English Literature + Academic Writing For Students

From 20.36 € /h

English Literature is a commonly taught subject in school, but for good reason. The concepts taught in these classes help us learn crucial lessons about our society and ourselves. This is because the themes and traits of character in these books reflect humanity to be more relatable to readers. The skills that are often taught in Literature classes are academic writing, analyzing books & their meanings, and writing essays.

As a college student who is currently majoring in English & Comparative Literature, I understand and utilize these skills in my college endeavors. Whether I am writing academically in my Rhetoric Written Argument 200 class, analyzing but also making meaning out of a 55 chapter book (Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie) in my Introduction to English and Comparative Literature class, or writing creatively to tell stories in my Introduction to Creative Writing class, I am still using those skills I learned in high school and middle school to create ideas and improve myself.

In my class, I will be tutoring your student based on their academic needs. On the first day of class, I will provide an activity to assess what your student thrives at and what they need to improve on. From then on, I will create activities based off of the skill/skills your student should be working on, whether that be analyzing, annotating, writing essays/academic writing, etc. I will also connect ideas together to help your student understand the bigger picture of Literature. For example, I could teach your student how annotating your book leads to understanding the content better, which then leads to being able to complete assignments at a better quality, and that would then lead to understanding the material more comprehensively, and that leads to scoring well on tests and/or essays.

My classroom will help students feel comfortable to ask questions and to grow because I understand how important it is to ask questions in a judgement free environment. As a student who recently undertook the middle and high school experiences, as compared to many teachers, I value your student's experience and I want to help your student enjoy it. Pressures from school can lead to immense stress, which is why I want to create a fun and effective learning environment for your student based off of their needs.

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.
