History, Political Science, Essay writing, Test Prep Tutoring

From 69.98 C$ /h

Having worked in an alternative school, my approach is very much based on the understanding and ways of learning of each student. Rather than imposing a specific method on the student I try and understand how they work, how they understand the subject and what the university or school requires of them, and help them improve in the areas needed.

I specialize in tutoring History and Political Science for school (iGCSE, A-LEVEL, IB) and university (Bachelors). I teach both content and form (essay writing and exam prep skills).

About Me

I am an open, multicultural person who thrives on social encounters and intellectual discussion. I was trained in an alternative pedagogical method which focuses on cultivating autonomy in the student in an environment free of fear. As such, trust and respect between the student and the teacher is of vital importance if learning is to occur.

History Private Tuition by Native Speaker - A Levels and IB

59.99 C$ /h

I specialise in History A Level (Edexcel and AQA) and IB. I am an english native speaker with three years teaching experience in an alternative boarding school in Hampshire and work with a distinctive teaching style adapted to each student's needs and personality.

Rather than trying to cram in a bunch of facts I approach history as a curiosity: what makes it interesting? why is it relevant to our lives today? Why, indeed, do they say that history always repeats itself - is it that we can never learn from the past?

These are the kind of meta-questions that will run through our classes most of which will be discussion based and will include homework, short exercises, co-marking and assignment of additional readings to complement your syllabus.

Growing up bilingual in German and English was as challenging as it was exciting and an experience that inspired my love for languages. Now I would love to share my knowledge on effortlessly mastering the ins and outs of these two infamous languages with you!

The lessons are hands-on, easily understandable and true-to-life, so you can go and use what you've learned right away. Moreover, I like to customise the lessons to the topics and hobbies that interest you so that we can build progress on familiar sole, have you make better connections to the language and have an overall better learning experience.

If it works with your schedule, I would also strongly recommend that we make homework a part of your class structure.

I am confident we can use whatever foundation and experiences you have to help you meet your language goals - whether you just want to smooth out the kinks or start from the very beginning.

You and I can figure this out together!

Experiència de més de 20 anys donant classes d'anglès i català a grups reduïts d'ESO i Batxillerat i classes de repàs en el sector de les Humanitats.
Doy clases de inglés desde hace muchos años. He impartido a grupos reducidos y a particulares de repaso (ESO y Bachillerato). Me desplazo. Busco estabilidad y continuidad para todo el curso. Enseñar es mi vocación.

Por las mañanas trabajo en una empresa de telemárketing en BCN en un ambiente multicultural donde el inglés es nuestra lengua vehicular y a partir de las 16h tengo disponibilidad.

Actualmente soy profesor de inglés en la Academia English Studio, en Cornellà de Llobregat en turno de tardes. Todos los niveles y edades. Barajo la posibilidad de dedicarme a la docencia también en horario de mañana, siempre y cuando la oferta para este horario fuera de mi interés. En el turno de tarde soy autónomo. Busco estabilidad y continuidad en Academia o similar para todo el curso y en verano.

My name is Xavier.
I was born in Barcelona... a long time ago. I grow up in this town, but now I live a bit far from here. I studied at the University of Barcelona and in Huddersfield (near Shefield, Halifax, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool,...not very far from York: quite nice places and better people), and I've been teaching Catalan, Spanish, Phillsofy, History and English for a long time...since I was 16. What happened? Very short, I promise: I was walking down the street two years ago, from just opposite this private school, and I thought myself: well, you might enter this place and see. I like English language very much... and the UK,... but I don' t have a poster of the Queen on my bedroom's wall. It was a sort of a blind date. And there she was: her smile, her diligence, effectiveness. Eva listened to me. And after two weeks she was texting me for a class. Please, Xavier, can you cover for some classes? And here I am. English Studio, Academy of English in Barcelona, where I used to be a teacher until Covid 19 knocked at the door of our lives, and teachers and students had to be at home.

Professional Objective: English teacher.

