Language is an important communication skill that, when used precisely and treated with care, can be so powerful that it can bring even the most disparate of people into common ground.

Literature is similar, allowing a look into the minds of others. It is an important reflection of the time and cultural situation in which it was written and allows the reader to have a well rounded view of the society they live in as a whole.


I can provide language lessons for people, beginner to advanced students in English and Spanish, as well as Italian. Furthermore, I can support literary studies and offer in depth discussions about texts as well as help on structuring essays and general study habits.


Furthermore, if needed, I can provide to students help in writing personal statements for university and in preparing for interviews (most specifically for Oxbridge candidates).

It is not needed for a student to do all three options, they may choose to their liking what they would like support on.
Informations supplémentaires
Bring a laptop and something to take notes on. In the case that you are studying literature send me your text in advance and in the case that you are wanting support on personal statements, send me it in advance.

Présentation
Hi, I’m Barbara! I am 19 years old and grew up in Glasgow. I love to read, write (prose, songs, anything) and play guitar. I am friendly, creative and incredibly passionate about my subject (and have been known to get a bit obsessive about it - good for my students, bad for my social life). I love horror films, and would love to work on an Ti West project (no matter how far fetched that is).

My classes are casual, as I am focused on the comfort of my students, and the meetings would be propelled forward by the student’s needs and wants. I am able to go through developing close reading skills, as well as essay structuring and how to break down questions. In terms of a language paper, I can make vocabulary lists as well as grammar sheets, and the student and I would be able to practice an immersive conversation to improve confidence in language ability.
