    Literature course (in English or in French - for teenagers)

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    The goal is to give the maximum of tools to the student to understand how to analyze a work.
    I fully understand the frustration that this may cause a student to not understand the subject to be analyzed and how to ask his ideas, and I would like to be able to help at best.

    About Me

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    IN FRENCH:
    I have always had a passion for languages and have noticed that very often what prevents people from effectively speaking a language is the difficulty of understanding certain grammar rules, certain words, certain expressions. (Why is it like that ?! How do you say that ?!) I also noticed that these questions are sometimes sources of frustration for some people, and I would really like to help these people overcome these questions and quench their curiosity.

    As for literature, I have also always liked the analysis of work and would like to share with my future students the appropriate techniques to analyze texts and other works. Again, I understand the source of frustration, and it is extremely annoying to find yourself in front of a text in French (or English) and not know where to begin when the teacher asks to analyze X passage.

    IN ENGLISH:
    I've always had a passion for languages, and I've always had a lot of questions about grammatical rules, some words, some expressions even say this ??) I have also noticed that these questions are often the source of frustrations for some people, and I would sincerely love to help those people to overcome those queries and quench their thirst for knowledge and curiosity.

    Regarding litterature, I've always liked to analyze different works and would like to share with my future students different techniques to analyze a text (or any other media). Again, I understand the frustration you may feel; It's extremely stressful and disheartening to sit before you.

    Education

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    I got my gymnasiale maturity in 2017 at Rousseau College, with English as a special option.
    Then I spent a whole year at UNIGE's Faculty of Letters, before starting to study in International Relations.

    Experience / Qualifications

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    I have very little professional experience.
    Until now, I have only been a rehearser (in total for about a year and a half) and Cat sitter for a summer.
    However all the people for whom I have worked so far have been very happy with me and the work done.
    This course is intended for beginners and intermediates requiring support, so mainly young students still at school and having difficulties, or adults wishing to improve their English - either with practice or by clarifying grammar points. The goal is to best help identify gaps and achieve student goals (eg, improve spoken / written English, have a better understanding of English grammar, better understand nuances, learn relevant vocabulary , etc.). The type of learning, the needs, the preferences, the interests and the difficulties will be taken into account in order to create a personalized program adapted to the student without overburdening him / her.
    My main goal is to teach the french language to people still struggling to grasp the intricacies and complexities of the language. I am perfectly aware that it is difficult to understand and to be able to understand it. I will try to explain things as clearly as possible, and will be more likely to drop out of the classroom. (unless you wish me to do otherwise - I will switch accordingly to your wish-). I can help you out with: -conversation practice -extention of (relevent) vocabulary -grasping the grammar -grasping expressions -written expression

    French lessons given by a motivated and motivating teacher!
    Teacher for more than seven years in Geneva, I am passionate about my work and, in general, by the French language. I can help you in language as in literature; together we will find the means for you to progress. My goal is to give meaning to knowledge and to show that we can study French while having fun! I also have a master's degree in modern French, general history and French didactics. I offer weekly monitoring through an online platform, so you can measure your progress and practice outside of lessons. I like to offer several means of learning, from the most basic (doing exercises, copying sentences) to the most modern (playing small games, watching videos ...). It all depends on the student and their expectations. No method is imposed; the important thing is that you feel good and that you can familiarize yourself with the tools adapted to your profile. It is quite possible for me to help with the writing / correction of work, to finish; I will not do them for you of course, but can provide you with the support and follow-up you need to make them happen. See you soon !

    AQA GCSE English literature - Power and conflict Poetry
    This class is for AQA English literature, specifically Power and Conflict Poetry that appear in GCSE English lit paper 1. Using my passion for literature, and guided by notes and essays i still have from my own GCSEs, for which i obtained a grade 9, this lesson is designed to guide the student into understanding the material presented, being able to compare between any two poems confidently, as well as being able to write a well structured and comprehensive essay that will obtain them a higher grade. Note: I will also have classes specifically for other elements of the course targeted for different sections and papers, such as An Inspector Calls and AQA English Language. If the student needs tutoring in any combination or all of these subject areas, you can still feel free to book lessons in a package and just specify what areas you want me to focus on. I am also hoping to be able to teach Romeo and Juliet and A Christmas carol, but need to go through and remake notes and refresh my understandig of these works, so teaching of these may be delayed. Note 2: due to circumstaces out of my control I am aiming to begin lessons in Early July

    School support for exam preparation and academic success
    Student in MBA (Master of Business Administration), and having completed my secondary studies at the Collège du Léman, a renowned international school, I obtained my bilingual federal diploma with honors as well as the American High School diploma. My specific option (OS) in Economics and Law defined my choice of university studies and today I am more than happy to share my knowledge with students of all levels. Having several years of experience in teaching private lessons especially in French (dissertations, text studies and literary analyzes) my method is based on the pedagogy and the adaptation of the content and the form of the course according to the needs of the pupil. I work with the student in order to optimize his academic performance and consolidate his confidence as well as his abilities with a view to obtaining a demanding higher diploma. Please take into consideration that the first lesson consists of a ten-minute session during which a first contact is made with the student in order to identify his shortcomings and set performance objectives.

    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.
