Analysis, essay writing and deeper understandings of English literature.

Àpd 349.22 CNY /h

English literature is a creative and academically enhancing subject which opens up limitless modes of thinking. Within the class I will focus on close analysis, reading a wide range of literary texts (from classics to contemporary novels) as well as working on essay writing techniques. I believe that with the right guidance and skills, English literature can be transformed from “boring” to a topic you thoroughly enjoy !

Présentation

I am a 21 year old student, studying English literature at Manchester university. I love to be out in nature, spending time with my friends and I am a huge animal lover ! Reading has been a passion of mine for my whole life and I found books to be a way of delving into my imagination and ideas. However, despite always loving literature and reading, I haven’t always found it the easiest academically. With anxiety I often had to create my own learning style to adapt and thrive in school, using cgp books to make my own flash cards with rhymes or random mnemonics. Now I am much more confident and thriving, having just got a first in my second year of my course. It’s my aim to help others achieve the same ! I would be completely on board to look at specific texts students are interested in and even graphic novels (as I am a big fan of them myself, especially fun home by Alison bechdel) so feel free to take the lessons in whichever direction best serves you. I hope to meet you soon !

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.

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 always made significant progress, going from an average of 5 per year to having an average of 14 in the French baccalaureate. My last one to send me his results went from 6 in writing and 9 in speaking to 15 in writing and 17 in speaking (EAF 2024 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 your level and I give exercises to do for the next course (finish a comment, make an introductory essay ...).
I am nice and enthusiastic but nevertheless serious: you will make satisfactory progress because you will work for 😉

The courses are aimed at high school students, literature students, and adults learning French (FLE). Through courses tailored to their needs, learners will consolidate their French skills, either from a strictly linguistic or literary perspective.

As for the language, we will be able to work on different aspects: grammar, conjugation, syntax rules, written and oral expression.

More experienced learners, in rhetoric and at university, will be able to consolidate their skills in written expression and literary analysis.

It is about progressing realistically and at the learner's own pace, and developing methods that allow for long-term improvement.

Étudiante en licence de philosophie, je propose des cours de soutien et d’accompagnement en philosophie pour collégiens et lycéens (notamment préparation au bac).

Mon approche est méthodique et concrète :
– compréhension des notions clés (liberté, justice, vérité, conscience, etc.)
– méthode de la dissertation et du commentaire de texte
– aide à la rédaction, structuration des idées, clarification des concepts
– entraînement à l’oral et à l’argumentation

En tant qu’étudiante, je connais exactement les difficultés actuelles des élèves et les attentes scolaires. Mon objectif n’est pas de réciter des cours abstraits, mais de faire comprendre, penser et argumenter avec rigueur.

Je travaille dans un cadre sérieux et bienveillant, avec des explications claires, des exemples concrets et un suivi personnalisé.
