Megan exemplifies exceptional tutoring qualities, showcasing a remarkable intellect, utmost compassion, and unwavering understanding. With extensive depth of knowledge in my chosen field of study, her academic writing is excellent, and she consistently provides prompt feedback. I highly recommend her.
Poetry is a powerful creative outlet, a deeply rewarding practice, and an avenue to practice the English language at a high conceptual level. For the young or old student who is seeking to read and discuss poetry in English, as well as write and workshop their own creative writing in a structured and positive environment, this is the perfect course. Readings will primarily be selected from contemporary and 20th century American and English poets. This course can be adapted for younger students with skill-appropriate material. About me: I was recognized as an outstanding Yale Student Poet in my graduating year, with my writing put in a chapbook alongside other students. I took multiple poetry writing courses at university and have self-published two zines of my writing, funded by Yale.
English language tutoring from a Native English speaker— adaptable to all levels. I am an American based in Antwerp, working at a university teaching English literature classes. I graduated from an Ivy League university in America and have extensive experience tutoring both young kids and adults in writing and other school subjects. I can offer tutoring in English for those learning it as a second language, whether you are a beginner or looking to perfect your fluency in reading and writing. Please write to me so that we may adapt a tutoring plan to meet your specific needs— the tutoring fee is negotiable based on the student's age and level. I am also open to group lessons if that is a fit for you.
Academic tutoring in English for the beginner, intermediate, or advanced student seeking to improve their English, achieve greater fluency, or perform better in the classroom. Specific skills include grammar, vocabulary, academic and/or creative writing, and essay writing. Lessons will be tailored to the students' relative skill and desired areas of improvement. Re: essay writing, I have experience editing academic papers for publication, tutoring/editing Masters' papers and dissertations, and direct experience as a teacher/grader for students at the Bachelors level. I am a native English speaker from America! I attended Yale University and graduated in the spring of 2023 with a Bachelors' in Ethnicity, Race, & Migration. For students seeking to attend university in America, I will be particularly helpful as I am well-experienced in the college application process and have mentored students in personal essay writing. For students seeking to generally improve their English, note that these will be immersive sessions with no Dutch, French, or otherwise.

General and Academic English taught by a Native Speaker and Editor
I am a native English speaker from USA and I specialize in teaching, exam preparation, instruction and text correction for several students and professionals residing in Belgium. With experience in 4 different cities across Europe and Asia, I take a multidimensional approach to my classes, tutoring and assisting with both Academic and Business English, to ensure that all my students are at ease during the lessons which results in faster improvements and undeniable results. The lessons cover various topics, mainly focusing on comprehension, reading techniques, writing skills, grammar, vocabulary, and day to day conversation along with accent training and basic language skills. My former clients include students from middle school, high school and college as well as professionals from various occupations. I have worked with them to improve their spoken and written English. I also tutor clients who want to improve their English at an academic level for exams such as the SAT, IELTs, EPSO and TOEFL. These include high school students, college students as well as professionals, ranging from engineers to young interns at the EU parliament. I assist with exam based preparation to achieve the desired results and my clients have not been disappointed so far. I have further proofread, edited, written and improved a large amount of essays, college applications, theses, personal statements, and assignments for various clients at an academic level. I like to make my lessons interesting, but at the same time, I make sure that they are as productive as possible. With a thorough understanding and experience of English grammar and literature, I further take care of ghost writing, proof reading and editing of academic and professional papers. Weekly and monthly rates are possible in this case. I have no issues meeting anywhere in Brussels, or at a location or town close to the city.

Private French classes for all levels and all ages
Dear All, Whether you are new to learning the French language, whether you wish to enrich your knowledge or whether you are aiming for its oral, written and literary mastery, I will be happy to share my passion for the French language with you. I offer private lessons adapted to your current level and your ambitions, in a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. We will cover these four key chapters together through a continuous, methodical and participatory learning process: - Grammar; - Vocabulary; - Punctuation; and - Oral pronunciation. It should be noted that the course dedicated to beginners includes a detailed and complete introduction of one hour preparing for the development of the four chapters mentioned above. In a more personalized approach and at your request, we can also address and deepen more specific topics, such as: - the syntax ; - the analysis of text(s); - literary genres; - the history of the language and its roots (Greco-Latin); - the linguistic and communicational specificities within the Francophonie; - reading a book of your choice or my recommendation (from "The Little Prince" by Saint-Exupéry to "Un Amour de Swann" by Marcel Proust). The private lessons that I offer you can, of course, be part of the continuity or the reinforcement of academic courses that you would already follow at school, at the University or elsewhere. As such, your personal media will be welcome (books, notebooks, sheets, etc.). Hoping to be able to contribute to your learning, I remain at your disposal for any further information and wish you much success in your efforts. Yours sincerely, Stephane
