English Standard & Higher Level for International Baccalaureate + English Reading, Writing, Speaking for All Levels

From 167.91 C$ /h

English SL and Higher Level for the International Baccalaureate is a rigorous course, especially for ESL students. I completed the IB with HL English and received a 7 (highest mark) in my final exam. I will be able to go over both Standard Level and Higher Level syllabuses for the course specific to the material covered in your school, and prepare you for mock and final exams. I will include essay writing skills, literary criticism and analysis, as well as vocabulary expansion techniques in my teaching. A brief overview of the key features of English SL/HL as set by the International Baccalaureate Organisation:

• Higher level study requires a minimum of 240 class hours, while standard level study requires a minimum of 150 class hours
• Students study 13 works at higher level and 9 works at standard level from a representative selection of literary forms, periods and places
• Students develop the ability to engage in close, detailed analysis of literary works, building understanding of the techniques involved in literary criticism
• The study of literary works in context is emphasised, and through the study of literature in translation the student is challenged to reflect on the role of cultural assumptions in interpretation
• Students are assessed through a combination of formal examination and oral and written coursework.
• The formal examination comprises two essay papers, one requiring the analysis of a passage of unseen literary text, and the other comparative response to a question based on two works studied
• Students also perform an oral activity presenting their analysis of two works studied
• HL students comply with an additional written coursework requirement which consists of writing a 1200 - 1500 word essay on one of the works studied

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 specialise in tutoring students in KS3 and GCSE level English Literature and Language. Usually, I help with content consolidation, revision techniques and exam practice! I believe in understanding English as a subject rather than tedious memorisation of quotation analysis and will set work accordingly, keeping in mind the child's workload so as not to overwhelm.

Living in England could really be complicated if you are bad at english. The key to improvising yourself and socialising with others is communication. From job interviews to casual chats, english is an unavoidable requirement in all our day today life. Communication skill is always the best way to impress someone and also to get involved with them.

This course will lift you from whichever state you are in english and improve your linguistic skills to a western level. My experience in teaching IELTS sessions to students of different age groups (most of them elder than me), has helped me take my classes in appropriate ways for the particular age group present in my class. When it comes to one on one classes, it would be a more easy and interactive session, which helps in improving the student’s linguistic skills to a whole new level.
