Mr Engelman has been active in education for over thirty years, i.e. lecturing, monitoring, editing, and coaching students, with a specific and thorough expertise in all aspects related to communication in English (writing, speaking, reading, listening), as well as in Dutch, both at highly-educated native-speaker level; additionally, very good passive knowledge of German and French - active command of these may need brushing up.
