Private English lessons in higher education
Understanding a course taught in English, passing an oral exam, preparing a language test: an English coach who works on your own courses, at home anywhere in Belgium or online.
When English becomes the language of your courses
In many programmes, part of the reading, course notes or lectures is in English. Secondary school English is enough to follow, rarely enough to read a scientific article quickly or defend a point of view orally.
Other students have a full English course, with a written and an oral exam, or must sit a language test before an Erasmus exchange.
The coach starts from your documents and your deadlines: the vocabulary of your field, the structure of academic writing, speaking. Sessions adapt to your timetable and revision period.

English in higher education: your questions
Yes. The coach then works on your documents: the course notes, the articles to read, past exam questions if you have them. The goal is to understand the material and be able to explain it in English.
Yes. Preparation covers the test format as much as the language: listening and reading comprehension, writing to a brief, speaking and time management. Check with your institution which test and which level are required.
From €40/h, like all private lessons in higher education. The number of sessions depends on your starting level and the deadline: your educational advisor sends you a quote, with no commitment.
As early as possible in the term. Speaking with ease is built by speaking every week: a few regular sessions prepare you better than a block just before the exam.
