Creative Writing Support for Beginners and Non-native English Learners

Von 29 € /Std

In one-to-one classes I can offer the support, feedback and encouragement that you need to start writing creatively, whether it's for a course, to improve your language skills and fluency, or as a hobby/passion. I am a graduate of English with Creative Writing at UCD, have published several short stories and have years of experience giving advice and constructive feedback to other writers (I was also the fiction editor of a successful magazine issue published by UCD). Whether we start with a piece of writing that you want to expand on and improve or just an idea or genre you would like to write in, I can assist you. As well as giving you feedback on your work and talking you through how to go about editing, we can also look at certain books or stories as examples of excellent writing, to help inspire your own work. I offer close guidance and attention and try to create a welcoming, non-judgemental environment in which to work and grow your ideas. Please get in touch with your request so I have an idea of what you are looking for before our first introductory class

*For students needing help with literature analysis, better understanding texts and essay writing*
With experience as a writer, editor and as an English graduate and LC tutor, I can offer you help with analysing literature on your college course or exam, or help you with essay writing/editing

30 € /Std

After our first conversation on your goals and situation, I will tailor our lessons to suit your individual needs. I use a mixture of textbook material and my own high quality notes to create effective, relevant and personalised lessons, whether you are a non-native speaker hoping to improve your English language skills or a student tackling the English Leaving Cert.
-I have been teaching online one-to-one classes for more than three years to Leaving Cert English students hoping to improve their grade/understanding of texts and exam questions (be it poetry techniques, Shakespeare or writing strong essays ).
-Recently earned a CELTA language teaching qualification with experience delivering classes at both pre-intermediate and intermediate levels to foreign language students. Do you wish to improve your general fluency, conversational skills and ability to communicate effectively? I can help.

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.

Are you having difficulties analysing texts, poems and prose in your IGCSE English, IB English Literature or IB LangLit course? Are you ready to commit an hour every week over the summer to get that 6 or 7 and get into the university of your dreams? Then this is the course for you!

From helping you master the general techniques of literary analysis and teaching you how to compare literary works to answer exam questions on character development, theme and techniques, my course will provide you with all the tools and knowledge you need to dazzle even the most demanding IB examiner. The combination of my passion for writing prose and poetry and my deep understanding of IB marking criteria thanks to great teachers and thoughtful research means that I am uniquely placed to not only explain what your answers were lacking, but also show you how thinking like a writer can help you dramatically improve your answers.

Following a thorough discussion of your individual needs in our first class, I will create for you an engaging but exam-focused programme drawing on my 3-year experience as a tutor and using interactive teaching platforms. Through my course, you will get access to a vast library of resources (at no extra cost) - from official IB textbooks and past papers to teacher guidance - to help you perfect both your analytical and essay-writing skills. And if English is your second language, I will show you what to focus on in your learning so that you could write better than Shakespeare!

Are you ready to turn the page on disappointing grades in the past? Then contact me today!

This class offers insight into the English language. The students learn how to write, speak and comprehend the English language. Students will learn how to write clear and well-developed multi-paragraph essays using various methods through the process of planning, drafting, revising, editing and peer reviewing. Through individual and (sometimes) group activities, students work on improving pronunciation, practising conversation strategies and delivering oral presentations.

I offer careful proofreading, both in terms of content and form, of written work such as internship reports, senior work, end-of-study dissertations, dissertations, comments or reading sheets.
I correct language errors: grammar, syntax, language register, spelling. I also suggest possibly bringing in other sources and rectifying the structure of the work if necessary.

I am native German and I can teach my language in all levels, for children and adults. More than ten years of experience. My focus is the grammar and the conversation. German has a lot of grammar and I always try to teach how the language works and how german people actually speak it, not only how to follow the rules. We'd do a lot of speaking, exercices, games or interactive activities. Depending on your level, there are also lessons in german history, german politics and differences between german, austrian or swiss german.

Learning German can be easier: I support children (approx. 6-12 years old) with reading, writing, and spelling, patiently, systematically, and in a positive learning environment. We first work together to identify where they're struggling, and then practice exactly what's currently important for school. It's important to me that your child not only completes tasks "correctly," but truly understands how to learn more confidently and independently. We celebrate small steps forward, because they make the biggest difference.
