English, history, and classical studies up to GCSE level

I am an English Literature and Classical Literature and Civilisation student at the University of Birmingham, looking to tutor in English Literature, History, or Classical Civilisation up to GCSE. I can teach any aspect of English Literature and Classical Studies up to this level, and can teach the following areas of history: the Tudors (from Henry VII to Elizabeth I); American history from the invention of the cotton gin in 1793 through to the death of Martin Luther King in 1968; the First World War; and international relations during the Cold War.

I pride myself on my creativity, and through this, I provide personalized 1-1 sessions with students and gear my teaching towards their individual needs. I ask students to tell me about what they're having particular trouble with and help them understand these topics and talk through any issues. I talk to students about their preferred learning methods and structure my teaching around this for optimum results. I'm open to questions and I'm always happy to help students extend their knowledge beyond the curriculum.

About Me

I am a Joint Honours student currently studying for my undergraduate in English Literature and Classical Literature and Civilisation at the University of Birmingham, and I am working towards achieving a strong first. I am passionate about my education and I hope to pursue a Master's degree once I've completed my undergraduate degree.

I pride myself on my creativity, and through this I provide personalised 1-1 sessions with students and gear my teaching towards their individual needs. I ask students to tell me about what they're having particular trouble with, and help them understand these topics and talk through any issues. I talk to students about their preferred learning methods, and structure my teaching around this for optimum results. I'm open to questions and I'm always happy to help students extend their knowledge beyond the curriculum.

I am comfortable teaching the following subjects up to GCSE level:
-English literature
-Classical civilisation and literature/ancient history (not including ancient languages)
-Some history topics: the Tudors (from Henry VII to Elizabeth I); American history from the invention of the cotton gin in 1793 through to the death of Martin Luther King in 1968; the First World War; and international relations during the Cold War.

I ask my students to let me know what they are learning about (eg. particular books they're reading; what period of history they're looking at; specific topics) so that I can prepare lessons and resources. I also focus on what they are having particular difficulties with. Before beginning tuition, I will discuss different learning strategies with students so as to ensure all teaching is relevant and to make the best use of time.

Homework help & MATH lessons on COLLE / St PAUL & Surroundings - By PROFESSOR OF TRADE & PROFESSIONAL COACH
By PROFESSOR & PROFESSIONAL COACH Hello, First and foremost, I would like to wish you a warm welcome back to school and a peaceful year ahead as you work towards your goals. I am aware that the economic situation can sometimes be challenging, which is why I offer my services to accompany your child throughout their academic journey with ease and serenity. Throughout my career as a Graduate Teacher and Graduate Professional Coach, I have worked in various contexts. Until last year, I taught in front of whole classes as well as in private lessons. Since this year, I have been providing face-to-face private lessons at home and also via video conferencing, a mode of teaching that I have practiced with university students for the past ten years. My teaching environment has undergone significant changes, especially with the emergence of the Covid pandemic. This shift has led our secondary school students to adapt to the new mode of learning and communication, namely video conferencing. Despite the success of this transition, it is important to acknowledge that our younger students still require attention and a psycho-emotional connection in order to develop their autonomy peacefully. Over the past two decades, I have implemented proven methodological approaches, some of which are borrowed from theater techniques, such as the Davis method (mind mappings/colors), and my specialty, professional coaching, which aims to enhance your child's motivation. My main goal is to foster agility in your child across all subjects, not only for the present but also for their future when I will no longer be by their side. Ultimately, my objective goes beyond simply focusing on gaining points in a subject. I firmly believe in this approach due to my experience as a Mental Coach working with young athletes between Nice and Cannes, as well as throughout Europe via video conferencing, as part of their preparation for the French Tennis Championships. It has reinforced my conviction that working on a subject should be a nurtured objective that encompasses personal growth and development. As a Professor in General Education, specializing mainly in scientific subjects, I suggest supporting your child in gaining agility in constructing their academic path during this unique period that is filled with both opportunities and challenges. Looking forward to meeting you soon, Corinne. Teacher and Professional Coach Courses offered: - Mathematics / Sciences / Biology - French / French as a Foreign Language - History geography 💼 1000 Trained professionals 🎓🏆 1000 Students and High-Level Athletes in 11 Universities, Sports Clubs, and Schools 🎧 5000 Hours of collective training carried out in person and through E-Learning 🎤 1000 Face-to-Face and E-Learning Conference Hours 👫 6000 Individual Training Hours | Personalized support.

Need help with history? As a civil engineer, 30, I am happy to help you! Learning at your pace and with many examples to clarify the subject matter. I have years of experience in teaching simple and complex subject matter. --- Location: online/at the student's home ---- The lessons follow as follows. First of all, we jointly look for the student's biggest stumbling blocks. These can be related to the subject matter as well as to the study method. From there, I work at the student's pace and encourage them to ask as many questions as possible. I also give them tips and tricks, and improve their working methods where necessary. During the lessons I often care about the subject matter that is more interesting to make and we solve exercises together. In this way I try to optimally prepare the student for his/her test of the exam. However, learning should also be enjoyable. That is why I always strive for a bond with the student through a spontaneous and positive approach. I am also very patient. All this to solve and improve the problems. Are you interested?

Elise
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.

Sarkis
Learn Armenian language, grammar, literature and history in Western Armenian.
Western Armenian is a language that has been put in the endangered language's list, and I personally believe that such a rich language should never die. I believe that I am taking a huge initiative to be one of the individuals who'll try to save this important language from disappearing. I try to make my lessons as interacting as possible. The lessons and exercises will be provided through PowerPoint presentations. I try to listen to my student in order to prepare the lesson plan together, according to his needs and preferences. I've always been the smiling and friendly tutor who makes the student comfortable during the lessons. I believe that in order to reach the students you need to understand them also emotionally and psychologically.
