About Me

I am a Native English teacher raised in Greensboro, North Carolina and I specialize in written as well as spoken English. I focus on providing quality English Lessons by employing various methods tailored specifically towards each student .

I firstly ensure that all my students are at ease during the lessons so that they are comfortable in improving their language skills and achieve better results. As a native speaker, I teach English at both a general and academic level, which gives me a thorough grasp on all the necessary grammar rules and vocabulary required.

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.

I have spent my entire childhood and teenage life in the United States before moving to Brussels. I have taught in 4 different cities, where English is not the native language. My experience has enabled me to have a better understanding of different student personalities and cultural backgrounds. I can, as a result, fully adjust each lesson based on the student's needs.
