Trusted teacher: Having difficulties analysing poems and prose in your (I) GCSE / IB English Literature course? Looking to amp your essays up a notch and finally get that A/A* or 6/7 that you have been dreaming of? I am here to help. The first thing to remember: though analysing works of literature isn't always fun, everybody can master the techniques of how to do it. But learning takes time, which the school teacher may often lack. Indeed, it has been my own experience that English teachers often choose width over depth, and so discussions are cut short for the sake of covering all elements of the teaching programme, leaving many interesting aspects of a particular work unexplored. Or sometimes it's just the attention that wanders off as the teacher is explaining these pesky concepts of "writer's voice", "writer's tone", "meter", "rhymescheme" and so on. Let me assure you: that, too, happens even to the best of us. What I can offer you is exactly what a teacher normally does not time for: exploring a work of literature in as much detail (both analytical and technical) as it takes to push the quality of your essays up to the desired level. My approach is informed by IB / (I)GSCE Eng Lit course guidelines to make sure that the quality of your answer would be developed in accordance with what examiners want to see. Armed with a deep passion for literature on the one hand (reading and writing poems and short stories are one of my favorite things to do) and knowledge of ways of critical analysis (obtained in IB English Lit and reinforced by philosophy courses on university level) which are of tremendous importance in literary analysis as well, I will show you how to deconstruct any piece, how to place it in its cultural context, and make educated guesses about the links between cultural context and the author's choice of stylistical devices. And best of all - unlike in the classroom, the learning experience is tailored to you (based on your way of learning / remembering) and delivered in a highly interactive way! The skills described above, coupled with general essay writing tips will lend authority and style to your summative essays and exam answers, boosting your academic confidence.

Trusted teacher: Course Description: In this engaging and comprehensive tutoring course, students will embark on a journey through the captivating realms of English and literature. I will explore the fundamental aspects of language and delve into the intricate world of literary devices to foster a deep understanding and appreciation for these invaluable subjects. Importance of English and Literature: English and literature form the backbone of effective communication, critical thinking, and cultural understanding. Proficiency in these areas empowers individuals to articulate their ideas with clarity and eloquence, enhancing their professional and personal lives. Furthermore, literature provides a window into diverse cultures, historical periods, and human experiences, enabling me to empathize with others and expand my horizons. Real-Life Applications and Value: The skills acquired through this course will extend beyond the confines of the classroom, benefiting students in numerous aspects of their lives. Effective language usage is essential in all fields, from composing persuasive essays to delivering compelling speeches, and even communicating effectively in everyday conversations. The ability to analyze literary works enhances problem-solving skills and nurtures creativity, both of which are highly sought-after attributes in the professional world. Course Approach: I have designed this course to work from the very grassroots of English and literature, laying a solid foundation for students to build upon. I will start with fundamental concepts such as metaphors, similes, and personification, and gradually progress to more sophisticated literary devices such as imagery, alliteration, and foreshadowing. Each session will be interactive, encouraging students to actively participate in discussions and apply the concepts they learn. Learning Outcomes: By the end of this course, students will: - Develop a profound understanding of English grammar, syntax, and vocabulary, enabling them to express themselves fluently and coherently. - Recognize and employ various literary devices, enhancing their ability to analyze and interpret literature effectively. - Cultivate critical thinking skills by engaging with diverse literary works and exploring different perspectives. - Gain an appreciation for the power of language and its impact on communication and storytelling. - Strengthen their writing skills and craft compelling narratives, essays, and creative pieces. - Build confidence in their reading and interpretation abilities, empowering them to engage with complex texts. Join me in this journey through the world of English and literature, where I will work with you to unlock the power of language and foster a lifelong love for the written word. Let's build a strong foundation that will serve as a solid platform for your academic excellence and personal growth.

Trusted teacher: I have a track record of helping 11+, GCSE, A-Level and IB students improve their grades by at least two marks, and many of my students have graduated in the top 1% of their class. I also have considerable experience with helping students write personal statements which (given they've met the grading requirements) have secured them a place in Russel Group universities including Oxbridge. As an editor and writer, I also provide lessons in creative writing. I tutor clients in areas ranging from: - A Level - English Literature and Language - GCSE – English Literature and Language - Pre-GCSE (KS1,2 and 3) – English - Undergraduate Degree Level – English - 11+ (English, Verbal Reasoning) In the first lesson, I provide a detailed assessment of every student. I start by gauging what my student feels they need help with and what they see as their strengths and weaknesses. Then, together, we will come up with a detailed study plan. I have tried and tested methods of preparing students for their exams whether it be helping them understand essay technique, close reading of texts, understanding literary techniques, preparing revision material or learning how to speak and/or write persuasively. According to the needs of the student, I can also assign homework so that the student can maintain their engagement with the topic until the next session. I believe everyone learns differently, and it is my responsibility as a tutor to understand the tutee's learning style so that I can tailor my lessons to the student at hand. This gives them a better chance at grasping linguistic and literary concepts, and, as a result, reaching their full potential.

Che
Excellent responsible teacher who knows what he does and knows what he teaches. And now, after few lessons, I can witness the difference. My daughter has just got much better results in her written essays at school, and has just received her English teacher's congratulations. So, a thousand thanks for your help and patience!

Ilia
I had my first ever Russian lesson with Ilia and I enjoyed it so much! He's very patient and organised and showed up to the first class with excellent materials pre-prepared. He explains everything in a clear manner. I'm looking forward to our future classes. If you're a beginner don't be afraid to book a class with Ilia.

She is a good teacher for the kids who want to learn English. The class has various activities even on online so that my son keeps his interest. Ophelia reacts nicely every time and I believe this is good motivation which can keep their interests.
