World Literature and Poetry: learn how to understand classics and develop your mindset.

From 28 C$ /h

Have you ever experienced being confused about the classics? How do you react when people around you passionately discuss a book, a poem that you do not understand, that you do not feel, that you find nothing extraordinary in? Does it make you feel different and more precocious? If so, then the rest of the world must be seriously mistaken as it continues paying tribute to a "masterpiece". If not, then your way of reading and thinking must be a part of the problem.
And I can help you with this situation. Whether you do not read at all or read all the time and all the books, all the stories sound alike to you. I will refresh your vision and your perception. Letters, words, and sentences will awaken for you.
Literature is art where both the creator and the consumer are artists. Be brave to open your soul up to new thoughts and trust me to help you in this process.

I am a graduate of the philological faculty of Lomonosov Moscow State University. I am qualified in world literature and specialize in the works of Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll, and Charles Dickens in English literature. But my main area of interest is in Russian literature. I analyze the philosophy of the novels of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, Chekhov's works, and the poetry of the silver age of Russian literature.
My thesis is based on the image of London in the modern fantasy genre, so I periodically touch on fanfiction.
I have experience in teaching and I try to motivate my students to get interested and proficient in literature.

Do you want to best prepare your child for the start of the school year and upcoming exams? Perfect, let's do it together!
I am used to international students and know how to prepare them well for exams, whether it be on methodology or on the knowledge required in literature.

As a teacher who has helped hundreds of students since 2013, I taught at both the middle and high school levels and am familiar with the requirements of the baccalaureate exam, having been an examiner. I enjoy helping students understand what they hadn't grasped before by explaining it in a different way.
You are not just hiring a French teacher, but an ally for your child to help them achieve their best.

I'm used to working with neurodivergent students; they've always found their way to my ad, and we do good work together. Trained in ADHD and ASD, I just finished my bachelor's degree in psychology.

Don't hesitate to take lessons to help your child catch up and get back on track! Learning French isn't impossible! It requires effort, but I do my best to present it in a lively and accessible way!

My students have consistently made significant progress, going from an average of 5 throughout the year to achieving a 14 average in the French baccalaureate exam. My students get good results on the baccalaureate and, most importantly, they approach it with a relaxed attitude (and can even finish top of their class, as they did in the 2025 EAF session).
I have been preparing classes for these tests for years, I am up to date on methodology and programs.
My services combine the experience of teaching French and the vivacity of a young teacher who succeeds in motivating the most recalcitrant students.
My students have always made significant progress and above all, go to tests with confidence in their abilities.

HOLIDAY INTERNSHIPS:
They take place online, like the courses, and for several days we see the method intensively and we practice on texts in baccalaureate conditions plus detailed correction of assignments.

December: 3 days during the holidays
February: 3 days during the holidays
April: 3 days during the holidays

Don't wait until it's too late to start preparing for your exams!

It is true that the philosopher is the friend of wisdom, but above all, he is someone who does not want to make mistakes in reasoning. Philosophizing is a way of reasoning and a way of solving problems that will never have a perfect and definitive solution. Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not a problem of philosophy, because it is enough to measure to solve it. On the other hand, knowing, for example, what justice is, is a problem of philosophy. A meter will not be able to help us know the answer. We must go about it differently, and in the courses I offer, I will teach you how.

You will learn

- text reading strategies
- case studies with the aim of learning from experts
- methodology in philosophy
- writing an essay
- writing a text commentary
- a work on the philosophers of your choice
- an overview of the history of philosophy
- the general culture necessary to be able to philosophize

I will adapt to your individual needs. Each course is tailor-made. We will analyze where your difficulties lie and together develop a course program that will make you perform as quickly as possible. The basic principle of the courses I offer is dialectics, like Plato's dialogues: reflecting together, making theoretical contributions, asking questions and seeking answers, and testing the validity of reasoning.

For the past 10 years, I have been teaching German using the philosophy methodology, having studied philosophy at the Master's level at Aix-Marseille University. It turns out that the analytical mind is very useful even outside the confines of philosophy. Today, there are even fields of activity such as management with philosophy or philotherapy. In recent years, some German students have asked me to also teach them philosophy courses, and that is why I decided to offer philosophy courses directly.

I look forward to meeting you during a first lesson.

In this class, we practice conversational English by diving into the stories we love. Instead of dry grammar drilling, our focus is on natural discussion centered on books, writing, cinema, and television. We can chat about characters, narrative themes, storylines, or simply discuss the stories that interest you.

We can also read and discuss short book excerpts or script pieces together, depending on your interests. As a writer, I'm especially interested in how language creates emotion, reveals personality, and brings stories to life. Together, we'll explore not only what characters say, but why they say it that way, and how you can use natural expressions to sound more confident in your own English.

Don't worry — you don't need to be a literary critic to enjoy these lessons. We use stories as a starting point for conversation, not as an excuse to overanalyze every page or scene. Whether you enjoy discussing your favourite novel, breaking down an unforgettable movie scene, or simply chatting about fictional worlds, the goal is to create a relaxed environment where English feels alive and enjoyable.

It's all about enjoying the language instead of seeing it as something intimidating. I will correct your mistakes when appropriate, but mistakes are a natural and valuable part of learning. They help us identify what to improve and build lasting confidence.

Every lesson is tailored to your interests, goals, and pace. The aim is to help you build real-world speaking confidence, expand your vocabulary, and enjoy using English in a relaxed, friendly environment.

MULTILINGUAL LISTENING SUPPORT

If you get stuck, you are welcome to use your native language when necessary. I have passive listening and reading comprehension of Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and German, in addition to being a native Serbian speaker.

Our lessons and explanations will primarily be conducted in English or Serbian.

ONLINE LESSONS

Lessons are conducted via Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, depending on your preference. We can use screen sharing and digital materials when they are useful for the lesson.

Hello! My name is Alba and I have a degree in Hispanic Philology from the University of Jaén. I also have a Master's degree in Secondary Education Teaching, specializing in Language and Literature, studies that have greatly helped me to know how to approach my classes to achieve academic success.
I can say that I have a very varied background, based on effort and perseverance, because, in addition to the studies already mentioned, I have a degree in Dramatic Arts and I have trained at the Conservatory of Music up to the professional level with the specialty of violin.
For all of this, I have years of experience giving private lessons in Language and Literature, Violin, Piano, English and Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE).

I use a very varied methodology, based primarily on practice and adapted to each situation, depending on the student and the type of learning they want. My goal is for the student not only to pass a subject, but also to learn to work with a study method that will help them when they encounter more difficulties in the future.
My classes are designed for Primary, Secondary and High School students who need help to pass some part of the subject that they find difficult (syntax, literature, writing, reading comprehension...), prepare for important exams or, simply, gain confidence.

As a teacher, I would consider myself an approachable and empathetic person who provides her own materials when needed and is communicative.
