Early Literacy and Writing (nursery through early grades)

From 60.78 € /h

Early Literacy is fundamental for preparing students for primary school and beyond -- creating developmentally appropriate, structured, and fun lesson plans to support literacy can have an outsize impact in instilling a joy of learning and a sense of confidence in early readers. With a background in English Literature and teaching, I specialize in early learners and students for whom reading may feel intimidating. I will provide worksheets, activities, games, and work with parents to learn about what activities and topics are the most engaging for their student.

Extra information

Class will include flashcards, games, and worksheets -- let me know what materials you have on hand (pencils, markers, etc), and I will furnish whatever else is needed

Chess for Beginners: Early Gameplay, Fundamental Strategy

40.52 € /h

Chess is an engaging strategy game that supports and strengthens different cognitive fields; pattern recognition, calculation, planning and problem solving, and memory. Chess practice has been identified as a protective factor against dementia by health researchers, and it can provide a distinct form of mental engagement for those who haven't played before. Beyond its health and cognitive benefits, chess is fun! It is engaging and easy to learn, but hard to master. If you are interested in learning the fundamentals of chess, and developing a sense of strategy, I can teach online or in person. If you are someone who understands the fundamentals, and is looking for someone to practice with, and to analyze patterns of gameplay, we can do that too! My goal is to make chess fun, easy to understand, and something you can use as a way to develop a variety of skills!

I’m currently studying for a Master’s degree in Psychology, with a special focus on working with children and adolescents. As a child, chess was a large part of my development, and helped me to strengthen my focus, critical thinking,and problem-solving. I am eager to share this experience with you, and to help you or your student become a confident chess player!

Actor of formation having lived abroad (London and Toronto), I love English and I would like everyone to know how to speak it! There is indeed a delay in France with respect to English, which is remembered is spoken worldwide and is the first language of communication! And this comes mainly from the lack of confidence in the oral. That is why with you I will work above all on the ease and the confidence but also on the pronunciation and the rhythm.

I love the French language and pass this on to my students when I teach. Lots of speaking, listening to everyday conversations in various contexts, French songs, practising grammar and new vocabulary. Suitable for school children or adults.
English as a second language is another speciality of mine. I make my lessons interesting and fun. Speaking is the most important part but also writing notes as it is easier to remember afterwards. Listening to conversations and answering questions on them afterwards, while always checking grammar. I can guarantee fast progress.

I do not write essays for students but provide a high degree of research to allow you to shine in your project or chosen module. I don't use AI.

Hello! My name is Abdrahman, from Nigeria. I have studied Arabic language (including reading, writing, listening and speaking skills). I also studied Quran & it's sciences, Tajweed, and other Islamic studies for more than fourteen years.

I have studied Arabic from the International Open University and Arabic Institute.

Currently, I'm also an Undergraduate student of Islamic Studies Education in the University of Lagos, Akoka. I also study under the tutelage of Sheikh Raslān from Egypt.

I am a tutor of modern standard Arabic, classical Arabic (the language of Quran and Hadith) and colloquial Arabic ('āmiyyah).

I love teaching Arabic because it is a very important language of Islam. Prophet Muhammad S.A.W said we should love Arabic language because: he is an Arabic, the holy Quran is in Arabic language and the language of the paradise dwellers is Arabic.

I also love teaching Arabic language because it is the fifth most spoken language in the world.

It is the official language of 26 countries including 5 of the wealthiest countries in the world. And it's sixth most spoken language in the world.

Learning such a language will avail you to the discovery of most interesting cultures in today's world. It will also look good in your resume.

With Arabic language, you'll become a polyglot and you will be able to adapt to the environments of Arab. As a Muslim, with Arabic language, you'll have thorough understanding of Quran and Sunnah.

I have been tutoring Arabic and Islamic Studies since 2014 both online and offline till date. I tutor the learners between the ages of 5 - 80.

The focus of my instruction is on all the important skills of the language (reading, writing, listening and speaking), grammar and vocabulary development. With these, you'll be able to intermingle with Arabic speaking people in any Arab environment you find yourself and of course, you'll have yourself prepared and fit for any formal exam.

I am also certified to instruct in the memorization of Quran, the sciences of Quran like different versions of Quranic recitation (riwāyāt), the exegesis of Quran (tafsīr), e.t.c

I have syllabus and materials for tutoring Arabic efficiently within a period of six to twelve months.

I'm well experienced in tutoring with these books:

➡️ I love Arabic

➡️ Lessons in Arabic language

➡️ Nūrul bayān

➡️ Iqrā' qirā'tī

➡️ Qā'idāh Nūrāniyyah

➡️ Qā'idāh Makkiyyah

➡️ Qā'idāh Baghdādiyyah

➡️ Arabic in your hands

➡️ Tuhfatul Atfāl

➡️ Exegesis of Ibn Kathīr e.t.c

I also have experience in teaching English language and Philosophy.

Learning English language helps in developing ideas and communicating them.

I would be glad to be your tutor in this journey, choose me and you will not regret it.

See you in my class!

I have 7 years of teaching experience. I'm a certified Arabic and English teacher. I have TESL and simplified Arabic certification. My teaching method is philosophical, experimental and persuasive. My teaching approach is simple to complex.
