King's College Literature MA graduate giving bespoke, individually tailored English Language and Literature classesTranslate this text using Google Translate.

I have a track record of helping 11+, GCSE, A-Level and IB students improve their grades by at least two marks, and many of my students have graduated in the top 1% of their class. I also have considerable experience with helping students write personal statements which (given they've met the grading requirements) have secured them a place in Russel Group universities including Oxbridge. As an editor and writer, I also provide lessons in creative writing. I tutor clients in areas ranging from: - A Level - English Literature and Language - GCSE – English Literature and Language - Pre-GCSE (KS1,2 and 3) – English - Undergraduate Degree Level – English - 11+ (English, Verbal Reasoning) In the first lesson, I provide a detailed assessment of every student. I start by gauging what my student feels they need help with and what they see as their strengths and weaknesses. Then, together, we will come up with a detailed study plan. I have tried and tested methods of preparing students for their exams whether it be helping them understand essay technique, close reading of texts, understanding literary techniques, preparing revision material or learning how to speak and/or write persuasively. According to the needs of the student, I can also assign homework so that the student can maintain their engagement with the topic until the next session. I believe everyone learns differently, and it is my responsibility as a tutor to understand the tutee's learning style so that I can tailor my lessons to the student at hand. This gives them a better chance at grasping linguistic and literary concepts, and, as a result, reaching their full potential.

English Prep Tutoring for Primary to Advanced LearnersTranslate this text using Google Translate.

English Prep Tutoring for Primary to Advanced LearnersTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Graduating with a First in English Literature in 2017 from Trinity College, Cambridge, I have tutored 250+ hours in the past two years, at all levels from 7+ to A-Level, and in exam boards from AQA to the UKISET for international students. I have taught both English and international students, and so am familiar with the varieties of difficulty that students can encounter and a variety of approaches for addressing them. I enjoy re-examining the elementals of the subject through tutoring. My students have all registered often substantial improvements and I continue to be asked back by different families if they feel they need a boost. I'm happy to provide references from students and parents. I have taught a variety of age ranges for school admissions from 7 to 13+. I have worked with students aiming for schools including Godolphin and Latymer, Harrodian, Kings Canterbury and Wycombe Abbey. The problems students have had have varied each time, from simple confidence and time-keeping issues, to more difficult ones like English being a second language or dyslexia. However every pupil I’ve taught so far has markedly improved and gained admission to at least one of the schools of their choice. I think my main strength as a tutor is an ability to explain concepts dealing with question structure and exam technique, and help the student to gently internalise them and gain their own confidence. I aim to strike a balance between engaging, personal commitment to making the student see and realise an organic interest in reading and writing, alongside the necessity of navigating exam requirements - but without making them seem restrictive or daunting. I really enjoy trying to individualise lessons for the student's specific needs and so will also try to stoke a personal interest and response to material studied, as I believe this makes for a much more enjoyable and painless process of learning. I am always keen to recommend or discuss specific books or authors of possible help or interest to students or parents. I aim to strike a balance between engaging, personal commitment to making the student see and realise an interest in reading and writing, alongside the necessity of navigating exam strictures and requirements - without making them seem restrictive or off-putting. I can also help with general essay-structuring/researching/writing skills in subjects not related to English. I can also help with Drama and Theatre-related studies.

