About Me
I've been teaching English as a second language in the UK since 1995, and in Brussels since 2018.I'm offering courses tailored to your individual language learning needs, so I would like to discuss what and how you want to learn before starting lessons.
I'm an open, personable, creative person, and I like my lessons to be lively and enjoyable.
You can come to the lessons at my address in Ixelles, or I can travel to your home. Online lessons are also available.
I have experience teaching professionals from various occupations - public sector, EU institutions, law, business, engineering, and medicine.
My first career was in theatre and television, starting as an actor at the age of sixteen, writing and performing plays, and eventually running a community theatre company. I also spent some years as a location sound mixer for film and TV.
To reflect my experience in the creative sector, I can adapt lessons for people wishing to work in the English-speaking entertainments industry. For example, I offer actor's audition coaching, show-reel production, screenplay development, and performance skills workshops, as well as my regular English courses.

Informal English conversation with former BBC journalistSessions 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?

English courses for primary, secondary or university studentsEnglish 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.

Holder of a Master in Translation (English / Chinese) from the Translation and Interpretation Department of the ULB (formerly ISTI), I offer English courses in the Uccle area.
