Coaching English/media training

When producing videos, I have done media training to interviewees to achieve the best possible result. In addition, I coach English (oral and written) to individuals and students at universities.

Louvain La Neuve University

Teaching English (oral and written) to interpreting and translating students at Louvain La Neuve University.

Thomas More University

Teaching English editorial skills plus media/presentation skills (e.g. for Thomas More University journalism and international communications management students; for Université Saint Louis economics and politics students; guest lecture: for Vesalius College law students; in the past: for Members of the European Parliament (when interviewing them for videos for the European People’s Party), for trade union officials (when interviewing them for videos for the European Federation of Public Service Unions and lawyers (when interviewing them for videos for the law firm Bird & Bird)

Brussels Free University

Designing, running and teaching an academic writing workshop for 15 fellows at the Institut des Etudes Européennes of the Université Libre de Bruxelles [Brussels Free University’s Institute of European Studies] – October 2024.

A general presentation/talk on writing skills and what to focus on when looking to write in a reader-friendly manner, including the importance of knowing your target audience and writing clearly for that audience.

A more interactive part focussing on my suggested edits and comments on the abstracts for all 16 fellows (probably to be done in pairs or groups of four).

A final Q&A session on writing in general for their questions about their other writing assignments (chapters in books, their thesis, journal articles …)
