Learn how to write a great UCAS Personal Statement

From 45 C$ /h

In this class, I will teach you how to write a good UCAS Personal Statement. When I submitted mine I got offers from all 5 of the universities I applied to, and was told by my supervisor that my statement was one of the best she'd read. I will talk you step-by-step through what information to include, in a manner which is generalisable to most subjects. I don't have enough knowledge about applications to Medical Schools, so please don't sign up if your application is for medicine.

Extra information

Please have a laptop with a word processor available to use during the class!

I am a French teacher. I have been teaching French, language, and communication since 2012. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English, and a little Turkish.
I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice.
During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps.
And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level.

Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.

I teach Spanish at the Universität Greifswald (A1 and B1 courses) and have worked as a private Spanish tutor since 2019. Before moving into teaching, I spent around ten years working in communication and journalism, which shapes how I teach: through real content, real conversation, and cultural context, not just grammar drills.

What you'll work on:

Conversation practice based on real situations, not scripted dialogue.
Grammar explained clearly, with the exceptions that actually come up in use.
Cultural context from across the Spanish-speaking world.
Lessons adapted to your goals: travel, exams, professional Spanish, or general fluency.

About me:

Native Spanish speaker (Rioplatense).
German C1 (TELC C1 Hochschule) — I can explain grammar and give feedback in German if that's more comfortable for you.
Degree in Audiovisual Communication (UNSAM) and higher technical degree in Journalism (ISEC), Argentina.
7 years teaching Spanish, including university-level instruction in Germany.
Have lived and worked in Argentina, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, France, and Hungary.

Availability is currently limited — I have one open slot on Wednesday mid-morning. Message me to confirm the exact time and we'll take it from there.

My lessons are unmatched, blending charisma, passion, and innovative teaching methods to create a magical learning experience. I focus on highly personalized, one-on-one sessions, understanding each student’s unique mindset to unlock their full potential.

Teaching is my true passion! I genuinely enjoy sharing my knowledge and skills with those in need. My friendly and supportive attitude allows me to establish a connection with every student right from the first lesson. So, if you're feeling demotivated and down, don't worry! I'm here to help you find the motivation you need for both academic and personal success.

I have helped more than 600 private students score top grades across these top international programs and entrance exams:
* IB DP: Math AA/AI (HL/SL), Physics (HL/SL), IA & EE
* AP: Calculus AB/BC, Precalculus, Physics 1/2/C (Mechanics, E&M), Statistics
* UK A-Levels & IGCSE: Pure Math, Further Math, Mechanics, Stats, Physics (CIE, Edexcel, AQA, OCR)
* US Standardized Tests: Digital SAT Math, ACT Math/Science, PSAT, SSAT, ISEE
* Oxbridge & UK Admissions: STEP, TMUA, PAT, ESAT, MAT
* US & EU University Placement: ALEKS, ACCUPLACER, CLEP, Bocconi Test, TOLC-I, Swedish Matematikprovet, German Studienkolleg FSP

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.
