English IGCSE/GCSE/ Verbal Reasoning/ Poetry/ Creative Writing

From 117 C$ /h

I can aid students from preschool to IGCSE/GCSE level in English, Verbal Reasoning, and essay writing. Having achieved an A* in both English Language and English literature, I am passionate about teaching children how to love the subject and excel in their examinations. I have tutored English in the past to both preschool and IGCSE pupils, offering a dynamic and interactive teaching style that helps nurture a child's love for English and creative writing. I have access to the poetry pamphlet taught in most schools for IGCSE, but can access whatever syllabus is needed for a specific exam. I also have created several worksheets for students who are learning English as their second language. Having studied French, German, and Latin at school, I am aware of the etymology of many words which will allow students to connect meanings across their language to understand the literature fully. In my free time, I write poetry and novels and can share many teachings I learnt on a creative writing course I undertook in 2016.

Dynamic and motivated teacher of 33 years (Graduate of EDHEC, Scientific Baccalaureate with honors, 2 years of preparatory class EC scientific option and 5 years of experience in private home-based courses), I propose courses and intensive reviews in Mathematics all levels and all sections until the Terminale.

Control of achievements, awareness of a practical methodology by writing cards, intensive training in solving typical exercises.

Make room for practice rather than theory in order to optimize the time spent together in solving typical exercises requiring a method (noted together on a form with the course associated with it). The goal is to react in the best way possible to a statement.

I am a very driven individual when it comes to education. I am willing to work hard and I can guarantee excellent progress over a short period of time. Also, I have over 11years experience working within education. This includes preparing children for SATs, Phonics Screening and other major exams.

Children will be exposed to a well broad and balance curriculum. There will be regular assessment cycles to measure impact and progress. This information will be used to produce reports. Lessons will be fun, personalised and accessible to all learners. Homework will be given after each lesson to consolidate learning.

This class will prepare students for practical and written examinations related to the field of Drama and Theatre Arts (this may include but is not limited to; GCSE Drama, A-Level Drama, GCSE English language or Literature, BTEC courses, Degree level courses related to theatre and performance).

After an initial session to discuss the curriculum content and the outcomes the student hopes to achieve for their particular exam or performance, each session will be tailored to the individual students needs.

In the past five years I have obtained my Degree and Master's Degree in the field of contemporary theatre practices as well as working with a small company to produce and tour innovative new performances. I have an extensive skills-base spanning contemporary devised theatre, classical texts, producing, academic writing and much more.

I aim to make these classes fun and informative; allowing students to reach their potential academically whilst aiding them in becoming forward-thinking creative individuals.

Don't hesitate to contact me with any enquiries.

Maths, English and Spanish GCSE can be very difficult. I have a grade 8 in both Maths, English and Spanish GCSE, therefore with my guidance, I can help obtain any grade you desire. I give a good balance of challenge and ease for every one of my students. If you have any weaknesses, we will work on them continuously. In addition, we will skim over your strengths. To see your progress, I will test you from time to time.

As a language coach, my role is to assist you with your needs in:
-Planning.
-Assessment.
-Encouragement.
-Ideas.
-Resources.
-Techniques.

I've completed my GCSEs a little over a year ago , I'm on here to fund myself in the future (primarily university) .
I've averaged above an A (above grade 7) overall with recent experience and am still attending sixth form . Because of this I'll be able to easily relate to and figure out the needs of my tutee as I was in their position not too long ago .
I myself studied based on topic rather than necessarily textbooks , this means that I can make due with any textbook or other material (this accounts for difference in exam boards).
I can teach a concept from the ground up , or to solidify knowledge on topics as well as teach the basic principles for understanding the topic in the first place . I'm especially good at understanding and taking advantage of mark schemes to maximise grades , despite if the topic is completely unbeknownst to you . Though this seems minor , this tactic means you'll almost never score zero marks on a question . Ergo : if you can do half of the questions on a 100 mark test you'll get around 50 marks (high C to low B grade , grade 5 to 6) however even without understanding the rest it's easy to get at least another 15 marks up to around 25 (you usually cannot get over half marks without getting close to the answer , which is why half the remaining marks is a typical maximum) putting your grade up to to a minimum of a strong B or a maximum of a solid A (min of a grade 6 and max of grade 8) all of which requires minimal work which you won't forget . In English a similar thing can be done with punctuation , so long as you use a type of punctuation once ; you can score easy additional marks and get more marks on other criteria due to the examiner's bias . This is my forté .

Private tuition in English Language and Literature. For those students preparing for exams I like to take a syllabus-based approach while also allowing time to further explore any specific areas of personal interest the student may have. If a student is not working towards exams but requires private tuition, my aim is to approach the English subject enthusiastically and broadly, highlighting the vast range of approaches that students can take towards discovering new topics, practising new learning techniques and exploring their own personal interests within the subject in the most educationally enriching way possible.
If a student is having difficulties at school I believe I have the skills and personable approach to transform their learning into discovery and demonstrate this process to be appealing and exciting. Learning should never seem like an obstacle. Instead it should be seen as something that enlightens a student to their own potential.

I am a tutor with 7+ years of experience teaching at a variety of levels from primary school to GCSE level. I teach English Language, English Literature, ESOL (English for speakers of other languages), Maths, and Creative Writing.

I have a special passion for creative writing, which I specifically studied in my joint honours degree (BA English with Creative Writing), and specialise in producing stories, written poetry, and spoken word poetry which I have previously performed at events. I have run creative writing workshops for children at previous educational centres and love to make writing enjoyable, engaging and exciting for all of my students at all levels.

I believe the most successful results come from fostering a friendship with my students, and providing constant encouragement and support in their areas of interest. I pride am an attentive listener and I carefully plan my lessons according to the specific needs of my students, which is particularly helpful for my SEN, ESOL, and younger pupils. At the beginning of every lesson I also do short icebreaker activities and challenges with my students, using a points reward system to keep them engaged. Previous students have gone on to become the top of their class and receive recognition at school for both English and Maths.

Lessons start at 1 hour in length, with longer lessons available if required. Lessons are structured according to the needs of the student; this can be working alongside their class syllabus to support them with progress at school, tackling an area or subject they want to excel at, and helping them prepare for national exams such as GCSEs.

I provide feedback after every lesson and detailed progress reports every six months for each student.

I primarily offer online lessons as I have found this works well for me and my students, but in some cases I do teach face-to-face depending on location and availability within London.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have - I look forward to speaking with you soon!
