English Literature for pre-GSCE, GCSE and A-levels

From 46.14 C$ /h

Having refined essay writing skills is integral in order to achieve high marks in any English Literature course. I am in my 4th year of my MA English Literature degree and having also done it at A-level so I am very knowledgeable on the requirements that encompass a good essay. You will learn how to refine arguments, come up with theses and keep a sustained argument throughout. The classes will be tailored to the books the students need to write about and the question titles given.

About Me

One thing that I have always thought was missing from a lot of the English Literature curriculums is a course on how to write a good essay. That is why I want to provide students with the possibility of avoiding the error period that is inevitable if they have no prior guidance. A good essay is akin to a work of art and I want to help students feel proud of their final piece.

Education

I am currently in my 4th year studying English Literature at the University of Edinburgh and am on track to graduate with a 1:1. I completed my A-levels in English Literature, Biology, History and Maths in Dubai and graduated with 2 A*s and 2 As.

Experience / Qualifications

I have been writing essays since high school and have refined my skills throughout university which has allowed me to average a 1:1 in my degree.

Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research

The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.

For help with writing:

The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.

For analyzes of oral literary texts:

In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.

For the corrections of end of studies work:

so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.

Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.

For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.

For adults (FLE):

In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).

The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.

Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

Presentation :
As a former National Education teacher and BAC examiner, I know how to make French enjoyable for struggling students who don't connect with the subject.
Whether it is to explain how to make a dissertation pleasant to read, how to organize a composed commentary or read one's text clearly, distinctly and posed for an oral.
French is not only a subject, French is difficult and requires effort, but these are rewarded!

Method:
My students have always made significant progress, going from an average of 5 per year to having an average of 14 in the French baccalaureate. My last one to send me his results went from 6 in writing and 9 in speaking to 15 in writing and 17 in speaking (EAF 2024 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.

I adapt to your level and I give exercises to do for the next course (finish a comment, make an introductory essay ...).
I am nice and enthusiastic but nevertheless serious: you will make satisfactory progress because you will work for 😉
