English Literature + Academic Writing For Students

From 20.39 € /h

English Literature is a commonly taught subject in school, but for good reason. The concepts taught in these classes help us learn crucial lessons about our society and ourselves. This is because the themes and traits of character in these books reflect humanity to be more relatable to readers. The skills that are often taught in Literature classes are academic writing, analyzing books & their meanings, and writing essays.

As a college student who is currently majoring in English & Comparative Literature, I understand and utilize these skills in my college endeavors. Whether I am writing academically in my Rhetoric Written Argument 200 class, analyzing but also making meaning out of a 55 chapter book (Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie) in my Introduction to English and Comparative Literature class, or writing creatively to tell stories in my Introduction to Creative Writing class, I am still using those skills I learned in high school and middle school to create ideas and improve myself.

In my class, I will be tutoring your student based on their academic needs. On the first day of class, I will provide an activity to assess what your student thrives at and what they need to improve on. From then on, I will create activities based off of the skill/skills your student should be working on, whether that be analyzing, annotating, writing essays/academic writing, etc. I will also connect ideas together to help your student understand the bigger picture of Literature. For example, I could teach your student how annotating your book leads to understanding the content better, which then leads to being able to complete assignments at a better quality, and that would then lead to understanding the material more comprehensively, and that leads to scoring well on tests and/or essays.

My classroom will help students feel comfortable to ask questions and to grow because I understand how important it is to ask questions in a judgement free environment. As a student who recently undertook the middle and high school experiences, as compared to many teachers, I value your student's experience and I want to help your student enjoy it. Pressures from school can lead to immense stress, which is why I want to create a fun and effective learning environment for your student based off of their needs.

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.

This class is designed for students who want to improve their academic English, essay writing, grammar and overall ability to express ideas clearly and effectively in written English. Lessons are personalised based on each student’s level, goals, and the type of writing or academic support they need.

I can help with essay structure, grammar, analysis, argument development, vocabulary, academic style, proofreading guidance, and improving clarity and confidence in writing. Lessons are suitable for students working on school essays, assignments, academic projects, presentations, university applications, or preparing for academically demanding English courses such as IGCSE or the IB Diploma Programme.

Having completed both IGCSEs and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) in an international school fully taught in English, I understand the challenges students often face when trying to write in a clear, analytical, and academically strong way. During the IB, I studied English A language and literature, which strengthened my analytical writing and critical thinking skills and gave me extensive experience with academic essays and textual analysis.

Lessons are supportive, engaging, and adapted individually to each student. Depending on the student’s needs, classes can focus more on essay writing, academic structure, grammar, analytical thinking, or developing a more natural and confident academic writing style overall.

I offer relaxed, personalized English lessons for students of all ages and levels in Vienna. I tailor my lessons to your specific needs and goals, whether it’s exam preparation, proofreading, homework help, improving conversation skills, or simply becoming more confident speaking English in everyday life.

As someone who has been learning German since the age of 12, I understand how challenging and sometimes intimidating it can be to learn another language. My goal as a tutor is not only to help students improve their English skills, but also to create a supportive and open learning environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and having fun along the way.

I focus on making English feel natural, approachable, and enjoyable, with lessons adapted to each student’s interests, pace, and learning style.

Class Description:
Reading and writing are the fundamentals of communication, every day life, and critical thinking. Reading allows individuals to inquire knowledge while writing allows individuals to communicate. My goal is to help students pronounce and read vocabulary words efficiently and write with accurate spelling and proper punctuation.
I'm very passionate about the study of communication because it is how humans have evolved throughout history; it is how we communicate, share our marketplace of ideas, and connect as a society.

English language skills are increasingly regarded essential in any academic or professional situation, thus we must guarantee that young people in our community learn English as soon as possible. Kids are capable of accomplishing great things if given the opportunity and encouragement. I think that every child is unique in their own way, and that if given the correct tools, they can do amazing things. That is why I created this class; it is very important to me to instill in my students a love of the English language and literature, as well as to make my classes as enjoyable and engaging as possible.

This class uses the direct method, hence English is the sole language spoken. Through my teaching experience, I've discovered that this strategy is really effective and has resulted in significant improvement in my students English levels.