Morning shift:

Professional experience
More than 15 years in several Contact Centers as an Agent or as a Team Leader or Supervisor. Companies: Teletech, Telefono Permanente, MST, Teleperformance and Promofon.

As an experienced and qualified teacher of Science, Maths, and English I offer two different sets of classes. I have taught in high schools in Ireland for three years and before that I completed a degree in Medicinal Chemistry.

English as Second Language
Learning another language is a difficult process and at different times your needs will vary. At times more focus on grammar and vocabulary is needed to help you reach the next level of understanding. At other times a focus on pronunciation and conversation is needed to enhance your fluency. At this class the teaching will be adaptive to your needs and we can set common goals together.

Science and Maths
Preparing to undergo exams can be daunting and it is much better to keep up with your class as opposed to falling behind and trying to catch up while under pressure right before your exam. In this class we will go over what you are learning at the minute on your course as well as looking forward to the next topics so that you are prepared when your teacher introduces it in class. This will avoid feeling lost moment that happens when new topics are introduced and will help you get the most out of your teachers instructions.

Can you get the audience's attention if they take out their phones? Do you feel nervous when presenting at work? Do you modulate your voice enough and use your body to communicate passion and professionalism?

I will help you prepare your presentation and train you to say it with confidence in 3 sessions. You will improve your stage presence, your non-verbal communication on video and, most importantly, what makes you most nervous: your connection with the audience. You'll improvise and prepare, and we'll add some humor and parts where you'll engage with the audience. You will learn that it is normal to be nervous, because as humans we fear rejection and public speaking threatens our safety. Once you understand that your fear is normal and we explore the "worst case scenario", you will start to enjoy the presentation because you will focus on the audience's experience and you can be sure that your content is good enough that they will not be afraid. throw tomatoes for a bad performance.

Many exercises will be done so that you lose that intense fear of failure. This is why people don't make videos and don't talk. Fear of rejection and impostor syndrome.

As a Gestalt Psychotherapy therapist, I will train your body to act spontaneously, fail quickly, and adapt to the public.

I provide targeted practice using past papers and mock exams, which allows students to hone their test-taking skills and time management. This practice is essential for building the resilience and confidence needed to perform well under exam conditions.

A course to learn and reinforce the topics covered in class. I have a C1 level in English and experience teaching. I adapt to the student without any problem. I'm a university student majoring in pharmacy, so I'm particularly good at chemistry, but I'm familiar with all types of secondary school and science baccalaureate subjects. The course would begin by assessing the student's level and building on what's been taught in their classes.

Hi, my name is Daniele. I’m 24 years old, a native English and Russian speaker, and I’ve lived in four different countries while traveling extensively around the world. Being exposed to different cultures, people, and ways of thinking has shaped both how I communicate and how I teach.

I completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) program and have a strong academic foundation in English. I help students improve their English from basic to intermediate level, whether the goal is conversation, grammar, writing, essays, or homework support. My focus is not just correctness, but helping you build confidence and speak naturally in real-life situations.

Russian is my mother tongue, and I also offer conversational Russian for beginners and early intermediate learners. I help students understand the structure of the language, build practical vocabulary, and feel comfortable using Russian in everyday conversation.

In addition, I speak Spanish, which allows me to explain concepts and grammar in Spanish when helpful, especially for beginners who feel more comfortable learning through their native language.

My teaching style is flexible and adapts to each student’s learning needs. Lessons can be structured or conversational, depending on your goals — whether that’s improving fluency, preparing school assignments, or simply feeling more confident using the language.

The SAT is extremely important today in order to be enrolled at the university of your desires. Crossing the 1300 range unlocks a wide variety of options across Europe and getting into the 1350-1400 range alone pretty much ensures you exceed the score requirement for nearly every university across the continent.

The mathematics section of the SAT is crucial, yet most students of non-American backgrounds struggle with the English section of the exam thus resulting in lower scores. I can help you improve your score by over a 100 points simply by practicing and showing you some of the tricks I used to score 700+/800 on my English in the SAT.
