    English & Portuguese Tutor with 11+ Years of Experience in Leuven

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    Hi there! I'm an experienced English and Portuguese tutor with over 11 years of teaching under my belt.

    - I completed high school in the USA and hold a specialization in Legal English.
    - I've taught more than 500 students at various language schools, where I was trained in a range of teaching methodologies.

    I offer customized lessons for:
    - Proficiency tests (TESOL, TOEFL, etc.)
    - Job interviews
    - Business English
    - Travel English
    - Legal English
    - General English for everyday life

    - Personalized Lessons, Just for You
    I believe every student is unique. That's why I don't rely on standard textbooks. Instead, I tailor each lesson to your specific goals, level, and interests.

    From day one, you'll be speaking in English! We'll talk about everything—especially the topics you enjoy most. While we focus on conversation, we'll also work on grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and current events to sharpen your argumentation skills.

    Want to learn Portuguese? I teach that too!
    I'm also a certified Dutch speaker, which helps me understand the challenges of learning a new language.

    Let's make your language learning journey effective, dynamic, and fun!

We'll have funny discussions and I'll show you that French is not that difficult. Having langages skills looks great on a CV but also enables you to show off to your friends and family.

    Hi everyone, I am a Belgian student, currently, I'm in my first master's year at the KULeuven. I chose a master's in 'Rehabilitation sciences and physiotherapy specialization musculoskeletal disorders'. During my bachelor years, I developed a very good basic knowledge of science subjects and mathematics: I studied statistics for 3 years, molecular cell biology, chemistry, physics, biomechanics, biochemistry and anatomy. The quality of teaching of both the University of Leuven as the high school I went to (Heilig Hartcollege Tervuren) is something I am very happy/thankful for. I would love to share the education and the knowledge I acquired by supporting and teaching you or your child/teen. I would consider it as a sort of study pathway counseling. As I already have a bachelor's degree in one of the highest-ranked universities in Europe, I have a broad knowledge of quite some subjects. I have a lot of experience working with children and teenagers, I have been a leader in a Scout for children aged 12 to 18. I have also been a tutor for 5 years now. I love working with other people as I am a very social, empathic, and motivated person. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have more questions about the topics and fields of study that I can cover, or if you have a special inquiry I currently live in Belgium. Lessons can be taught in English or Dutch. I hope to meet you soon and start working on enhancing those performances! Kind regards, Natalia

    Economics classes for University level students will be based on student's needs (some suggestions: Econometrics, Microeconomics, Quantitative Economics). For school students, it can involve advanced learning or basic Economic knowledge (aligned to student's needs). English classes will involve writing and speaking practice (based on the student's existing knowledge). I tend to explain things pretty well. I always try to assign homework for further practice. Times can be discussed with me and I do accommodate students based on mutual availability.
