Informal English conversation with former BBC journalist

Sessions can revolve around absolutely anything you want!

I worked for BBC World Service radio as a journalist writing and broadcasting international news programmes, for a long time. I am very keen to help you become more confident, comfortable and understood using your English.

I think confidence and enjoyment of learning are crucial to improving. I have a lot of experience working closely with people for who English was not a first language - you can ask me anything about the language and I will do my best to help.

We can concentrate on spoken or written English and chat informally in English about specific topics that you choose to improve your fluency and confidence.

I can help you with your studies or perhaps you have a speech that you have to make in English or maybe there's specific vocabulary that you wish to improve on?

Nell
English courses for primary, secondary or university students
English is a primordial language, whether in Belgium or internationally. Having studied English during my bachelor's degree in Modern Languages and Letters, I had the opportunity to take an interest in all aspects of this language, whether the more scientific aspect (linguistics and sociolinguistics of English) but also literary analysis, spoken English as well as the cultural history of English-speaking countries. I therefore offer to give you lessons to improve your English, teach you how to interact, and help you understand sentence structures as well as conjugation.
