English Tutor for Children and Teens Needing Help with Reading (and analysis), Essay Writing, and Exams

Van 49.11 $ /h

Hi! I'm Chrissie, and I would love to help you with your English studies. Whether you just need to pass an exam or are really interested in literature I can help! Hopefully, after having some lessons with me, you will have an increased interest or love for the subject.

I work in a very friendly, enthusiastic and encouraging manner and my approach to teaching and guiding students is to facilitate self learning and reflection. If it works for the student, I will encourage them to take studying into their own hands and empower them to tell me what they want to learn and will try my best to give some guidance.

I will teach mainly online, however if you live in central London and you cannot, for whatever reason, do tutorials online I am open to a discussion about meeting in person.

Over

- I am currently studying English at Kings College London
- I am very eager to work with young people who need some help with English and having tutored both my younger brothers, who struggle with dyslexia, I feel I have experience with tutoring children of all different abilities
- Hiring a tutor can be a daunting process, knowing who to trust and who will provide the best service; by hiring my services I will not only help you, or your child to get to where they need to be with English, but I will supply them with personally adapted skills that they can apply to all different areas of school, such as organisational skills and useful learning techniques.

Opleiding

Kings College London - Undergraduate - English with Film Studies. I was a straight A* student at school and am determined to achieve a first class degree in two years time.

Leservaring

Whilst I have no academic teaching qualifications, I have amateur experience tutoring my younger brothers, and other students whilst I was still at school. I am also a trained ski instructor so I have experience in teaching and training children through this.

Whether you are struggling with your structure, your language or the cohesion of your academic piece, I am happy to help you as a sounding board, partner and guide.

My experience in academic writing spans 5 different academic pieces of writing across 3 degrees and several journal articles, with my LLM paper nominated for an award.

I am aware of all the pitfalls one can encounter in this really challenging process and am therefore transparent with regards to not only the quality of the paper but also your work ethic in order that you can then obtain the best piece of work possible.

Have you dreamt of reading Shakespeare and making sense of his words ? Did you know that some Shakespearian plays are easier to tackle than others ? In this class we will be looking at one of Shakespeare's fantasy comedies or one of his tragedies. We will read the play together and discuss the usage of words, as well as its historical contexts. We will study the most important passages in the way they have influenced world culture. I encourage my students to memorise these passages by heart, a gratifying experience.

I teach Dutch to children, adapted to the level of the child, the age and the goals that wish to be achieved. The lessons can be given entirely in Dutch, or with explanations and translations in English where necessary (if the child speaks English). With young children I often use cheerful images, games and songs to learn the language in a playful way. From experience, this also works fine online, via video calls.
If you send me a message, we can discuss the options together.

Tambien puedo dar las clases con traducciones en español.

Greek language courses for people who would like to learn modern Greek from scratch, but also for people who would love to improve their Greek language skills and accompany it with their school or work schedule. The use of communicative approach in combination with grammar is incorporated in the lessons in order to build a strong base, learn the language in depth and gain better a understanding.

I am a British CELTA pass A holder with experience teaching in an academy school, at a university society, and in private classes. I have also taught as an English teacher at a secondary school in Antwerp.

My aim is to help you acquire English through interacting with authentic materials, storytelling, and creativity. We will explore new language in a natural way that will help you to acquire English. I am devoted to directing my lessons based on your own preferences and motivations, and will tailor them to your personal interests. Before we begin classes, I will ask you a few questions, so that I can get to know your needs. I will put a lot of care into making sure your lessons are interesting and comprehensible, whilst also challenging you to use your own knowledge to find out what words and phrases mean.

Feel free to contact me regarding any questions you might have. I look forward to hearing from you. :D

Writing a strong, well-structured essay is a skill that takes time and guidance to perfect. Whether you're struggling with argumentation, structuring, clarity, or just need someone to proofread and refine your work, I’m here to help.

After completing IB English Lang/Lit HL with top marks (7s in HL Essays and IO) and achieving High Distinction (80+/100) in my university writing, I know what it takes to craft essays that are clear, persuasive, and academically strong. In this class, I will help you with everything from brainstorming and structuring to refining your writing style and improving grammar.

Our first session will be focused on understanding what you need—whether that’s detailed feedback, proofreading, or general writing advice. From there, we’ll work together to develop a personalized approach to improve your essays. Expect constructive criticism, clear explanations, and a focus on making your writing as strong as possible.

I am looking for students who are willing to learn, improve, and take their writing to the next level. Every session will be tailored to your goals, and I’ll be there to support you every step of the way!

Nederlands is een mooie taal, alleen niet altijd gemakkelijk om te leren. Twee jaar lang deed ik onderzoek naar hoe een tweede taal nu precies aangeleerd wordt. Wat zijn de hulpmiddelen, valkuilen en vooral... met en gedifferentieerde aanpak.

Daarnaast kan je bij mij ook terecht voor schriftelijke en commerciële aspecten van taal zoals het schrijven van antwoorden op moeilijke vragen, nieuwsbrieven, mailverkeer,... Kortom, voor elke vraag ga ik graag samen met jou op zoek naar een oplossing of antwoord op maat.

Russian literature is captivating, complex, beautiful... But also essential for understanding Russian language, culture and even its current situation. As Yevtushenko said, "In Russia a poet is more than just a poet". And this is why learning more about Russian literature is essential. As a scholar in the area of Russian studies, I've written quite a few articles on that matter, and I'm happy to share my expertise with you!