Spanish Literature to Improve Your Spanish: Language, Culture and Great AuthorsTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Would you like to improve your Spanish while discovering some of the fundamental works, authors, and ideas of Spanish literature? This class combines advanced Spanish learning with the study of Spanish literature and culture, in a dynamic, participatory environment adapted to the level and objectives of each student. The sessions are taught by a university professor specializing in Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE) and an examiner accredited by the Cervantes Institute, with extensive experience in teaching Spanish to foreign students. We will work with literary texts from different eras and authors—from the classics to contemporary literature—to develop not only your reading comprehension, but also your ability to express yourself with greater precision, richness, and naturalness in Spanish. What will we be working on? 📖 Reading and analysis of Spanish literary texts. 🇪🇸 Culture, history and society through literature. 🗣️ Conversation and oral expression based on literary texts and themes. ✍️ Advanced level vocabulary, structures and linguistic resources. 🔎 Analysis of the language, style and meaning of the works. 💬 Debate and argumentation in Spanish. 🎓 Preparation and development of communicative skills specific to academic contexts. The class is especially suitable for intermediate-high and advanced Spanish students, university students, professionals and people with academic or cultural interests who want to deepen their knowledge of the language. You don't need to be a literature expert. The goal is for you to learn Spanish through literature, gain a deeper understanding of Spanish culture, and enjoy great works while developing a more sophisticated command of the language. A class for those who want to go beyond everyday Spanish If you already have a good foundation in Spanish and want to move towards a more precise, cultured, natural and academic use of the language, this class will allow you to work on the language from a different perspective, combining linguistic learning, literature, thought and culture.

Speak English with Confidence — Conversation PracticeTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Speak English with Confidence — Conversation PracticeTranslate this text using Google Translate.

In this class, we practice conversational English by diving into the stories we love. Instead of dry grammar drilling, our focus is on natural discussion centered on books, writing, cinema, and television. We can chat about characters, narrative themes, storylines, or simply discuss the stories that interest you. We can also read and discuss short book excerpts or script pieces together, depending on your interests. As a writer, I'm especially interested in how language creates emotion, reveals personality, and brings stories to life. Together, we'll explore not only what characters say, but why they say it that way, and how you can use natural expressions to sound more confident in your own English. Don't worry — you don't need to be a literary critic to enjoy these lessons. We use stories as a starting point for conversation, not as an excuse to overanalyze every page or scene. Whether you enjoy discussing your favourite novel, breaking down an unforgettable movie scene, or simply chatting about fictional worlds, the goal is to create a relaxed environment where English feels alive and enjoyable. It's all about enjoying the language instead of seeing it as something intimidating. I will correct your mistakes when appropriate, but mistakes are a natural and valuable part of learning. They help us identify what to improve and build lasting confidence. Every lesson is tailored to your interests, goals, and pace. The aim is to help you build real-world speaking confidence, expand your vocabulary, and enjoy using English in a relaxed, friendly environment. MULTILINGUAL LISTENING SUPPORT If you get stuck, you are welcome to use your native language when necessary. I have passive listening and reading comprehension of Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and German, in addition to being a native Serbian speaker. Our lessons and explanations will primarily be conducted in English or Serbian. ONLINE LESSONS Lessons are conducted via Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, depending on your preference. We can use screen sharing and digital materials when they are useful for the lesson.

“ I have been taking online Spanish lessons with Javier, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He is an excellent professional and a genuinely engaging person. What I value most is that Javier always finds topics that truly interest me, which makes every lesson enjoyable and motivating. The classes never feel generic or routine — they are tailored to my interests, goals, and level, so learning feels natural and dynamic. I clearly feel that I am progressing in Spanish. My confidence in speaking has grown significantly, my vocabulary is expanding, and grammar becomes easier to understand thanks to his clear explanations and practical examples. He creates a comfortable and supportive atmosphere where it’s easy to speak without fear of making mistakes. Javier is patient, attentive, well-prepared, and always encouraging. Lessons are well structured but flexible at the same time, which makes them both effective and engaging. I highly recommend Javier to anyone who wants to improve their Spanish in a meaningful, enjoyable, and professional way. ”

“ We are very happy with the French lessons Awni gives to our 14-year-old daughter. He is very flexible and adapts the lessons perfectly to her needs and level! He places special focus on pronunciation, vocabulary, listening skills, and conversation, while introducing interesting topics that make the lessons engaging and enjoyable. He is also willing to adjust the lessons to the homework and topics covered at school, which has been extremely helpful for her progress and confidence in French. Our daughter genuinely enjoys the lessons because Awni is motivating, clear, patient, and kind. He creates a positive atmosphere that makes learning fun and effective at the same time!! We highly recommend him as a French teacher! ”
