English literature- private lessons in analysis, essay writing and exam prep

Àpd 35 $ /h

My basic premise is that anything you can say, you should be able to write. My strengths are in thematic reading of the text, literary techniques and essay writing. I usually work with the student to help them build a strong understanding of the text, and its wider historical and social content, before helping them to understand its themes and key ideas. From there I work with my students to strengthen their writing (factual or creative) and building of their own ideas on paper. I use a variety of exercises and mediums (film, poetry, novels, rap etc) to achieve this.

As literature is an ever-evolving field, I feel learning is very much a two-way process, and try to use dialogue, discussion and contextual materials and examples to build the student's understanding. I really enjoy this field and try to bring my enthusiasm, knowledge and experience to every class I teach.

Spanish/ Español - private lessons to learn speaking, grammar and exam prep

35 $ /h

¡Hola! ¿Qué tal? I have been speaking Spanish for seven years and studied it as a minor in my Bachelor's degree. I have lived and volunteered in Spain and travel there regularly, aswell as read, speak and write in Spanish daily. Not only do I have a strong understanding of Spanish grammar and vocabulary and a deep love of the language but I also understand how to learn it, as it is my second of five languages.

As I have done when teaching Spanish in the past, I'm able to understand the conceptual gaps and differences between the student's first language (particularly if it's Latin or Asian) and work with the student to jump over those hurdles towards greater comprehension. I use a communicative approach which focuses on building the student's fluency and confidence. Finally, I have a strong understanding of Spanish and Latin American culture and history, and so am able to use interesting and contextually relevant materials to keep lessons engaging and lively.

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.

My hourly rate reflects my professional skill set, formal credentials, extensive experience, and my status as a qualified educator, as well as the cost of living in Switzerland. That said, what matters most to me is ensuring that each student receives the support they need. I am open to discussing and adjusting my rates based on fair reasoning to make this possible.

I have been a dedicated IB English Language & Literature educator since 2014, and my expertise extends to serving as an IB External Examiner for IB English A Literature since July 2016. As of May 2023, I have advanced to the role of Team Leader, or Senior Examiner, overseeing the external assessment of Language and Literature components and guiding a team of ten junior examiners.

My passion for Education and Literature has been the cornerstone of my career for nearly a decade. My professional journey spans a diverse range of educational settings, including public and international private schools, as well as independent language institutions.

In addition to my extensive teaching experience, I hold an IB Diploma, a BA in English and Education, an MA in Education, and a Swiss-verified teaching certificate. These credentials underscore my commitment to excellence in education and my deep engagement with the field of literature.

Presentation :
As a former National Education teacher and BAC examiner, I know how to make French enjoyable for struggling students who don't connect with the subject.
Whether it is to explain how to make a dissertation pleasant to read, how to organize a composed commentary or read one's text clearly, distinctly and posed for an oral.
French is not only a subject, French is difficult and requires effort, but these are rewarded!

Method:
My students have consistently made significant progress, going from an average of 5 throughout the year to achieving an average of 14 in the French baccalaureate. My most recent student to send me his results went from 6 in the written exam and 9 in the oral exam to 15 in the written exam and 17 in the oral exam (EAF 2025 session).
I have been preparing classes for these tests for years, I am up to date on methodology and programs.
My services combine the experience of teaching French and the vivacity of a young teacher who succeeds in motivating the most recalcitrant students.
My students have always made significant progress and above all, go to tests with confidence in their abilities.

I adapt to their level and give them exercises to do for the next lesson (finishing a commentary, writing an introduction to an essay...).
I am friendly and enthusiastic, but nonetheless serious: your child will make satisfactory progress because they will work for it 😉

Je suis correctrice du bac, j'enseigne en lycée depuis 15 ans.
Je propose un accompagnement en 3 phases, qui s'adapte aux besoins de chaque élève, mais ne laisse pas de place au hasard.

1 => Une 1ère séance de DIAGNOSTIC : points forts sur lesquels s'appuyer/ points à améliorer. Ce diagnostic est, en lui-même, un outil pour progresser, raison pour laquelle cette première séance est payante.

