English literature- private lessons in analysis, essay writing and exam prep

From 51 C$ /h

My basic premise is that anything you can say, you should be able to write. My strengths are in thematic reading of the text, literary techniques and essay writing. I usually work with the student to help them build a strong understanding of the text, and its wider historical and social content, before helping them to understand its themes and key ideas. From there I work with my students to strengthen their writing (factual or creative) and building of their own ideas on paper. I use a variety of exercises and mediums (film, poetry, novels, rap etc) to achieve this.

As literature is an ever-evolving field, I feel learning is very much a two-way process, and try to use dialogue, discussion and contextual materials and examples to build the student's understanding. I really enjoy this field and try to bring my enthusiasm, knowledge and experience to every class I teach.

Spanish/ Español - private lessons to learn speaking, grammar and exam prep

51 C$ /h

¡Hola! ¿Qué tal? I have been speaking Spanish for seven years and studied it as a minor in my Bachelor's degree. I have lived and volunteered in Spain and travel there regularly, aswell as read, speak and write in Spanish daily. Not only do I have a strong understanding of Spanish grammar and vocabulary and a deep love of the language but I also understand how to learn it, as it is my second of five languages.

As I have done when teaching Spanish in the past, I'm able to understand the conceptual gaps and differences between the student's first language (particularly if it's Latin or Asian) and work with the student to jump over those hurdles towards greater comprehension. I use a communicative approach which focuses on building the student's fluency and confidence. Finally, I have a strong understanding of Spanish and Latin American culture and history, and so am able to use interesting and contextually relevant materials to keep lessons engaging and lively.

I am a private tutor and I offer support and academic reinforcement classes for students from the first years of Primary Education up to 3rd year of ESO (Secondary Education).
My goal is to help each student improve their academic performance, reinforce the subjects they find most difficult, and above all, help them gain confidence, autonomy, and security when studying.
I teach different subjects:

* Languages: English and French.
* Spanish Language and Literature: grammar, spelling, reading comprehension, written expression and syntactic analysis.
* Mathematics: explanation of content, problem solving and exam preparation.
* Biology and Natural Sciences.
* Social Sciences and History: content comprehension, outlines, summaries, and study techniques.
* General academic support: help with homework, organization, study planning and exam preparation.

I like to adapt the classes to each child's pace and needs, aiming to make learning simpler, more dynamic, and more motivating. It's not just about doing homework, but about understanding what they're studying and providing them with the tools to become increasingly independent.

📚 Personalized classes, individualized attention and learning adapted to each student.

I'd be delighted to help you achieve your academic goals!
