In my class you will learn how to write effective pieces in English, and achieve outstanding grades with lots of different techniques. We will be covering basic SPAG and writing techniques that you need for creative writing, and also how to analyse a comprehension for details. In verbal reasoning, we will be covering how to think constructively and use skill to understand different concepts framed in words.

I've completed my GCSEs a little over a year ago , I'm on here to fund myself in the future (primarily university) .
I've averaged above an A (above grade 7) overall with recent experience and am still attending sixth form . Because of this I'll be able to easily relate to and figure out the needs of my tutee as I was in their position not too long ago .
I myself studied based on topic rather than necessarily textbooks , this means that I can make due with any textbook or other material (this accounts for difference in exam boards).
I can teach a concept from the ground up , or to solidify knowledge on topics as well as teach the basic principles for understanding the topic in the first place . I'm especially good at understanding and taking advantage of mark schemes to maximise grades , despite if the topic is completely unbeknownst to you . Though this seems minor , this tactic means you'll almost never score zero marks on a question . Ergo : if you can do half of the questions on a 100 mark test you'll get around 50 marks (high C to low B grade , grade 5 to 6) however even without understanding the rest it's easy to get at least another 15 marks up to around 25 (you usually cannot get over half marks without getting close to the answer , which is why half the remaining marks is a typical maximum) putting your grade up to to a minimum of a strong B or a maximum of a solid A (min of a grade 6 and max of grade 8) all of which requires minimal work which you won't forget . In English a similar thing can be done with punctuation , so long as you use a type of punctuation once ; you can score easy additional marks and get more marks on other criteria due to the examiner's bias . This is my forté .

Mathematics is a fun game that we play with numbers.Rather than thinking it as a subject my class will be more innovative that will help the students to understand the subject more easy and also it will help them to shine better in their academic.I will dive into the world of Algebra with my Algebra essentials class which will be perfect for middle and high school students,this class will explore variables,equations and functions.Also prepare the students for the challenge of calculus.I can take classes from primary to adult and clarify all there doubts and make them a great mathematicians.Other than maths I will also take class for English and also I will help students to prepare for their exams.I will help the students to shine bright in their academic.

English is important to us because its the language that the whole world speaks in’t
I would like to help people who don’t speak English to make them know that this language is easy and help make it better for them to understand the language and the basic grammar

I am a masters student Pursuing Msc International Health Policy Health Economics studying at LSE and have completed my Bachelors in Economics Honors with an overall cgpa of approx. 8.5 which makes me eligible to provide classes for economics. I completed my high school in 2021 with a cgpa of 9.1 and am passionate about studies and value co curriculars as well. I scored an 8 band in IELTS in my first try as a proof of my fluency in the English language.

Private tuition in English Language and Literature. For those students preparing for exams I like to take a syllabus-based approach while also allowing time to further explore any specific areas of personal interest the student may have. If a student is not working towards exams but requires private tuition, my aim is to approach the English subject enthusiastically and broadly, highlighting the vast range of approaches that students can take towards discovering new topics, practising new learning techniques and exploring their own personal interests within the subject in the most educationally enriching way possible.
If a student is having difficulties at school I believe I have the skills and personable approach to transform their learning into discovery and demonstrate this process to be appealing and exciting. Learning should never seem like an obstacle. Instead it should be seen as something that enlightens a student to their own potential.

My name is Younes and I am a qualified English teacher and a French instructor who lives in the UK.
I love working with adults and children of all ages, which allows me to help them reach their full potential.
I am currently teaching in London at my own college. I have been teaching and preparing students for the last 12 years. I taught many French and English classes such as ESOL, ESL, or Functional Skills. Most of these exams are based in England however I have also thought TOEIC to prepare French students for all of these exams.
I use different software to teach such as Zoom or Skype.
I use different resources (such as PDF and Word documents) for my classes. I also have a virtual whiteboard available.
A typical session with me takes between 1h30 minutes to 2 hours.
I like helping students that are between A1 to B2 levels however my main goal is to help students to become advanced or fluent.
I would be happy to adapt to any student based on your objective, of course.
One of my main goals is to support your vocabulary and grammar.
What really made me unique is that I was in the same position as you and today I have become fluent.
If you have any questions, you could contact me and I would be glad to have a conversation with you.
See you soon.
