About Me

I am a humanities and arts enthusiast who loves to teach and share my passions with others. My personal background is in Liberal Arts at Bristol where my focus was in English Literature, History, French and Media. During this time I also spent a year studying abroad in Uppsala, Sweden where I studied comparative literature, history and languages. At Glasgow I studied Art History. I enjoy the variety offered by interdisciplinary study of the Humanities.

Throughout my education and professional experiences, I have often found myself teaching. I have worked as a dance teacher for young children and adults, a summer school instructor for children and teenagers, and a GCSE tutor. In each instance, I have always enjoyed getting to know the students in order to decipher which methods of teaching will be most appropriate for each individual in order to achieve their learning and assessment objectives. I thrive when I am able to adapt my teaching to different students’ needs in order to assure their success and confidence in the subject. Since pursuing my level 5 TEFL qualification, I have learned that this adaptability with my teaching strategies will be essential, especially for students speaking English as a second language. Another consistency I’ve found in my education and work is that I’ve often been part of an international community, with people of many different nationalities and language backgrounds. As a result, colleagues and classmates often ask for my assistance in English pronunciation, spelling and proofreading; whether this be checking the grammar and vocabulary of a text, a professional email, or a university essay. In these situations I’ve always been excited to determine the best way to explain a concept or rule of English to a second language speaker, and to offer them support and confidence in improving their English proficiency and academic writing abilities.

Having tutored GCSE students over the past academic year, I understand the importance of teaching students to follow assessment criteria and exam specifications in a manner which feels engaging and helps them develop a passion for their subjects. I am confident in assessing a student’s strengths and weaknesses in their class work, revision notes and practice assessments, and constructing study plans to best support them and help them improve their input and grades. Some students, for example, may have effective revision skills, but may not be focusing on content relevant to their exams; while others struggle to strike a balance between demonstrating their factual knowledge and analytical abilities in essay-centric subjects. I enjoy identifying these differences between each student and customising my teaching in order to help them overcome these struggles. My focus on English Language, Literature and History throughout my GCSEs, A Levels, Undergraduate and Postgraduate degrees, and Extended Project Qualification has refined my skills in essay writing. I enjoy planning, structuring and proofreading essays, as well as researching, referencing, drafting and editing coursework. I am eager to pass these skills onto my students in order to make the essay writing process more accessible and enjoyable, and to give them confidence as they progress further in their education.

I am looking forward to creating lesson plans which will create a suitable balance of studying factual course content, developing a student’s analytical abilities, and their skills in communicating their own ideas and interpretations of the course material. I am confident in teaching all exam boards of GCSE, IGCSE and A-Level English Language, Literature and History.

Elise
French private lessons by university graduate in Letters
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.
