Giles was an absolute delight to work through my essay with and I passed too ☺️🙏
Good Lesson
Enjoyed introduction to poetry. Mr Goodlands knows how to engage a novice taking them step by step into the subject.
I am a widely published poet and experienced and knowledgeable teacher willing to give poetry classes at any level, whether you are struggling to write your first poem or are assembling a first collection. My approach is constructive, friendly and approachable.
People often do not know where to start with poetry, and the books give contradictory advice. I am a widely published poet and experienced and knowledgeable teacher, able to give advice, exercises, constructive feedback, and engaged classes with a no-nonsense approach to what works in a poem, and how to structure and revise effectively.
I am an experienced and knowledgeable English Literature teacher with an Oxford University Doctorate. My approach is friendly and supportive, stressing the importance of understanding the text and practising writing essays that refer to the correct topics and are well structured.

English Language Learning for Pre-Intermediate and Advance
Learning English as a new language can be a challenge, but it doesn't have to be! I make ESL learning easy. My programs include fun activities, interactive lessons and useful resources. You can improve your language skills in no time. With my programs, the LEARNERS are at the CENTER. My ultimate goal is for STUDENTS to LOVE LEARNING. Sharing the learning process with my learners is one of the keys to a successful learning journey. Students in my class are given many opportunities to practice more than listen to me talk. I create LESSONS BASED on the LEVEL, NEEDS and GOALS of the STUDENTS. As a result, my STUDENTS SHOW IMPROVEMENT after a few weeks. However, what I love to see more than anything is my students feel this! The STUDENTS feel the CHANGE. Get ready to take your English skills to the next level wherever you may be in the world.

It's easy to get confused writing in English. Even if it is your first language, the way you write for academic, professional or adult purposes is very different to what they teach you at school. I have significant expertise in every major field of writing, and can help you improve your written English. Depending on your personal needs, this could be anything from helping you get comfortable with just putting sentences together all the way to improving your academic referencing and citation style.

Jai Yoon
Private Tutor for English Language Reading and Writing
Hello, I am Jai, and I have graduated from an American middle school and high school. I am interested in helping middle school, high school, or university students with their essay-writing and reading comprehension skills. The tutor sessions will vary, depending on your goals, motivations, and needs. For instance, if you have a school assignment, we can review your work and go over your strengths and weaknesses; if you want to improve your overall English, we can structure the session as if it were an English high school class (since that is what I am most familiar with). However, since learning a language requires one to read, write, listen, and speak the language, the session will inevitably touch upon these adjacent skills. The areas I am most experienced with tutoring are: schoolwork, standardized English-language exams (e.g., TOEFL, SAT, AP English Literature and Composition), and proofreading university-level academic writing.

I teach all areas under English and also help students with undergraduate applications to Universities in the U.S.A
Relying on Carol's Dweck research in teaching and learning, I believe that a student who is struggling is just a student who hasn't YET understood the concept being taught. I hope to help students develop a growth-mindset in order to do well in the subject areas I teach (NB: I encourage students to watch the 11 min Tedtalk by Dweck titled "The power of yet"). My class is student-focused which means that I constantly adjust lessons to students current level while encouraging them to excel.