2 => Un PROGRAMME personnalisé de travail est élaboré, et proposé dès la deuxième séance. Des OBJECTIFS réalistes sont définis.

3 => Une EVALUATION est réalisée à la 5ème séance, pour évaluer la progression au regard des objectifs.
Des critères transparents, liés aux attentes du programme sont employés, mais le 'ressenti' de l'élève pourra aussi être pris en compte.
Un réajustement des méthodes et la suite du programme sont proposés en fonction des résultats.

Le bac de français n'est pas difficile : il s'agit de comprendre les attentes de l'examen. Méthode et entraînement permettent une remise à niveau, ou des progrès rapides..
(ECRIT : commentaire ou dissertation / ORAL : Explication linéaire + entretien sur oeuvre).

Rappel : les notes du bac de français sont déterminantes dans les dossiers PARCOURSUP, quelle que soit le choix d'orientation Post bac.
____ ____ ____ ____ __
Possibilités supplémentaires :
- BACS BLANCS ECRITS, correction de copies.
- ORAUX 'TYPE BAC', entraînements conformes à l'examen.
- STAGES INTENSIFS***, possibles pendant les vacances.

Making Latin fun is a herculean task, but if it becomes digestible, even the frustration that often accompanies it will be alleviated.

Let's review declensions together, learn how to easly recognize verb tenses, and learn how to use the dictionary effectively: it must be our best ally.

Perfect grammar and a good command of vocabulary will be our starting point for achieving sensible, error-free translations.
And if your weakness is literature, let's get down to business: get to know the authors, read the texts, take some quizzes.

Nothing is impossible.

Je propose des cours de français en ligne destinés aux élèves du collège et du lycée qui souhaitent améliorer leur compréhension des textes et développer leurs compétences en expression écrite et orale.
Je suis doctorante en littérature comparée, profondément passionnée par la littérature, et mon objectif est de transmettre cet amour des œuvres aux élèves tout en les aidant à réussir leurs examens.
Durant les séances, nous travaillons sur :
– la compréhension des œuvres intégrales
– l’analyse des textes littéraires
– les méthodes de rédaction (réponses argumentées, commentaire, dissertation)
– la préparation aux examens (contrôles, régional, bac)
Ma méthode consiste à rendre les œuvres plus accessibles et intéressantes, afin que les élèves puissent comprendre les enjeux des textes et prendre confiance dans leur capacité à analyser la littérature.
Les cours se déroulent à distance, dans une atmosphère sérieuse mais bienveillante, adaptée au rythme et aux besoins de chaque élève.

Bonjour,

Reconnue pour mon très grand investissement, mon expérience et mon approche bienveillante mais exigeante, je propose du soutien en français/littérature, une discipline que j'affectionne depuis toujours.

Que ce soit pour reprendre les bases en orthographe/grammaire/conjugaison, améliorer la compréhension et l'analyse de texte, s'exercer à la dissertation ou aider aux examens (brevet, bac), je sais m'adapter à des profils et des besoins variés.

Les cours que je propose se font à distance, un format qui me permet d'accompagner aussi bien les élèves scolarisés que ceux qui sont dans des situations non conventionnelles (CNED, en apprentissage autonome/candidat libre).

J'ai à cœur de donner des cours interactifs et vivants, aussi je m'adapte vraiment à vos besoins et nous discutons ensemble du planning et des points à aborder !

Diplômée en Lettres Modernes avec expérience dans la recherche et la publication, je peux vous aider à analyser un auteur, à structurer votre commentaire ou votre dissertation pour une amélioration nette de votre niveau.
Ma méthode se base sur le raisonnement en direct, à l'oral, car chaque texte est différent, comme chaque élève. Chacun peut y apporter sa sensibilité. La méthodologie est enseignée au fur et à mesure des besoins, de manière à alterner l'exercice pratique et la théorie fondamentale des exercices de français.
