Creative Writing: Reading and Workshopping Poetry in English

From 48.32 C$ /h

Poetry is a powerful creative outlet, a deeply rewarding practice, and an avenue to practice the English language at a high conceptual level. For the young or old student who is seeking to read and discuss poetry in English, as well as write and workshop their own creative writing in a structured and positive environment, this is the perfect course. Readings will primarily be selected from contemporary and 20th century American and English poets. This course can be adapted for younger students with skill-appropriate material.

About me: I was recognized as an outstanding Yale Student Poet in my graduating year, with my writing put in a chapbook alongside other students. I took multiple poetry writing courses at university and have self-published two zines of my writing, funded by Yale.

If you are wanting to improve your English or are struggling with your exams/coursework. I am a qualified TEFL teacher and also a native English speaker.

Dear All,

Whether you are new to learning the French language, whether you wish to enrich your knowledge or whether you are aiming for its oral, written and literary mastery, I will be happy to share my passion for the French language with you. I offer private lessons adapted to your current level and your ambitions, in a pleasant and friendly atmosphere.

We will cover these four key chapters together through a continuous, methodical and participatory learning process:

- Grammar;
- Vocabulary;
- Punctuation; and
- Oral pronunciation.

It should be noted that the course dedicated to beginners includes a detailed and complete introduction of one hour preparing for the development of the four chapters mentioned above.

In a more personalized approach and at your request, we can also address and deepen more specific topics, such as:

- the syntax ;
- the analysis of text(s);
- literary genres;
- the history of the language and its roots (Greco-Latin);
- the linguistic and communicational specificities within the Francophonie;
- reading a book of your choice or my recommendation (from "The Little Prince" by Saint-Exupéry to "Un Amour de Swann" by Marcel Proust).

The private lessons that I offer you can, of course, be part of the continuity or the reinforcement of academic courses that you would already follow at school, at the University or elsewhere. As such, your personal media will be welcome (books, notebooks, sheets, etc.).

Hoping to be able to contribute to your learning, I remain at your disposal for any further information and wish you much success in your efforts.

Yours sincerely,

Stephane
