without overburdening him.

I have more than three years of experience as an English teacher in schools, English language academies, businesses and private lessons. In general I teach with maximum effort that the student expresses himself as much as possible in English so that he can have a better mastery of the language.

Native French speaker, I've followed in Dutch education till my master that I finished in French. Therefore, I am a perfect bilingual.

The first objective is to learn / review the basics of French with the student, grammar, and a precise vocabulary.
Depending on the objectives set by the student, I can prepare appropriate lessons / materials for the courses.

Mathematics is present everywhere in our life. I will make sure to explain to the student what he does not understand and I will try to make him do exercises to test his understanding. I am open to any kind of proposal and if ever my student would prefer to do otherwise, I could adapt. For me, the most important thing is that my student does not undergo a course but takes advantage of it to fill in his gaps.

Hey you! Do you want to learn English or improve it? You are in the right place!
English is one of the most common and useful languages in the world, whether for work, travelling, watching series in original version, understanding your favorite American or English star...

What? An English course for both beginners and advanced, both for children and adults... we discover the basics of the language, grammar and useful vocabulary in a fun way, or we deepen these knowledge, with some revisions if necessary. Obviously, we will tackle all skills: reading, writing, speaking and hearing.

Who? I'm Julie, a fan of languages, I've already mastered almost four, and I always want to discover new ones. English has (almost) no more secrets for me. I'm also a photographer and a photography teacher on the side, so I have a background in building lessons with lots of practice.

How? For one to two hours (two hours recommended to progress more efficiently), I always prepare my lessons specially and in an up-to-date way, using recent articles, relevant and useful vocabulary on a daily basis. Classes are currently only taking place online, as I am not in Belgium.

When? Well, whenever you want! As soon as possible, to improve your English tomorrow!

So what are you waiting for?

Hello everyone!
My name is Maria, a Venezuelan musician residing in Belgium. In the world of art, languages and cultures are a fundamental part of being able to understand each other and connect with each other in order to create something beautiful together, in my case music. Apart from being an artist, I like languages and learning them has become a passion for me, which is why I decided to take this passion to another level.

During my classes I want to help you learn my native language, which is Latin American Spanish, in a personalized and dynamic way.
The classes are separated by levels (A0-B2), where you will learn the grammar of the language but also vocabulary and expressions to use on a daily basis with other speakers of the language.
My idea is that each student learns the language at their own pace but understanding and daring to speak it from the first day. Support material (book, exercises, audios, etc) is always included.

Classes can be individual or in groups, both online and in person (Brussels, Belgium).
Classes will be given in English and Spanish.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
I hope to see you soon and start discovering and learning this beautiful language!

Greetings,
Maria.

¡Hola a todos!
Mi nombre es Maria, musico Venezolana residiendo en Bélgica. En el mundo del arte, los idiomas y las culturas son parte fundamental para poder entendernos entre cada artista y conectar para poder crear algo hermoso juntos, en mi caso la música. Aparte de ser artista me gusta los idiomas y aprenderlos se ha convertido en una pasión para mi, por eso he decidió llevar esta pasión a otro nivel.

Durante mis clases quiero ayudarte a aprender de una forma personalizada y dinámica mi lengua natal, que es el español latinoamericano.
Las clases están separadas por niveles (A0-B2), en donde aprenderás la gramática de la lengua pero también vocabulario y expresiones para usar en el día a día con otros hablantes de la lengua.
Mi idea es que cada alumno aprenda el idioma a su ritmo pero entendiendo y atreviéndose a hablarlo desde el primer día. Material de apoyo (libro, ejercicios, audios, etc) está incluido siempre.

Las clases pueden ser individuales o en grupos, tanto online como en persona (Bruselas, Bélgica).
Clases se darán en Ingles y español.

No dudes en contactarme si tienes alguna pregunta.
¡Espero verte pronto y comenzar a descubrir y aprender este hermoso idioma!

Saludos,
Maria.

I offer my services to help your children achieve their academic goals, whether it is for the little ones who are discovering reading and writing, or for teenagers in the middle of preparing for exams. I also have experience with university students who needed a helping hand in certain subjects.
Patient and attentive, I adapt to the specific needs of each student, offering them personalized support to help them progress at their own pace and with confidence.
In terms of education, I followed a Preparatory Class for the Grandes Écoles in France (literature, philosophy, history, geography and languages), and obtained a bachelor's degree in English Language, Literature and Civilization. I then continued with a master's degree in British and American translation and civilization. I had the chance to work for two years at the Lycée Français Jean Monnet in Brussels, where I acquired solid experience with students of all ages and a good understanding of the expectations of the school system.
I would be happy to discuss this with you and see how I can contribute to its success.

My name is Guy, and I am a Brit/Belgian currently living near Mérode in Etterbeek, Brussels.
I can offer beginner/intermediate/advanced classes, conversation classes, and can help students pass their English language exams. I am happy to do it online, at your place, or at my place. It's never too soon or late to learn or improve your English skills which is why I'm available for all age ranges.
I will be available as of 25 February 2025 to give lessons to you or your children.
I have taught English before to Italian and Belgian children (aged 7-12) which has vastly improved their writing and oral skills at school. Some were complete beginners, some had trouble with pronunciation, and were always grateful for the help I gave them.
A little bit about myself: I am 31 years old, bilingual (English and French), speak Italian, some Dutch, and I'm currently studying Slovenian at the ULB in Brussels. I play a bit of saxophone too!
