History, Political Science, Essay writing, Test Prep Tutoring

From 69.46 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

59.54 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.

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 a Team Leader / Supervisor: more than three years in Teleperformance and Promofon, (ONO), making sure the group of Agents were appropriatly trained and equipped to resolve doubts, problems and change requests; makintg sure the team could respond effectively to Account Managers ` requests for further information and , when necessary, take proactive action to ensure they were aware of an issue. And last but not least, every day monitoring work, keeping an eye on the activity of premium learners, ensuring the team was taking the necessary proactive action, either by phone or email.
I had to support very often other colleagues in accordance with business needs and to share ideas to improve business practices and the quality of the service.
More than 20 years as an English teacher. Also, Spanish, Catalan an Humanities subjects.

I am Carolina and I am a native English teacher from Ireland. I have taught over a hundred students, both in school and online as private students. I have plenty of experience preparing classes and helping students to improve their written, oral, aural and English.

I am preparing students for the B2 examination, and I also teach business english to students from large corporations such as Paypal.

The class is about you, so whatever you need, I tailor my class around you and your goals. I always try to make the classes as engaging as possible and I will first ask you about your interests. I combine your interests and make personalised English lessons that focus on specific objectives for each class. We often do revisions and go back over material so that nothing is forgotten.

Most of my students have a really good time, we laugh a lot and we forget that we are learning.

About me: I studied English Literature and Spanish in Trinity College Dublin, and then I obtained a TEFL qualification. I am teaching in La Salle in Barcelona and I am giving private English classes online to students and professionals.

I look forward to hearing from you and if we are a match.

I am an experienced and certified mathematics tutor specializing in a range of curriculums, including AS and A-Levels, IGCSE, GCSE, SATs, Edexcel, and the International Baccalaureate (IB). With a proven track record of guiding students to success in these rigorous exams, I understand the unique challenges each curriculum presents. My approach is designed to meet each student's individual needs and learning style, ensuring that they receive the tailored support necessary to excel.

Mathematics can often seem daunting, but my goal is to help students build a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. I believe that a solid foundation in the basics is crucial, and I work to ensure that students grasp fundamental principles before moving on to more complex topics. This method not only boosts their confidence but also prepares them for advanced problem-solving scenarios. I utilize a variety of teaching methods, from visual aids to interactive exercises, to cater to different learning styles and make the subject more relatable.

In my sessions, I focus on developing effective problem-solving strategies. I guide students through step-by-step processes for tackling various types of mathematical problems, helping them to analyze questions critically and approach solutions systematically. This analytical skill is invaluable, not just for exams, but for future academic pursuits and real-world applications. I encourage students to ask questions and engage in discussions, as this fosters a deeper understanding of the material.

I also recognize that exam preparation involves more than just understanding the content; it requires familiarity with the exam format and types of questions they will encounter. 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.

Whether you're looking for support with fundamental concepts or advanced topics, I am here to provide clear explanations and structured guidance. My lessons are designed to be engaging and interactive, ensuring that students remain motivated and focused. I believe that learning should be a positive experience, and I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable expressing their concerns and challenges.

Throughout my tutoring career, I have seen firsthand the transformative impact of personalized education. Many of my students have achieved outstanding results, including high grades and scholarships, thanks to the tailored support I provide. I take immense pride in their accomplishments, and my dedication to their success is unwavering.

In addition to my expertise in mathematics, I emphasize the importance of a growth mindset. I encourage students to view challenges as opportunities for learning and growth. This perspective not only helps them in their studies but also equips them with resilience that will serve them well in all areas of life.

If you're looking for expert tutoring that delivers outstanding results, I invite you to book a lesson today. Together, we can embark on a journey toward academic excellence in mathematics. I am committed to helping you achieve your goals and unlock your full potential. Don't hesitate to reach out; I am here to support you every step of the way!

Learning English and Spanish is of vital importance for students, professionals and tourists. As a student of English and Spanish you must know, learn and master basic vocabulary at levels A1-A2 since it will depend on this whether you can understand and communicate in these languages.
As a student of English and Spanish at levels B1-B2, you will need to know more complex vocabulary and expressions to effectively improve your speaking and writing skills on different academic and non-academic topics. At these levels the aim is for students to be more autonomous in their learning and to be able to communicate with more security and fluency. I have prepared this course as a practical guide in learning English and Spanish for students and professionals.

You will learn vocabulary, expressions used in different communicative contexts, and develop and improve your listening, speaking, reading and writing skills naturally with the best language learning methodologies.

Hello! I'm Violeta, and I study at the University of Barcelona. I recently graduated with honors from high school. I lived in England and have family there, so I've always been immersed in the language. My classes would be dynamic and conversation-focused, but I'm flexible to suit each student's needs. I have all kinds of materials for all areas of English (writing, reading, listening, etc.). My classes are for primary, secondary, and high school students. Levels A1, A2, B1, and B2. I can also help prepare for the English university entrance exam (Selectividad), which I took with a perfect score. I love teaching because it's a way to help others by sharing knowledge. Teaching and learning are among the most important things in life, and it should be a fun and enriching process, which is what I like to convey in my classes! Thank you!

I am a passionate teacher. I love personalized instruction. I hold a C2 level certificate in Catalan from the Barcelona Linguistic Normalization Consortium and a B2 level certificate in English from the Vall d'Hebron Official Language School (EOI) in Barcelona. I am currently volunteering as a basic Catalan teacher for immigrants at the Ires Foundation in Barcelona. I am passionate about my dynamic approach to teaching, where oral expression takes center stage, combining grammar and reading comprehension to help students become familiar with the Catalan language through fluid and engaging conversation. In the past, I have taught Catalan orally to primary school students, who were very satisfied with their grades. At the Vall d'Hebron EOI, I also gave private English lessons for a time to third-year students. I used a dynamic and practical conversational method, combined with grammar and reading comprehension exercises using textbook texts and newspaper articles. Through word-of-mouth recommendations, I was able to gather more people who committed to taking private lessons with me, with the goal of guaranteeing a passing grade on their school's midterm and final exams. With my teaching experience, I must add that I enjoy teaching languages individually, as I consider languages a precious cultural heritage that should be promoted and practiced in every possible setting where we have the opportunity to communicate and preserve the dialectical richness that languages offer us.
