Experienced Writer offering Support in English Literature, Language and Creative Writing

Von 37.54 $ /Std

I am a passionate English Literature student at the University of Kent with years of Creative Writing experience. I've studied writing at the University of Amsterdam, have written and directed my own play, and have been published by various student papers, zines and online publications.
I'm seeking to offer support to up to First Year University students in English language and literature studies, as well as helping students develop their critical and creative voice in their writing. I can compliment their studies, develop their understanding of and engagement with their curriculums, and increase individuality and confidence in their work.

I achieved an A* in my English Literature and an A in my English Language iGCSEs, and am on track for a First Class English Literature degree.

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.

Hi there!

As a teacher of Russian and English with years' of experience, I love my job because it allows me to see people's progress in learning new languages as well as their eminent success!
What's the most important thing for me as a teacher? I guess it is to find an individual approach to everyone. My goal is to make a lesson as efficient and entertaining as possible. Engaging tasks that encourage students to be focused on their goal to speak, understand and use the language is a must! Moreover, I cannot ignore various cultural aspects hence include interesting discussions on culture and history since it is also highly important when learning a language.
As a native Russian, I am eager to share my knowledge about Russian traditions, history and culture with my students. As a specialist in English, I am ready to discuss American literature and culture too!
Shoot me a message if you are interested in what I've just texted here.
Cheers!

I offer an approach to writing that goes beyond the basic technical details. This is because when it comes to writing, I believe the personal is the most important. By talking to you about your experience of writing, I will help you realize your project to its fullest creative potential. Questions about your project will include: How do you plan it? What goes through your head when you sit down to start? What role does re-reading and editing play in your writing process? Opening up this space for exploration will allow you to then insert the appropriate technical details. In addition, if English is a foreign language, my ESL-teaching background should let us find the right language solutions when necessary.

I offer help with: Essays, Manuscripts, Poetry, Non-fiction/Prose, and Marketing Content.

I'm a graduate student of clinical psychology, have studied and tutored at multiple international universities, while on the other hand working with small editing and publication groups in NYC and Berlin, as well as recently putting out my own book of poems.

Qualified English professor from England, I have a BA and MA in Linguistics (English). I am also qualified for the IELTS/TOEFL exams, IGCSEs A-Levels. I can also correct your written work (university thesis...). I adapt my lessons according to the level and needs of the student. We will work together on grammar, reading, speaking and listening. I will correct your pronunciation and I can give you some lessons based on phonetics. If you wish, we can also work on more specific subjects such as business, medicine, literature, interpreting etc.

I travel a lot but that doesn't stop me from giving the lessons via webcam, very appreciated in general by the students (the notes written by the teacher are saved in the conversation, possibility to share the screen for interactive activities, no need to run to the teacher's house 😉 ). You can always try a course and judge for yourself (30 min or 1 hour).

All the students who have had the lessons with me on Apprentus have repeatedly booked the lessons (as well as my former student Justine who had her lessons during the Covid and at that time, I was stuck abroad ;-) ). Recently, I had the pleasure to see my student improving from 20% to 90% on her English writing exam after only a few lessons. She has been taking lessons with me for almost a year and would like to continue her lessons. 😊

Still not sure whether the course is for you? Send me a message and I'll be glad to get back to you! See you soon ! 😊

Are you having difficulties analysing texts, poems and prose in your IGCSE English, IB English Literature or IB LangLit course? Are you ready to commit an hour every week over the summer to get that 6 or 7 and get into the university of your dreams? Then this is the course for you!

From helping you master the general techniques of literary analysis and teaching you how to compare literary works to answer exam questions on character development, theme and techniques, my course will provide you with all the tools and knowledge you need to dazzle even the most demanding IB examiner. The combination of my passion for writing prose and poetry and my deep understanding of IB marking criteria thanks to great teachers and thoughtful research means that I am uniquely placed to not only explain what your answers were lacking, but also show you how thinking like a writer can help you dramatically improve your answers.

Following a thorough discussion of your individual needs in our first class, I will create for you an engaging but exam-focused programme drawing on my 3-year experience as a tutor and using interactive teaching platforms. Through my course, you will get access to a vast library of resources (at no extra cost) - from official IB textbooks and past papers to teacher guidance - to help you perfect both your analytical and essay-writing skills. And if English is your second language, I will show you what to focus on in your learning so that you could write better than Shakespeare!

Are you ready to turn the page on disappointing grades in the past? Then contact me today!

I accompany students throughout their school or university year, determining with them a specific objective: excellence and success in a competition or examination, the acquisition of a literary culture and a solid method allowing a significant increase in marks, but above all a renewed relationship with literature, more intuitive, personal and passionate. My students, over the months, feel little by little more involved and in love with the subject and their own capacity for writing, rigor and creation, and see their grades increase, the difficulties giving way to a natural ease and pleasant.

Professor of letters graduated from the Sorbonne (Master 2 mention TB in French literature as well as in philosophy of science), musician and composer, I give in-depth, creative and inspired lessons.
You will be able to improve in the following exercises:
- typical French Baccalaureate exercises
- Methodology of written text commentary
- Literary dissertation methodology
- Methodology of the oral text commentary of the Baccalaureate.
- Dissertation of Modern Letters ENS / preparatory classes
- Oral text commentary
