Perfect Your Essays and Learn to Work Efficiently!

Nothing can boost your grade quite like a well-written essay. It's a brilliant exercise in critical thought, analysis, and comprehension that can help you interpret the world and its media long after graduation. In my classes, I focus on how to most efficiently express yourself, using the following technique:

- Spending the majority of the process on the OUTLINE - knowing what you're going to say is the hard part, so let's knock that out first, the rest is easy!
- Use of vocabulary - advance your speech in order to convey exactly what you want to say.
- How to think critically - I will review with you what you should be looking for when you read, for maximum enjoyment as well as analysis.

I look forward to seeing you in the Zoom Room!

Extra information

Have a notebook or Word Doc ready - you'll be writing quite a bit.

About Me

I'm a recent graduate living in England with loads of experience in tutoring, happy to help you communicate your ideas clearly. My favourite part of school was essay-writing, and I'd be thrilled to share my knowledge and passion for it with you!

A class with me works a little like this:
- An introduction to you - what's your name, your favourite class, and your favourite book? This helps me gauge what your style may be as a writer and learner, plus helps put you at ease.
- An introduction to essays - what's your experience with them? How do you currently write?
- An introduction to my technique - Exercises designed to help you practice good, efficient writing techniques.

I'll be happy to read over your material and give positive, constructive feedback. If we have a little time, I'll even gossip about books to you!

English Literature, Creative Writing Essay writing, poetry and Shakespeare tutoring
I am going to teach about English literature and Creative Writing. For English literature I can help students with essay writing, do some editing to their essay, help them with analysing quotes, and teaching them about the topics of literature and literary techniques. I would also teach them how to write a comparative essay. For creative writing, I would teach them about writing in different styles, like: a journal, a review, a letter or article. I would also be able to help with understanding poetry and Shakespeare. I prefer to teach the lesson online on Zoom.
