A partir de 98.26 $ /h

I have a PhD in Theology from Cambridge. I studied English Literature as an undergraduate. I have 20+ years of experience teaching English and 10+ years of experience coaching students how to write an engaging personal statement and editing dissertations, papers, and research proposals.

I can work with you on how to write an academic essay in a humanities or social sciences subject. Do note that while my background is in Theology and English, I can guide you on how to write an academic paper in other subjects since research papers follow the same format. However, I will not be able to advise you on subject-specific details.

Personal statement for UCAS and graduate school application

82.59 $ /h

I am an admissions consultant specialising in guiding students to apply to universities or graduate schools in the US and the UK. Most of my clients are third or fourth-year undergraduates or professionals with a few years of work experience applying to graduate schools.

My teaching philosophy is to be a mentor, friend, and sometimes emotional support counsellor for my clients. The admissions process can be daunting, especially for students with little or no experience writing personal statements and academic essays. I guide my students on a journey of self-discovery as they explore what they want to study and why.

When I am working with a student on crafting their personal statement, I will first ask my student to brainstorm ideas. We will discuss what to keep and what to delete when we are structuring the essay. I will then guide them on using the STAR method to give examples and details to demonstrate their skill or experience. The final stage is polishing the essay so it reads well and still retains the student's voice.

I also coach secondary school and undergraduate students how to write academic essays. They need to first become familiar with the materials by reading extensively and writing summaries and critiques. I will then guide them on how to come up with an argument and how to structure the essay. Finally, we will add supporting details and examples to demonstrate the main points.

My English speaking courses are paired up with my English writing courses.

You can choose the article you want to work on. It can be a news article about current affairs, an article from National Geographic or Harvard Business Review, or a fun article about dogs.

We will work on one article for each set of writing and speaking courses.

For the writing course, you will write a 1000-word summary and critique of the article and send it to me. I will revise your essay, give you feedback on what you can improve, and explain why your sentences are incorrect or unidiomatic.

The writing course is conducted via email.

We will then have a speaking course on Zoom or Skype.

My English speaking courses are all about YOU speaking and me correcting your mistakes. English speaking skills can’t be improved through chit-chat.

It is about correcting your mistakes repeatedly until you have internalised the correct usage.

I am an extremely patient teacher. Language skills can only be acquired through repetition and having someone correct the same mistake multiple times.

In the speaking course, you will present your selected article. I want you to take notes for your presentation before the class.

You will summarise the article, and I will correct your grammar, pronunciation, and word usage mistakes.

You will do your presentation a few times until there are few mistakes and you sound fluent.

We will then move on to a discussion of the article.

I also offer test prep courses for the TOEFL and IELTS. I specialise in teaching the writing and speaking sections.

With a Master's degree from TAI School, and having taught two courses there since 2024, I now offer one-on-one tutoring to help you improve your writing and let your ideas take flight. And all in English. As an American with real-world Hollywood production experience (on films like The Neon Demon and the Oscar-winning Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), I bring not only a solid foundation in narrative and storytelling, but also practical insight into how your writing influences production, performance, and even financing.

Having lived in Spain for almost a decade has given me a global perspective on film and a deep understanding of international and cultural narrative paradigms. With three short films screened at international festivals (and a fourth premiering this year), I can confidently guide you toward stronger, clearer, and producible writing that stands out and, hopefully, comes to fruition. Not confident in your English? No problem! With extensive experience teaching the language, I'll also help you with translation (from Spanish, of course) so your writing style becomes more fluid and natural.

As a student at Duke Kunshan University, I provide more than just a language lesson—I provide a global perspective. My classes are personalized for two specific goals:

1. For Children & Teens: Fun, immersive sessions using games and storytelling to build confidence and native-like pronunciation. 2. For University Students/Adults: Mastering 'Academic English' for essays or 'Fluent Spanish' for travel and business.

I focus on the 'Pain Points' of learning: breaking down complex grammar into simple steps and focusing on Speaking from Day 1. My method is interactive, logical, and designed for fast progress

Olá! Tudo bem? Prazer, meu nome é Paloma.

I am a Portuguese teacher, translator, proofreader, language lover, and lifelong learner.

I am originally from Recife, Brazil, and since 2020, I have discovered my passion for teaching the Portuguese language. Despite having an initial education in a different area, it was through learning languages and teaching my students that I developed my skills as a teacher. I have also pursued further university certificates in linguistics, Portuguese as a foreign language, teaching methodologies, and translation.

I have always been passionate about languages. In addition to Portuguese, I speak English and Spanish, and I am currently studying other languages (this is one of my hobbies).

My experience as a language learner has given me the essential tools to support my students on their journey to learning Portuguese.

Whether you are starting from scratch or looking to advance your fluency, I am here to help you speak with confidence and joy.

You decide how you want to learn — our classes can be in English or fully in Portuguese for total immersion! My goal is to create a supportive, engaging, and dynamic learning environment where you feel comfortable and motivated to achieve your best.

Why learn with me?
• Personalised lessons tailored to your goals and learning style
• A balance between structure and flexibility, so you stay on track while enjoying the process
• Engaging and interactive classes that incorporate real-life conversations, cultural insights, and fun exercises
• A patient, encouraging approach to keep you motivated and confident

In our first lesson, I will assess your level, learning preferences, and areas of improvement so we can create the best strategies to help you progress as quickly as possible.

If you do not see an available time slot that works for you, do not hesitate to message me — I will do my best to accommodate your schedule!

I cannot wait to meet you and be part of your language-learning journey! Schedule your first lesson, and let’s get started.
