English Literature: Themes and Intertextuality in Literature, for Students and Adults

A partir de 46.93 $ /h

English Literature is an extremely important and, for many students, compulsory part of education. This class is about improving the skills needed for close, thematic reading of both old and more contemporary texts. Using overarching themes found across literature, as well as giving suggestions for other relevant texts, this class aims not only to help pass any exams, but to also enrich your understanding and appreciation of the subject.

Outside of exams, especially for any adults, this class can be a more freeform discussion of novels or poetry for anyone who wants to enjoy literature on a deeper level but isn't quite sure where to start or what avenues of thought to explore.

Acerca de mí

I tutor English primarily because I enjoy English and discussing it with other people. Being able to help guide my students towards more complex and nuanced ideas is an extremely rewarding experience.

My aim for multiple lessons is to reach the point where I can disagree with my student on their interpretation, and still have them be able to produce evidence for themselves. While I am always willing to offer guidance and ideas, these lessons are not for students who simply want to parrot someone else's explanations. they are rather for people who want to expand their own abilities and interests.

Formación

I am currently doing an English Literature BA(Hons) degree at Durham University.

I attended City of London School for Boys for secondary school and Sixth Form.

This class is for students who require assistance with editing academic or other work.

My goal is to improve the English content of students' written work as well as grammar. I will provide constructive feedback to enable students to develop their writing. This class will be offered for GCSE English onwards and includes university dissertations and other pieces of written work.

Salve!

Fancy a fluent conversation in Italian during a round of "al fresco" drinks? How about finding out that "al fresco" is actually Italian idioma for going to prison?
I'm an Italian PhD'er in Philosophy and Literature, experienced in language study, exchange and tuition... and I'm cheap!!

Up for basic conversations and quick grammar lessons, but I'll be very happy with you picking up a topic to be discussed!

Drop me a text for a nice pilot "chiacchierata" (chat!)!

I am a professional dancer and language enthusiast, with a passion for teaching. Fluent in English, Spanish, French and Norwegian. I am a university student currently working on a degree in Spanish language and literature and history of the Spanish speaking world.

I can help you whether you are a beginner wanting to learn a new language, preparing for an internship or studies abroad, or if you are in school and need some help preparing for tests and exams.

My teaching is tailored to each student and how they best learn. My goal is to keep all my lessons fun, interactive and dynamic, with a focus on efficient learning and motivation. Being a professional dance artist with experience from teaching dance, I believe gives me a creative approach to tutoring language.
Why do I want to work as a tutor? Because I want to share my love and passion for the language and the joy it brings me with my students. Having studied Spanish all through my years in school, I know that learning a language in school can be challenging, and I want to help with that.

Hi. I’m Manuel from the capital of Spain, Madrid. Currently I’m living in Liechtenstein finishing my Architecture Master.
When I was living in my country I never before could imagine how people loves the Spanish language. As a foreign here I realized that people from Switzerland considered the Spanish language as the second most important in the list after English. I just wanna enjoy with you sharing my Knowledge, and you could learn the native expressions (different than the book learning technic).

Have a nice day

I discovered my passion for education during my final year of secondary school. It all began when I became a tutor for a student with dyslexia who was struggling with English and Maths. With the help of a caring teacher who trusted in my abilities, I was able to help my student in her progress and growth for over two years. This experience showed me how much I love teaching and inspiring students to reach their full potential.

As I further explored this field, I welcomed more students into my schedule. I customised my teaching approach to each individual's unique goals and challenges. By tapping into their interests, personality, and learning pace, I create interactive and enjoyable classes that infuse the joy of learning into every session.

Many students view learning as a boring task; as a tutor, I aim to break down these barriers and show that learning and overcoming challenges can be exciting and is a great way to boost our self-confidence.

Whether you're a young learner aiming or an adult seeking to polish your language skills, I am here to be your guide, mentor, and biggest supporter on your educational journey!
