Understanding English: Comprehensive Literature Training

From 81 C$ /h

This class is for persons studying English Lit. at any level. I aim to teach from a place of understanding and so the lessons are structured around first grasping the internal logic of Academic English. As a result the focus will be on developing their analytical skills and critical knowledge through the use of core texts. Students will learn the art of creating an argument; how to construct, critique and justify their own thoughts; incorporate outside sources and also to recognise and satisfy a mark scheme.

I believe that knowledge creates understanding and understanding leads to enthusiasm. What i offer is not just instruction on the syllabus but an appreciation of English as an academic discipline. The aim is to spark the interest of students and so foster a relationship between them and their studies that centres around choice and rewards engagement and expression, leaving them with a sense of security and confidence as they move forward with their schooling.

Homework exercises and reading shall be assigned after each lesson. Progress reports available also.

Extra information

Will need access to online texts i.e. kindle

About Me

Story lover and student of life. Longtime reluctant student turned full blown nerd.
I love books, film, music and conversation.

Teaching for me is about enjoyment and i think learning should be the same. Unfortunately, this was not my experience of school and i realise this is the same for a lot of people.

One teacher changed this for me. He showed me how to approach studying on my own terms and find the fun in it. This is what i want to do with my students.

I want to show them that the trick to success is not hours of tedious reading or mindless memory tasks but simply being interested in what you are studying and i believe it is the job of the teacher to create that interest in the first place.

I'm not going to force anyone to do anything, instead let me show them something that will make them want to do it.

Education

I have an English Literature MA from Edinburgh University where i graduated in 2015.

I also have three A levels in English, Maths and German from Wood house College where i graduated in 2010.

Experience / Qualifications

I was a language and linguistics teaching assistant at the University of Santa Barbara whilst on a study exchange from 2013-14.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!
