Early Literacy and Writing (nursery through early grades)

A partir de 70.91 $ /h

Early Literacy is fundamental for preparing students for primary school and beyond -- creating developmentally appropriate, structured, and fun lesson plans to support literacy can have an outsize impact in instilling a joy of learning and a sense of confidence in early readers. With a background in English Literature and teaching, I specialize in early learners and students for whom reading may feel intimidating. I will provide worksheets, activities, games, and work with parents to learn about what activities and topics are the most engaging for their student.

Información adicional

Chess for Beginners: Early Gameplay, Fundamental Strategy

47.28 $ /h

Chess is an engaging strategy game that supports and strengthens different cognitive fields; pattern recognition, calculation, planning and problem solving, and memory. Chess practice has been identified as a protective factor against dementia by health researchers, and it can provide a distinct form of mental engagement for those who haven't played before. Beyond its health and cognitive benefits, chess is fun! It is engaging and easy to learn, but hard to master. If you are interested in learning the fundamentals of chess, and developing a sense of strategy, I can teach online or in person. If you are someone who understands the fundamentals, and is looking for someone to practice with, and to analyze patterns of gameplay, we can do that too! My goal is to make chess fun, easy to understand, and something you can use as a way to develop a variety of skills!

I’m currently studying for a Master’s degree in Psychology, with a special focus on working with children and adolescents. As a child, chess was a large part of my development, and helped me to strengthen my focus, critical thinking,and problem-solving. I am eager to share this experience with you, and to help you or your student become a confident chess player!

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.

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 am flexible and plan according to individual needs. Lessons are fun and interactive.

In this course, you will learn a range of linguistic methods and learn the terms used for describing a specific aspect of language or phenomenon (lexis, morphemes, and 'telegraphic stage' to give a few examples). The course requires you to explore your own data using quantitative and qualitative analysis (eg: how frequently are slang phrases used? Are there new auxiliaries being created?). No historical linguistics or literature is involved, but language change or specific traits will be sampled via your own data collection (if this is what is demanded in your course).

As many students need to present a "year abroad" dissertation at University level (3rd year in the UK of a Modern Languages or Linguistics Undergraduate course) I can help you to research and structure your year abroad work, both in English (Linguistics) and Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish). The topics that have arisen from recent discussions with students relate to French Caribbean writing, Italian resistance and reprisals in Rome (Fosse Ardiatine), and Spanish Etica franquista in films (among others).

The early stages of education are essential to academic growth and understanding as they learn how to navigate the English language, expand their vocabulary and increase their knowledge of correct grammatical rules and spelling.

Sign your child up to this class for a fun and exciting learning experience where they can learn how to do all of the aforementioned and more!

A great way to spend the summer preparing for the next stage of their life or even during term time to get those extra precious hours in ;)

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!
