Film Studies - Critical Analysis,
Van 61.71 € /h
I offer tailored Film Studies lessons that blend critical analysis, essay support, and practical filmmaking techniques. With over 20 years of teaching experience and hands-on filmmaking practice, I help students from GCSE to MA level strengthen their analytical thinking, academic writing, and creative project skills.
My approach combines structured guidance, constructive feedback, and a supportive learning environment. Many of my students have gone on to achieve top grades in essays and coursework — results that reflect the same approach I bring to Film Studies tutoring.
What you’ll learn:
- How to analyse films critically using key theories, frameworks, and genres
- Effective academic writing for essays, coursework, and exams
- Practical filmmaking: screenwriting, storyboarding, and basic production
- How to connect theory and practice to develop original film projects
- Confidence in presenting ideas and structuring arguments clearly
- Strategies to achieve top marks in Film Studies assignments and exams

Extra informatie
Lessons are tailored to each student’s goals — whether you’re preparing for GCSE or A Level exams, writing a university dissertation, or developing a short film idea.
I provide all necessary materials, including film extracts, reading guides, study packs and essay feedback. Students are encouraged to share drafts or ideas in advance so we can make the most of our lesson time.
Classes are available online or in person (depending on location) and can focus on theory, writing, or practical filmmaking skills.
Above all, I aim to create a relaxed, supportive space where students gain confidence, think critically, and enjoy exploring film.
